Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS: Look who’s back on top. I.B. Bad describes Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” (Epic) as a rocketship in his latest column, and it isn’t every day that a record from an artist nobody had heard of a few months ago possesses the commercial potency to blaze past a shiny new smash from Big Machine’s Taylor Swift. Will Trainor stay in 300k+ territory or get even bigger in the weeks to come? We’ll see, but don’t be surprised if this record exhibits sustained heat and uncommon staying power. The only other big-board occupant in positive territory was Magic!’s “Rude” (RCA), the summery record that refuses to wilt, reentering the Top 10 on a 21% uptick after dropping to #17 a week earlier.

1. Meghan Trainor, “All About That Bass” – 312k
2. Taylor Swift, “Shake It Off” – 281k
3. Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj, “Bang Bang” – 170k
4. Iggy Azalea f/Rita Ora, “Black Widow” – 143k
5. Nicki Minaj, “Anaconda” – 130k
6. Ariana Grande f/Zedd, “Break Free” – 95k
7. Sam Smith, “Stay With Me” – 84k
8. Clean Bandit f/Jess Glynne, “Clean Bandit” – 82k
9. Magic!, “Rude” – 81k
10. Sia, “Chandelier” – 79k

“Don’t Tell ’Em” from Def Jam’s Jeremih f/YG continues to inch up (#14-12, 72k, +2%), but the biggest upward mover was Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” (Island), which went #22-15 behind a 15% increase to 70k, giving the Republic family of labels five of the Top 15. (9/11p)
