"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth spends a second week atop the Hot 100 during its second reign at the peak of popular songs. That makes it eight weeks in total for "Again," joining a rather elite clientele among hip-hop songs to top the list for that long (it's going to have to find five more weeks at no. 1 to grab the record however, a tie between Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow"). Most of the Hot 100 love comes from the song's dominance on the radio airplay charts, where it received 171 million spins.
The no. 2 song, for a second week, is Taylor Swift and "Bad Blood," which stays strong thanks to high streaming numbers. Whether those numbers are good enough to get back to no. 1 remains to be seen (it's the only song to interrupt "See You Again" thus far). "Blood" was the most downloaded song of the last week again.
Swift doesn't have the top spot on the streaming charts however, as Hot 100's no. 3 song, "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap," ascends to the top for streaming numbers. Walk The Moon maintains a strong place in the pop charts (no. 4) thanks to its strong place in the rock charts: "Shut Up and Dance" has led the Hot Rock Songs for 11 weeks now.
Jason Derulo and "Want to Want Me" cracks the Top 5 for the first time, which explains his high placement on the Billboard 200 this week with Everything Is 4. Despite being outsold by four other new albums, Derulo's came in ahead of three of them on the 200 thanks to the high streaming and download numbers for "Want to Want Me" making up a significant chunk of "equivalent sales."
Mark Ronson and "Uptown Funk!" needed just one more week in the Top 5 to beat LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" for the most weeks in the first five spots ever. It won't happen this week however, as the former 14-week no. 1 falls to no. 6. Maybe next week?
The Weeknd's "Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey falls to no. 7 this week, while David Guetta's "Hey Mama" stays at no. 8, just as it stays at no. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic chart for an eighth week.
There is one new song this week: Andy Grammer and "Honey, I'm Good" rises from no. 11 to no. 9, marking his first time this high on the Hot 100. The new hit has returned his album Magazines or Novels to the Top 40 in the Billboard 200.
Maroon 5 hangs around with "Sugar," rounding off this week's Top 10.
