Oh, ho, ho it's MAGIC! You know, for the third week in a row, the Canadian reggae-pop band is getting "Rude" atop the Billboard Hot 100.
Yes, it's the summer of reggae, as MAGIC! leads the U.S. pop charts yet again. According to Billboard, "Rude" clocks a third week at No. 1, thanks to one-demand streaming songs from subscription users, and honestly, lukewarm numbers for other top 10 hits. MAGIC! stumbled to No. 2 on the Digital Songs chart, selling 154,000 units and losing out to Jason Aldean (who sits outside the top 10 with "Burnin' It Down"). On the radio, MAGIC! is greeted kindly, with 164 million audience impressions.
For the third week in a row, Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX stay put at the No. 2 position. After leading the charts for seven weeks, "Fancy" is sitting comfy in the runner's up spot, thanks to 10.1 million streams (and a No. 1 spot on the Streaming Songs chart), 123,000 digital downloads and 117 million radio audience impressions.
The top three spots on the chart this week remain stagnant from last week, with Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" sticking around the No. 3 spot, thanks to 152 million audience impressions, 144,000 downloads and 6.3 million streams.
It's the year of the heartfelt ballad, with John Legend's "All of Me" previously leading the Hot 100 for three weeks. This week, Legend continues his descent down the chart with a No. 8 ranking.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves...
Nico & Vinz: Problem
Meanwhile, Maroon 5 keeps finding its way up the chart with its "Maps," with a new No. 6 peak, thanks largely to 76 million audience impressions on radio. The band sits above Smith again with Disclosure. Their collaborative single "Latch" continues its U.S. quest for domination with a new No. 7 peak, rising from No. 9 last week.
Beneath the previously mentioned "All Of Me" is the lone Hot 100 top 10 debut: Sia's "Chandelier." The best pop song of the year finally cracked the Billboard charts, reaching No. 9. Though the singer/songwriter has appeared in the top 10 of the Hot 100 before with David Guetta ("Titanium") and Flo Rida ("Wild Ones"), this is her first solo chart-topping single.
Oh, and she did it all without showing her face on television, instead depending on interpretive dances from the likes of Lena Dunham and Maddie Zeigler.
Beneath Sia's accomplishment, Calvin Harris holds at No. 10 with his seasonally titled single "Summer."
The rise of Sia means that Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg now have to "Wiggle" outside the top of the charts.
