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'. Three other songs enter the current Top 40: 'Your Scent' by Gary & Jung bows at no.1 in South Korea and goes to no.21 globally with 102.000 points. Close behind at no.22 with 98.000 points lands the new 5 Second Of Summer single 'Good Girls'. And finally the topical chart leader from United Kingdom, 'I Wanna Feel' by SecondCity, comes in at no.29 with 76.000 points. Outside the top 40 waiting among other Disclosure's 'Latch' at no.42, Nicki Minaj's 'Pills N Potion' at no.49, Real Madrid feat. Redone's 'Hala Madrid... Y Nada Más' at no.55, MKTO's 'Classic' at no.57, Enrique Iglesias' 'Bailando' at no.58 and Pharrell Williams' 'Marilyn Monroe' at no.59 for their first appearance on the big list.
