It's the summer of "Blurred Lines." No doubt about that. The R&B/pop crossover hit from Canadian crooner Robin Thicke (featuring Pharrell and T.I.) has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the fifth week in a row.

According to Billboard, "Blurred Lines" claims the title of the No. 1 song in the country for yet another week, selling over 400,000 digital copies for the third week in a row and rising to the No. 1 slot on the Radio Songs chart.

The massive single rocketed to popularity not just for its funky beat and saucy lyrics but due to its mixture of rock, pop, R&B and rap, making it massively appealing to music fans of all types. The scandalous video, which has racked up controversy for being sexist didn't hurt either.

Both Thicke and the clip's director Diane Martel have denied that the video is misogynist in any form. Thicke also claimed in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that "Blurred Lines" lyrics are empowering to women, not degrading.

"Blurred Lines" isn't the only song that's stuck in the same position on the Hot 100. Daft Punk and Pharrell's "Get Lucky" remains at No. 2 for a fourth week, Miley Cyrus is at No. 3 for the second week in a row, and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" is still at No. 4.

Numbers 7-9 remain the same too. Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors," Bruno Mars' "Treasure" and Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It" all remain in the same spots. The lone songs to swap places in the top 10 are Georgia Florida Line feat. Nelly's "Cruise" and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us," which are now at 5 and 6, respectively.

Anna Kendrick's "Cups" from Pitch Perfect rises to the top 10 at No. 10 this week, the lone debut in the list.
