The minimalist alt-soul jam "I Heard" by Anticon's Young Fathers soars after playing on a Ray Donovan episode, and hip-hop youngsters Rae Sremmurd (say it backwards) ride a viral wave with "No Flex Zone."
Meanwhile, K-Pop girls 2NE1, who've amassed nearly 100m YouTube views for "I Am the Best," inspire much phone-pointing thanks to a canny Microsoft spot.
Also making huge moves: Interscope's U2 with "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)," so suck it, haters.
In the rankings, the Top 5 stays put but RCA's Mr. Probz, the "Bang Bang" girls (Lava/Republic) and Warner Bros.' Echosmith enter the Top 10.

On the U.K. side, U2 and Young Fathers were also big jumpers, while EDM jam "I Loved You" by Parlophone's Blonde makes the biggest gains; Steve Aoki and Ella Henderson also make big strides.
In the rankings, Lilly Wood & The Prick & Robin Schulz's "Prayer in C" and Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" hold the top two spots, while Calvin Harris' buzzing "Blame" moves up to #3.
