Hot 100: Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain,” Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy” Reach Top 40

Two momentum-rich singles reach the Top 40 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

Up sixteen places, Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain” takes #34 on this week’s all-encompassing chart.

Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy” follows at #35; it was #47 last week.

Both songs have been making big gains at mainstream radio. “Mercy” also benefited from a performance during last Sunday’s American Music Awards.
