So there were quite a few occurences this week. For one, Harlem Shake's YouTube views have plummeted, but they still are enough to keep it at number one. However, this looks like it's last week at the top, since it has dropped in all areas including YouTube views, sales, and airplay. Thrift Shop is still atop the radio waves, but its sales are also decreasing and a rebound to number one doesn't look possible. Thankfully, the gap between Harlem Shake and Thrift Shop has closed. Personally, I predict that "When I Was Your Man" will leap-frog over Thrift Shop and take number one as soon as next week, as it continues to gain massive surges in airplay, and its sales are also on the rise. P!nk's duet with Nate Ruess soars into the top ten this week, becoming her third top ten from "The Truth About Love" and her second song top peak at number nine from that album. That's all the big news for the top ten, let's see what happened outside of the top tier: Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack" rebounds 22-19 thanks to its resurgence in airplay (!!!), Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" blasts 77-25 with Digital Gainer honors, fun's lastest hit "Carry On" rises 29-26, and their other hit "Some Nights" plummets 39-49 in its 56th chart week, newcommer Krewella's song "Alive" shoots 68-57, Phillip Phillips' new song "Gone, Gone, Gone" roars 100-59, and Taylor Swift's "22" re-enters the chart at number 64.

As you can see, we have alot of debuts in the top ten this week. The most debuts in the top ten ever was back in December 2012 when seven new arrivals landed in the top tier. Rock legends Bon Jovi and David Bowie were both vying for the top spot, with Bon Jovi coming out victorious. Also notable is that "All Around the World", "Old Sock", and "Sound City" all sold roughly 37,000 copies; only a handful of units separate the three titles. With all the new albums in the top portion, a lot of albums experienced dramatic sales losses, but there are some exciting things happening outside of the top ten: P!nk's "The Truth About Love" rises 12-11, Phillip Phillip's "The World from the Side of the Moon" shoots 33-18, Ed Sheeran's "+" bullets 51-24, PitBull's "Global Warming" rockets 75-31 and is our Pacesetter for the week, Justin Timberlake's "Future Sex/Love Sounds" benefits from "The 20/20 Experience" being released last week (and it's expected to debut at number one next week with sales of 800,000 copies), it vaults 180-98, MercyMe's "The Hurt & The Healer" leaps 183-101, Justin Timerblake's debut "Justified" has also regained popularity and it rises 175-111, Ellie Goulding's "Halcyon" rises 146-135 (!!!), How to Destory Angels' "Welcome Oblivion" takes the biggest plunge from 30-195, and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" falls 133-177 in its 827th chart week.
