Chart Highlights

• In its 12th week on top, "Uptown Funk!" becomes only the 15th hit to spend that many weeks at #1 in Hot 100 history. It also ties Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" for the longest tenure on top this decade. The song likewise spends a 12th week atop Digital Songs, having sold nearly 5,000,000 copies thus far.

• Flo Rida earns his 10th top-10 hit with "G.D.F.R.", becoming the 15th rapper to do so. With the climb, rapper Sage the Gemini and producer Lookas also earn their first top-10s. The song passes 1,000,000 sales this week.

• Meghan Trainor's latest single "Dear Future Husband" re-enters at #47 following the release of its video. Prior to its single release, the song sold well as an album track; it has been certified gold and spends its 10th week on the Hot 100.

• Kendrick Lamar debuts 6 songs on the Hot 100 from To Pimp a Butterfly, led by "King Kunta" at #61. We also see the notable return of funk legend George Clinton, who is featured on Kendrick's "Wesley's Theory" at #91. Clinton charted 14 hits with his bands Parliament, Funkadelic, and Parliament-Funkadelic from 1969-96, and made one previous solo entry as a featured artist on Ice Cube's "Bop Nation", which peaked at #23 in 1994.

Yeah I was really surprised by 'Talking Body' - I kinda thought Tove would disappear pretty much instantly once it was clear 'Not On Drugs' wasn't gaining traction. But I'm happy to see it doing well and I hope it does a lot more.

AlunaGeorge remix bubbling under? Weird but I hope it goes Hot 100.

Posted by: dhwe 28th March 2015, 02:34 AM

It's been getting some pop airplay, though I think it's being treated as DJ Snake's follow-up to "Turn Down for What" rather than a breakout for AlunaGeorge. It would be cool to see AG chart regardless.

Posted by: Dircadirca 28th March 2015, 03:55 AM

All those Kendrick debuts

Uptown Funk still looks pretty much untouchable. Without some sort of belated sales boost, Maroon 5 look out of the race almost. The Weeknd actually looks the best chance to go #1 next with the airplay gains he's getting.

Posted by: Napoleon 28th March 2015, 04:48 AM

Ouch at Ghost 44-x. I do think Ella hasn't performed that well in America despite her incredible promotion tbh!

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 28th March 2015, 08:07 AM

SLAYYYYY

Posted by: Nelly. S 28th March 2015, 08:18 AM

It's only really dropped out of the top 50 on billboard. I remember thinking a few weeks back about Break Free diving from 42-x but I was corrected that songs drop out of the top 100 once they've dropped out of the top 50 or something like that It would explain why Anaconda, Trumpets and even Fancy all dropped out of the charts at around the same place as Ghost.

Posted by: AshDeluxe 28th March 2015, 09:12 AM

Exactly, because songs with more than 20 chart weeks are not allowed in the lower half of the Hot 100.

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2015, 09:14 AM

^Unless they are still climbing, such as Headband^

Posted by: Rob 28th March 2015, 01:46 PM

Uptown Funk's reign is incredible, it should be #1 for another few weeks. Anyone have the Albums chart?

Posted by: HausofKendrick 28th March 2015, 01:47 PM

Nice to see 'Talking Body' climbing into the top 40 and securing another hit for her It's just reached a new peak on iTunes and is steadily climbing on radio so it's not over yet!

Posted by: Qassändra 28th March 2015, 02:05 PM

What do we think to the chances of Uptown Funk matching/beating One Sweet Day's record?

Posted by: Dobbo 28th March 2015, 02:10 PM

I'd say highly likely unless new Rihanna material exceeds expectations...

Posted by: ► ▲ N 28th March 2015, 02:14 PM

Bitch Better Have My Money seems very unlikely to go to #1 so I'd say Uptown Funk is likely to break the #1 weeks record (deservedly so too, One Sweet Day is very boring)

Posted by: Euphorique 28th March 2015, 02:31 PM

and Uptown Funk is annoying, so its like choosing between daggers and knives...

Posted by: dhwe 28th March 2015, 06:25 PM

The Rihanna track doesn't seem like something that pop radio would jump at the chance to play. It might become something like "Drunk in Love"/"Anaconda" and get to the upper reaches of the Hot 100 on strong sales/streams but airplay won't push it to #1.

Posted by: Umi 28th March 2015, 06:58 PM

I sure hope it doesn't get the record (is there any Mariah record she won't lose?) but I can't really see anything likely to stop it. Airplay-wise Ellie looks like the best bet but I don't think she'll get the traction on sales.

Posted by: Dark Horse 28th March 2015, 11:07 PM

i hope Uptown Funk breaks One Sweet Day's record because it's a way better song not to mention it is by a British artist which will be a great achievement for Brit artists in the US...

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 29th March 2015, 01:23 AM

It's not my favourite Mark Ronson single, but he more than deserves breaking records. I'm very happy for his success and hopefully this will encourage him to put out a more radio friendly album. He's a way better producer than David Guetta/Calvin Harris.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 29th March 2015, 06:17 AM

RE: "Ghost" - Billlboard has a recurrency rule in which songs drop off after 20 weeks when they fall off the top 50, simply going recurrent.

"GDFR" tho

Posted by: Atonement 29th March 2015, 07:30 AM

What kind of stupid rule is that?

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 29th March 2015, 07:56 AM

It's so that songs don't hang around the bottom half of the chart for ages. Quite sensible, imo!

Posted by: Atonement 29th March 2015, 08:27 AM

Well a top 100 should be just that, the 100 best selling songs. If it annoys them that songs hang around for ages then how about quit adding streams to the chart (I know they had this rule before streams kicked in but this should at least improve it) or make it a top 50.

Rant over

Posted by: dhwe 29th March 2015, 09:12 AM

It's mostly airplay that causes songs to stick around (and no, they're not gonna take airplay out of the equation after 57 years)

Posted by: Consie 30th March 2015, 08:38 PM

I agree that One Sweet Day is not a great song and hasn't aged well, but I don't like the idea of its record being broken mostly because I hate these ultra long running #1s. We're back to 10 years ago when only 8-10 singles reach #1 every year...

Posted by: *Tim 30th March 2015, 08:46 PM

This only counts if their overall "points" decreased tho (which is the case most of the time)

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 30th March 2015, 09:24 PM

Or some sort of giant promo. See: "Stay With Me".
