Chart Highlights: Emmelie De Forest Takes Charge

Emmelie De Forest jumps 5-1 with Eurovision Favorite/Winner "Only Teardrops". Due to heavy airplay and a load of exposure, it easily crowns the chart. It is just the fourth Eurovision entry to crack the list, and is the second to hit #1 on the tally. Last year's winner (Loreen's "Euphoria") debuted at #1, and became the #15 song of 2012, and the #7 of 2012-2013 (so far).

Holding at #2 for an eighth week is Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)". With this, it ties the record for "Most Weeks at #2", sharing the title with "Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)" by Calvin Harris. It follows Macklemore's  four week #1 hit "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)".

Ellie Goulding dips 1-3 with third top 5 hit "Figure 8", after a two week stay at #1. Two weeks ago it took the record for "Longest Climb to #1 Ever", topping in its 20th week. Her other two top 5 singles both stopped at #4.

NERVO's "Hold On" holds at #4 during its sixth week.

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" dips 3-5, after a four week command. Six weeks ago, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. It stayed relatively the same in airplay (down less than 3% from last week), but was barely edged out by NERVO. To date, it has spent 7 consecutive weeks in the top 5.

Kat DeLuna holds at #6 with "Stars".

Katy Tiz holds at #7 with newest single "Red Cup".

P!nk launches 12-8 with 31 week old "Try". She sets a record for "Longest Time to Reach Peak Position", after easily peaking at #10 in October of last year.

Sharon Doorson slides 8-9 with the #3 peaking "Fail In Love".

Rounding it out, Icona Pop's "I Love It (feat. Charli XCX)" holds at #10 after commanding the list 7 weeks ago.

Come back Friday for the full 50 position chart!
