Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” retains its #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.

The smash hit celebrates a sixth (non-consecutive) week as America’s hottest overall song.

“thank u, next” remains a stellar performer in streams, sales and radio — the three categories that comprise the Hot 100.

The closest competition again comes from Halsey’s “Without Me.” Travi$ Scott’s “SICKO MODE” holds at #3, while Post Malone & Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” jumps three spots to #4. Marshmello & Bastille’s “Happier” concurrently falls one spot to #5.

— As “thank u, next” retains its Hot 100 crown, Grande’s new “imagine” debuts at #24.
