Chart Highlights: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Rule, Icona Pop Jumps

After spending six weeks in the runner up position, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis took the Hot 50 Crown with "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)" last week. This week, it remains on top of the list although dipping slightly.

Icona Pop zooms 6-2 with "I Love It (feat. Charlie XCX)". If the duo can score a #1 with this song, the track will be the 4th Swedish song to crown the chart and Icona Pop will become the 4th Swedish act to claim their debut single a #1 after Loreen, John Martin and Swedish House Mafia.

Vita Chambers falls 2-3 with four week ruler and debut single "Fix You".

Loreen dips 3-4 with "Crying Out Your Name" despite a play increase. If the single can nab #1, Loreen would become just the 4th artist/group to collect at least three #1's after Maroon 5 (3 consecutive), Rihanna (4 non-consecutive), and Nicki Minaj (4 non-consecutive).

Rihanna dips 4-5 with "Stay (Shahaf Moran Remix)" despite a mild rises. The single could mark a historic point in her chart history if it reaches #1. If it does, Rihanna would become the first artist to post 5 different #1's after "We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)", "Take Care (feat. Rihanna)", "Where Have You Been", and "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix)".

After hitting a new high last week, Maroon 5's "Doin' Dirt" drops 5-6 in its 18th week. It becomes the group's 6th consecutive top 5 hit after "Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)" peaked at #5, "Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)" peaked at #1(x4), "One More Night" peaked at #1, "Love Somebody" peaked at #1, and "Lucky Strike" peaked at #3.

Taylor Swift rises 8-7 with "I Knew You Were Trouble" during the song's 17th week. After four albums, and 24 single releases she nets her first top 10 hit on her 25th try.

Marina & the Diamonds dips 7-8 with "How to Be a Heartbreaker" during its 23rd week.

Olly Murs rises 10-9 with "Troublemaker (feat. Flo Rida)" after peaking at #3 a few weeks ago.

To round it out, Swedish House Mafia moves down 9-10 with former eight week champion "Don't You Worry Child (feat. John Martin) [Radio Edit]".
