The run of hits having extended stays in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 continues this week, as John Legend's piano-driven love ballad "All Of Me" rules the U.S. charts for the third time.
Yes, "All Of Me" tops the charts yet again, according to Billboard. The touching tribute to Legend's wife Christine Teigen leads Radio Songs for the fourth week in a row, reaching an audience of 176 million over the last seven days. The track also gained 10 percent for digital sales, moving 158,000 digital downloads, and it held at No. 2 on the On-Demand Songs chart, helping to lead it over some of the summer's coming hits.
But, the heat is coming behind Legend... and it's looking a little "Fancy." Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX's infectious rap gem rose another spot this week, marking its peak at No. 2 on the Hot 100. "Fancy" led streams over the last week, with 8.4 million plays, moved 234,000 copies of digital downloads and ruled On-Demand songs for the third week in a row. Azalea just can't best those adult contemporary radio numbers though - "Fancy" was only played 85 million times last week, just half of Legend's "All Of Me" numbers.
Azalea continues her back-to-back chart hits, as her collaboration with Ariana Grande, the brilliant "Problem," rises back to its No. 3 peak after slipping one spot last week. "Problem" continues to ride into the charts on the strength of its digital downloads, as the Grande track falls at No. 1 on the sales charts again, moving 247,000 copies in its third week. It also hopped up 38 percent on the Radio charts, totally 56 million impressions.
The formerly incessant No. 1 hit, Pharrell Williams' "Happy" continues its stumble down the charts, as it slips to No. 4. It's followed by a familiar Hot 100 spring 2014 staples: DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" at No. 5, Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" at No. 6, Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" at No. 7 and Justin Timberlake's "Not A Bad Thing" at No. 8.
The bottom two slots of the Hot 100 top 10 contain two new tracks to the peak, though it's from some very familiar faces. Michael Jackson's posthumous collaboration with Justin Timberlake, "Love Never Felt So Good," blasted up 13 spots on the Hot 100, landing at No. 9 for this week. The track breaks all sorts of Billboard records (Jackson has now had a top 10 hit for five decades in a row, for example) thanks to a jump in downloads (110,000), 4.6 million streams and plenty of buzz for "his" holographic Billboard Music Awards performance.
Finally, Coldplay's new EDM-y, Avicci-y single "A Sky Full Of Stars" rounds out the top 10.
