John Legend’s “All of Me” leads the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week, while Paramore, which has been charting on the Hot 100 for seven years, notches its first top 10 at last, as “Ain’t It Fun” ascends 13-10.
“All” holds at No. 1 despite drops for a second straight week in the Hot 100’s three metrics (airplay, sales and streaming). It rules the Radio Songs chart for a third week (184 million audience impressions, down 5 per cent, according to Nielsen BDS); slips from its No 2 peak to No 3 on Streaming Songs (7.3 million US streams, down 3 per cent, according to BDS); and holds at No 4 on Digital Songs, where it peaked for eight weeks at No 2 (144,000 downloads sold, down 11 percent, according to Nielsen SoundScan). The piano ballad does, however, log a 4 per cent gain to 2.9 million on-demand US streams, staying at No 2 on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart,
