It looks like it's going to be a "Fancy" summer. And, no, not the kind that requires a tie or heels with your swimsuit... it's the kind of "Fancy" only Iggy Azalea and Chali XCX can supply. For the third week in a row, the sassy hip-hop single is sitting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as newcomer Sam Smith rises near the top with "Stay With Me."
Yes, it's week three atop the charts for "Fancy," with Azalea and XCX holding the No. 1 spot, despite minor slips in both song sales and streams. According to Billboard, however, "Fancy" still managed to top digital sales and streams, moving 263,000 copies over the past seven days and streaming 12.5 million times. With the song also having a marked rise in radio play (136 million impressions), the No. 1 spot was a sure thing for Azalea and XCX.
The top four songs in the United States remain stagnant this week, with Ariana Grande and Azalea's "Problem" sticking at No. 2, John Legend's "All Of Me" holding all of itself at No. 3 and DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" turning another week at No. 5.
And along comes Jason Derulo to shake up the charts, even if just a little bit. After cracking the top 10 earlier this year with "Talk Dirty," he's risen five spots this week to peak at No. 5 with his new Snoop Dogg assisted single "Wiggle," the ode to the buttocks.
"Wiggle" was helped to its peak thanks to a massive rise in streaming thanks to its May 21 music video. This week, "Wiggle" was streamed 8.7 million times. The track also sold 146,000 copies and had 36 million impressions on the radio.
Pharrell Williams keeps "Happy" in the top 10, though this week the former constant No. 1 single fell another spot to No. 6, hanging just above MAGIC! and its debut single "Rude."
The reggae-infused pop single via Canada rose one spot, nestled politely at the No. 7 spot. MAGIC!'s rise on the charts comes courtesy of a 15 percent rise in sales (162,000 copies), 4.9 million streams and 69 million radio impressions.
Though Derulo and MAGIC! launched up the charts, that means at least one artist has to fall down, and that goes to Nico & Vinz, whose single "Am I Wrong" slipped two spots this week, landing at a still respectable No. 8.
Meanwhile, Calvin Harris holds his No. 9 spot with the fittingly titled "Summer."
As mentioned, Sam Smith had his first crack in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, with his heartfelt single "Star With Me." Though peaking at No. 10 this week, Smith actually outsold MAGIC!, moving 167,000 digital copes of "Stay With Me." The track couldn't keep up on radio or streams, with a still-impressed 54 million audience impressions and 2 million streams.
With the rising of "Stay With Me," Katy Perry has fallen off her "Dark Horse," as the Prism single falls to No. 11 this week.
