Chart Highlights: Loreen Crowns, Rihanna Nets, and Bruno Enters

This week lots of crazy things happened, including Loreen rising to #1 for the second time this year.

As Loreen moves 2-1 to take over the penthouse, she becomes the first Swedish artist to crown the chart two times with both "Euphoria" (led for 3 weeks), and "My Heart Is Refusing Me" (leading its first week).

Taking the #2 slot is Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child (feat. John Martin)". The legendary track finishes barely under Loreen, and barely over Rihanna's seven week leader "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix)".

Rihanna's monster #1 moves down to its lowest point in its 9 week run, however it is on an amazing track to becoming the next "Where Have You Been" which spent 19 weeks in the top 5, and four weeks at #1 (after including January's tally).

Bruno Mars holds at #4 for a second week, with "Locked Out Heaven".

Rihanna nets her sixth top 5 hit with "Right Now (feat. David Guetta)". The song follows "We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)", "Where Have You Been", Drake's "Take Care (feat. Rihanna)", "Roc Me Out", and "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix)".

Christina Aguilera's follow up to the #1 hit "Your Body", rises 7-6. The song could become her next top 5 hit, but with tons of new single releases each week, it could stop where it is now.

Maroon 5's #3 peaking "Lucky Strike" slides 5-7 after a few weeks of upward movement.

Ke$ha's "Die Young" slips 6-8 after peaking at #3 for a few weeks.

Jessie J's "Silver Lining (Crazy About You)" rises 10-9, and Bruno Mars enters the top 10 with his newest hit "Young Girls".

Just below, Ke$ha rises 12-11 with "C'mon", and Little Mix's "DNA" moves 17-13.

Come back Sunday for the chart!

Rihanna's "Diamonds" Will Fall to #3 Next Week

After 7 consecutive weeks atop the CDS Music Chart, Rihanna's "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix) will drop to #3. At this point it looks as if it is the song's lowest airplay start during its entire chart run. Despite this, the song is off to a great overall start, spending 7 weeks at #1, 1 week at #2, and 1 week at #3.

Loreen is expected to rise after spending 6 weeks stalled at #2. It is its second highest airplay week so far, but the combo of Rihanna losing airplay, and a few other things have helped Loreen crown the chart for a second time in a row.

Swedish House Mafia is experiencing some gains as well, and "DYWC" will most likely sink its teeth into #2. If it reaches the top position within the next five weeks, it could become the third consecutive Swedish #1 single this year.

Come back Friday for updated results!

Chart Highlights: Swedish House Mafia Races Up

This week Rihanna's "Diamonds (Shahaf Moran Remix)" holds on to #1 for a seventh straight week, despite being down 4% in overall plays, and up less than 5% in points.

Loreen holds at #2 for a sixth straight week, in hopes of Rihanna descending from the penthouse. "My Heart is Refusing Me" is up 13% in overall points, but still did not beat Rihanna out.

Swedish House Mafia vaults 21-3 in one of the biggest 1 week point gains in all time history. "Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit [feat. John Martin]"gains by nearly 150% in overall chart points, and is already a contender for taking the throne after Rihanna drops.

Bruno Mars moves 5-4 with "Locked Out Of Heaven" and nets his highest charting song so far as "It Will Rain" debuted and peaked at #5 during the first week of January 2012.

"Lucky Strike" back-steps 4-5 to let other new songs populate the upper top 5. After 3 consecutive #1's "Lucky Strike" is Maroon 5's first song to miss the top slot, and second overall ("Moves Like Jagger" peaked at #6 in January).

Ke$ha's "Die Young" slips 3-6 with a slight decrease in overall points, but rises into the End Of The Year (So Far!) Chart's Top 40.

Christina Aguilera makes a move with "Let There Be Love" as it rocks 10-7. This is the second time that a Christina Aguilera song has hit #7 while on it's way up, as "Your Body" jumped 22 to 7 to 1 just a few months ago. What will happen with this one?

Ellie Goulding dips 6-8 with "I Need Your Love (feat. Calvin Harris)" after peaking at #4 two weeks ago.

Rihanna nets her latest Top 10, as "Right Now (feat. David Guetta)" moves 11-9.

Rounding out the top 10 is Jessie J's powerful movie theme "Silver Lining (Crazy About You)" as it moves 13-10. This marks Jessie J's second top 10 of the year after "Domino" which peaked at #4 in January.

Just below the top 10, Bruno Mars moves 14-11 with "Young Girls, Ke$ha's "C'mon" debuts at #12, at Little Mix's "DNA" debuts at #17.
