Hot 100: The Weeknd’s “The Hills” Stays #1, Fetty Wap Goes Top 5, Shawn Mendes Top 10

For the third straight week, The Weeknd’s “The Hills” claims #1 on the all-encompassing Billboard Hot 100.

“The Hills” also tops each of the Hot 100’s key subcharts. It is the first song since Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” to achieve such a feat.

“The Hills” tops Digital Songs with 105,000 weekly US sales, Radio Songs with 146 million weekly US impressions and Streaming Songs with 18.5 million weekly US streams.

Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” remains in the runner-up spot. Fellow Canadian artist Drake follows at #3 with “Hotline Bling.”

In reaching #3, “Hotline Bling” becomes Drake’s highest-charting hit since his debut Hot 100 entry “Best I Ever Had.” That song peaked at #2.

The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” (#4) and Fetty Wap’s “679 (#5) complete the Top 5. The latter makes its inaugural appearance in the Top 5.

R. City’s “Locked Away (featuring Adam Levine)” (#6), Silento’s “Watch Me” (#7), Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” (#8), Shawn Mendes’ “Stitches” (#9), and Selena Gomez’ “Good For You (featuring A$AP Rocky)” (#10) complete the Top 10.

“Stitches,” which is new to the Top 10 this week, is Mendes’ first career single to reach that portion of the chart.
