Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’ Dips On ‘UK Airplay Chart’ / Rita Ora Heads To #1

Published: Wednesday 28th May 2014 by David

Complied by ‘Radio Monitor‘, the ‘UK Radio Airplay Chart‘ pulls data from 316 stations within the UK to create a weekly tally, listing the highest spun acts in the country at the time of its publication.

Fortunately for ‘Radioactive’ chanteuse Rita Ora, this week brings with it good news found on said chart, revealing that her new single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ is  now on course to being the highest played jam on British radio, well after it peaked at #1 on the ‘Official Singles Chart’

What Katy Perry‘s got to do with it?

Find out below…

As Sam Smith‘s ‘Stay With Me’ sits at #1, Rita vies for the top spot with ‘Down‘ this week, leaping two spots to claim the #2 spot as Pharrell Williams’Happy’ slides one place down to #3.

Meanwhile, as Perry watches her Urban single  ‘Dark Horse‘ slip  and slide out of the Top 20 to claim #23, her latest effort ‘Birthday‘ now joins Rita in the race for #1,after rising by #11 spots to land at #4, perched at the position with a far better view of the top spot.

Should its spins decrease in the next week, Ora’s feel good ‘Down‘ may find itself booted from its current position to make way for the rising ‘Birthday’, performed during her ‘BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend’ set on May 25th.

On lower ground, Iggy Azalea‘s ‘Fancy’ drops two spots down to make nice with #30, as Michael Jackson‘s ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ closes the Top 10 at #10, after sitting at #16 last week, now placed five spots beneath John Legend‘s ‘All of Me.’

  3. Death becomes her May 28, 2014

    Ugh birthday is such a basic song and the video is beyond cheesy I really hope for the sake of her artistry she releases something more mature for her next I’m not here for this preschool mess of an era I know she cater to her fans ( kindergarten to 5th grade) but seriously Katy grow up if you want to be taken serious one day you have potential.

    • GaGa’s Tampon May 28, 2014

      The song is laced with sexual innuendos but the video .. Sigh

      DEATH!!!

    • rihanna RUNS THE GAME May 28, 2014

      HER SONG IS THE MOST PLAYED JAM IN LONDON yet she spent one week at number 1 and 6 weeks after her promo tour in USA HER SONG has STILL FAILED TO CHART.

  5. Death becomes her May 28, 2014

    Omg breaking Maya Angelou passed away! RIP she was an amazing writer sad day.

  6. LovebirdTGJ May 28, 2014

    The best song she has ever recorded (walking on air) is collecting dust; her mature offerings like double rainbow, this moment, it takes two are being treated as album filler.

    This chick really doesn’t want to be taken seriously with these Nick Jr offerings she keeps polluting our ears with.

    • P**** Juice Lover May 28, 2014

      But u stanned for roar and called it original

  7. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 28, 2014

      • LovebirdTGJ May 28, 2014

        Nice try.

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 28, 2014

        Death @ the Ciara Stan trolling as Lovebird. #StayPressed

  8. charts for blah May 28, 2014

    what about it? nothing wrong with a fresh song replacing some old horse sh*t. radio charts are irrelevant anyway. payolad and mainstream trends are always played to death. auto-1.

  9. P**** Juice Lover May 28, 2014

    Just release walking on air and legendary lovers and be gone bitchh

    • CT May 28, 2014

      That should have been her second single it would have been number 1.

  10. IStanForYourFav May 28, 2014

    Cute pic. As for her music, I have nothing to say. I’m not 11 years old.

    • coolness May 28, 2014

      You weren’t right for that lmao!

  11. Truth Tea May 28, 2014

    Why is Rita nabbing the records for most solo female #1’s in UK (from Beyonce and Geri) but still can’t break the US Top 40?

    • Jill May 30, 2014

      Because they don’t really play her songs on the radio. I don’t know if they’re paying to put her pics in magazines but they should pay to put her songs on the radio instead.

  12. Rosie May 28, 2014

    Post about Fancy going #1 in the US! Poor all other female rappers.

  13. LTM May 28, 2014

    Dark Horse does not want to give up the throne and let Birthday shine. Tbh, I’m kinda over campy Katy Perry. Birthday is hands down her worse music video. I prefer mature Katy (Unconditionally, Thinking of You). Im here for Legendary Lovers as the next single.

  14. RihIcon May 28, 2014

    I will never break the us & failedpayoladay

  15. iheartpopculture May 28, 2014

    The kiddies tunes have worked 4 Kitty Purry her serious songs fail harder than Unconditionally & Not like in the movies
