As Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy,” featuring Charli XCX, rises 2-1 on Pop Songs, it becomes the fourth No. 1 by a female rapper in the airplay survey’s 21-year history: Lil’ Kim led with “Lady Marmalade,” with Christina Aguilera, Mya and P!nk, for nine weeks in 2001; Eve’s “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” (featuring Gwen Stefani) topped the Aug. 25, 2001, tally; and Missy Elliott ruled as a featured artist on Ciara’s “1, 2 Step” for two weeks in 2005. “Fancy” spends a second week atop both Rhythmic Songs and Rap Airplay.

With a fourth straight week atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “Play It Again,” Luke Bryan surpasses his previous best No. 1 run, set when “Crash My Party” linked a three-week reign last July. He becomes the second act this year to lead for four weeks: Florida Georgia Line’s “Stay” began a four-week command on Jan. 4. While Capitol Records isn’t yet promoting the song to formats outside country, it’s already nearing the Adult Pop Songs chart due to unsolicited play from intrigued stations like KVIL Dallas, WBMX Boston, WOMX Orlando, Fla., and WTIC Hartford, Conn.
