Taylor Swift may be able to shake off a lot of things: players, haters, heartbreakers, fakers... and now she can add off every other mainstream artist. For the fourth week total and the second in a row, Swift's first single from 1989, the infectious "Shake It Off" leads the Billboard Hot 100 as the number one song in America. While Swift dances atop the charts again, Ariana Grande and The Weeknd are coming for her, as their collaborative My Everything single "Love Me Harder" vaults into the top 10.
Swift beats herself this week, topping the Hot 100 for the fourth week with "Shake It Off," according to Billboard. Despite her superstar status, Swift has only topped the Hot 100 three times with the same single, 2012's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," marking yet another success that 1989 can boast.
"Shake It Off" leads the Hot 100 tops the Streaming Songs chart, largely thanks to fan-created music videos and, of course, Swift's own adorkably viral clip. Despite dropping off from Spotify, the track was streamed 1.6 million times this week. However, Swift disappears from the Subscription-Based Streaming Chart, thanks to her Spotify withdrawal.
The top two remain locked from last week, as Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" holds at No. 2 for the second week in a row. Trainor and Swift have absolutely dominated this fall; it's been 13 weeks since someone who was not them held with the No. 1 or No. 2 spot on the charts.
Beneath those juggernauts, Maroon 5's latest V single "Animals" lands at No. 3, thanks to a bump in radio play (129 million audience impressions), digital downloads (115,000) and streams (5.3 million). Maroon 5's rise in chart positions means Tove Lo's debut single "Habits (Stay High)" fell to No. 4, despite being the most-played song on U.S. radio.
Much of the chart feels familiar this week, with Jessie J's Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj assisted single "Bang Bang" holding on in the top 10 at No. 5 this week, followed by this fall's hottest rap riser Bobby Shmurda with "Hot Boy" at No. 6. Hozier brought more people to church this week with "Take Me to Church," as he rises two spots to No. 8, Iggy Azalea barely hangs on to the top 10 this week with "Black Widow" at No. 9 and Jeremih's "Don't Tell 'Em" rounds things out at No. 10.
Though much of the Hot 100 is a familiar tale, leave it to Ariana Grande to shake things up. After her music video with The Weeknd for "Love Me Harder" debuted on Nov. 3, the song vaulted into the top 10 at No. 7 thanks to 7.6 million streams.
