Luke Bryan Nets Second Week Atop Billboard 200, John Mayer Debuts at No. 2
By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | August 28, 2013

As expected, Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as it sells 159,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan (down 70%).

Out of 29 chart-toppers, it's only the sixth album this year to spend multiple weeks at No. 1. That sum includes two sets that debuted at No. 1 in 2012, but then went on to spend multiple weeks atop the list this year: Taylor Swift's "Red" and Mumford & Sons' "Babel."

"Crash My Party" is also the first country album by a male solo artist to spend multiple weeks atop the list since Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" racked up two frames at No. 1 in the spring of 2012.

The second-week sum of “Crash My Party” was enough to fend off a challenge from the set that arrives at No. 2: John Mayer's "Paradise Valley."

The latter starts with 144,000 and marks Mayer's fifth consecutive solo studio set to debut in the top two. His last two albums—2012's "Born and Raised" and 2009's "Battle Studies"—both entered at No. 1. "Born" blew in with 219,000, while "Battle" headed in with 286,000. In total, all of Mayer's six studio albums have reached the top 10.

"Paradise Valley" logs Mayer's smallest start for a studio effort since his debut full-length release: 2001's "Room for Squares." The latter launched with 2,000 copies in May of that year, on its way to a No. 8 peak nearly two years later in March 2003.

In brighter news: Mayer's debut of 144,000 notches the largest sales week for a rock album since June, when Black Sabbath's "13" debuted at No. 1 with 155,000.

Mayer's newest album is one of five bows in the top 10 this week, and Nos. 2-5 are all new arrivals as well.

Super R&B trio TGT starts at No. 3 with "Three Kings," moving 76,000. The three leading singers—Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank—also hit No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and the R&B Albums chart.

The bow of 76,000 for “Kings” is the largest sales week for any of TGT's three members since May 2007. That month, Tank's solo album "Sex Love & Pain" started with 103,000.

Combined, the three members of TGT have notched nine previous top 10 albums on their own. Ginuwine has claimed four top 10s, while Tyrese and Tank have tallied two and three, respectively.

The chart's third debut this week comes from veteran singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who bows at No. 4 with "Songs From St. Somewhere" (55,000). The new album is his 11th top 10 set, stretching back to 1978's "Son of a Son of a Sailor" (which peaked at No. 10). The former Billboard writer (he wrote for this publication in 1969 and 1970) didn't return to the top 10 until 1994's "Fruitcakes" (No. 5).

Next up on the chart this week is Earl Sweatshirt, who debuts at No. 5 with his first studio effort, "Doris." The Odd Future member moved 49,000 copies of the set in its first week, which also enables its bow atop the Top Rap Albums chart.

Right behind him on the Rap Albums list is the fifth and final bow in the Billboard 200's top 10: A$AP Ferg. The member of the A$AP hip-hop collective starts at No. 2 on Rap Albums and No. 9 on the Billboard 200 with his debut set, "Trap Lord" (32,000).

Earlier this year, fellow A$AP Mob crew member A$AP Rocky debuted at No. 1 on both charts with "Long.Live.A$AP," selling 139,000 in its first week.

Back in this week's top 10: Robin Thicke's former No. 1, "Blurred Lines," slips two rungs to No. 6 with 46,000 (down 5%).

Thicke was one of a number of performers on Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards, and he could see a spike in sales next week. The bulk of any gain felt from the Aug. 25 show will be seen on next week's charts, after a full week's worth of sales have been registered, post-show. (This week's charts reflect the sales week that ended on Sunday night, the day of the awards.)

The "Now 47" compilation falls 3-7 with 33,000 (down 36%) while the "Teen Beach Movie" soundtrack slips 7-8 with nearly 32,000 (down 2%). The album has spent six weeks in the top 10, tying "Les Misérables" and "Pitch Perfect" as the soundtracks with the most weeks in the top 10 this year.

Closing out the top 10 on the Billboard 200 this week is Jay Z's "Magna Carta . . . Holy Grail," which descends 6-10 with 30,000 (down 21%).


KATY'S SUSTAINED 'ROAR' ON DIGITAL SONGS CHART
Over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" keeps holding firm at No. 1, selling another 392,000 downloads in its second week (down 30%).

Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams) is steady at No. 2 with 251,000 (down 14%), while Avicii's breakout hit "Wake Me Up!" climbs 7-3 with 175,000 (up 27%).

Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake, remains at No. 4 (171,000; down 4%), and Lady Gaga's "Applause" slips 3-5 with 163,000 (down 25% in its second week).

Lorde's "Royals" makes a swift 10-6 jump with 145,000 sold (up 35%). The song is currently in its third week at No. 1 on the Alternative airplay chart and also jumps 39-27 on the Pop Songs airplay tally (known as Mainstream Top 40 on Billboard.biz).

Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" descends 6-7 with 143,000 (down 3%), and Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness" scoots 9-8 with 132,000 (up 12%).

Luke Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" retreats 5-9 with 125,000 (down 24%), and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" slips 8-10 with 115,000 (down 4%).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Aug. 25) totaled 4.9 million units, down 4% compared with the sum last week (5.1 million) and down 3% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (5 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 181 million, down 6% compared with the same total at this point last year (192.5 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.1 million downloads, down 4% compared with last week (23.1 million) and down 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (23.5 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 865.4 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (893.7 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: TobyMac's "Eye on It" debuted at No. 1 with 69,000 and Slaughterhouse's "Welcome To: Our House" bowed at No. 2 with 52,000.

"Roar" only had a 141k advantage of "Blurred Lines" this week in digital sales. It looks like Blurred Lines will hold onto a 12th consecutive week at #1.

Blurred Lines has consistently been dropping ~15% in sales for the past few weeks. If that trend continues, he could be at like 213k in sales next week. Hopefully that airplay decreases at fast pace...

Robin Thicke Leads Hot 100, Katy Perry Holds At No. 2

'Blurred Lines' rules for a 12th week, again holding off 'Roar,' which remains at No. 2. Plus, Lady Gaga enters the top five and Avicii, Lana Del Rey and Cedric Gervais land their first top 10s

Robin Thicke tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a 12th week with "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell), fending off Katy Perry's "Roar," which holds at No. 2. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga ascends to the top five and Avicii, Lana Del Rey and Cedric Gervais score their first top 10s on the tally.

As always, let's break down the numbers.

"Lines" leads Radio Songs for an eighth week, although finally registering a decline in airplay, losing 3% from its record-setting sum of the 228.9 million all-format audience impressions it logged last week, according to Nielsen BDS (dipping to 221.3 million). It also posts an eighth week atop the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (1.7 million U.S. streams, down 4%, according to BDS), while holding at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (6.1 million, down 8%). On Digital Songs, "Lines" remains at No. 2 (following a 10-week command) with 251,000 downloads sold (down 14%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The song claims a 12th week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and a 15th week atop R&B Songs, while becoming just the 14th title to top the Hot 100 for at least 12 weeks. "Lines" is also practically a lock to be named the top title on Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart. This year's final survey will be compiled next week, with the season's final rankings to be revealed on Billboard.com next Thursday (Sept. 5).

Despite its declines in airplay, sales and streaming, "Lines" manages to keep Perry's "Roar" out of the Hot 100 summit, with the latter song experiencing a second-week sales slide while gaining in airplay and streaming. ("Lines" and "Roar" are separated by a 13% difference in overall chart points, with "Lines" down by 8% and "Roar," 17%. Last week, "Lines" held just a 3% lead.)

Following its opening-week sales of 557,000 last week, the sixth-largest digital total for a song in SoundScan history, "Roar" registers a not atypical backslide to a still lofty 392,000 (down 30%) and holds at No. 1 on Digital Songs. Its airplay, meanwhile, continues to build, as it rises 13-11 on Radio Songs (76 million, up 21%). On Streaming Songs, "Roar" regresses 4-5, although with a 24% increase to 4.7 million. It charges 12-4 with the top gain on On-Demand Songs (1.6 million, up 71%).

As forecast last week, "Roar" could still reach No. 1 on the Hot 100. Airplay, sales and streaming for "Lines" is eroding. As airplay and streaming for "Roar" rises (with its official video not yet released), strong sales going forward could still make it, to quote its lyrics, a champion on the Hot 100.

The much-buzzed-about Miley Cyrus holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100 with "We Can't Stop," which peaked at No. 2 for three weeks. "Stop" scores a 10th week atop Streaming Songs (6.4 million, down 7%), becoming the first song to reach a domination of double-digit weeks since the chart launched earlier this year. It slips 6-7 on Digital Songs (143,000, down 3%) but lifts 18-15 on Radio Songs (55 million, up 7%).

As reported this morning, duet partners Cyrus and Thicke are two of several acts on Sunday's (Aug. 25) MTV Video Music Awards who could score sales spikes by next week. The bulk of any gains from the broadcast will be reflected on next week's charts after a full week's-worth of sales have been registered, post-show. (This week's charts reflect the sales week that ended on Sunday night, the day of the VMAs.)

After opening the VMAs with her new single, Lady Gaga is also likely to see sales gains by next week with "Applause," which rises 6-4 in its second week on the Hot 100. The track falls 3-5 on Digital Songs (163,000, down 25%) after launching last week with 218,000. What fuels its Hot 100 rise the most, however, is the premiere of its official video on Aug. 19: "Applause" boasts the biggest increase on Streaming Songs, where it pounces 9-3 (6 million, up 106%). (77% of the streaming for "Applause" stems from VEVO on YouTube views.)

On On-Demand Songs, "Applause" vaults 36-12 (995,000, up 109%). In its second week on Radio Songs, it ascends 40-35 (37 million, up 19%). It also tops Dance/Electronic Songs for a second week.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" celebrates a year on the chart, dipping 4-5 in its 52nd week. How rare is it for a song to be in the top five after a year on the survey? It's happened just once before: Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" rebounded 17-5 in its 59th week after last year's Grammy Awards. "Radioactive" is just the 34th song in the Hot 100's history to chart for at least a year.

On Hot Rock Songs, "Radioactive" spends a record-extending 23rd week at No. 1.

Jay Z's "Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake) backtracks to No. 6 after tallying three weeks at its No. 5 peak so far on the Hot 100. The song climbs 11-9 on Radio Songs (71 million, up 19%), becoming Jay Z's 16th top 10 and Timberlake's 13th on the airplay chart. With the advance, Jay Z ties Usher on the Radio Songs top 10 leaderboard, with the pair trailing only Lil Wayne (18), Ludacris and T-Pain (17 each) for the most among men. (Mariah Carey leads all acts with 23 Radio Songs top 10s.)

"Grail" holds at No. 4 on Digital Songs (171,000, down 4%) and No. 11 on Streaming Songs (2.8 million, down 1%). It tops Rap Songs for a fifth week and takes over atop Rap Airplay.

EDM luminary Avicii notches his first Hot 100 top 10, as "Wake Me Up!" rises (and shines) 11-7. The song makes across-the-board gains, jumping 7-3 on Digital Songs (175,000, up 27%) and 37-28 on Radio Songs (42 million, up 31%). It holds at No. 8 on Streaming Songs with a 15% uptick to 3.3 million.

Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound" reaches a new peak on the Hot 100 (10-8), with the former Alternative Songs No. 1 pushing 7-5 on Radio Songs (101 million, up 9%), 14-11 on Digital Songs (99,000, up 12%) and 27-25 on Streaming Songs (2 million, up 8%).

Like Avicii, Lana Del Rey and Cedric Gervais celebrate their first Hot 100 top 10 placements, as "Summertime Sadness" (remixed from its original slower form by the latter artist) pounces 15-9 as the chart's top Airplay Gainer. It powers 16-14 on Radio Songs (69 million, up 26%), 9-8 on Digital Songs (132,000, up 12%) and 29-23 on Streaming Songs (1.9 million, up 29%). (Check out Billboard's exclusive interview with "Summertime" co-writer Rick Nowels here.)

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" (featuring Pharrell) closes out the Hot 100's top 10 (7-10) after peaking at No. 2 for five weeks.
