Well it looks like Thrift Shop isn't giving up! Even though it experiences declines all across the board (except for sales, it sold 284,000 copies last week). However, it still posts a slight lead over "When I Was Your Man". I definitely think it will take the top spot within the next week or so, since it has received strong airplay and hasn't declined in any other areas. Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" finally arrives in the top ten in its 31st chart week, which is the third slowest climb to this region ever. But the biggest news this week is: Ariana Grande debuts at number 10! Her duet with Mac Miller titled "The Way" sold 219,000 copies last week. She was the break-out star on the Nickelodeon show "Victorious", so its exciting to see her shine bright! As for the rest of the chart: Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" climbs 13-11 and is the Pacesetter of the week (he might get his next top ten next week), Macklemore and Ryan Lewis jumps 27-15 with "Can't Hold Us" (and they too might see their next top ten in a couple weeks or so), Demi Lovato rises 21-17 with "Heart Attack" (!!!!!!), Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel" lunges 38-30, Krewella rises 51-45 with "Alive", J. Dash's "Wop" blasts 82-52, Jason Aldean climbs 80-63 with "1994" (my birth year!), and Hadouken's "Levitate" vaults 100-69.

So as you can see, we have alot of new top ten debuts this week (haven't I said that before?). We have a whole slew of high-profile releases, as Lil Wayne comes in at number two (at least he didn't get number one), Blake Shelton takes 3rd place, OneRepublic takes fourth, Alan Jackson settles for fifth, and Depeche Mode comes in sixth. Also, The Strokes score another top ten with "Comedown Machine". Justin Timberlake stays at number one with "The 20/20 Experience" selling 300,000+ copies this week (down 68%). With all of the new arrivals, a lot of albums had to fall, let's see the rest of the chart: Thompson Square's "Just Feels Good" debuts at number 13. Astonishingly, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is our Pacesetter this week, skyrocketing 114-28 in its 829th chart week, Dido's fourth album "Girl Who Got Away" debuts at number 32 (really America? That album is awesome!), Colton Dixon rises 119-41 with "A Messenger", P!nk shoots 106-47 with "Greatest Hits...So Far!!!", The "Rock of Ages" soundtrack vaults 176-91, Fleetwood Mac's "Greatest Hits" jumps 199-124, Blake Shelton's 2011 album "Red River Blue" rises 182-130, and taking the biggest fall this week is Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Specter at the Feast"; it plummets 35-194.
