Taylor Swift "Blank Space" Crowns Hot 100: Selena Gomez "The Heart Wants What It Wants" & Mark Ronson "Uptown Funk" Crack Top 10

Be assured, there is no "Blank Space" available at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. For the third week in a row, Taylor Swift's new single from 1989 tops the charts. While she sits snuggly atop the U.S. music radar, two new songs have cracked the top 10, with Selena Gomez's "The Heart Wants What It Wants" and Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" (feat. Bruno Mars) vaulting up the charts.

Thanks to a high profile performance at the American Music Awards and, of course, her own superstardom and dedicated Swifties, Swift holds tight to the No. 1 spot in the country with "Blank Space," according to Billboard. "Blank Space" does so thanks to 324,000 digital downloads and a No. 1 spot on the Streaming Songs chart (from YouTube, of course).

The top three songs in the country remain the same this week, with Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" at No. 2 and Hozier's "Take Me To Church" steady at No. 3. Even the top five as a whole is familiar, with Swift's "Shake It Off" and Maroon 5's "Animals" swapping spots and landing, respectively, at Nos. 4 and 5.

The first of two new songs in the Hot 100's top 10 goes to Selena Gomez, whose Justin Bieber-inspired For You single "The Heart Wants What It Wants" jumped up 14 spots to No. 6. Gomez's major bump is due in part to her emotional performance at the AMAs, where she teared up whilst singing the heartbreaking anthem. This helped to launch Gomez onto both the Streaming Songs and Digital Downloads chart, where she clocks in at No. 5 in both regards.

The other new song in the top 10, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars's "Uptown Funk" hopped up 10 spots to land at No. 8. Thanks to a fresh Saturday Night Live performance and a new music video, the funky throwback hit sold 167,000 copies and had a 77 percent jump in streams.

Between the two new singles, Sam Smith's latest In The Lonely Hour single "I'm Not The Only One" holds steady at No. 7.

Two familiar singles to the top 10, Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" and Ariana Grande's "Love Me Harder" (feat. The Weeknd) round things out at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.

Meaning that Nick Jonas's "Jealous" and Ed Sheeran's "Don't" have slipped from the top 10.
