Iggy Azalea spends a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, and holds at No. 2 as a featured act on Ariana Grande's "Problem." "Fancy" also takes over atop the Radio Songs chart.
Azalea continues her record-tying run in the Hot 100's top two spots, as, for a fourth week, "Fancy" and "Problem" rank at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively; previously, only the Beatles held the Hot 100's top two rungs simultaneously with their first two entries, for 10 weeks in 1964.
"Fancy" continues its Hot 100 command aided by its coronation on Radio Songs (2-1). The track surges by 7 percent to 145 million in all-format audience, according to Nielsen BDS. Azalea becomes the first female rapper to lead the list since Shawnna topped the Dec. 6, 2003, tally as featured on Ludacris' "Stand Up." Azalea is the firstlead female rapper to rule Radio Songs since Lil' Kim's "Magic Stick," featuring 50 Cent, reigned the week of July 5, 2003. The only other Radio Songs No. 1s by female rappers: Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," featuring Gwen Stefani (four weeks, 2001) and Lil' Kim's "Lady Marmalade," with Christina Aguilera, Mya and P!nk (six weeks, 2001).
As it tops Radio Songs, "Fancy" registers drops in sales and streaming for a third week. It leads Digital Songs for a fourth week but decreases by 14 percent to 226,000 downloads sold in the tracking week ending on June 15, according toNielsen SoundScan. It logs a fifth week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, down by 2 percent to 12.2 million U.S. streams, according to BDS.
"Fancy" featured singer Charli XCX, meanwhile, soars with her first Hot 100 hit as a lead artist, as "Boom Clap" bounds 62-29 in its second week. As its push to pop radio begins, the track jumps into the Digital Songs top 10 (16-9; 116,000, up 55 percent), powered by its inclusion in "The Fault in Our Stars" film and soundtrack, the latter of which pushes 8-5 on the Billboard 200 with a 5 percent gain to 38,000 sold. The catchy cut approaches Streaming Songs (1 million, up 266 percent) and Radio Songs (3.4 million, up from 150,000).
"Fancy" again holds off "Problem" for the Hot 100's top rank, with the latter also gaining at radio but decreasing in sales and streaming. "Problem" pushes 4-3 on Radio Songs, up by 11 percent to 127 million. It holds at its No. 2 peak on Streaming Songs (10.6 million, down 11 percent) and dips 2-3 on Digital Songs (186,000, down 13 percent); now in its seventh week on the chart, it spent its first three frames at No. 1.
