Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS OF THE WEEK: Bruno Mars completed his ascension to #1 with the fittingly titled “Locked Out of Heaven,” supplanting will.i.am and Britney Spears’ “Scream & Shout,” which slipped to #3 behind Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” which grew by 17% over last week. But look who’s occupying the #4 slot—why it’s them indie upstarts The Lumineers, as “Ho Hey” continues to beguile the mainstream audience and win over new fans, with a 3% week-to-week increase. And Taylor Swift is back with yet another track from Red, which increasingly has the feel of a greatest hits album. The other newcomer is the odd couple of the Biebs and Nicki Minaj.

1. Bruno Mars, “Locked Out of Heaven” – 197k
2. Rihanna, “Diamonds” – 143.1k
3. will.i.am f/Britney Spears, “Scream & Shout” – 142k
