^ Yeah sales are low... but I wonder if the Idol performances would raise sales a bit for UF and TOL (especially TOL)?

Let's go!

-In the wake of the Grammys, many of the top 10 contenders recover and even a few that were overshadowed: Time of Our Lives (13-11), I Don't Mind (14-13), and Centuries (16-14, notably with a bullet!)

-Nicki makes a new top 20 with Truffle Butter (22-17), a collab with Drake and Lil' Wayne. Her other collab with the does not bullet but moves up 19-16.

-Speaking of Grammys, songs boosted both by performance and proxy tumble this week. Stay With Me (11-20) and Chandelier (20-30) both post notable losses, and Don't actually falls straight from hit (38) to recurrent.

-Brit hits Ghost (25-21) and Prayer in C (29-23) both zoom to new peaks this week; could they make top 20 next week? Also, sandwiched in-between is She Knows (24-22), also making a new peak.

-Last week was just warmup for Drake, as now all of the 5 debuts from last week surge (with Energy in particular moving 49-26) and 5 more songs from the new album debut: Know Yourself (70), No Tellin' (81), 6 God (83), Now & Forever (95), and 6 Man (97).

-As expected, the launch of Smoke + Mirrors means I Bet My Life finally becomes a hit (54-28), and Shots also gains, though not to its peak (98-89).

-Riptide yet again gains 32-31 with a bullet on its 35th week. Could we be witnessing the next Sail?

-Aside from Energy, the new hits this week are One Last Time (80-34) and Trap Queen (41-35). Subsequently, aside from Don't, out of the hit zone are Elastic Heart (35-41) and The Heart Wants What it Wants (34-44), the latter of which has now taken 10 position drops for 2 weeks straight!

-Newly in the top 50 aside from the already mentioned are Chains (56-42) and Shut Up and Dance (57-48), along with returning Lonely Tonight (51-47).

-The top debut is Wonderland, which barely misses the top 50 at #51.

-Post to Be surges this week 82-54.

-Aside from Taylor and Drake, there's only one other debut: Go Hard or Go Home at #100, from the Fast and Furious soundtrack. For those keeping track, this means the Wiz song featuring biggest new artist of 2014 generated less buzz than the movie track with the rapper from the second biggest song of 2014. There are however two re-entries: Slow Motion at #96 and Glory at #99. Expect the latter to surge on 3/14's chart.

The Dark Horse, Roar & Bailando videos are some kind of unstoppable beasts. But ouch at Style's video. It really is doing nothing for the song

What happened to Prince Royce's "Stuck on a Feeling"? :( Why Prince Royce's "Stuck on a Feeling" going down to #75? Is that means that Prince Royce could get another single?

It's payola radio support through iHeartMedia ended and it fell like a stone on CHR.

I honestly don't think they'll try another English single with him.

Excluding Birthday, Katy usually does a really good job with her videos. Doesn't surprise me that her music videos do very well on the vevo charts, but I'm surprised at how high Roar and Dark Horse still are after over a year (DH) and a year and a half (Roar) since they have been released.
