Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj shoot "Swish Swish" straight to #1
Katy Perry makes Crown 100 history this week as the first artist ever to reach #1 with more than one song, as "Swish Swish" featuring Nicki Minaj becomes her second chart-topper, following this winter's four-week #1 "Chained To The Rhythm" (featuring Skip Marley). By debuting at #1 ("Swish" started at #119 last week, missing the bottom rungs of the chart by about 2,500 points), the song is the second ever to do so, following the chart-topping start by Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You" earlier this year.
Perry's previous release, "Bon Appétit" featuring Migos, also moves up, returning to the top ten with a new peak of #9. The song, now considered a buzz single after first being released as the second single from upcoming album Witness, originally debuted at #10 three weeks ago.
In between Perry's two top-ten hits is plenty of action. Miley Cyrus's "Malibu" jumps two spots to #2, followed by "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber, which leaps 8-3. Zedd and Alessia Cara's "Stay" reaches a new peak of #4, while Kygo and Selena Gomez's "It Ain't Me" rebounds to #5. Paramore's "Hard Times" returns to the top ten after a week in and a week out, now at a new peak of #6.
Camila Cabello sees a lofty debut for "Crying In The Club," starting off at #7 this week. It's the first of two new songs from the ex-Fifth Harmony member, who also brings "I Have Questions" to #30.
After landing a week at #1 last week, Kendrick Lamar's "HUMBLE." slides to #8, the farthest fall yet for a number-one song. Lamar's "DNA." is the only other track from DAMN. currently in the top 100, falling 31-58. Bruno Mars's "That's What I Like" caps the top ten, falling four spots.
With four songs into the top ten this week, four fall out: Lorde's former #1 "Green Light" drops 7-11, Lady Gaga's "The Cure" dips 2-12, "Sign Of The Times" by Harry Styles falls 3-13, and Clean Bandit's "Symphony" featuring Zara Larsson goes from #9 to #15.
After last week's #63 debut, Selena Gomez's "Bad Liar" looks poised to move into the top ten soon; it comes up short at #14 this week, but is the chart's biggest mover by jumping 49 spots.
Alongside "Swish Swish," "Crying In The Club," and "I Have Questions," there are a total of twelve debuts in the top fifty. Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan have the highest entry of those below the top ten, debuting new collaboration "There For You" at #24.
Following the fatal attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England on Monday night, Grande sees two songs debut on the Crown 100: My Everything single "One Last Time," which rose to #1 on iTunes in the United Kingdom and was poignantly featured in fan videos and singalongs at other shows throughout the week, enters at #25, while Dangerous Woman closer "Thinking Bout You" starts at #95.
Among the other debuts on the chart this week: Raye's "The Line" (#26), Carly Rae Jepsen's "Cut To The Feeling" (#33), Samantha Jade's "Circles On The Water" (#34), Iggy Azalea's "Switch" featuring Anitta (#35), and Bebe Rexha's "The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody)" featuring Lil Wayne at #40.
