Robin Thicke Ties Personal Record Atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs


Billboard.com:
As "Blurred Lines" picks up an 11th week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Robin Thicke ties his personal longest No. 1 run on the chart set with "Lost Without U" in 2007. "Blurred Lines" is poised to tack on additional chart-topping weeks as it continues to increase its R&B/hip-hop audience reach, rising 1% to 22.9 million listener impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

The track's reign on the Adult R&B airplay chart (viewable at billboard.biz) also rolls into its third week, while Thicke simultaneously breaks into the top 10 with follow-up single "For the Rest of My Life" (11-10). Only one other artist has posted two concurrent top 10s at the format this year: Tamar Braxton with "Love & War" and "The One" in three frames last month. No artists achieved this feat in 2012.

Though staying put at No. 2 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake, jumps 13-8 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay marking the rapper's 29th top 10 hit on the list. Jay now sits in third place for most top 10s among all acts in the nearly 21-year history of the chart, trailing Lil Wayne (40), Drake (33), and R. Kelly (30).
