Taylor Swift's new smash 'Shake It Off', the first Single from her upcoming fifth album '1989', debuts at no.1 this week on the World's Best Singles Chart with huge sales in America and internationally especially in the Anglo-American territories. Billboard reported 544.000 digital sales in the USA and 48.000 in Canada. In United Kingdom the track sold 31.000 copies and in Australia 18.000. 'Shake It Off' has the biggest first week of sales since AKB 48's with 'Labrador Retriever'. 'Kokoro No Placard', the 37th single of this Japanese pop sensation, which was released three days ago, will be no.1 next week. The tune has already sold nearly one million singles in Japan.

Back to this week's charts, Australian New Artist Meghan Trainor stays at no.2 with 'All About That Bass'. Last week's chart-leader, 'Rude' by Magic!, slips to no.3. French-Israeli alternative pop duo Lilly Wood & The Prick reaches the Global Top 10 for the first time. 'Prayer In C', remixed by German producer Robin Schulz, climbs to no.10 this week on the Global chart and is no.1 in the Uk, Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden & Norway. It's the second big success for Robin Schulz after his remix of Mr.Probz' 'Waves' which is still at no.27 this week on the same chart..

A sad new low in the history of the Global Album Chart: this week One Direction returns at no.40 with 'Midnight Memories' and only 14.000 sales! Never before since the start of the weekly hitlist in 2004 an album placed with such low sales. Let's look to the other end of our current Top 40: it seems that the Japanese use almost all their income for the purchase of new recordings from all these countless idol groups. Almost no week goes by, without a new successful single or album. This week NMB 48, a sister group to AKB 48, shoots atop the Global Album Chart with the second effort 'Sekai No Chuushin Wa Osaka Ya (Namba Jichiku)'. The set found 325.000 buyers in its first week at retail, according to Oricon. The first album of NMB 48, 'Teppen Tottande!', started also at the summit with almost the same sales (328.000, in the week 11, 2013). Last week's number one, the soundtrack to 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', slips at no.2 after an 8% sales decline to 133.000. 'Frozen', the other big soundtrack for now, climbs two slots back at no.3, driven by a 12% sales boost to 87.000. Ed Sheeran's 'X' takes the other direction and slides two spots at no.4 (down 7% to 85.000 sales). This week's second highest debut comes from American rock band Gaslight Anthem. Their fifth album 'Get Hurt' starts at no.5 with 66.000 sales. Nearly eight months have passed, so it's time for another interim balance: 'Frozen' leads outstanding with 5.625.000 sales, following by Coldplay's 'Ghost Stories' with 2.441.000 sales and Beyoncé's self-titled album with 2.051.000 sales. The complete Top 40 lists for albums and tracks are available on our FACEBOOK - account. Some additional sales stats: 'Whispers' by Passenger sold 11.000 copies last week and reaches a total of 277.000 so far, 'Don't Kill The Magic' by Magic! sold 9.000 units last week, 117.000 so far, 'If You Wait' by London Grammar sold 12.000 units last week and has a total of 895.000 units so far, 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' by Eminem sold 4.174.000 copies so far, 'Pure Heroine' by Lorde 2.669.000 and 'Prism' by Katy Perry 3.183.000.

'Am I Wrong' by Nico & Vinz spent only one week on the throne of the Global Track Chart and slides currently at no.3 after a 15% points decline to 242.000. Also 'Rude' by Magic! lost 3% in points to 260.000, but that's enough for a return to top position. It's the third non-consecutive week at the summit for that song. The 20 year-old Meghan Trainor is the shooting-star of the season. Her debut smash 'All About That Bass' reached with a record pace the vice-position of the Global Chart (up 21% to 244.000 points). Thematically in the near of Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' and musically in the near of Duffy and her blue-eyed soul, 'All About That Bass' will be surely one of the biggest hits in the last third of this year. Pharrell Williams' 'Happy', this week at no.18, reached a total of 13.025.000 points after 36 weeks on the tally. It's enough to overtake 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio feat. L.V. on the ALL TIME CHART. So 'Happy' climbs now at no.9 and next week it will be overtake 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas, the biggest hit of the 21st century so far! Back to this week's hitlist, Japanese seven-member boy band Kis-My-Ft2 brings the highest debut, 'Another Future' lands at no.15 with 141.000 points. Outside the Top 40 waiting among other Winner's 'Coloring' at no.41, Kana Nishino's 'Darling' at no.43, Dierks Bentley's Drunk On A Plane' at no.57 and Lady Antebellum's 'Bartender' at no.59 and  for their first appearance on the big list. 

16 months after the release in its native country, 'Am I Wrong' by the Norwegian duo Nico & Vinz tops finally the Global Track Chart. Driven by the massive first-week sales from United Kingdom, the tune jumps from no.3 to no.1 on the current hitlist and grows up 29% in points to 285.000. It's the first global no.1 by a Norwegian act since A-ha's 'Take On Me' topped the list for six weeks nearly 29 years ago, in the autumn 1985. 'Am I Wrong' ends the two-week reign of 'Rude' by Magic!, which ranks now at no.2 and shrinks a minor 1% in points to 268.000 points. Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' slides one place at no.3 (down 3% to 248.000 points). 20 year-old singer-songwriter, musician and producer Maghan Trainor from Massachusetts is the big new star! Her smash 'All About That Bass' runs with giant steps straight to the top. This week it shoots from no.12 to no.4 after a 35% points boost to 201.000. Rounds out the top five is Maroon 5's 'Maps' with 197.000 points. 'Eight Ranger' is a Japanese film from 2012, starring the members of the boy group Kanjani 8. The follow-up, 'Eight Ranger 2', was released last month. A song from this movie, simply titled as 'ER2', is this week's highest new entry on the global chart at no.18 with 136.000 points. It jumps also atop the Oricon Chart after massive 208.000 singles sales. Also new are 'Anaconda' by Nicki Minaj at no.21 with 116.000 points and 'Body Language' by San E feat. Bumkey at no.34 with 83.000 points. Outside the Top 40 waiting among other Becky G's 'Shower' at no.43, Lady Antebellum's 'Bartender' at no.50 and Dierks Bentley's Drunk On A Plane' at no.53 for their first appearance on the big list.
