Jessie J fails to topple Taylor Swift on top of Philippine Charts

It was a tough battle to number one, as Jessie J's "Flashlight" climb up to #2 and reached the top 3 positions in more than 13 charts in the Philippines for week ending June 30, 2015.

However, this wasn't enough as Taylor Swift's more than 10 chart-topping positions plus her inclusion in more than 27 charts secured her 3rd straight week at #1.  Jessie J on the other hand only manage to enter in 24 charts out of the more than 40 available chart shows.

Jessie J leads the pop radio format and digital downloads charts, while Taylor Swift sweep the Hot Top 40 radio audience.

Apart from Taylor who's a non-mover at no.1, 5 other songs managed to occupy their same post from previous week, this include:  One Direction – No Control (#7), Fifth Harmony feat Kid Ink – Worth It (#13),  Deorro & Chris Brown – Five More Hours (#23), Jason Dy – Caught In That Feeling (#30) and Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk (#40).

The week's biggest gainers, include: Brandon Beal feat Christopher – Twerk It Like Miley (up 10 places, 18-8); Juan Karlos Labajo – Runaway Baby (up 9 spots,  28-19); Little Mix – Black Magic (up by 8 places, 17-9)  and Owl City feat Aloe Blacc – Verge (gained 8 spots,  34-26).

Meanwhile, not so lucky this week is Nadine Lustre whose 2 songs belong to the biggest loser group, which include: Me And You (down 6 places, 10-16) and her duet with James Reid, Hanap Hanap (down 6 places, 16-22).

Also dropping 6 to 7 spots this week were songs from Jason Derulo, Carly Rae Jepsen and Bryan Termulo.

Jason DeRulo – Want To Want Me (dropped 7 places, 14-21)
Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You (down 7 places, 31-38)
Bryan Termulo – Erase Ka Na Sa Puso Ko (dropped 6 places, 26-32)

 
Also bad news for Tove Lo and 1D fans, their songs are out of the top 40 this week. Talking Body only managed to spend 3 weeks and peaked at #33 , while Stockholm Syndrome spent a total of 14 weeks and peaked at #12 (one of the few 1D singles not to crack the top 10).

Replacing the 2 songs are re-entries from The Vamps – Risk It All (#36) and Sia – Chandelier (#37). Which means there are zero new entries this week.
