"Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, matches the year's longest reign. Plus, Jay Z blasts in at No. 8 with "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake
Robin Thicke racks a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, equaling the longest command for a leader this year. Plus, as Jay Z's album "Magna Carta... Holy Grail" rockets onto the Billboard 200 at No. 1, "Holy Grail," the lead single from the set, debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 8.
As "Lines" spends a sixth week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, the song ties Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, for the longest run atop the ranking this year. "Shop" led for four weeks in February before ceding the summit to Baauer's "Harlem Shake" for five frames. "Shop" then returned for two more weeks at No. 1 in April. (Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" wrapped a six-week command the week of Jan. 26, but, having ascended to No. 1 the week of Dec. 22, 2012, only four of its weeks on top were tallied in 2013.)
"Lines" leads Radio Songs for a second week, gaining by 15% to 179 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. Dating to the chart's December 1990 launch, only four songs have logged higher weekly audiences: Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," which peaked with 212 million the week of July 9, 2005; Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" (196 million, Jan. 20, 2007); Alicia Keys' "No One" (192 million, Dec. 22, 2007); and Mario's "Let Me Love You" (190 million, Feb. 5, 2005).
