As predicted, "When I Was Your Man" ascends to number one this week. It was helped mainly to iTunes sales, who priced the song at $.69 this last week. It easily outsells "Thrift Shop", which spends its seventh non-consecutive week at number two. With this, Bruno Mars earns his fifth number one in the shortest amount of time since Elvis achieved this back in the 1950s. Also notable this week is that "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line and Nelly re-enters the chart at number eight in its 27th chart week. It was mainly helped by the American Country Music Awards which were held last week and achieved the highest ratings since 1998. Lastly, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis join an elite club of artists (Adele, The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Akon to name a few), to have two songs in the top ten simultaneously, as "Can't Hold Us" jumps the most places to get into the top ten. Now let's see what's happening outside of the region: Demi Lovato climbs 17-15 with "Heart Attack" (!!!!!), Icona Pop and Charli XCX jumps 24-17 with "I Love It", Ariana Grande and Mac Miller fall 10-22 with "The Way" but still earn a Pacesetter honor this week (how that happened I don't know), Darius Rucker rises 30-24 with "Wagon Wheel", Krewella earn their first top forty hit as "Alive" rises 45-40, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift see their duet "Highway Don't Care" shoot 56-42, The Band Perry blast 94-53 with their latest single "Done.", and Brad Paisley vaults 92-69 with "Beat this Summer".

Justin Timberlake keeps his perch atop the chart this week, although sales decline to 139,000 copies. But, The Band Perry wasn't that far behind; their "Pioneer" sold 129,000 this week and earn their highest charting album yet as well as their best sales week yet. Tyler, the Creator, comes in at number three, New Kids on the Block arrive at number six, and Killswitch Engage land at number seven. So, with that out of the way, let's see what else has been happening: Eric Clapton jumps 59-33 with "Old Sock", Brantley Gilbert shoots 89-62 with "Halfway to Heaven" as is the Pacesetter for the week, Pink Floyd plummets 28-94 with "Dark Side of the Moon", but they do earn their 830th chart week with that album, The Band Perry's self-titled 2010 debut blasts 140-104, and the Zac Brown Band rise 131-106 with "The Foundation", John Mayer vaults 193-135 with "Born and Raised", and Papoose takes the biggest plunge as "The Nacirema Dream" is down 97-183.
