It's yet another great week for new artists on the Billboard Hot 100. For the fourth week in a row, Meghan Trainor's single "All About That Bass" is resting comfortably in the No. 1 spot in the country. Meanwhile, rising acts Tove Lo and Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne have cracked the top 10 with their respective singles "Habits (Stay High)" and "Rather Be."
For the fourth week in a row, "All About That Bass" reigns supreme, according to Billboard, and it's all thanks to Trainor owning the charts in every way. Her body positive single topped digital downloads (253,000 copies), radio play (147 million audience impressions) and streaming (14.3 million American plays). We really are "All About That Bass" and all about Trainor.
Taylor Swift's former chart-topping pop single "Shake It Off" plays second fiddle to Trainor for the fourth week, staying cozy at No. 2. Swift's numbers were mega-boosted thanks to the single's addition on Spotify, and "Shake It Off" topped the on-demand streaming songs chart with 4.3 million plays. Overall, "Shake It Off" rose to No. 3 on Streaming Songs, once again, thanks to Spotify. Despite some streaming dominance, Swift couldn't hold a candle to Trainor, coming in second on both downloads and radio play.
The last four weeks on the Hot 100 have been remarkably familiar, with female artists consistently holding the top five spots in the country. Below the dominating forces of Trainor and Swift, Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" clocked back into No. 3, followed by Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's "Black Widow" and the uber-collaboration between Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Minaj, "Bang Bang." Each song has held steady in the top five in various positions since Sept. 10.
And, once again, for the fourth week in a row, former chart-topper Sam Smith is remaining at No. 6 with "Stay With Me."
Despite the highly familiar top six spots in the country, there is some new music in the top 10. Tove Lo's debut single "Habits (Stay High)" vaulted up six spots this week to proudly land at No. 7. The new position for "Habits" comes thanks to 109,000 digital downloads, 5.7 million streams and 59 million audience impressions on radio - not too shabby for a first-timer.
Tove Lo is not the lone newcomer to the Billboard top 10 this week, with electronic act Clean Bandit & Jess Glyne's "Rather Be" cracking in at No. 10. The U.K. act is similarly coming into the top 10 with its debut single and achieved 87,000 downloads this week, 75 million audience impressions on radio and 4.4 million streams.
Ariana Grande's "Break Free" fell one spot this week, breaking into the No. 8 spot and Jeremih's latest single "Don't Tell 'Em" landed at No. 9.
