How "Rude!" After seven weeks at No. 1, Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX's inescapable hit "Fancy" has been replaced in the top spot... all it took was a little MAGIC!.
Yes, MAGIC!, the Canadian reggae band led by songwriter Nasri Atweh has landed its first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, beating out the seemingly unstoppable "Fancy."
According to Billboard, MAGIC! pulled off its trick thanks to another week atop the Digital Downloads chart with 185,000 downloads sold, 152 million radio impressions and 8.3 million streams.
"Fancy," which fell to No. 2 this week, bested "Rude" on streams, with 10.6 million plays. However, it couldn't pull off solid enough radio or sales numbers, with a mere 138 million audience impressions and 154,000 downloads sold. (Actually, that's still really quite good...)
Despite the flip-flop at the very peak of the Billboard Hot 100, a large portion of the top 10 remains stagnant this week, in boring yet continual trend story.
Ariana Grande is "Problem" free at No. 3 for a third week. She is followed by the similarly stationary singles Nico & Vinz "Am I Wrong" at No. 4, Sam Smith "Stay With Me" at No. 5 and Jason Derulo "Wiggle" at No. 6.
The bottom of the top 10 sees a little movement this week, with Maroon 5 continuing to find its way up the charts thanks to "Maps." The new single from V sold 105,000 copies and had 65 million audience impressions on radio and landed at No. 8. "Maps" sits right below John Legend's former chart topper "All Of Me," which rose one spot this week to No. 7.
Beneath both those songs a familiar "Summer" anthem sits, with Calvin Harris' latest seasonal hit landing at No. 9 this week, right above the lone new entry in the top 10, Disclosure and Sam Smith's single "Latch" has finally cracked the American top 10 after flourishing abroad.
