2014 is turning out to have quite the "Fancy" summer. For the fifth week in a row, Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX's minimalist, sassy hit has topped the Billboard Hot 100.
The top three songs in the country remain stuck in place this week, with Azalea and co. leading the pack. "Fancy" leads the pack thanks to massive radio play (No. 1, 150 million audience impressions), consistent streaming (No. 1, 11.6 million streams) and solid sales (No. 2, 195,000 downloads), according to Billboard.
Azalea leads... herself this week on the chart, as she's featured on the No. 2 single "Problem" by Ariana Grande. "Problem" holds the No. 2 spot for a fifth week by marking strides with radio play (No. 2, 142 million audience impressions) despite slipping digital sales (No. 3, 162,000 downloads) and streaming (No. 2, 9.4 million).
And just like last week, Canadian reggae troupe MAGIC! clock in at No. 3, thanks to its No. 1 spot on the Digital Downloads chart and sales of 210,000 copies.
Despite a stagnant top three and no new entries at the very peak of the chart, the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 saw two new entries: Nico & Vinz's steamy hit "Am I Wrong" catapulted up three spots, landing at No. 4 this week, followed by the heartbreaking Sam Smith anthem "Stay With Me," which jumped five spots to its No. 5 peak.
Familiar fare in largely familiar positions make up the rest of the Hot 100's top 10. Jason Derulo's ode to the butt "Wiggle" fell one spot to land at No. 6. The Snoop Dogg-featuring jam is followed by John Legend's "All Of Me" at No. 7, Calvin Harris' "Summer" at No. 8 (a new peak) and DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" at No. 9.
Pharrell Williams, who grew very comfortable in the Hot 100 with "Happy" earlier this year, finds his same peppy hit nearly out of the top 10 for the first time in months, as the Despicable Me 2 track slips two spots to No. 10.
The highest debut this week? Goes to Maroon 5's newest search for love, "Maps," which debuted at No. 14. The lead single from the band's forthcoming album V dropped last week.
