The top five singles on the R&B/Hip Hop singles charts last week remained in the same order on this week’s charts. Iggy Azalea again claimed her #1 spot for “Black Widow” while Jeremih and Nicki Minaj followed closely at #2 and #3 respectively. Big Sean’s latest single, “I Don’t Fuck With You,” jumped from #9 to #6 while breaking the 100k sold mark in the process.
Farther down the list, Kendrick Lamar’s “i” dropped out of the Top 10 entirely, slipping eight spots down to #14 with a 35% drop in sales. In the same span of time, Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle” single entered the Top 10 at #9 with 25,241 of the single sold last week alone.
Iggy Azalea Holds Onto #1
Despite a consecutive week of a more than 10% decrease in sales from the previous, Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow” still easily earned its #1 spot yet again on this week charts. The Rita Ora featuring track sold 77,386 units last week, bringing the total up to 1,591,207.
