In 1991 Bryan Adams reached an alltime record, when his '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You' was massive 19 weeks atop the global chart. Now Pharrell Williams equals this record, his monster smash 'Happy' stays an impressive 19th week at the summit. But with only 275.000 points, the lowest points frame for a no.1 tune since Kelly Clarkson's 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' peaked with only 268.000 points in the 8, 2012. On the other side 'Happy' scored with massive 731.000 points 13 weeks ago. After exactly half a year on the tally the tune reaches a total of 11.188 points, that means no.26 on the ALL TIME CHART. But now the competition is close behind, Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' returns to no.2 with only 2.000 points less. And after the UK release Ed Sheeran's 'Sing' makes a big jump from no.10 to no.3 globally, thanks to a 55% points boost to 264.000. What will be happen next week? Can 'Happy' lead a 20th week? All three songs in the upper region of the global chart becoming point declines next week, so it's very difficult to say, who win. And there's another song with a little chance for the next global no.1: Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' climbs at no.6 this week, after an 18% points increase to 239.000... it will be exciting, next week! The new-entries: J-pop boy group Kat-Tun brings the highest, 'In Fact' starts at no.20 with 98.000 points, South Korean idol star Teayang comes in at no.23 with 'Eyes, Nose, Lips' and 90.000 points, Lil Wayne feat. Drake's 'Believe Me' opens at no.31 with 75.000 points and Disclosure feat. Sam Smith's 'Latch' moves close behind at no.32 with 74.000 points. Outside the top 40 waiting among other Enrique Iglesias' 'Bailando' at no.52, Pharrell Williams' 'Marilyn Monroe' at no.56 and MKTO's 'Classic' at no.57 for their first appearance on the big list.
Legendary Japanese R&B singer, fashion icon and former actress Namie Amuro shoots atop the Global Album Chart this week with her sixth compilation album 'Ballada'. According to Oricon the set sold massive 255.000 units in its initial week. Enough to overtake Coldplay's 'Ghost Stories', which topped the list the previous two weeks. In its third week on the tally it sold another 196.000 copies, a 42% sales decline compared to the prior week. That's a total of 1,56 million so far and as a result 'Ghost Stories' climbs to no.3 of the year-to-date list. American country star Miranda Lambert triumphs as the second highest debut of the week, her fifth album release 'Platinum' shoots at no.3 with 191.000 sales. Disney's soundtrack to the blockbuster 'Frozen' achieves an impressive chart-performance.

Also this week 'Frozen' ranks with another 140.000 sales at no.4, a total of 4,9 million after 28 weeks on the tally.
Rounds out the top five is Michael Jackson's posthumous album 'Xscape'. In its fourth week it slides from no.3 to no.5 with 102.000 sales, a total of 830.000 so far. But the big highlight of the week comes from the epic rock act Led Zeppelin. The band reissued expanded versions of its first three releases, 'Led Zeppelin', 'Led Zeppelin II' and 'Led Zeppelin III'. All three albums were huge sellers in the past and sold nearly 50 million copies together! The new versions of these albums bowing at no.6 (73.000 sales), respectively at no.7 (66.000 sales) and no.10 (64.000 sales). It's the first time since the week 11, 2012, that an act placed with three albums in the global top 10 at the same time. Shortly after her death, three of Whitney Houston's albums jumped in the top 10 in March 2012: 'Greatest Hits' reached no.2, 'The Ultimate Collection' no.5 and the soundtrack to 'Bodyguard' no.9 posthumous.

It was a tight race atop this week's Global Track Chart: Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' against Arashi's 'Dare Mo Shiranai'... and the winner is 'Happy'. The song returns at no.1, after it was overtaken last week by AKB 48's 'Labrador Retriever'. 'Happy' rules now for an unbelievable 18th week! Only one track in the last 60 years was longer atop the world chart, Bryan Adams' '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You' held the no.1 for 19 weeks in 1991. What will happen next week? Can 'Happy' stay also a 19th week at the summit? It shrinks 10% in points this week to 304.000, while the biggest rival Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' lost 9% in points to 282.000. It seems that both tracks have more losses next week. Certainly, 'Dare Mo Shiranai' by Japanese idol group Arashi has no chance for no.1, it will be throws down outside the Top 10 next week, but this week it bows at no.2 globally with 301.000 points. Back to Pharrell Williams, the top producer was altogether 31 weeks at no.1 in the last 13 months: 3 weeks with Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky', 10 weeks with Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' and now 18 weeks with 'Happy'.

The latter climbs two slots back to no.2 on the current weekly tally, but loses 10% in sales to 172.000 copies.
