Chart Highlights: Avril Lavigne "Rocks" the Top 10

Robin Thicke holds at #1 with "Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. and Pharrell Williams)". After last week's airplay dip, the song has rebounded. Last week, the song became one of few #1's to ascend to the penthouse with a airplay decrease.


Macklemore & Ryan Lewis holds at #2 with "Same Love (feat. Mary Lambert)" after it skyr skyrockets 10-2 as the charts biggest airplay gainer for a second consecutive week. Their previous two singles hit the top spot. If this song can reach the penthouse, there is a possibility that it could complete the longest trek to the top and it will put Macklemore & Ryan Lewis within reach of the "Most #1 Singles" honor which is held by Rihanna & Nicki Minaj (4 each). Close behind is Maroon 5 with 3 #1's.

Katy Tiz dives 1-3 after four consecutive weeks at #1 with newest single "Red Cup". Before ending its run, Katy Tiz joined Vita Chambers, Macklemore/Ryan Lewis and Swedish House Mafia in a four-way tie for the longest #1 reign of 2013. Swedish House Mafia actually landed 8 weeks at #1 but wrapped its run with only four weeks in 2013.

The rest of the top 5 also remains the same as last week.

Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" holds at #4 in its 26th 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". It set the record for "Longest Rise to the Top 5" reaching the landmark in 22 weeks. This record was previously held by "How to Be a Heartbreaker", which ultimately stopped at #5 during it's 21st week on the chart.

Mia Martina stalls at #5 with "La La..." after being stuck in the #11 position for four consecutive weeks. The song was able to crack the top 10 due to its official release on iTunes and other digital media sites.

Avril Lavigne 'rock'ets into the top 10, blasting 13-6 with her second single "Rock n Roll". It takes the Greatest Gainer ribbon this week, and becomes Avril's second top 10 hit after 4 week front runner "Here's to Never Growing Up" debuted at #1 in April of this year.

Loreen tumbles 6-7 with her latest worldwide hit "We Got the Power". It ultimately peaked at #4, and becomes her second lowest peaking single to date.

"Radioactive" by the Imagine Dragons jumps 10-8. Up over 15% in airplay, the song yet again helps the Imagine Dragons earn their best airplay week ever.

Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)" dips 7-9. It previously peaked in the top slot for a three consecutive weeks, narrowly missing the same amount of weeks that Macklemore's previous hit "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)" ruled for (4). 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.

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" slides 9-10 after spending 4 weeks at #5, and 4 weeks at #1. 15 weeks ago, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. To date it has spent 12weeks in the top 5, and a total of 16 in the top 10.
