The seemingly inevitable has happened... a new song has taken the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. After spending 14 weeks at the top of the charts, Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson's genre-bending single "Uptown Funk" has finally been dethroned by the Furious 7 soundtrack single "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. -
'Furious 7' Tops Billboard 200 Thanks to Wiz Khalifa; Taylor Swift Sets Mark and All Time Low Hits All Time High
If you've watched Fast Five, you know that Vin Diesel's character Dominic Toretto knows that it's all about how you finish, not how you begin (although he allows Paul Walker's Brian to win the four-man street race in Brazil). The Furious 7 soundtrack is living that philosophy as it reached the no. 1 place on the Billboard 200 four weeks after its release. Part of last week's 111,000 equivalent album sales is thanks to the film's continued success at the box office, but an even bigger part of it is the popularity of "See You Again," the single from Wiz Khalifa that's tearing up the download charts. All Time Low and Taylor Swift place well as well. -

Stars... they're just like us, because they love Game of Thrones and totally geek out about it. At the very least, that's something that Ed Sheeran does. For his birthday, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer was gifted Jon Snow's sword by a New Zealand radio station, and he totally lost his cool. -

Ed Sheeran Comes to 'Sesame Street' with Adorable New Song 'Two Different Worlds' [WATCH]
Ed Sheeran has probably not attended school in quite some time... but that doesn't mean the 24-year-old "Thinking Out Loud" singer can't teach a few lessons on how to behave when it's learning time.

Kendrick Lamar, 'Empire,' Action Bronson and Earl Sweatshirt Help Hip-Hop Dominate Album Sales Chart
The past few weeks have been amazing for hip-hop, as the Empire soundtrack and Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly have led both the Billboard 200 to three straight weeks of rap at no. 1. Although it's only been a two-week streak on the Album Sales chart (Empire was outsold by Madonna's Rebel Heart during its first week), this week is still newsworthy as the Top 3 spots on the chart are all held by hip-hop albums. -
Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars' 'Uptown Funk' Sets Hot 100 Record as Natalie La Rose 'Somebody' Breaks Into Top 10
"Uptown Funk" is gonna give it to ya, all you other songs from the 2010s. For the 13th week in a row, the Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson Uptown Special single tops the Billboard Hot 100, setting the record for the longest-reigning No. 1 song of the decade. And while there seems to be no end in sight for the dominance of the funky throwback anthem, a newcomer, pop singer Natalie La Rose emerges in the top 10 with her single "Somebody" featuring Jeremih. -
Kendrick Lamar First Performer with Two Weeks Atop Billboard 200 Since Taylor Swift; First R&B/Hip-Hop Artist Since Beyonce
Kendrick Lamar and To Pimp A Butterfly pulled off something that few performers outside of Taylor Swift have managed to wrangle in the last few months: holding the no. 1 position on the Billboard 200 for more than one week. The album spent a second week at the top spot on the chart-the only performer aside from Swift (who spent a total of 11 weeks at no. 1 with 1989) to have done so since November, having sold 123,000 equivalent units during its second full week of sales. The accomplishment is even more relevant for the R&B/Hip-Hop genres, where Butterfly becomes the first album since 2013's Beyoncé to spend multiple weeks at no. 1. -
