Chart Highlights: Avril Stays At Atop, Ellie Goulding Gains

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" continues its command at #1, by staying for a second consecutive week. Last week, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. It significantly gains in airplay, unlike most powerhouse debuts do in their sophomore weeks.

Holding at #2 (for a third week) is Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)". The song should easily top the tally as did its predecessor, but Avril's hit has been very unpredictable.

Sharon Doorson rises 4-3 with hit single "Fail In Love".

Icona Pop's "I Love It (feat. Charli XCX)" dips 3-4 after commending the list two weeks ago. The song  has had one of the quickest tumbles in chart history, as it has reached the top 10, peaked at #1, and is already heading down the list in just a 9 week lifespan.

Rihanna races 10-5 with Hip Hop/ R&B track "Pour It Up". The single becomes her ninth top 5 hit.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also claim the #6 position with four week #1 runner "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)". The single descends 5-6.

Cascada dips 6-7 with Eurovision entry "Glorious".

Vita Chambers dips 7-8 with debut hit "Fix You". As of this week, the single has spent 19 consecutive weeks in the chart's top 10. This is just 3 weeks from tying the current record set by Rihanna's "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix)", and 4 from breaking it.

Ellie Goulding lands her third top 10 hit with "Figure 8" as it ascends 11-9. She congruently rises with her other charting titles "I Need Your Love" and "Anything Could Happen", and is the biggest point gaining artist this week.

After netting the group its 7th consecutive top 5 hit, Maroon 5's "Daylight" drops 9-10 to round out the upper tier. It followed the group's "Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)" which peaked at #5, "Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)" which peaked at #1(x4), "One More Night"which  peaked at #1, "Love Somebody" which peaked at #1, "Lucky Strike" which peaked at #3, and "Doin' Dirt"which peaked at #5.

Below the top 10, Nervo's "Hold On" leads the band of debuts with the highest entry.

Come back Saturday for the official chart!
