Maroon 5 Keeps PSY Out Of Hot 100's Summit Again

Well, look on the bright side, PSY: it's getting a bit chilly outside to go shirtless, anyway.While the Korean rapper has vowed to perform "Gangnam Style" "topless in a place where everyone can watch" should the song top the Billboard Hot 100, Maroon 5 again prevents his revealing revelry, as "One More Night" spends a fourth week at No. 1. PSY's smash, buoyed by the song's buzz-worthy video in which he shows off his horse-mimicking moves, holds at No. 2 for a third frame.

 

Again, the race was extremely close. Last week, "Night" bested "Style" by fewer than 500 overall chart points, the smallest difference between Nos. 1 and 2 since the Feb. 18 chart. This week, just 700 points separate the songs, as "Night" gains by less than 1% in overall points and "Style" declines by 1%.

On Hot 100 component charts, each song boasts a new No. 1 ranking: "Night" rises to the top of Radio Songs and "Style" does the same on On-Demand Songs.

Though the gap has narrowed at radio between the two songs, as "Style" gains 1.6 million more audience impressions than "Night," Maroon 5 remains atop the Hot 100 largely thanks to its wide lead in radio airplay. "Night" climbs 2-1 in its 11th week on the Radio Songs chart with a 7% increase to 125 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. After never leading Radio Songs before last year, Maroon 5 has now done so with its last three singles. Prior to "Night," "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, ruled for seven weeks beginning last October and "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, reigned for six weeks beginning in July.
