If there was any question about this year's "Song of Summer," Robin Thicke has put that to rest this week, as the singer's "Blurred Lines," featuring Pharrell and T.I., ties Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, with six weeks at No. 1. Meanwhile, JAY Z and Justin Timberlake's "Holy Grail" debuts at No. 8, making it a short climb to top, should the song move in that direction (which is likely).

While all eyes are certainly on JAY Z's mammoth No. 1 debut this week with Magna Carta Holy Grail, he's not the only new entry in the top 10. Behind him at No. 2 is Ciara's self-titled fifth album, which sold 58,000 copies this past week. This is her fourth top three album. At No. 8, Skylar Grey makes her Interscope debut with Don't Look Down, which sold 24,000 units.
