The times, they are a changin'. Today (July 13) marks the first time in its history that Billboard has released its charts on a Monday (following the implementation of a universal Friday release date), and with the new chart date, we have a new No. 1. After weeks of vaulting up the charts, OMI's crossover reggae hit "Cheerleader" has unseated longtime chart topper "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa at the top spot.
OMI knocks "See You Again" from the top spot after Khalifa's smash hit spent 12 weeks at No. 1, according to Billboard. The new No. 1 comes thanks to massive sales, as "Cheerleader" moved 276,000 copies over the last 11 days in the transitionary period between chart weeks. But sales alone did not move "See You Again" from the top spot, as "Cheerleader" made sizable gains in streams and radio play.
"Cheerleader" marks the first No. 1 for Jamaican singer OMI. The song, originally released in 2013, got a renewed life thanks to a bumping remix by Felix Jaehn.
As "Cheerleader" takes over the No. 1 slot, "See You Again" falls to No. 2 yet again. Khalifa previously held the spot when Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" overtook the charts for one week in May.
Beneath Khalifa, another song makes a momentous rise up the charts; The Weeknd's latest single "Can't Feel My Face" rose from No. 6 to No. 3. "Can't Feel My Face" is the second song from The Weeknd to reach this peak, and he achieves the heightened number thanks to massive support from radio (110 million audience impressions) and a No. 1 spot on the On-Demand Songs chart.
Beneath The Weeknd, Swift holds at No. 4 with "Bad Blood," just two slots above familiar Hot 100 singles Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and "Shut Up and Dance" from Walk the Moon, which hold at Nos. 6 and 7, respectively.
Above Wap's "Trap Queen," Silento's dance craze "Watch Me (The Whip/Nae Nae)" fell from No. 3 to No. 5.
To round out the top 10, Rachel Platten's inspirational new anthem "Fight Song" continues its battle to the top, rising two spots to No. 8. Jack Ü's "Where Are Ü Now" fell one spot to No. 9, and David Guetta's "Hey Mama" featuring Nicki Minaj rounds it all out at No. 10.
