Top SongsThe Chainsmokers’ “Closer” (featuring Halsey) tops the Hot 100 for the eighth straight week. The song also heads Top Digital Songs for the ninth week (with sales of 123K this week). “Closer” is one week away from tying Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” for most weeks at #1 on the digital sales chart so far this year.
The Chainsmokers have two other songs in this week’s top 20. The duo’s previous hit, “Don’t Let Me Down” (featuring Daya), holds at #9 in its 33rd week. Their new song, “All We Know” (featuring Phoebe Ryan), is the week’s top new entry at #18. It’s vying to become the duo’s fourth top 10 hit in a row. Each of those three previous singles has sold 1.3 million or more copies. They have sold a combined total of 4,476,000 copies, and they’re still going strong.
The Weeknd’s “Starboy” (featuring Daft Punk) jumps from #3 to #2 in its third week. It’s The Weeknd’s third song to reach the top two; Daft Punk’s second. That duo’s 2003 smash “Get Lucky” (with Pharrell Williams) logged five weeks in the runner-up spot. “Starboy” holds at #1 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for the second week.
twenty one pilots’ “Heathens” dips from #2 to #3 in its 16th week.
Justin Bieber is featured on a pair of top five hits for the third week in a row. Major Lazer’s “Cold Water” (which also features MØ) holds at #4 its 11th week. DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You” holds at #5 in its ninth week.
D.R.A.M.’s “Broccoli” (featuring Lil Yachty) jumps from #8 to #6 in its 17th week.
Shawn Mendes’s “Treat You Better” dips from #6 to #7 in its 18th week.
Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” (featuring Sean Paul) dips from #7 to #8 in its 34th week.
Gnash’s “I Hate You, I Love You” (featuring Olivia O’Brien) jumps from #13 to #10 in its 25th week. Billboard‘s Gary Trust reports that this is the slowest-climbing top 10 hit in nearly three years — since Imagine Dragons’ “Demons,” which took 27 weeks to finally break into the top 10.
Calvin Harris’s “This Is What You Came For” (featuring Rihanna) drops out of the top 10 this week.
Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side” (featuring Nicki Minaj) jumps from #19 to #12 in its sixth week. It’s the third top 15 hit from Grande’s third album, Dangerous Woman. Her sophomore album, My Everything, spawned five top 15 hits.
Singer/actress Hailee Steinfeld lands her first top 20 hit as “Starving,” a collabo with the brother duo Grey which features EDM star Zedd, jumps from #24 to #20 in its 10th week. Paul Revere & The Raiders had a top 10 hit in 1966 titled “Hungry,” but this new song goes even further along the hunger spectrum.
Niall Horan’s first solo single, “This Town,” vaults from #63 to #25 in third week.
X Ambassadors’ “Unsteady” and Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” both top the
1 million mark in digital sales this week.
