Chart Highlights: Nico & Vinz Catapult To Top 10


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.

Sanna Nielsen's "Undo" leads the CDS Music Chart Hot 50 for a 3rd consecutive frame, which ties Loreen's "Euphoria" as the longest reigning #1 hit from any edition of the Eurovision Song Contest (coincidentally, both female artists represented Sweden in the annual competition). This week, "Undo" jumps 8 points in airplay to a massive 137 (+6.20%), which ranks 3rd all time1st for a non-opening week total and 1st place for a track not sung by Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga's "Venus" falls to second for biggest non-opening week total, and 4th all time. It scored 135 points during its biggest point moving week. With the hold at #1, "Undo" widens its lead over Kiesza's "Hideaway" in terms of overall points in the 2014 Summer Songs competition. As of the fourth week of summer tracking, "Undo" currently leads the season off with 199 points (Kiesza's "Hideaway" shifts to 197 points, widening the gap to 2 points).

"Undo" commands the top of the Pop Songs genre chart for a 5th consecutive week, while holding at its #1 highpoint on Dance Songs for a 3rd consecutive week. With the release of parent album 7 in the upcoming frame, Nielsen has a strong chance of commanding the overall Hot 50 for a 4th consecutive week, though Kiesza's "Hideaway" and Maroon 5's "Maps" have a chance at surpassing it. Though highly unlikely, Ariana Grande's upcoming release, "Break Free (feat. Zedd)", has a chance of opening as a major competitor, though it'll be tough for the track to 'break' into the upper region upon release, given that it doesn't officially debut until mid week.

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. NOTE: This is the first week in history to have all tracks in the top 10 tally final point scores above 101.

In a strong second place, Kiesza's "Hideaway" added 8 points for a frame totaling 129 points (+6.61%). With this week's hold, Kiesza marks a 3rd consecutive week in the runner up position and a 9th in the top 5. She previously ranked at #1 for 6 consecutive weeks before being knocked off the top slot by the current chart leader (Sanna Nielsen's "Undo"). 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 9 weeks, further extending its record lead (it surpassed "Do What U Want" after its third week past 100). For the second straight week, Kiesza barely lands in the #2 position, facing strong competition from Maroon 5's "Maps" (which debuted at #3 last week).  Currently, "Hideaway" is ranked as the #2 song of the summer (widening its gap) as the annual competition enters its fourth week.

Maroon 5's "Maps" (lead single from their forthcoming album V) holds at its #3 peak position for a second straight week. Coming off a huge 118 point debut last week, it looked like "Maps" would fall approximately 5% in overall points. Surprisingly, it recaptured most of those points thanks to its 16-7 rise on the Voter's Hot 100 and tallies 125 points this week, up nearly 6%. It currently lags behind its most comparable title (Maroon 5's own "Payphone") through the same point in terms of chart points, though it has had a significantly larger amount of frame points* in the comparison frames. Their previous 7 tops are as follows: the #1 peaking "Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)", the #1 peaking "One More Night", the #1 peaking "Love Somebody", the #3 peaking "Lucky Strike", the #5 peaking "Doin' Dirt", the #5 peaking "Daylight" and the #5 peaking "Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)".

*Frame points help determine a song's position (more equals higher position; can be infinitely high), while chart points are awarded based on ranking. The #1 track gets 50 chart points even if it needed 120 frame points to get there. In other words, frame points aren't worth anything except distinguishing rank, and there is no bonus to scoring more other than recognition.

Clean Bandit's "Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne)" holds at its #4 peak for a second consecutive week in its 20th 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 (and massive increase this week), "Rather Be" will likely close past 1000 chart points (it passes 780 points this week), which would rank as one of the year's biggest hits.

Shakira's "Dare (La La La)" holds at #5 for a second consecutive week, with a massive gain in frame points (109 to 119; +9.17%).  The track moves courtesy of nice boost from ads during the 2014 FIFA World Cup games in Brazil, which are the main source of its 10 point boost from last week's total, as well as its strong strides on the Voter's Top 100. The track holds at #2 on the Voter's list. It previously peaked at #1 for a single week. The track follows the #1 peaking "Empire" and the #3 peaking "Can't Remember to Forget You (feat. Rihanna) on the CDS Music Chart Hot 50.

Iggy Azalea's "Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)" holds at #6, despite pushing past 100 frame points for the third time (115; +7.48%). Additionally, it makes noticeable strides on Radio and Streaming components. It leads Hip-Hop/Rap Songs for a 8th straight week, and holds at #8 on the Voter's Top 100 (marking its 6th top 10 appearance on the latter chart). It should be on pace for an 9th week at #1 on Hip-Hop/Rap Songs, given the fact that its biggest competitor (Nicki Minaj's "Pills N Potions") dives 11-15 this week.

Kiesza's "Giant In My Heart" moves 8-7 in its second week on the CDS Music Chart Hot, increasing from 100 frame points (from last week) to 112 points this week (+12%). At this point, "Giant In My Heart" has a decent chance at reaching the #1 position. If it does end up reaching the chart's summit, it will mark Kiesza's second #1 single after her debut "Hideaway", which held the top slot for a long 6 weeks.

Vita Chamber's 4th consecutive top 10 single, "A+D", slides 7-8 on this week's chart. With this frame, it spends a second week past 100 points and a 3rd overall week in the top 10. It should hold up well throughout the rest of July (mainly because the track's official video counterpart debuts on July 7th). 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.

Ariana Grande's "Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea)" advances 12-9 while racking up 105 points for the first time. With the advance, Ariana nets her second straight top 10 single (after 2013's "The Way") and Iggy Azalea scoops her second straight top 10 single (after her #4 peaking "Fancy"). Additionally, Ariana equals her highest peak (#9), which first came when 2013's "The Way (feat. Mac Miller)" reached #9 back in a nearly identical week.

Finally, Nico & Vinz round out the top 10 by catapulting 21-10 with their debut single "Am I Wrong". The track is fueled by large gain at radio, streaming and voting components. It scoops the Airplay Gainer tag for the 2nd time in the past 4 weeks, noting that it still has quite a bit of fuel left in it.
