Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS: The upper reaches of the weekly sales chart resemble an inversion layer over the L.A. Basin, with little movement or relief. The Top 5 was unchanged and down with the exception of DJ Snake & Lil Jon, who were up a relatively robust 10%, giving Columbia another Top 5 trifecta. The label had further cause for celebration in that longtime chart-topper Pharrell managed to stay north of 200k. In the most positive move, red-hot Iggy Azalea replaced Lana Del Rey, last week’s Top 10 debut, at #6 behind a 29% gain. Otherwise, Luke Bryan and Justin Timberlake managed to move up in the standings even while being slightly off in sales—it was that kind of week.

1. Pharrell Williams, “Happy” – 208k
2. John Legend, “All of Me” – 187k
3. Jason Derulo f/2 Chainz, “Talk Dirty” – 145k
4. Idina Menzel, “Let It Go” – 133k
5. DJ Snake & Lil Jon, “Turn Down for What” – 131k
6. Iggy Azalea f/Charlie XCX, “Fancy” – 108k
7. Katy Perry f/Juicy J, “Dark Horse” – 104k
8. Luke Bryan, “Play It Again” – 96k
9. Justin Timberlake, “Not a Bad Thing” – 87k
10. Ed Sheeran, “Sing” – 80k

By contrast, the real estate just below the leaderboard is full of promise, with releatively recent releases from Coldplay, MKTO, Naughty Boy f/Sam Smith, Pitbull f/G.R.L., Nico & Vinz, Sam Smith himself, Rixton, Calvin Harris, Disclosure f/Sam Latch and 5 Seconds of Summer all shaping up as prospective hits. Gratifyingly, the majority of the above-mentioned acts are featured in our New & Developing Artists Q2 special issue, out now. (5/1a)
