The downward spiral of declining point numbers atop the global track chart continues to rotate. Beneficiary of it is American actress and singer Ariana Grande. Despite an 1% points decline to 234.000 her 'Problem', a collaboration with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, jumps from no.5 to no.1! It's Ariana's biggest hit so far and her first global no.1. For Iggy it's the second global no.1 in only two weeks. She has virtually replaced itself at the summit. Last week 'Fancy' conquered the tip, this week it placed at the vice position with only 600 points less. Back to this week's no.1, the 234.000 points of 'Problem' almost represent a historical low. Since more than nine years no other no.1 smash topped with such a low points frame: 50 Cent's 'Candy Shop' ruled the global tally with 231.000 points in the week 21, 2005. Exactly one year ago, in the week 27, 2013, Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell Williams' 'Blurred Lines' scored with 690.000 points, Ariana Grande's 'Problem' would have been only no.8 in that week! Back to this week's countdown: highest debut comes from Maroon 5. 'Maps', the first sign of their upcoming fifth album, bows at no.5 globally with 218.000 points, driven by big sales in the USA and South Korea. In the latter country 'Maps' tops this week's official download chart by GAON. Normally foreign songs there are under-represented, a no.1 for such a song is a very rare happening. 'Maps' is Maroon 5's seventh global Top 10 success. New teenie sensation 5 Seconds Of Summer lands the second highest debut this week, 'Kiss Me Kiss Me' arrives at no.21 with 102.000 points. Simultaneously the former single 'Don't Stop' returns at no.17 with 121.000 points, driven by the belated release in United Kingdom and some other countries. And the first single of the band is also still in the Top 40 and goes down at no.39 this week with 65.000 points. Outside the Top 40 waiting among other Ed Sheeran's 'Bloodstream' at no.42, Enrique Iglesias' 'Bailando' at no.44, Tove Lo's 'Habits (Stay High)' at no.46, MKTO's 'Classic' at no.50, Kongo's 'Come With Me' at no.53 and Lilly Wood & The Prick's 'Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix)' at no.54 for their first appearance on the big list.
