After spending 7 weeks fluctuating within the top 10, "The Monster (feat. Rihanna)" bumps 2-1 on the tally. With the move, Rihanna tallies her 5th leader, the most in my chart's history. It is also Eminem's first #1 on the survey (my chart started when Eminem was in a hiatus). It generated lots of Twitter buzz as the video for the song premiered earlier this week.This single just won the "Best Collaboration" award at the CDS Music Chart Awards, while "Berzerk" scooped "Best Rap Recording".
Lady Gaga slides 1-3 with "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)". It previously spent 6 non-consecutive weeks
perched in the top position of the chart. It falls from the peak position due to heavy buzz around the new #1. It could rebound next week, due to the performance on "The Voice" finale receiving lots of buzz. Lady Gaga just won 4 awards at this year's
CDS Music Chart Awards. This effectively ends Lady Gaga's 18 week streak at #1 (with "Venus", "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)" and "Applause").
Pitbull descends with "Timber (feat. Ke$ha)" as it slides 3-4. It had a
particularly strong week (yet again) and benefited heavily from the positive reviews
of its music video, and Pitbull's interviews and promotions. This
easily beats all other Pitbull songs to grace the list as well as the
best charting Ke$ha single. She previously reached as high as #3
with "Die Young" around the same time last year.
OneRepublic holds at #5 with "Counting Stars. It became the group's
first ever top 5 smash. It tallies 83 (-2) spins this week. The outcome
of the song is much better looking than the group's previous charting
single "If I Lose Myself" which peaked at #42 and dropped from the list
just a few weeks after hitting the list. The group just won "Band of the
Year" at this year's CDS Music Chart Awards.
Rihanna bounds 7-6 with "What Now". It became the singer's 11th top 10
single last week. It also helped Rihanna set the record for "Most Top
10s (Non-Consecutive)" since the chart's 2012 launch. She previously
tied Nicki Minaj's 10 top 10 singles when "The Monster" opened in the
top 10. Nicki Minaj held the record for 18 months before returning the
honor to Rihanna (Rihanna had 4 top 10s within the first month of the
chart's inception). Despite this, it is Rihanna's lowest peaking top 10
hit so far.
Avicii slides 6-7 with "Wake Me Up (feat. Aloe Blacc)". It reached the
top 10 in a very long 15 week span. Its most recent position pattern
was 13-12-11-10-8-7-6-7. The song (which started off poorly) has built incredibly and moved up over 30 positions since debuting 17 weeks ago.
Avril Lavigne bounds 9-8 with five time runner up song "Rock N Roll". It
manages to score 75 spins (+8). The song's overall outcome is looking
amazing. To date it has banked over 1000 points and has held very well.
It will easily rank within the top 10 of the year. It will likely reach 2x platinum (1250+) by the end of its run. To date it has spent 21 straight weeks in the
top 10 after a #13 opening. This is approaching the record for "Most
Weeks in the Top 10" which is currently held by 2 different Rihanna
songs.
Lady Gaga's "Venus" slides 8-9. It previously blasted 42-1 and quickly
fell from the top of the chart. It slides to 69 spins this week. This is
an incredible hold for the song which had a huge decline in week 3 and
4. It set multiple records including "Biggest Chart Move, "Biggest Jump
to #1" (up 41 positions), and "Biggest Non-Opening Week Spins" beating
"Applause" (106) and "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)" (126).
Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" reaches the upper tier, moving 11-10. It becomes Katy's 6th top 10 single and 3rd from her new album. "Roar" and "Walking On Air" previously reached #3 and #2 respectively.
Come back in a few minutes for the chart! The 2013 year end rundown starts FRIDAY at Midnight (EST).
