The Chainsmokers & Halsey’s “Closer” Tops Hot 100 For 11th Straight Week, 2016’s Longest Reign

The Chainsmokers’ “Closer (featuring Halsey)” retains its #1 position on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 for an eleventh straight week.

In doing so, “Closer” outright ranks as 2016’s longest-reigning #1. It was previously in a tie with Drake’s “One Dance (featuring WizKid & Kyla),” which spent ten non-consecutive weeks at #1.

In securing an eleventh week on top, “Closer” is officially the longest-reigning Hot 100 leader since Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again (featuring Charlie Puth)” (12 weeks).

Its streak of eleven weeks, meanwhile, is the longest since the fourteen-week run achieved by Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk (featuring Bruno Mars).”

The Top 10 of this week’s Hot 100 follows:
10) gnash – i hate u i love u ft. olivia o’brien (+1)
