Chart Highlights: Robin Thicke Enters Top 10, Jessie J Opens High (Lower Than Expected)

Emmelie De Forest holds at #1 for a second week with Eurovision Favorite/Winner "Only Teardrops". Although it manages to stay at #1, it is down significantly in airplay, and was very close to slipping. 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 ninth week is Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)". With this frame, it sets the record for "Most Weeks at #2", advancing over "Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)" by Calvin Harris, which spent 2 complete months stalled in the runner-up position. "Hold Us" follows Macklemore's four week #1 hit "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)".

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" surges 5-3, after dipping 3-5 last week. 7 weeks ago, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. It is up over 15% in total airplay, which fuels its large rise. To date, it has spent 2 consecutive months in the top 5.

Kat DeLuna rises 6-4 with "Stars". The song is her first ever top 5 hit, and the lone new top 5 entry this week.

Ellie Goulding dips 3-5 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.

Katy Tiz rises 7-6 with newest single "Red Cup". It experienced considerable airplay increases in the later part of the week and was featured in a facebook contest, which in the end pushed it up one slot.

NERVO's "Hold On"slides 4-7 during its seventh week.

Robin Thicke continues his fast rise, advancing 13-8 with worldwide smash hit "Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. and Pharrell Williams)". This song spent one day as our top single this week, but still only racked enough points to reach #8 this week.

Kelly Clarkson lands her third nonconsecutive top 10 single, as "People Like Us" moves 11-9 in its 17th week on the chart. It was so close to setting a new record!

2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa open at #10 with "We Own It (Fast and Furious)", despite the fact that it only had two complete days of airplay. (Hot Shot Debut)!

Mia Martina launches at #11 with "La La...", which received only three complete days of airplay. Ms. Martina was recently featured as our "Artist to Watch", so be sure to check her out!

Opening at #12 is Jessie J with "Wild (feat. Big Sean)". Although the original monday morning forecast showed a top 5 opening, the airplay for this track slipped in the later end of the week, causing a  still large yet somewhat disappointing debut. Don't get us wrong (we still love this song).

Lower on the list, Little Mix re-enters with "DNA" (previously peaked at #7).

Other entries include Too Smooth's "Future Dreams", Calvin Harris and Ayah Marar on "Thinking About You", Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" and much more!
