Here's the article in case you're interested...


"The collab could be in for a lengthy reign, as it also takes over atop the Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs charts.

Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, could be settling in for a long run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as it leads the chart for a second week. As it rules again, it also rises 2-1 on both the Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs charts, further solidifying its spot atop the Hot 100.

As we do each Wednesday, let's run down the numbers throughout the top 10 on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100.

"Funk!," released on RCA Records, spends a third week atop Digital Songs with 341,000 downloads sold (down 11 percent) in the week ending Jan. 11, according to Nielsen Music. It also passes 2 million in sales to date (2.1 million). The track crowns two additional tallies, lifting 2-1 on both Streaming Songs, with a 15 percent surge to 11.6 million U.S. streams, and the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (4.7 million, up 15 percent). The advances grant the song the Hot 100's top Streaming Gainer award.

On Radio Songs, "Funk" climbs 9-6 with a 37 percent blast to 103 million in all-format audience, good for top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100, as well.

The momentum of "Funk" should only continue as Ronson's new album, Uptown Special, arrived this week and is due for a likely lofty debut on next week's Billboard 200 album chart. In addition to Mars, the set features Stevie Wonder on two tracks (with all 11 cuts collaborations).

After topping the Hot 100 for seven weeks, Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" spends a second week at No. 2. As the track leads Radio Songs for a fifth week, Swift rewrites her longest reign on the list; she previously led for four weeks each with "I Knew You Were Trouble." (2013) and prior single "Shake It Off" (2014).

"Space" falls 1-3 after seven weeks atop Streaming Songs (9.3 million, down 14 percent). On Digital Songs, it drops 2-4 (176,000, down 38 percent).

As previously reported, Swift's "Style" enters the Pop Songs radio airplay chart at No. 39, although it's not yet confirmed as the next single from 1989, which leads the Billboard 200 for a ninth week. "Style" nears the all-format Radio Songs ranking a whopping 315 percent gain to 13 million in airplay audience.

Hozier's "Take Me to Church" holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2. It departs the On-Demand Songs summit after eight weeks (1-2), despite a 6 percent gain to 4.5 million; stays at No. 3 on Digital Songs (199,000, down 25 percent); rises 5-4 on Radio Songs (109 million, up 15 percent); and retreats 4-5 on Streaming Songs, although it's up by 6 percent (to 9.1 million). On the Hot Rock Songs chart, "Church" dominates for a 13th week.

Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" holds at its Hot 100 peak, and his best career rank (4-4), as the ballad makes the biggest percentage gain in overall points (up 13 percent) of any song in the top 10. The third single from X charges 4-2 on Digital Songs (224,000, up 2 percent) and rockets into the Radio Songs top 10 (19-9; 74 million, up 45 percent); prior X singles "Sing" (No. 9) and "Don't" (No. 3) became Sheeran's first two Radio Songs top 10s. At five weeks, "Loud" marks his fastest flight to the Radio Songs top 10.

"Loud" also becomes Sheeran's first top five hit on Streaming Songs, soaring 8-4 (9.2 million, up 20 percent).

Given the gains for "Funk" and "Loud," and with "Space" and "Church" past their peaks, Ronson and Sheeran's tracks could stage weekly battles for the Hot 100's summit for the foreseeable future.

Closing out the Hot 100's top five, Sam Smith's "I'm Not the Only One" rebounds to its top rank (8-5). It keeps at No. 2 on Radio Songs (123 million, up 9 percent); rises 9-7 on Digital Songs (92,000, down 26 percent); and reaches the Streaming Songs top 10, bounding 14-10 (7 million, up 9 percent).

(Notably, after women set a record by locking out men from the Hot 100's top five for seven consecutive weeks in September-November, five men, via four songs, now inhabit the top five: Ronson, Mars, Hozier, Sheeran and Smith.)

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Meghan Trainor slips 5-6 with her No. 4-peaking "Lips Are Movin"; Nick Jonas' "Jealous" jumps to a new peak (9-7), passing its prior No. 8 highpoint; Ariana Grande and The Weeknd's No. 7 hit "Love Me Harder" returns to the top 10 (11-8); Swift's former four-week No. 1 "Shake" descends 7-9; and Trainor's former eight-week leader "All About That Bass" slides 6-10. Both "Lips" and "Bass" are from Trainor's debut full-length Title, released this week (following its original release as an EP); like Ronson's album, Title should challenge for the upper reaches of next week's Billboard 200 chart."

The top 10 is in much need of new entries.

[Verisimilitude]

Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” jumps 2-1 on the Weekly Combined Stream Playlist, with 11.6 million streams, up over a million and a half over last week.

Sia’s “Elastic Heart” debuts at No. 2 with 9.6 million streams. The controversial video for the song, which was originally released in 2013 on the “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” soundtrack, was released last week.

Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” jumps 8-4 and Sam Smith’s “I’m Not The Only One” moves 14-10.

Big movers include Usher’s “I Don’t Mind” 41-30, James Newton Howard’s “The Hanging Tree” 43-34, Flo Rida’s “G.D.F.R.” 64-46 and The Weeknd’s “Often” 59-50.

Sia just missing the top 10. :(

Taylor., I have to include the video link? Not mad, but just asking.

[kingofpain]

Ugh! When is something interesting going to enter the top 10??? This has been such a yawnfest for months!!!

No obligation to do so but it is helpful to see :)

Well centuries will probably enter next week. The new Katy and Rihanna singles are all but guaranteed. And if Style has even close to sales and streaming as blank space(which it probably will) that'll be at least top 3. The hanging tree is slowly gaining too, so it should get interesting soon. Also ghost and I lived are skyrocketing so there's that too.

[theflying]

The top of the Pop radio charts is even more stagnant than the Hot 100.

[Dylan :)]

New peak for Jealous, Ariana back in with full force (although I expect another fall next week). If only Elastic Heart had a bit better sales, or some radio :( May have gotten top 10.

Do you know if she'll make it an official single?

It is the official second single and the video is already being played on a couple of video channels. It just hasn't been sent for radio adds yet.

Gotcha, thanks Erin!

[Dylan :)]

The original version with The Weekend was sent to radio in 2013, but it's not getting any spins :(
She is performing it this week on SNL

Didn't EH jump into iTunes Top 20 as soon as video hit? Clearly radio is the issue, but that's what happens when you release video well in advance of radio promotion.

Yup, the highest I saw it go was #15. Currently in the low 20s. Hoping they send it fast, and keep up the live performances..

[badrobot]

Have they announced what position Elastic Heart debuts at?

Kinda fascinating that an artist who doesn't appear in her own videos is now having two huge streaming-heavy singles in a row.

[Verisimilitude]

"Elastic Heart" should debut in the top 20 ala "Booty" with those streams.

[HolidayGuy]

Could "Elastic Heart" have entered as highs No. 2 on Streaming?

Yeah, they really should've been prepared. They did not hire those 'stars' and create that kind of disturbing video for nothing. They knew it would create a stir and Sia only added to it.

[Dylan :)]

I think it may debut higher than Booty, has a bit more streams (.4m or something) and it most likely has better sales than Booty did. So far this week it's gotten ~11 million streams (ww, obviously)

[badrobot]

^Didn't the change the streaming ratio tho since Booty debuted? (I kind of think it was one of the reasons for the change.)

Oh yeah.. true..

[Dylan :)]

Well then, lol.

(btw, my guess was just be being super optimistic, I was expecting a mid 30s debut)

[Clauss]

If it had debuted 11 it would had been reported, like "Sia misses top 10" :/

[badrobot]

Wow, #17! Nice work, Sia!
