Taylor Swift 'Shake It Off' Tops Hot 100 Again, as Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj 'Bang Bang' Vaults Up the Charts

Taylor Swift: Shake It Off

"Shake It Off" leads the Billboard Hot 100 for the second week since its debut on the chart, according to Billboard.

Despite a sales decline of 35 percent, Swift still has the top-selling digital song in the country, moving 355,000 units. A massive sales slide was expected, of course, with Swift having the fourth-ever best sales frame last week by moving 544,000 copies of "Shake It Off."

Despite a sales slip and a decline in streaming, Swift did gain on radio, thanks to 88 million audience impressions and a No. 7 spot on the Radio Songs chart.

Though Nicki Minaj charged into the Billboard top 10 last week with her "Anaconda," thanks to the super sexy, NSFW music video, the rapper falls one spot this week, swapping places with the bubbly, body positive debut single from Meghan Trainor, "All About That Bass."

Trainor plays second fiddle to Swift on digital downloads, moving 266,000 copies of "All About That Bass," and she takes Swift's former spot of No. 9 on Radio songs (82 million audience impressions).

Despite falling one spot, Minaj's "Anaconda" jumped up on the digital downloads chart with 188,000 downloads and she maintains the No. 1 spot on Streaming Songs.

Streaming and the 2014 MTV VMAs helped another song on the Hot 100 this week, as Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's "Bang Bang" leaps up five spots on the chart, with 11 million streams of its music video. The song has yet to really resonate on radio, however, with just 53 million audience impressions and a No. 19 spot on the Radio Songs chart.

As "Bang Bang" vaults into the top five, Sam Smith's former No. 2 single "Stay With Me" slipped to No. 5. The old chart favorite sits above two stagnant tracks, Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's "Black Widow" at No. 6 and Grande's "Break Free" at No. 7.

Those all rise about the MAGIC! As summer ends, so does the reign of the summer hit, with the Canadian reggae band's debut single "Rude" continuing its descent from the top of the charts, landing at No. 8 this week.

Two catchy pop tunes, Sia's "Chandelier" and Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" round out the top 10, at Nos. 9 and 10. As XCX returns to the top of the charts after two weeks in the teens, she knocks out Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong."
