This was really a no-brainer. Chart newcomers
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis may have gotten a good start with the growing worldwide hit
Thrift Shop four weeks ago, but when their track
Can't Hold Us featuring
Ray Dalton started off at lucky #7 a week later, the road to the top was paved and they're now crowned kings of the Songs chart for the first time, and with good chances of staying there for what's left of 2012. As for
Thrift Shop, the song was just shy of breaking the Top 10, and jumps to #11 this time around.
