Chart Watch: Gwen Stefani Edges Out Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift doesn't often finish second, but she's the runner-up in two respects on this week's Hot 100. Her former #1 smash "Shake It Off" logs its eighth week at #2 behind Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass." And her new "Welcome To New York" is the week's second-highest new entry at #48. It arrives two positions behind Gwen Stefani's "Baby Don't Lie."

"Baby Don't Lie" is vying to become Stefani's first top 10 hit since "The Sweet Escape" (featuring Akon) reached #2 in April 2007. The song will be featured on Stefani's third solo album; her first since The Sweet Escape in December 2006. Stefani's stint on The Voice has been well-received.

Don't feel too bad for Swift. She's a lock to enter next week's Billboard 200 at #1 with 1989. The album will make her the first artist ever to top the 1 million mark in weekly sales with three different albums.

The big news on this week's Hot 100 is Maroon 5's "Animals" jumping to #5, breaking up female artists' unprecedented, seven-week lock on the top five. That was the lead of a Chart Watch blog which we posted Wednesday. If you missed it, here's a link. This blog will deal with key debuts and moves below the top 10.
