Pink Plants a Big 'Kiss' in Hot 100's Top 10



P!nk rockets into the Billboard Hot 100's top 10, as "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" vaults 58-9 in its second week on the chart. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," meanwhile, holds at No. 1 for a sixth week, Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" crowns the Digital Songs tally and Flo Rida reaches the Hot 100's top 10 with "Whistle."
 
"Kiss," the first single from P!nk's sixth studio album, "The Truth About Love," due Sept. 18, makes its monster Hot 100 move as the chart's top Digital and Airplay Gainer. On Digital Songs, it lunges 41-4 with a 259% increase to 171,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. On the Radio Songs ranking, "Kiss" pounces 56-23 with a 76% gain to 39 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

"Kiss" is P!nk's 12th Hot 100 top 10, a history that began with "There You Go" in 2000. Since the turn of the millennium, she boasts the third-most top 10s among women, trailing only Rihanna (22) and Beyonce (14). (She passes the 11 top 10s each totaled by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in that span.)
 
"Kiss" logs the largest leap into the Hot 100's top 10 since Drake's "Make Me Proud," featuring Nicki Minaj, bounded 97-9 the week of Nov. 5, 2011.
 
Jepsen's "Maybe" continues its Hot 100 command, although it drops 1-2 after eight weeks atop Digital Songs (203,000, down 17%). It spends a fifth (nonconsecutive) week at its No. 2 peak on Radio Songs (126 million, down 5%), while leading On-Demand Songs (857,000 on-demand streams, down 13%, according to BDS) for a fifth week.  


Maroon 5's "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a fifth frame; it's spent all 13 of its weeks on the chart between Nos. 2 and 3. The cut tops Radio Songs for a third week (138 million, up 2%), while dipping 2-3 on On-Demand Songs (799,000, down 14%) and 3-5 on Digital Songs (155,000, down 16%).
 
Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" rises 4-3 on the Hot 100 and assumes the top spot on Digital Songs (2-1; 205,000, down 2%). Now with eight Digital Songs No. 1s (passing Eminem's seven), Perry trails only Rihanna (11) for the most toppers in the chart's archives. "Awake" remains bulleted at No. 5 on Radio Songs (97 million, up 11%) and darts 9-6 on On-Demand Songs (626,000, up 12%).
 
Gotye's former eight-week No. 1 "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, slides 3-4 on the Hot 100, while Ellie Goulding's "Lights" holds at No. 5 in its 30th week. While dropping in digital sales (150,000, down 6%) and on-demand songs (757,000, down 1%), "Lights" gains on Radio Songs, where it maintains its No. 6 rank (86 million, up 12%).
 
Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" stays at No. 6 on the Hot 100 (after reaching No. 5 earlier this month). The track pushes 4-3 on Radio Songs (120 million up 4%), inches 18-17 on On-Demand Songs (408,000, down 4%) and slides 9-13 on Digital Songs (82,000, down 20%).
 
Flo Rida flies to his eighth Hot 100 top 10, as "Whistle" jumps 12-7 with top Streaming Gainer honors. It soars 39-16 on On-Demand Songs (440,000, up 53%), while climbing 4-3 on Digital Songs (191,000, up 11%) and 53-34 on Radio Songs (32 million, up 40%).
 
With the ascent of "Whistle," Flo Rida makes it three consecutive top 10s from his new album, "Wild Ones." "Good Feeling" reached No. 3 in January and the title cut, featuring Sia, rose to No. 5 in May.
 
Surrounding P!nk's "Kiss" in the Hot 100's top 10, David Guetta's "Titanium," also featuring Sia, descends 7-9 and Usher's "Scream" holds at No. 10 for a fourth week. With 76,000 sold in the chart's tracking week, the latter song passes 1 million in digital sales since its release.
