Here's what I'm predicting for top 20:
Uptown Funk gets its third week at #1. Thinking Out Loud reaches top 3. Sugar will debut in the top 20, maybe top 10. Ghost will make top 20.

I say it'll do as well as Waves or Cool Kids.
The radio station I listen to has finally picked up Cool Kids and I Lived (they've only just become popular here) and I've heard them so much today! Love them

Final prediction:
1. Uptown Funk (40% lead) 2. Thinking Out Loud 3. Blank Space 4. Take Me To Church 5. Lips Are Movin' 6. I'm Not The Only One 7. Jealous 8. Sugar 9. Shake It Off 10. All About That Bass (please be out next week and preserve the dignity of the Republic :'()
I'll be shocked as well as disappointed if Ghost is not in the top 20 this week.

I've liked Sugar since it was performed on The Voice. Fun sugary pop song. I agree it's very Birthday like.

It seems Billboard is getting later and later with their articles. The BB 200 article isn't even posted yet!

#BillboardMess
The magazine will cease to print this year IMO.
They've had the BB200 figures since Monday AM! They can't write the article early>

I've subscribed to Billboard Magazine for thirty years. Until 4 years ago it was weekly.
I just learned it will only print 39 issues this year. I can't see how it CAN continue to print.
If you are into the articles, you can go to Billboard.biz. If you are into the charts, there is Billboard.com. If you buy it because you collect hard copies of the charts (me!) you can't collect consistently without huge gaps (13 gaps per year)
What I don't get is that they have been pouring a lot of energy into new printed chart designs, layouts, etc. Either its a last ditch effort, or they really do foresee printing for a while to come.

Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars Top Hot 100, Maroon 5 Debuts at No. 8'Uptown Funk!' rules for a third week. Plus, the police helps escort Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' back into the top five and Maroon 5's 'Sugar' sweetens the chart at No. 8. Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, leads the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift's newest fan -- in blue -- sparks a resurgence for "Shake It Off" and Maroon 5 blasts in at No. 8 with its new single "Sugar" following the premiere of its video. As we do each Wednesday, let's look at the key numbers throughout the top 10 on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100. "Funk!," released on RCA Records, spends a fourth week atop Digital Songs with 400,000 downloads sold (up 17 percent) in the week ending Jan. 18, according to Nielsen Music, and nets the Hot 100's top Digital Gainer award. It also leads the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart for a second week with 5.3 million U.S. streams (up 14 percent). "Funk" retreats 1-2 on Streaming Songs despite a 28 percent gain to 14.9 million, while on Radio Songs, it flies 6-2 with a 31 percent burst to 135 million in all-format audience, good for top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100, as well. Aiding the momentum of "Funk": Ronson's new album, Uptown Special, which debuts on the Billboard 200 at No. 5 with 77,000 equivalent units (including 30,000 in pure album sales). Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" charges 4-2 on the Hot 100, reaching a new peak (and marking a new best career rank for the singer/songwriter). The third single from X stays at No. 2 on Digital Songs (241,000, up 8 percent); lifts 4-3 on Streaming Songs (10.5 million, up 14 percent); and pushes 9-7 on Radio Songs (93 million, up 27 percent). Thus, after a lengthy (and well-documented) run of women ruling the Hot 100's upper reaches, solo men now control the chart's top two. It's the first time that male soloists have ranked at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously in eight months; John Legend and Pharrell Williams last doubled up on the May 24 chart with "All of Me" (No. 1) and "Happy" (No. 2). And, as predicted here last week, "Funk" (up 23 percent in overall activity) and "Loud" (up 13 percent) appear in line to lock up the Hot 100's top two spots for the foreseeable future, with "Funk" likely to lead, given its significant current advantage in chart points. After topping the Hot 100 for seven weeks, Swift's "Blank Space" drops 2-3, while fellow former No. 1 (for four weeks) "Shake It Off" rebounds 9-5 as the chart's top Streaming Gainer. Behind the latter hit's comeback? Master Cpl. Jeff Davis of the Dover, Del. Police department went viral with his sassy lip sync of it after it was posted to the department's Facebook page. On Streaming Songs, "Shake" returns to the top, vaulting 8-1 with a 132 percent increase to 16.7 million U.S. clicks (with more than two-thirds of its weekly streams from YouTube views of the user-generated clip). The song leads the chart for a second week, having first topped it the week of Nov. 22. Meanwhile, "Space" crowns Radio Songs for a sixth week, extending her longest command (145 million, down 4 percent). Plus, "Style," newly confirmed as the official third single from 1989, surges 72-52 on the Hot 100, powered largely by its 37-23 bump on Digital Songs (51,000, up 22 percent). Also in the Hot 100's top five, Hozier's No. 2-peaking "Take Me to Church" slips 3-4. It holds at No. 3 on Digital Songs (159,000, down 20 percent) and No. 4 on Radio Songs (117 million, up 7 percent) and rebounds 5-4 (after reaching No. 2) on Streaming Songs (9.2 million, up 2 percent). On the Hot Rock Songs chart, "Church" rules for a 14th week. Meghan Trainor keeps at No. 6 on the Hot 100 with her No. 4-peaking "Lips Are Movin," while her debut eight-week No. 1 "All About That Bass" holds at No. 10. As "Bass" spends a 25th week in the top 10, it becomes just the 10th song in the Hot 100's 56-year history to log that many weeks or more in the region. (LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" holds the record with 32 weeks in the top 10 in 1997-98.) "Lips" reaches the Radio Songs top 10, climbing 11-8 with a 17 percent jump to 75 million in audience. The moves add to Trainor's monumental week, as her debut full-length Title roars to the top of the Billboard 200 with 238,000 equivalent units (with 195,000 from pure album sales). Below Sam Smith's "I'm Not the only One," which falls to No. 7 from its No. 5 high, Maroon 5 launches at No. 8 with "Sugar." The band instantly adds its 11th top 10 and equals its second-best bow; "Payphone" rocketed in at No. 3 in 2012 (before peaking at No. 2), while "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, also started at No. 8 in 2011 (eventually spending four weeks at No. 1). Notably, "Jagger" jumpstarted Maroon 5's profile (unsurprisingly, as frontman Adam Levine and Aguilera had begun their runs as coaches on NBC's The Voice). The group has logged eight of its 11 Hot 100 top 10s starting with "Jagger." It had first reached the tier three times in 2004-07. "Sugar" starts at No. 4 on Digital Songs (150,000, up 3,577 percent) and at No. 7 on Streaming Songs (8 million), following the Jan. 14 premiere of its buzzy official video in which Maroon 5 goes on a wedding-crashing spree. The soulful pop track nears Radio Songs with a 184 percent gain to 22 million. Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10 (above "Bass"), Nick Jonas' "Jealous" backtracks to No. 9 from its No. 7 peak. Visit Billboard.com tomorrow (Jan. 22), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 in its entirety and Digital Songs, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs, will refresh, as they do each Thursday. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6443847/mark-ronson-bruno-mars-top-hot-100

I presume Ariana will be gone from the top 10 until One Last Time is released as a single (hopefully the night of the Grammys, with an acoustic performance).

www.yahoo.com/music/maroon-5s-sugar-rushes-to-the-top-10-108767996651.html Maroon 5's 'Sugar' Rushes to the Top 10Paul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch January 21, 2015 Maroon 5's âSugarâ is this week's top new entry on the Hot 100 at #8. It's the group's 11th top 10 hit; its eighth in a row. That's the group's entire output since its career-revitalizing 2011 collabo with Christina Aguilera, âMoves Like Jagger.â The fast start was boosted by the songâs video, which is built on a simple, but clever idea: Maroon 5 pops in and plays at numerous wedding celebrations. The video may be a little corny, but itâs cute and itâs fun. This is the groupâs third single to debut in the top 10. âPayphoneâ (featuring Wiz Khalifa) started at #3. âMoves Like Jaggerâ also debuted at #8. âJaggerâ was released in June 2011, just two months after Adam Levine and Aguilera made their first appearances as judges on The Voice. This is the second song titled âSugarâ to make the top 10. A different song with that title by Flo Rida featuring Wynter reached #5 in May 2009. And hereâs some deep trivia for you: With this streak of eight consecutive top 10 hits, Maroon 5 is indeed âmoving like Jagger.â But they still havenât quite matched the rock legend. The Rolling Stones had nine consecutive top 10 hits in the U.S., from âThe Last Timeâ in May 1965 to âRuby Tuesdayâ in March 1967. (Iâm discounting a couple of B sides which charted below the top 10.) "Uptown Funk!" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars logs its third week at #1 in its 10th week on the chart. The song logs its fourth week at #1 on Hot Digital Songs. It sold 400K copies this week, bringing its 10-week sales total to 2,497,000. "Uptown Funk!" logs its fifth week at #1 on the U.K.âs Official Singles Chart. Thatâs the longest run at #1 in the U.K. since "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. + Pharrell had five weeks on top in 2013. Ronsonâs album, Uptown Special, enters The Billboard 200 at #5, with surprisingly soft (actual) sales of 30K. (Digital song sales and streaming bumps the âsales equivalentâ tally up to 77K, but even that is below what you might expect from an album containing a hit of this magnitude.) Ed Sheeran's âThinking Out Loudâ jumps from #4 to #2 in its 15th week. This marks the first time that male solo artists have locked up the top two spots since May, when John Legend's âAll of Meâ and Pharrell Williams's âHappyâ were #1 and #2. Taylor Swift's âBlank Space,â which logged seven weeks at #1, dips from #2 to #3 in its 12th week. It holds at #1 for the sixth week on the Radio Songs chart (which measures radio airplay across all genres). The song tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. It's Swift's second 3-million seller from 1989. âShake It Offâ is up to 3,763,000. Hozier's âTake Me to Church,â which peaked at #2, dips from #3 to #4 in its 23rd week. It's #1 on Hot Rock Songs for the 14th week. That's the longest run at #1 by any song since Lorde's âRoyalsâ logged 19 weeks at #1 in 2013-'14. âRoyalsâ won a Grammy as Song of the Year. âTake Me to Churchâ is nominated for that same award this year. Swiftâs âShake It Off,â which logged four weeks at #1, rebounds from #9 to #5 in its 22nd week. The resurgence is due to the viral success of a lip-sync video by one Master Cpl. Jeff Davis of the Dover, Del. Police Department. Meghan Trainor's âLips Are Movin,â which has climbed as high as #4, holds at #6 for the second week in its 13th week. Trainor's debut album, Title, enters The Billboard 200 at #1, with robust (actual) first-week sales of 195K. Sam Smith's âI'm Not the Only Oneâ drops from its #5 high-point to #7 in its 20th week. Nick Jonas's âJealousâ drops from its #7 high-point to #9 in its 19th week. Trainorâs âAll About that Bass,â which logged eight weeks at #1, holds at #10 for the second week in its 28th week. The song has ranked in the top 10 for 25 weeks. Billboard's Gary Trust reports that it's just the 10th song in Hot 100 history (which dates to 1958) to log 25 or more weeks in the top 10. The all-time champ is LeAnn Rimes's âHow Do I Live,â which spent 32 weeks in the top 10 in 1997-'98. "Style," the third single from Swiftâs album, jumps from #72 to #52 in its sixth week. Will it become her third #1 in a row? Stay tuned. Luke Bryan's âPlay It Againâ tops the 2 million mark in digital sales this week. The song reached #14 on the Hot 100 and logged nine weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs. "The Hanging Tree" by James Newton Howard featuring Jennifer Lawrence tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. The song has climbed as high as #12. To My Readers: Iâll have another blog drawn from the Hot 100 that will focus on the weekâs other top debuts, which will (likely) include Kelly Clarkson's âHeartbeat Song,â Zac Brown Band's âHomegrown,â Fall Out Boy's âUma Thurman,â âAll About Itâ by Hoodie Allen featuring Ed Sheeran and âGloryâ by Common & John Legend.
