Chart Notes: Tamar is "The One" as she is not only the chart mover of the week but also our new #1, leaping 8-1 with her latest single. Miley continues her top 2 streak for a seventh consecutive week since her debut on the chart. Lorde's "Tennis Court" is our dropper of the week, falling 18-26 but fear not, she has a royal top debut of the week with her US crossover hit "Royals". Our other new entry comes from Three Days Grace's latest single "Misery Loves My Company" at #27. The Saturdays have also spent an astonishing 21 consecutive weeks in the top 20 with their single "What About Us", will they be able to continue their streak? Stay tuned.

[Billy Uranus]

Surprising #1 this week. I was expecting one of three things: Ellie at #1 again, Miley at #1 again or Lana Del Rey jumping to the top spot. That being said, this race for #1 is very intense.You seem to have a good 7 or 8 songs in the running.

It's funny how "Ooh La La" coninutes to hang on even though it isn't going anywhere. Nice to see two rock-related debuts.

Chart Notes: Miley returns to the penthouse for a third separate run with a fifth week at the top. Lorde is our big mover of the week as she storms the top 10 with a 25-9 jump with her US debut single "Royals". Ciara is our dropper of the week as she's almost out with "I'm Out" making an 18-30 drop. We have 3 new debuts this week including a top 3 debut from Sara Bareilles with her song "Chasing the Sun". "Chasing the Sun" will likely be her next single as its iTunes performance was much stronger than all her other new tracks. Our other new debuts come from Fifth Harmony with their debut single "Miss Movin' On" at #23 and Icona Pop's latest song "All Night" at #25. We also have a new chart component this week called "The Bubbler". Starting this week, I will list 5-10 tracks that will potentially debut on upcoming charts.

[Billy Uranus]

Miley at #1 again? I would have rather seen Tamar Baxton get another week on top. Surprised to see Lana Del Rey rising, and Sara Barellis with a a huge debut. I thought "Brave" would get a week at #1 before that happened.


This week's biggest mover and debuts don't surprise me one bit.

Chart Notes: Miley officially ties the record for the longest running #1 with Ariana's "The Way" which also held the pole position for 6 weeks. Icona Pop's "All Night" is the climber of the week as they vault 25-15 with their latest single. Selena Gomez also achieves her first top 10 hit with "Slow Down" (she peaked at #25 with Come & Get It). Our dropper of the week is Serena Ryder's "What I Wouldn't Do" as it falls 16-29. We have a record 6 new entries this week including a top 10 debut from Iggy Azalea's latest single "Bounce". Our other five entries include "Need U (100%)" by Duke Dumont & A*M*E - Need U (100%), The Band Perry's latest single "Don't Let Me Be Lonely", the first Jonas Brothers song that I actually like; "First Time", Disclosure's "White Noise (feat. AlunaGeorge)" and last but not least Austin Mahone's "What About Love" at #30.

[Billy Uranus]

This reign of terror just won't stop, will it? Really surprised to see "Bounce" debuting so high...that's pretty random. Maroon 5 is continuing to slowly move up, as is Capital Cities.

Otherwise, we really need to get Bonnie McKee on here.

Chart Notes: "We Can't Stop" has officially become the longest running song on my chart with 7 weeks at the pole position as well as 10 consecutive weeks within the top 2. Lorde continues her quick climb as she claws her way into the top 3 in just her fourth week on the chart. The greatest gainer of the week is Disclosure's "White Noise (feat. AlunaGeorge)" which makes a 28-14 dash in its second week on the chart. The chart dropper of the week is The Saturdays "Gentleman" as they fall 8 positions (19-27). We only have one new entry this week, Jordin Sparks' latest song "Skipping A Beat" debuts at #25. This is the first time in weeks that we have a re-entry but since Robin Thicke's latest single is officially the seductive "Give It 2 U (feat. Kendrick Lamar)", I have decided to bring it back on the chart.

[Billy Uranus]

Man, I thought "Royals" was going to take that #1 spot this week. Perhaps she will end up getting snubbed just like Sara Barellis?


And Bonnie McKee REALLY should have debuted this week.

Chart Notes: Sara Bareilles claims a new record as the longest charting song to hit #1. She previously made it to #2 twice (blocked by the 6 week #1 hit "The Way" and the 7 week chart topper "We Can't Stop". Fueled by the controversy with another singer ripping off Bareilles, the song has gotten additional attention on my chart this week. Miley extends her top 2 chart record to an 11th week in the runner up position. Robin Thicke is the greatest gainer of the week has he continues his rebound (29-15) with his latest single "Give It 2 U (feat. Kendrick Lamar). Capital Cities nearly drops off the chart as they plummet (12-30) with "Safe and Sound. We have 4 new entries this week including Cascada who is the highest entry of the week with their latest single "The World Is In My Hands" at #3. Lady GaGa's latest single "Applause" makes a #4 splash on the chart. Drake is at home on the chart as he makes a #18 debut with his latest single "Hold On, We're Going Home (feat. Majid Jordan)". Our last chart entry is One Direction's "Best Song Ever" at #29.

[Billy Uranus]

I had advance knowledge of "Brave" hitting #1, so I'm not surprised one bit. What does surprise me though is Cascada debuting ahead of GaGa...I didn't see THAT one coming.

It's a bummer to see Lorde dropping already, but hopefully she can make her way back up near #1 in the coming weeks. And hopefully Bonnie McKee sneaks in one of these weeks.

Chart Notes: Miley returns to the top for a fourth run and a record breaking 8th week at the penthouse. Lady GaGa continues to receive Applause as she moves up to the runner up spot in her second week. Jordin Sparks is sure skipping a beat as she is our big mover of the week, vaulting 26-14 in her third week on the chart. Chris Brown is the dropper of the week as he falls 17-28 in his 10th week on. We have 3 new entries including a top 10 debut from The Saturdays latest single "Disco Love". Both of their previous chart entries made it to the penthouse, will they continue their streak? Jesse McCartney comes back with a more retro sounding song as "Back Together" debuts at #13. Bonnie McKee is our final entry at #21 with her anthem "American Girl".

[Billy Uranus]

This can't be real, can it? A 4-time #1 hit? I was expecting "Brave" to get another week at #1. Also, I'd say The Saturdays are a bit too high of a debut for my taste, but "American Girl" FINALLY debuting makes up for that.

Also, it's nice to see "Royals" and "Slow Down" doing well.

Chart Notes: Lady GaGa finally sees some applause appropriately on the week of my birthday as she hits #1 in her third week on the chart. Miley continues her top 2 consecutive week as she falls back in the runner up spot this week. One Direction is the greatest gainer of the week as they make a 23-19 leap with "Best Song Ever". Icona Pop is our big dropper of the week as they tumble 17-22 with "All Night". Our highest entry of the week comes from Tamar Braxton's latest single "All The Way Home" at #3. Other new entries include Miley Cyrus' latest "Wrecking Ball" at #23 and Avril Lavigne's "Rock N Roll" at #26.

[Billy Uranus]

It's a pretty predictable chart this week, but not in a bad way. Lady GaGa being on top is one of the most Drag things ever. I must say, I am a bit disappointed to see "Royals" falling out of the top 5.

I'm glad to see "American Girl" rising into the top 20.

Chart Notes: Lady GaGa continues to receive applause as she sits pretty on top for a second consecutive week. Trailing behind her is Robin Thicke's "Give It 2 U (feat. Kendrick Lamar)" as he jumps to #2 and achieves a new peak. Our big gainer of the week is Avril Lavigne's "Rock N Roll" with a 26-18 jump. Our big dropper of the week is Jordin Sparks' "Skipping A Beat" which plummets 16-30. We have 4 new entries including 2 within the top 10. Cher Lloyd's wish comes true as she is our highest entry of the week with the lead single off her upcoming album "I Wish (feat. T.I.) coming in at #5. Ariana Grande is also right there with Lloyd as she comes in at #7 with "Right There (feat. Big Sean). Lower down the chart we have Ciara's latest pop single "Overdose" coming in at #23 and Naughty Boy's "La La La (feat. Sam Smith) coming in at #24.

[Billy Uranus]

Nice solid debut for Cher Lloyd! I'm not expecting her, or even Robin Thicke, to hit #1. I think GaGa will have a long run on top, knowing her history with you and how much you like that song.

The Ariana Grande debut is surprisingly high...would have expected her and Ciara to be reversed, to be honest. Also, I'm surprised how slowly "Wrecking Ball" is climbing thus far.

Ariana Grande sets a new record as Right There makes the biggest fall off the chart to date (7-off). Miley Cyrus is our greatest gainer of the week as she vaults 19-10 with "Wrecking Ball" in her third week. Jesse McCartney is our dropper of the week (12-18) with his single "Back Together". We have three new entries and one re-entry this week including Demi Lovato's soundtrack single "Heart By Heart" at #21 as our high entry of the week. Hunter Hayes re-enters at #22 with "I Want Crazy" due to a pop remix from Ryan Tedder. At #25 Ellie Goulding's latest single "You, My Everything" makes a #25 debut and right behind it, Celine Dion enters at #26 with the lead single " Loved Me Back To Life".

[Billy Uranus]

I was expecting a longer reign on top for "Applause," but I can't say I'm not surprised by your #1 song.

In other news, it's GREAT to see "American Girl" nearing the top 10. Never would have expected this a couple of months back. I thought "Wrecking Ball" would be top 5 by now, though.

Chart Notes: Britney works for her #1 debut and finally earns her first chart topper and second top 5 hit (Ooh La la peaked at #5 earlier this year). Miley spends an astounding 16th week in the top 5 with "We Can't Stop" and she also has the longest run in the top 10 so far to date. One Direction is our climber of the week as they make a huge 15-8 leap with "Best Song Ever". Jesse McCartney is our dropper of the week as he tumbles 18-29 with "Back Together". We have four new debuts this week including Work Bitch at #1, Lana Del Rey's "Young & Beautiful (Cedric Gervais Radio Edit)" at #23, Mike Will Made-It's "23 (feat. Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa & Juicy J)" at #25 and Iggy Azalea's latest single "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.) at #26.

[Billy Uranus]

This has got to be the most predictable #1 debut in the history of charts. In a more surprising note, I never thought Cher Lloyd or Lorde would drop that quickly.

Bonnie McKee just can't catch a break, can she?

Cole sets a new record as the longest climb into the top 10 as her glides 12-9 with "Crooked Smile (feat. TLC)". Our greatest gainer of the week goes to Iggy Azalea's "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.) as it vaults 26-18. Our big dropper of the week is Lorde's "Royals" which tumbles 15-29 in its 11th week on the chart. We have 2 new entries this week including Daughtry's latest single "Waiting For Superman" at #28 and MIKA and Ariana Grande's Popular Song at #30. Also noteworthy is The Saturdays passing the 30 week mark last week with "What About Us" which remains to be the only song left from the original debut of this chart, they move up 30-27 in their 31st week.

Regarding the recurrents addition, I will be posting my top 10 recurrents (they will be my 10 favorites released in the past 5 years) in addition to my usual charts. Enjoy chart fanatics!

[Billy Uranus]

It looks like we're in for a long ride with the head bitch. I could see her challenging Miley for the record of weeks at #1. Speaking of Miley, it looks like her and some other former #1s look like they are fighting over the #2 spot, along with 5 young bastards from across the pond.

I like the recurrent chart! Having Three Days Grace on there is a really nice touch.

Chart Notes: Britney is the head bitch in charge once again, as she commands the pole position for a third consecutive week. One Direction may not have the best song ever but second best is close, right? Lana Del Rey is our big mover of the week as she storms the chart 17-4 with her latest dance remix of "Young & Beautiful (Cedric Gervais Radio Edit). Ciara also has her best peak on the chart to date as she makes a 13-7 leap with "Overdose" the upcoming pop single off her latest record. Bonnie McKee ironically drops 10-20 with "American Girl" the week where the American government is down for the count. We have one entry from Ariana Grande's "Right There (feat. Big Sean)" which initially debuted at #7 a few weeks back; however, she fell off the charts quickly. Our new entry of the week comes from The Naked and Famous as they finally make the chart at #30 with their lead single "Heart Like Ours".

So this wee is all about Britney Spears, huh? And how about Bonnie McKee falling so badly?


EDIT: Somehow I missed that MY JAM has debuted at #30. Nice going! How high do you think it will go?
