adminPreviously, Khaled’s 2011 summer anthem “I’m On One” featuring Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne held the title with 11 straight weeks in the top spot.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis next hurdle is passing Mary J Blige’s all time record of 15 weeks at number one on the R&B/hip-hop chart. Blige achieved that accomplishment in 2006 with her Grammy winning song “Be Without You” from “The Breakthrough” album.
“Thrift Shop” is also number one on the Hot 100 for the sixth non-consecutive week. The fifth single from 2012’s “The Heist” album has sold over five million copies to date. The Seattle duo’s “Can’t Hold Us” (which was originally released as a single prior to “Thrift Shop”) is also creeping up the R&B/hip-hop chart currently sitting at number five.
The rest of the Top 10 R&B/hip-hop songs for the April 13 publication of Billboard are: (1) Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie” (2), Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” (3), Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” (4), Rihanna’s “Pour It Up” (6), A$AP Rocky’s “Problems” (7), Wale’s “Bad” (8), Ace Hood’s “Bugatti” (9), and Alicia Key’s “Girl On Fire” (10).
Rising songs right outside the Top 10 includes J Cole’s new single “Power Trip” featuring Miguel at number 12, “Wop” by Flo Rida associate J Dash at number 14, and British songstress Emile Sandé’s “Next To Me” at number 17. — Allhiphop.
