Another Iggy Azalea release, another top forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Azalea’s new single “Beg for It,” which features MØ, rises fourteen places to a new peak of #35 this week.
“Beg for It” joins the company of Azalea’s previous top forty hits “Fancy (featuring Charli XCX)” and “Black Widow (featuring Rita Ora).” They peaked at #1 and #3, respectively.
“Work,” Azalea’s first notable release, went as high as #54 once “Fancy” established Azalea’s place on the pop culture radar.
— Also new to the top forty this week is Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” Not even yet being pushed on pop radio, the follow-up to his top ten hit “Don’t” surges twenty two places to #40 this week. It is benefiting from solid levels of sales and streaming (as well as decent early airplay from the adult pop/hot adult contemporary format).
