Like most statistics across multiple time periods, not a one to one comparison without adjustments

I need closure on Closer.

It dropped to #13, probably below Bounce Back and Rockabye
Above new Nicki
Wondering how bad Chained fell this week

Probably 15. Bounce Back is #11, Rockabye is #12, Closer is #13, No Frauds is #14, so Chained must be #15.

That's possible but It Ain't Me could have gone to 15 as well, or maybe even Body Like A Back Road? (hope not)

Ed Sheeran Leads Hot 100 for Eighth Week, KYLE Hits Top 10

Ed Sheeran performs onstage at A+E Networks 'Shining A Light' concert at The Shrine Auditorium on Nov. 18, 2015 in Los Angeles.


Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" tops the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 1) for an eighth week. Meanwhile, rapper KYLE notches his first Hot 100 top 10 with "iSpy," featuring Lil Yachty.

As on every Monday, let's all do some spying on the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 21.

As it continues to rule the Hot 100, Sheeran's "Shape," released on Atlantic Records, also logs an eighth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart (104,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen Music), as well as a sixth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (165 million in audience, up 3 percent, in the week ending March 19). It leads Streaming Songs for a second frame (47.8 million U.S. streams, down 6 percent, in the week ending March 16) and the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs survey for a fourth week (21.1 million on-demand clicks, down 14 percent).

As previously reported, Sheeran's LP, ÷ (Divide), featuring "Shape," spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with 180,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 16.

Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like" hits a new peak on the Hot 100, rising 3-2 as it continues to build momentum after its official video arrived March 1. The track jumps 7-4 on Streaming Songs (27 million) and 7-5 on Radio Songs (87 million, up 17 percent), while dipping 2-3 on Digital Song Sales (78,000, down 18 percent).

Notably, with Sheeran's "Shape" and Mars' "Like" at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, Atlantic Records boasts the Hot 100's top two titles for the first time since Feb. 19, 2011, and that chart also featured Mars at No. 2: that week, Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" (on Atlantic/RRP) bounded 4-1, dethroning Mars' "Grenade" after four weeks at No. 1.

Until this week, no label had doubled up at Nos. 1 and 2 since Feb. 13, 2016, when Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" and "Sorry," on Republic Records, held the top two spots, respectively.

Meanwhile, "Like" logs a fifth week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, while becoming Mars' first No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Of his prior entries on the latter list, he'd reached a high of No. 3 with "24K Magic" in December.

Migos' "Bad and Boujee," featuring Lil Uzi Vert, dips 2-3 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Still, "Bad" tops the Hot Rap Songs chart for an 11th week.

Zayn and Taylor Swift's "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100 after hitting No. 2, gaining by 56 percent to 58,000 downloads sold, boosted by a 69-cent iTunes Store sale price.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, The Weeknd's "I Feel It Coming," featuring Daft Punk, blasts to a new high (12-5), besting its prior No. 9 peak. The Weeknd achieves his fifth top five Hot 100 hit, and Daft Punk its third (and second as featured on a track by The Weeknd; prior single "Starboy" topped the Jan. 7 chart). "Feel" keeps at No. 4 on Radio Songs (97 million, up 3 percent) and flies 24-8 on Digital Songs Sales (55,000, up 78 percent) and 49-20 on Streaming Songs (14.8 million, up 46 percent), sparked by both the premiere of its official video on March 9 and an iTunes discount to 69 cents.

Kodak Black's first Hot 100 top 10, "Tunnel Vision," bullets for a second week at its No. 6 high and Rihanna's "Love on the Brain" retreats 5-7. A week ago, the ballad became Rihanna's 22nd top five hit, breaking her out of a fifth-place tie with Elvis Presley (21); the only artists with more top five Hot 100 hits than Rihanna: The Beatles (29), Madonna (28), Mariah Carey (26) and Janet Jackson (24).

The Chainsmokers chart two songs in the Hot 100's top 10: "Something Just Like This," with Coldplay, rebounds 11-8 after reaching No. 5, while leading the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a second (nonconsecutive) week, and "Paris" descends from No. 7 to No. 9 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 6.

The Chainsmokers have now spent 46 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100's top 10, dating to May 21, 2016 (and encompassing four top 10s). The duo ties Rihanna for the fourth-longest top 10 streak all-time and is within two weeks of matching Ace of Base's record for a duo or group. Here's an update among all acts:

69 weeks in the Hot 100's top 10, Katy Perry, 2010-11
51 weeks, Drake, 2015-16
48 weeks, Ace of Base, 1993-94
46 weeks, The Chainsmokers, 2016-17
46 weeks, Rihanna, 2010-11
45 weeks, The Weeknd, 2015

(Meanwhile, The Chainsmokers' former 12-week Hot 100 No. 1 "Closer," featuring Halsey, departs the top 10 after 32 weeks in the region, remaining tied for the most top 10 weeks in the chart's history with LeAnn Rimes' 1997-98 smash "How Do I Live." Having spent all of its 32 weeks in the top 10 from its debut at No. 9 on Aug. 20, "Closer" also wraps its record for the most frames that a song has spent in the top tier from a debut week.)

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Los Angeles-area rapper KYLE leaps to his first top 10, as "iSpy," featuring Lil Yachty, surges 14-10 following the March 6 arrival of its official lyric video. The single backtracks 4-5 on Streaming Songs, but with a 9 percent gain to 24 million, and jumps 21-16 on Digital Song Sales (33,000, essentially even week-over-week), while adding 26 million (up 21 percent) in airplay audience.

Lil Yachty earns his second Hot 100 top 10; he hit No. 5 in November as featured on D.R.A.M.'s "Broccoli."

Find out more Hot 100 news in the weekly "Hot 100 Chart Moves" column later this week, and visit Billboard.com tomorrow (March 21), when all charts, including the Hot 100 in its entirety, will refresh. The Hot 100 and other charts will also appear in the next issue of Billboard magazine, on sale Friday (March 24).

iSpy YES DREAMS DO COME TRUE

How is this the first time since 2011 that Atlantic had the top 2 spots? These same 2 artists had the top 2 locked up in 2015, and they were both still on Atlantic then.

Speaking of which, wow, I am getting a lot of 2015 flashbacks with this top 10. Ed and Bruno at the top, 50 Shades a little further down, a couple middling Rihanna and Taylor Swift singles, and The Weeknd in there as well. The order of some of these things are a bit different (like Taylor being on the 50 shades song instead of The Weeknd), but overall we seem to have come full circle. Oh, and a new Fast and the Furious movie is coming out, so maybe that will impact soon.

UF was Mark Ronson's song, Bruno was only featured.

Actually it was Mark Ronson technically, not Bruno.

Goddamit "Closer" :(

Well the "Starships" record stands at 32 weeks. That may where the LeAnn record stands too barring any sudden reversals in the next week or two

I love that we still call it the "Starships" record even though it's been tied or broken three times now. But yeah, "the "Starships" record" just sounds better than "the "Closer" record" for some reason (and I don't even mean that as a slight to "Closer", I guess I'm just used to thinking of it as the "Starships" record.)

I'm more interested in Million Reasons. The song is doing impressively well on Radio, I'm starting to hear it a lot. I'm interested to see how far it recovers. 

It's gonna fall hard this week. Streaming is virtually non-existent now and it fell a lot in digital sales because the discount was removed. However, its airplay is still gaining and it has stabilized on iTunes in the lower 20s/upper 30s. I don't ever see it recovering to the top ten on the Hot 100, but it could eventually find its way back into the top 20 if sales continue to hold decently with its airplay gains. It's really heading for smash territory on hot AC radio. It's currently number 11 there with the largest bullet on the chart! It's definitely heading at the very least top five on that format. Top ten is still questionable on pop, though. It's seeing good gains still, but there's a lot of competition right now that could keep it out. It's current number 15 there with a fairly strong bullet, but it's still about 3500 spins from the top ten with "Something Like This" and "Stay" closing in on it. "Down," "It Ain't Me," and "Cold" are all also above it showing healthy gains and pushing towards the top ten. I really want to see it make the top ten on pop, but I just don't think it's going to happen with all of this competition.

Bruno Mars only appeared as courtesy of Atlantic on "Uptown Funk," but "Uptown Funk" was released through RCA because it's Mark Ronson's song.

I'm sad Closer didn't break the Top 10 record - though I suppose there's always a chance it could move back up for some reason.

[truemusicreviews]

I just got back from Memphis and "Million Reasons" is all over the radio there. I think the song may rack up just enough points to notch a spot at the bottom of the year-end list.

Maybe it'll gain upon the album release, or The Chainsmokers will discount it.

Glad That's What I Like is #2! The video is really good and something people will really share and watch over and over again, clever

How Do I Live & Closer achieving the same feat, though one is clearly way superior to the other

To early to tell for Closer.   "Classics" generally are not labeled that way this quickly

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

No kidding. Definitely Closer > How Do I Live in my book.

If any song from the 2010's could be labeled a classic I'd say it's Closer. That or Rolling In The Deep, those two just had a stranglehold on culture during their peaks and are both great songs. 

Also not to diverge the thread much I never really was that big of a fan of How Do I Live and I'm not sure why people think it's so great, I like Leann Rimes songs with more focus on interesting melody like I Need You and especially Can't Fight The Moonlight.
