Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: March 31, 2012)

We Are Young by fun. feat Janelle Monae logs its 3rd consecutive week at #1 at the Billboard Hot 100. The song is still leading iTunes by a wide margin and with rising airplay to boot looks like this song will spend at least 6 weeks at #1 or more.

There's not much chart action on the top 10 this week with only Flo Rida and Sia's Wild Ones entering the top 10 with #12-#9 climb this week. This is Flo Rida's 7th top 10 hit after Low (10 weeks at #1 in 2007), Right Round (6 weeks at #1 in 2009), In The Ayer (#9), Sugar (#5), Club Can't Handle Me (#9) and most recently Good Feeling (#3).

Train enters the Top 20 as Drive By climbs #21 to #15 making it the band's 5th top 20 hit. On the other hand, British/Irish boyband One Direction leaps #33 to #19 with What Makes You Beautiful. This is the song's highest chart. This surpasses the peak position of Westlife's sole charting single in the US, Swear It Again, which peaked at #20 in 1999. Could One Direction follow fellow European boyband The Wanted (which is #3 this week with Glad You Came) and earn a top 5 hit? They could as the song is in the top 10 of iTunes right and has growing airplay. Plus their debut album bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart so definitely there's an interest with the US audience with this teen sensation.

LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem spends a full year on the Hot 100 logging its 52nd week on the chart this week (down slightly #26-#27) but the longest staying song on the chart is still Adele's phenomenal Rolling in the Deep raking in its #63rd week on the chart (down #30-#33). These songs were the Top 2 singles on the 2011 Billboard Hot 100 Year-end chart.
