Havana Brown continues her marathon rise up Billboard's Pop Songs chart with "We Run the Night," her debut dance/pop U.S. single.

The Australian singer/DJ's measured ascent on the Nielsen BDS-based mainstream top 40 airplay ranking marks a milestone, as "Night," featuring Pitbull, lifts 21-19 in its 19th week on the list. The song completes the longest climb to the chart's upper half in 14 years and the third-longest overall. Only Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" (22 weeks, 1998) and Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window" (20, 1994) logged longer trips to the chart's top 20.

Brown, born Angelique Meunier, signed with Island Records Australia in 2008 and performed on the Australian leg of Rihanna's tour later that year. She subsequently toured with acts including the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears and Chris Brown.

A version of "Night" without Pitbull reached No. 6 on the Australian Digital Songs chart last year before the rapper joined for its U.S. release (on Universal Republic). The track topped the Dance/Club Play Songs survey the week of March 10. The following frame, "Night" began its ascent on Pop Songs.

"With new artists, it just takes persistence," Universal Republic executive VP of promotion/artist development Joel Klaiman says. "We knew Havana Brown was special. She's a singer, a DJ, a performer. It took radio a minute to understand that she's so talented."


Klaiman credits Pop Songs reporter WPOI Tampa, Fla., which has played "Night" the most of any station monitored by BDS (2,045 detections through July 11), as key in igniting the song in the U.S. That WHTZ and WKTU New York added the song in January also helped smaller markets believe in its hit potential.

"'We Run the Night' has showed strong in audience research for us since we started playing it," WPOI program director Tim Clarke says. "Electronic/dance music is very strong right now, especially in Tampa." "Night" also adds balance, Clarke says. "It's the perfect dance/pop song to play in between Gotye and Katy Perry."

Klaiman recalls that despite star status in her home country, Brown was determined to work from the ground up to achieve U.S. success. "Very rarely do you see an international artist who's willing to put the time in here that she has. She's committed to promotional tours, radio shows and so much else."

The effort is clearly paying off in the Pop Songs advance of "Night," as well as 644,000 downloads sold for the song to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

I am sorry but they are honestly reaching if they think this girl has talent. To be quite honest, this girl is nothing special and there are many other DJ's who are just as capable/more capable than she is. WRTN is filled with overdone beats and auto-tune, though she is "something special"? Please, she is just another who will come and go. #TrueTea

[GaGaFan]

This is a really good song, honestly.

[potentbreakupsong]

[Mister Martian]

They will make a record for anything.

But congrats. This song is amazing.

[Ramcoro]

Yes I hope this joins the list of new artists getting hits this year.

[BadKidBrodie]

I'M SO HAPPY FOR HER
