Taylor Swift "Shake it Off" Owns Hot 100 for the Fourth Week as Hozier "Take Me To Church" and Meghan Trainor "Lips Are Movin" Make Gains

"Blank Space" tops the chart yet again, thanks to strong single sales (254,000 copies) and a No. 2 spot on the Radio Songs chart, Billboard reports. "Blank Space" is the second single from Swift's new album 1989 to reach No. 1 status - the album's lead track "Shake It Off" also topped the charts for four weeks.

Beneath the seemingly unstoppable Swift - who also crowned the Billboard 200 - Hozier's haunting anthem "Take Me To Church" finally eclipsed Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass," as the two songs swap spots, rising Hozier to No. 2 and displacing "All About That Bass" from the top 2 for the first time in 15 weeks.

Despite her falling status with "All About That Bass," Trainor has little to worry about this week. Her second single from her upcoming album Title, "Lips Are Movin'" arrives in the top 10 this week at No. 8.

In the midst of Trainor tracks, however, there was some major chart movements in the top 10. Maroon 5's latest V single "Animals" reclaimed its No. 4 position this week, as Swift's "Shake It Off" fell three spots to No. 6.

Nestled comfortably between Maroon 5 and Swift, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars's throwback collaboration "Uptown Funk" arrived in the top 5 at No. 5, thanks to major rises in radio play (37 million audience impressions) and a jump in streams (8.2 million).

To round out the top 10, Sam Smith's "I'm Not The Only One" maintains at No. 7, Nick Jonas's "Jealous" re-entered the chart at No. 9 and Ariana Grande's collaboration with The Weeknd, "Love Me Harder," rounds things out at No. 10.
