Already boasting an action-packed bill, Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards will fire out of the cannon with a ‘Bang Bang’. For, it has been confirmed that three of Pop’s hottest properties will be taking to the stage at the 2014 instalment of the event.

Well, that escalated quickly!

After hitting #1 on Itunes just hours after its premiere, talented trio Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj have taken their blazing single ‘Bang Bang’ right to Billboard’s upper rankings!

Storming the Hot 100 with reports of the second highest first week sales of the year, the news come as yet another win for Grande who still holds the title for the year’s biggest debut with ‘Problem’ (which clocked over 430k sold its first week of digital availability).

As the diva syndicate’s accompanying visual readies the extension of the song’s onslaught of charts, it may take an act of magic to get the tally’s current reigning champ unseated.  As MAGIC!‘s ‘Rude’ readies another week run atop the Hot 100, will Jessie J and co. have what it take to dethrone the island anthem?  Or, will silent assassin Sam Smith and hit tune ‘Stay With Me’ make its way in for the kill?

Alas, all good things must come to an end.  As its Rita Ora-assisted followup ‘Black Widow’ continues its climb up the tally, tuck in below to see whose ‘Rude’ hit put a not-so-kind halt to ‘Fancy’s tenure atop the Hot 100 and what other movers and shakers could be next in line to lead:
