Chart Highlights: Sanna Nielsen Tops, Train and Lily Allen Debut

 
If you're interested in learning about tracks shifting below the top 10, scroll to the bottom where you'll find the Voter's Top 10 (the most voted for tracks by the general public), this week's chart debuts and four genre based charts. Let's dive right into the second week of summer fun.

In a shocking twist, Sanna Nielsen's Eurovison entry, "Undo", elevates 2-1, ending the 6 week reign of Kiesza's "Hideaway" (1-2) and also becoming the 3rd Eurovision entry (from any year) to reach the top slot. Previously, Loreen's "Euphoria" blasted in at #1 (on its way toward a 3 week reign) at the end of May 2012 and Emmelie De Forest's "Only Teardrops entered at #5 before reaching #1 in its sophomore week back in June 2013. It stayed for two weeks. Quite interestingly enough, "Undo" jumps 15 points in airplay to a hefty 119 (+14.42%), which ranks 4th all time, 2nd for a non-opening week total and 1st place for a track not sung by Lady Gaga. Unfortunately for Nielsen, all good news comes with bad news. Maroon 5's latest track, "Maps", should have a large entry on next week's chart, with could severely hurt the chance of "Undo" spending more than 1 week at #1. Maroon 5's track record is among the strongest of any artist; they've debuted in the top 10 a total of 4 times and have had all charted tracks eventually reach the top 5 (including album tracks; a total of 7 consecutive top 5 singles). It does have other benefactors however that could help it land another week atop the list: "Undo" has started to connect with the public audience (it ranks at #16 on the Voter's Choice Top 70), which is a good sign for its future.

Check out every song to pass 100 (101 and over) below. If a track spent over 1 week above 100, only its largest week is listed.

As previously mentioned, Kiesza's "Hideaway" drops 2-1 on the tally after spending a 6th frame at #1 last week. Still, Kiesza holds the second longest running #1 debut (behind the 11 non-consecutive week run of "Applause") as well as the only song to rack 100 points or more for 7 weeks, further extending it's lead (it surpassed "Do What U Want" after its third week past 100). As the track racks up 107 plays (up 2; +1.9%), "Hideaway" holds the #2 spot comfortably, and has a chance at rebounding to #1 sometime in the near future. Currently, "Hideaway" is tied as the #1 song of the summer (with Sanna Nielsen's "Undo") as the annual competition enters its second week.

In 3rd place this week, Coldplay's "A Sly Full of Stars" holds at #3 for a third week. Though it never reached the summit of the CDS Music Chart Hot 50 (it peaked at #2 for 3 weeks), "Stars" has continually reached past the 100 spins mark (clocking in at 104 this week; +2.9% from last week). With that holding strength, "Stars" will likely become a monster success for Coldplay this year. As the 3rd annual summer songs completion enters its third frame, Coldplay occupies two top 5 slots for the season so far. That achievement makes them the largest point scoring band of the season (so far).

Iggy Azalea's "Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)" pounces 6-4 as it elevates to 99 spins this week (+6.45%). As the track enters the top 10 for the first time, Iggy Azalea becomes just the 2nd female rapper to collect a top 5 single, while featured artist, Charli XCX, collects her 2nd top single. In the process, Charli XCX becomes the first act to reach the top 5 on multiple occasions only as a featured artist. Despite its 8-17 drop on the Voter's Top Singles Chart, "Fancy" remains strong thanks to a large amount of plays received through official radio stations. What else is helping it? It's ranked #1 on all the major charts within the United States (#1 US Billboard Hot 100, #1 Radio, #1 Streaming, #1 Rap, etc.).

Following the massive success of their two week #1 single, "Counting Stars", OneRepublic had to step up their came to harness a hit of the same magnitude. Luckily, they came across the long shelved/unfinished "Love Runs Out". After fixing up the chorus and several stand out lines, "Love Runs Out" was born. OneRepublic's attempt at servicing radio and the public with a worthy new jam succeeded. "Runs" holds at #5 for a 3rd consecutive week, tallying a 7th week within the top 10. Hopefully the track will be able to match the success of 24 week top 10 single, "Counting Stars". I'm "counting" on it to.

Nicki Minaj's "Pills N Potions" moves 7-6 on the CDS Music Chart Hot 50 aided by it's strong hold on the Voter's Top 70 (2-1 gain for a third non-consecutive week at the summit). That position gives it an extra 10  point bonus on top of it's large growth. Without the 9 point bonus, the track might have been stuck at it's #7 peak position. Starting on Monday (June 16th), you can vote for "Pills N Potions" as your favorite track of the week. If it lands within the top 10 at the end of next week, the track will get bonus points which should help it elevate up the chart.

Clean Bandit's "Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne)" edges 8-7, hitting a new peak in its 19th week on the chart. It previously tallied two weeks at #9 toward the start of its run and a total of five non-consecutive weeks at #10 (a record tying total). Katy Perry's "Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J)" first strung together 5 non-consecutive weeks at #10 between December 2013 and February 2014. Given the track's impressively strong track record, "Rather Be" will likely close past 900 points (it passes 690 points this week).

Coldplay's "Magic" drops 4-8 on the tally this week. It previously held its #4 peak position for two consecutive weeks, becoming the British band's second consecutive top 5 hit single. Follow up release, "A Sky Full of Stars" peaked at #2 while promotional release "Midnight" enters the top 40 on this week's chart.

Vita Chambers returns to the CDS Music Chart Hot 50's top 10 for the first time since the fall of 2013 (when "What If?" debuted at #7 and eventually reached #3) as "A+D" elevates 12-9. With the move, Vita Chambers reclaims her title as the first solo artist to reach the top 10 with all charting singles (multiple); "A+D" marks her 4th top 10 hit. Only one other act (Maroon 5) has reached the top 10 with all charting singles, tallying 7 within the region across 2012 and early 2013. While "A+D" was the only Vita Chambers song to not debut within the top 10, the track has made up for it and become the young Canadian artist's 4th straight top 10 hit (as previously announced) following "Fix You", "Masquerade" and "What If?" which debuted at numbers 10, 9 and 7 before peaking at numbers 1, 2 and 3.

Rounding out the upper tier, Shakira's "Dare (La La La)" flies 13-10 to become her 3rd straight top 10 single. With the move, Shakira becomes the second solo artist to reach the top 10 with all charting singles (multiple). The track moves courtesy of nice boost from ads during the 2014 FIFA World Cup games in Brazil, which have been the main source of its 17 point boost from last week's total (though its move from 5-2 on the Voter's Top Singles Chart does help it score 3 bonus points). The track follows the #1 peaking "Empire" and the #3 peaking "Can't Remember to Forget You (feat. Rihanna).

Notably, Train returns to the Hot 50 for the first time since 2012 with "Angel In Blue Jeans". As the track enters the list in its debut frame, it becomes the California band's second entry. Previously, their 2012 single "Drive By" held the top slot for a single week in early 2012.

Though it was just released on Thursday, Lily Allen's 2014 FIFA World Cup anthem "Bass Like Home" enters the Hot 50 as the British singer's 2nd charting single. Previously, her 2013 release "Hard Out Here" managed to peak at #24.
