After taking out the January and February charts, Dr Luke has (finally!) been pipped to the post.

Despite missing out on top spot, Dr Luke again featured prominently with cuts on big singles by Flo Rida, Katy Perry and Jessie J.
Our chart highlights the amazing versatility and creativity of the minds behind the music. To find out more about how we calculate this charts using Billboard Radio Songs and Digital Songs data, check out the full methodology.
