Iggy makes everyone tipsy and her smash hit “Fancy” enjoys a third week leading the PlatinumCharts. The hip-hop song with the Clueless-inspired video that is currently slaying worldwide became Iggy Azalea’s first chart topper and features American singer Charli XCX. But Iggy’s slayage has no ending.
“Problem” by Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea (again!) climbs 5-2 and as of now Azalea becomes the third act to chart at #1 and #2 in the same week. Only Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have achieved this so far. The song becomes Grande’s highest peaking entry. “All Of Me” was #1 for three week before being dethroned by Iggy Azalea. The R&B/Pop ballad falls 2-3 this week.
Katy Perry’s “Birthday” is stable at #4 for a second consecutive week. It’s her forth single from PRISM. Justin Timberlake falls at #5 with his #1-smash “Not a Bad Thing”, while Ed Sheeran re-peaks in the Top10 with his lead single from album “x”, titled “Sing”. “Sing” flies 11-6.
Calvin Harris is ready to have a crazy “Summer” as his club banger re-enters the Top10 and achieves a new peak at #7. Pharrell’s “Happy” is still charting at #8, Lana Del Rey moves back at #9 with her come back single “West Coast” and Katy Perry rounds the top10 for another week with her Juicy J collaboration, “Dark Horse”.
Iggy Azalea proves she’s here to stay and so is her smash hit “Fancy”. After dominating the US Charts, the fancy song spends its fourth week as the ruler of the PlatinumCharts. It’s the first song to spend that many weeks at #1 since Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse”. The song also features pop sensation Charli XCX.
John Legend returns at #2 with his former #1 single “All Of Me”. The emotional love ballad flies 3-2 this week and pushes last week’s #2 song, “Problem”, by Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea to #3. Iggy’s domination just can’t let go.
Katy Perry enjoys another week stuck at #4. Her fourth PRISM single seems that can’t follow the success of her previous singles and it could be the first Katy Perry single to miss the Top spot. Nicki Minaj debuts straight in the Top 5 with her lead single from “The Pink Print”, “Pills N Potions”. The mid-tempo song marks Minaj’ highest debut on the chart. Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing” falls at #6 this week. The song spent 2 weeks at #1.
Ed Sheeran falls this week with his new single “Sing”. The Pharrell-produced song peaked at #6 last week. Lana Del Rey remains in the Top10 with her “Ultraviolence” lead single, “West Coast”. The song peaked at #2 in its debut week. Pharrell Williams falls at #9 this week with his “Happy” song. Katy Perry spends a third week at #10 with the Juicy J collaboration, “Dark Horse”.
Iggy Azalea just can’t give up. “Fancy” remains at #1 this week and Iggy Azalea becomes the first act since Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” to maintain the #1 spot for that long. The rap/pop song features Charli XCX who also enjoys her first chart topper. If “Fancy” gets the #1 next week, Iggy would be just the third artist to hold the #1 for that long. Stay tuned!
Sam Smith is ready to dominate and all he needs is to get the chance. “Stay With Me” sky-rockets 11-2 blocked by Iggy Azalea. The love song is Smith’s second chart entry after “La La La” last year. Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea remain steady and hot at #3 and have one less “Problem”. Their cute collaboration went as high as #2.
Former #1 song, “All Of Me”, by John Legend deeps 2-4 this week and after many weeks, it leaves the Top 3. Katy Perry’s “Birthday” moves back one spot with “Birthday”, a song that peaked at #4. Nicki Minaj drops at #6 after debuting at #5 last week with her lead single “Pills N Potions” from her new album “The Pink Print”.
Justin Timberlake remains in the Top 10 with his single “Not a Bad Thing”. The song topped the charts for 2 weeks. Lana Del Rey is stable at #8 with her Ultraviolence lead single “West Coast”. The song debuted and peaked at #2. Ed Sheeran’s single “Sing” falls at #9 this, while Shakira earns her 4th top 10 single as “Dare (La La La)” flies at #10. The boost is caused because of the FIFA World Cup.
Iggy is on the verge of making PlatinumCharts history. The Aussie rapper rules for a sixth consecutive week the PlatinumCharts with her smash hit “Fancy” and becomes the third act to last at #1 for that long. Only Katy Perry and P!nk stayed at the summit for that long. “Fancy” features US artist Charli XCX.
Sam Smith, after jumping 9 spots last week, remains at #2 and he just needs to get the chance and snatch the top spot from Iggy. The song is Smith’s second chart entry. Nicki Minaj gets a pretty big boost this week with her new single “Pill N Potions”. The pop/rap song flies 6-3 and becomes her highest charting solo single to date. “Girl On Fire”, which featured Minaj, peaked at #3 too.
Ed Sheeran gets a new peak for his new single too. “Sing” travels a long way from #7 to #4 and re-peaks on the PlatinumCharts. The song follows his other appearances in the Top 5 like “The A Team” (#1) and “Everything Has Changed” (#4). John Legend falls at #5 with “All Of Me” and Ariana Grande who joined forces with Iggy Azalea also drop from the Top 5 with “Problem”. The song goes all the way at #6.
Katy Perry’s “Birthday” broke her strike of #1 single, but that’s ok. The song peaked at #4 and it’s currently at #7. Justin Timberlake’s #1 single “Not A Bad Thing” moves back at #8 and Charli XCX makes her solo appearance in the Top 10 with her song “Boom Clap” from the soundtrack of “The Fault In Our Stars” film. Shakira rounds the Top 10 with “Dare (La La La)”.
