HOT 100: 'All About That Bass' booms to No. 1

[Travis 543]

 

The pop newcomer's debut hit dethrones Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' after two weeks on top. It's all about Meghan Trainor on this week's Billboard Hot 100, as her debut hit "All About That Bass" crowns the tally with a 2-1 climb.

 

Other highlights of Trainor's Hot 100 coronation: "Bass" is the second debut No. 1 by a lead female artist this year, following Iggy Azalea's seven-week reign with "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX. The last year in which two maiden entries by women in lead roles ruled the Hot 100? 2008, when Leona Lewis ("Bleeding Love") and Katy Perry ("I Kissed a Girl") each dominated on their first tries. 

 

"Bass" also brings acclaim to Trainor's label, Epic. It's Epic's first Hot 100 leader since Sean Kingston's fellow debut hit "Beautiful Girls" in 2007 (which Koch co-promoted with Epic). "Bass" is Epic's first No. 1 by a woman since Shakira's own ode to seductive shaking, "Hips Don't Lie," in 2006. The last lead female artist on Epic to take a debut hit to the top of the Hot 100? Minnie Riperton, whose soul classic "Lovin' You" led the April 5, 1975 list. (The late Riperton's daughter is actress Maya Rudolph.)

 

 

As "Bass" tops the Hot 100, Swift's "Shake" slips 1-2 after two weeks at the summit. The song drops 1-2 on Digital Songs (281,000, down 21 percent). Still, it passes a million in sales, having moved 1.18 million in its first three weeks. "Shake" falls 4-6 on Streaming Songs (7 million, down 20 percent) and holds at No. 7 on Radio Songs with a 16 percent surge to 102 million. With "Bass" up by 14 percent in overall points and "Shake" down by 14 percent, the former could be set up for a comfortable stay atop the Hot 100.

Minaj's "Anaconda" keeps at No. 3 for a second week after reaching No. 2 two weeks ago (marking her highest Hot 100 rank). The cut spends a third week atop Streaming Songs but decreases by 24 percent to 13.1 million (just slightly higher than the sum for "Bass"). "Anaconda" retreats 4-5 on Digital Songs (130,000, down 31 percent) and slithers 40-36 on Radio Songs (35 million, up 11 percent). It logs a third week at No. 1 on both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Rap Songs.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Azalea's "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora, reaches the region (6-5), highlighted by its entrance in the Radio Songs top 10 (13-10; 79 million, up 16 percent). The track rebounds 5-4 on Digital Songs (143,000, down 24 percent) and reaches the Streaming Songs top five (6-4; 7.4 million, down 9 percent).

Sam Smith's No. 2-peaking "Stay With Me" backtracks 5-6 on the Hot 100 and tallies a fifth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (144 million, down 4 percent). (His new single, just announced, is "I'm Not the Only One.")

MAGIC!'s former six-week No. 1 "Rude" reverses course 8-7, while Grande's "Break Free," featuring Zedd, descends 7-8 (after rising to No. 4) and leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a fourth week.

Maroon 5's No. 6-peaking "Maps" returns to the Hot 100's top 10 (11-9), as parent album V debuts atop the Billboard 200. As announced this morning, Grande and Maroon 5 will be the first two musical guests on the new season of NBC's Saturday Night Live on Sept. 27 and Oct. 4, respectively (alongside respective hosts Chris Pratt and Sarah Silverman).

Closing out the top 10, Sia's "Chandelier," which has reached a No. 8 high, drops to No. 10.
