Chart Highlights: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Reach #1 After 9 Weeks At #2

Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)" moves 2-1 to occupy the top slot. With this frame, Macklemore becomes the first rapper to send two songs to the throne, after "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)" ruled for 4 weeks. Before reaching the top position, the song set the record for "Most Weeks at #2", advancing over "Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)" by Calvin Harris, which spent 8 consecutive weeks stalled in the runner-up position.

Emmelie De Forest slides 1-2 with "Only Teardrops", after two weeks atop the tally. 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).

Kat DeLuna rises 4-3 with "Stars". The song is her first ever top 5 hit, and has been in direct competition with "Red Cup" since its debut.

Katy Tiz rises 6-4 with newest single "Red Cup". It experienced considerable airplay increases in the week and is edging back at "Stars", which started lower than it, but has had slightly better positioning overall.

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" dips 3-5, after surging 5-3 last week. 8 weeks ago, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. To date it has spent 9 weeks in the top 5.

Robin Thicke continues his fast rise, advancing 8-6 with worldwide smash hit "Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. and Pharrell Williams)". This song spent two days as our #2 single this week, but still only racked enough points to reach #6 this week.

Ellie Goulding dips 5-7 with third top 5 hit "Figure 8", after a two week stay at #1. Three 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.

Kelly Clarkson's third nonconsecutive top 10 single, "People Like Us" moves 9-8 in its 18th week on the chart. Clarkson previously landed at #1 for a single week with "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", and #8 with follow up single "Dark Side".

Sharon Doorson arrives at a career best #9 with her new single "Killer". It had a monster first week, and was additionally fueled by the release of Doorson's debut album also titled "Killer".

Speaking of Sharon Doorson, she rebounds 14-10 with debut hit single "Fail In Love". It previously peaked at #3 for 1 week.

Mia Martina holds at #11 with "La La..."

 Lower on the chart, the Imagine Dragons debut with "Radioactive", Selena Gomez debuts with both "Come & Get It" and "Slow Down", and Wale debuts with "Bad (feat. Rihanna) [Remix]".
