Billboard Hot 100: The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber’s “STAY” Earns 5th Week As #1 Song In America; Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like” Top 5

“STAY” returns to #1 on the all-genre chart.

The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber’s megahit “STAY” makes another return to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, securing a fifth non-consecutive week as America’s hottest overall song.

The collaboration remains a force in streams, sales, and radio, the three factors that combine to determine Hot 100 placement

Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy (featuring Future & Young Thug),” last week’s leader, drops to #2. Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” concurrently rises ten places to #3, while Drake’s “Knife Talk (featuring 21 Savage & Project Pat)” rises one place to #4.

It is, of course, worth noting that most songs from Drake’s “Certified Love Boy” did fall from the impressive marks they set last week, thus opening the door for some other big gainers.

One such gainer is Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like,” which rises sixteen places to a new high of #5. The release of the Kesha remix led to a boost in activity, although Walker Hayes retains sole credit as the original version contributed more points this week.
