“Lines” also holds the #1 spot on the On-Demand Songs chart for an eighth week, while it slips to #2 on the Streaming Songs and Digital Songs charts.
The song, which is so far Robin’s best selling and charting song of his career, also claims a 12th week at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart.
It also spends a 15th (yes 15, the number after 14) week at #1 on the R&B Songs chart, serving as the 14th title to top the Hot 100 for at least 12 weeks.

Following its opening week sales of 557,000 last week, Katy Perry ‘s “ Roar ,” which serves as the sixth-largest digital total for a song in SoundScan history, stalls at #2 for a second week.
But have no fear KatyKats, “Roar” could still reach the #1 spot, since sales, airplay, and streaming for “Blurred Lines” is slowly coming to a close.
Coming in at #3 this week is Miley Cyrus , who has been buzzed about all week , with the lead single from her upcoming fourth studio album Bangerz , which is set to be released on October 8th, 2013.

Coming in at #4 is Lady Gaga with “ Applause ,” which serves as the lead single from her upcoming third studio album ARTPOP , which is set to be released in November of this year.
The premiere of its official video on August 19th serves as one of the core reasons for the Top 10 jump, where it also pounces from #9 to #3 on the Streaming Songs chart, and #36 to #12 on the On-Demand Songs chart.
On the Radio Songs chart, it moves five spaces up from #40 to #35.
