It is also the first song since 2009 when the Black Eyed Peas put "I I Gotta Feeling" at #1 for 14 weeks to spend that long leading the chart. Dutch artist Natalie La Rose earns the first top 10 hit of her career as "Somebody" pushes forward another three notches. R&B singer Omarion is enjoying the second biggest chart hit of his career as lead artist with "Post to Be" leaping 10 notches to #22. It is also the highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 for Jhene Aiko thus far in her career. Rihanna returns at #23 with "Bitch Better Have My Money" while "FourFiveSeconds" remains in the top 10. Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson benefit from a well-received iHeartRadio Awards performance of "Trouble" and watch the song climb into the chart at #67 this week.
