Meghan Trainor 'All About That Bass' Leads Hot 100 Again & Jeremih 'Don't Tell 'Em' Breaks into Top 10

Meghan Trainor is keeping us "All About That Bass." For the third week in a row, the pop newcomer has topped the Billboard Hot 100, continually beating singles from more established artists, such as Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande. Though everything seems all female-y, Jeremih's "Don't Tell 'Em" breaks into the upper part of the charts.

According to Billboard, "All About That Bass" continues its domination in the pop world, as it cracks the No. 1 spot on radio and returns to its peak No. 1 position in streaming. The doo-wop inspired, body positive single was streamed 15.7 million times in the U.S. this week and was heard by 134 million people on the radio. Trainor fell from her No. 1 spot on digital downloads, overtaken by "Shake It Off."

Despite moving 294,000 copies, Swift's pop single "Shake It Off" could not return to its No. 1 peak on the Hot 100 again this week. Swift was bested by Trainor in radio play (128 million audience impressions) and streaming by a long shot (8.4 million plays).

Trainor and Swift lead a lady-dominated top five for the third week in a row, with Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj taking the No. 3 spot with their sizzling collaborative single "Bang Bang." Minaj's own "Anaconda" follows at No. 4 and Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora are boasting their "Black Widow" at No. 5.

Women are actually all over the top 10 this week, taking up eight of the spots on the chart. Grande's "Break Free" rose one spot this week to No. 7. Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" finally broke away from the bottom of the top of the charts, climbing up to No. 8. And there's Sia, still swinging from her "Chandelier" at No. 9.

The only men capable of stopping women on the Hot 100 seem to be Sam Smith and Jeremih. Smith's top 10 mainstay "Stay With Me" held steady at No. 6 this week, and Jeremih's "Don't Tell 'Em" rose to No. 10 this week from No. 12. "Don't Tell 'Em" is Jeremih's first major hit in three years, when"Birthday Sex" reached No. 4. "Don't Tell 'Em" cracked the top 10 thanks to sales of 79,000 and 106 million radio impressions.
