Rihanna's "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, jumps 6-3 on the Hot 100 (returning to its peak position), fueled in part by a milestone 2-1 coronation on Radio Songs (134 million, up 4%). The ballad becomes Rihanna's 11th No. 1 on Radio Songs, tying her with Mariah Carey for the most leaders dating to the BDS-based chart's December 1990 inception. Usher ranks third with seven Radio Songs No. 1s, followed by Ludacris and Kanye West, each with six, and 50 Cent, Beyonce, Boyz II Men, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry (five each).
"Stay" bullets at No. 4 on Digital Songs (162,000, up less than 1%) and No. 15 on Streaming Songs (2.9 million, up 10%).
#1 Pop Songs, #1 Radio Songs
Would've easily been a Hot 100 #1 if it was available on Spotify
"Reason" reigns over "Hold" in the tightest race
between the Hot 100's top two titles in almost six
months, with the former song collecting just 2%
more overall chart points this week. "Reason" gains
by 1% and "Hold," 14%, perhaps setting the stage
for "Hold" to hit No. 1 next week.
P!nk getting that 3rd and well deserved week
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis coming next week
Stays longevity
Mirrors, I Love It, & Radioactive coming to slay summer

Difference in BB points last week was 6,5K:
1 Just Give Me a Reason 47,5K
2 Can't Hold Us 41K
This week it's less than 2K based on my estimates:
1 Just Give Me a Reason 48,1K
2 Can't Hold Us 46,3K
Next week will be close, but i think CHU has advantage as it's now have streaming and sales lead.
PS. Mirrors is catching, but still have about 10K points deficit from Macklemore.
It falls 1-6 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs (4.7 million U.S. streams, down 66%), even ranking below his breakout hit from last year, "Gangnam Style," which holds at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (5.3 million, down 22%).
