"Blurred Lines" peaked at all of its formats closer together, which is why the song got the sky high record-breaking impressions total. "Happy" did much the same thing, which is why it virtually tied "Blurred Lines" airplay record (225-230 million Billboard HRS, 275-300 million AI), though it did move on to some smaller formats later on that extended the song's longevity at radio.
I would say "Uptown Funk" which reached the Top Five for songs for highest audience ever (185-190 million Billboard HRS, 245-250 million AI), is a cross between "Happy" and "Rolling In The Deep." The latter song charted on a record number of airplay charts over an extended period of time; even though RITD never went far past 150 million impressions on Billboard's HRS, the song had a very long life at radio as it crossed from format to format.
And the debut on HAC! 
My local HAC station has just started to spin it.
