Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS OF THE WEEK: This week’s Top 5 is not only in exactly the same order as last week’s, its occupants’ sales totals are all within 10% +/- of last week’s numbers as well. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ follow-up hit cooled off slightly, slipping 8%, while P!nk was off 10%, though both stayed well above 200k, a level no other single has reached in recent weeks. Selena Gomez was the biggest gainer, moving up #9-6 behind a 24% sales increase, and the biggest debut, not surprisingly, was Mariah Carey’s ballyhooed “comeback” single, with a significant assist from Miguel.

1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, “Can't Hold Us” – 241k
2. P!nk f/Nate Ruess, “Just Give Me a Reason” – 230k
3. Justin Timberlake, “Mirrors” – 168k
4. Florida Georgia Line f/Nelly, “Cruise” (remix) – 151k
5. Rihanna f/Mikky Ekko, “Stay” – 145k
6. Selena Gomez, “Come & Get It” – 142k
7. Imagine Dragons, “Radioactive” – 141k
8. Icona Pop f/Charli XCX, “I Love It” – 128k
9. Bruno Mars, “When I Was Your Man” – 115k
10. Mariah Carey f/Miguel, “#Beautiful” – 114k

The other hashtag track, will.i.am’s Justin Bieber-enhanced “#ThatPower,” dropped 15% to 78k despite being hammered as the official theme song of the NBA Playoffs. A moment of silence for the epochal smash “Thrift Shop,” which slipped off the leaderboard after what seems like an eternity. Picking up momentum: Daft Punk’s Pharrell Williams-sung “Get Lucky” (#20-17 on 81k, +9%) and Emeli Sandé’s “Next to Me” (#23-20 on 76k, +22%). (5/16a)
