Staying at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums for a second week is Pharrell's "G I R L" with a 2 percent decrease to 25,000 sold. The home to his infectious "Happy" has sold 242,000 to date. YG's "My Krazy Life" (16,000, down 28 percent) and Rick Ross' "Mastermind" (15,000, down 19 percent) hold tight at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, while John Legend's "Love in the Future" skips 6-4 with a 4 percent increase to 14,000 copies to re-enter the top five. Legend's move pushes "Beyonce" down 4-5 (13,000, down 13 percent).
Pharrell also retains the top spot on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as "Happy" posts a ninth consecutive week at No. 1. John Legend's "All of Me" stays at No. 2 despite earning the Airplay and Streaming Gainer awards for rising 9 percent to 177.5 million listener impressions and 11 percent to 8 million U.S. streams, respectively, according to Nielsen BDS.
Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" (featuring 2 Chainz) and Aloe Blacc's "The Man" hold onto the Nos. 3 and 4 positions, respectively, while Chris Brown's "Loyal" (featuring Lil Wayne & French Montana or Too $hort or Tyga) enters the top five for the first time with a 6-5 step in its 12th week. Brown's last top five hit as a lead artist was 2012's "Strip" (featuring Kevin K-Mac McCall), which peaked at No. 3.
Kid Ink's "Show Me" (featuring Brown) moves 7-6 in its 25th week on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, while Beyonce's "Drunk in Love" (featuring Jay Z) tumbles 5-7 in its continued decline from No. 1 on the chart dated Feb. 15. Trey Songz' "Na Na" (9-8) overtakes Eminem's "The Monster" (featuring Rihanna) (8-9) for a new peak and Beyonce's "Partition" moves 12-10 to re-enter and close out the top 10. "Partition" peaked at No. 9 on the March 15 chart but will likely beat that mark as radio continues to grow the song. On the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart, the cut jumps 3-1 to become Bey's 10th No. 1, extending her record for the most leaders among women.
