Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS: No two ways about it, the Adele parallels are getting more tantalizing with every day that passes, as Sam Smith’s still-growing “Stay With Me” outsells the rest of the field for the second straight week, even if the week in question was pulled down by the traditionally soft Fourth of July holiday. Sam leads the youth movement that has become one of 2014’s most compelling—and encouraging—plotlines, as Magic!’s hit songwriter turned artist Nasri Atweh, Australia’s Iggy Azalea and 5 Seconds of Summer, diva in waiting Ariana Grande, Euro newcomers Nico & Vinz and newly minted hip-hop star Jason Derulo dominate the leaderboard.

1. Sam Smith, “Stay With Me” – 186k
2. Magic!, “Rude” – 180k
3. Iggy Azalea f/Charli XCX, “Fancy” – 171k
4. 5 Seconds of Summer, “Amnesia” – 162k
5. Ariana Grande f/Zedd, “Break Free” – 161k
6. Ariana Grande f/ Iggy Azalea, “Problem” – 146k
7. Nico & Vinz, “Am I Wrong” – 126k
8. Jason Derulo f/Snoop Dogg, “Wiggle” – 120k
9. Maroon 5, “Maps” – 104k
10. Charli XCX, “Boom Clap” – 97k

Poised to crash the Top 10 is Sia, whose “Chandelier” (#13-12, 88k, +9%) amounts to a picture-perfect lead-in to 1000 Forms of Fear, the current favorite to top next week’s album chart. (7/10a)
