Chart Highlights: Ariana Grande Hits Top 10

Katy Tiz holds at #1 for a third consecutive with newest single "Red Cup". In another extremely competitive week, the single claims the penthouse position, again edging out both Robin Thicke and Kelly Clarkson. It became the singer's first ever #1 after the release of two other singles, "Famous" and "Heart". Total airplay was up over 20% this week.

Robin Thicke holds at #2 with worldwide smash hit "Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. and Pharrell Williams)". It was again edged out of the top position by Katy Tiz. Although gaining a hefty amount in airplay, it was still not able to crown the list.

Kelly Clarkson's second non-consecutive top 5 single, "People Like Us" flies 4-3 in its 23rd 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.

Loreen roars 7-4 with her latest worldwide hit "We Got the Power". It became her fourth non-consecutive top 10 single after "Euphoria" peaked at #1(x3), "My Heart Is Refusing Me" peaked at #1, and "Crying Out Your Name" stopped at #3. Despite being her second lowest peaking single to date, steady increases in overall airplay has proven that the song has an unfully revealed potential.

Emmelie De Forest slides 3-5 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). To date it has spent at least 2 weeks at every position in the top 5.
Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)" slides 5-6 after occupying the top slot for a three consecutive weeks. Macklemore's previous hit "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.

Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" dips 6-7 after spending 4 weeks at #5, and 4 weeks at #1. 13 weeks ago, the single became the 6th #1 debut in our chart's history. To date it has spent 12 weeks in the top 5, and a total of 14 in the top 10.

Mia Martina repeats at #8 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.

Kat DeLuna holds at #9 with "Stars" due to another mild decline in airplay. Despite its continued descend, it manages to stay in the top 10 for an tenth consecutive week. It had a decent run (despite no official release), ultimately peaking at #3.

Rounding out the upper tier, we find Ariana Grande's "The Way (feat. Mac Miller)" bounding 12-10 with its biggest airplay week to date (in its 11th week). Come back saturday for the chart
