3/13 Chart Highlights: Oscars hop "Let It Go" into Top 10; Rick Ross, Pharrell, Lea Michelle debut big

Pharrell Williams and Idina Menzel benefit from raved performances at the Oscars on March 2, as the first full week of tallies following the Oscars feeds into this week's Hot 100 rating. Pharrell holds his top spot on the chart for a third consecutive week with "Happy," while Idina sails 17-9 with Oscar-winning song "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen, knocking "Say Something" by A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera out of the top 10. The position marks the Broadway star's first top 10 hit on the chart. All other top 10 songs stand still with John Legend's "All of Me" and Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" swapping spots.

Five albums debuted last week in the top 10, including Rick Ross's Mastermind, the rapper's fifth album to debut atop the Billboard 200. Coming in at #2 is Pharrell Williams' second album G I R L, which was released Monday, March 3, the day after the singer-rapper's Oscar performance, prompting all other major releases to follow suit by going on sale Monday rather than the trending Tuesday release. Glee-star Lea Michelle debuted her first solo album Louder at #4, while Eli Young Band debuted their fifth album 10,000 Towns at #5, a record-high chart and sales week for the country group. Lorde finds her way back into the top 10, ascending 11-7, while Ashanti rounds out at #10 with her new album Braveheart, which also features #1 position-taker Rick Ross.
