Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS: Major shake-up on the leaderboard, as Katy Perry, Gaga and Luke Bryan hit it like a barrage of boulders, scattering longtime Top 10 occupants all over the place. But Robin Thicke not only survived, he managed to hang tough at #2 in an estrogen-testosterone faceoff, besting his debuting labelmate by a good seven inches. Also feeling rather good about themselves are Avicii (+22%), Lana Del Rey (+15%), Jay Z and JT (+7%) and Lorde, who completes her rapid rise to the big show with a robust 39% uptick.

1. Katy Perry, “Roar” – 557k
2. Robin Thicke, “Blurred Lines” – 291k
3. Lady Gaga, “Applause” – 218k
4. Jay Z f/Justin Timberlake, “Holy Grail” – 178k
5. Luke Bryan, “That's My Kind of Night” – 164k
6. Miley Cyrus, “We Can’t Stop” – 148k
7. Avicii, “Wake Me Up” – 138k

Bumped off the board were Drake f/Majid Jordan in a typical week-two dip, Anna Kendrick, (#5-13), Daft Punk f/Pharrell (#7-17) and Capital Cities (#10-14). Man, this is like playing pinball game on UMGD’s highest-grade hashish. (8/22a)
