Top 5 Songs for Week Ending Sept. 21 9.21周末最热5首歌曲排行榜
This is the Top Five Countdown where we look at the five most popular songs in the Billboard 1 Magazine Hot 100 pop singles chart, for the week ending September 21, 2013.
Two of our top five titles change this week - that’s a 40 percent turnover 2! It all starts in fifth place, where Avicii jumps two slots with “Wake Me Up!” The song comes with a pedigree. Released in June, it’s already gone to number one in more than 25 countries, from Bulgaria to New Zealand. It’s a million-seller in the United States, and has topped two separate Billboard dance charts.
Also on the rise are Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, as “Holy Grail” jumps a slot to fourth place. The second volume of Justin’s 20/20 Experience album hits the market on September 30.
Up a big five slots to third place is Lorde with “Royals.” This young singer may be the year’s fastest-rising star. Just a few months ago, the 16-year-old singer was virtually unknown outside her native New Zealand. Now, thanks to the web, her videos and songs have made her a fast-rising global star, and her debut 3 album Pure Heroine is set for a September 30 release.
Holding fast in second place are Robin 4 Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell with “Blurred Lines.” It’s a tribute to the song's popularity that the former 12-week champ remains 5 strong in second place. Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell have gone seven times platinum 6 in Australia, six times platinum in Canada, and five times platinum in the United States - meaning this song has sold five million downloads.
Still at number one is Katy Perry with “Roar.” She holds the Billboard Hot 100 singles title for a second week. Katy’s real name is Katherine Hudson - and she sang Christian 7 rock when she released her debut album in 2001. Seven years later she re-emerged as the singer we know and love today.
That’s it for now; join us in one week for an all-new hit list.
