Already a strong performer in terms of airplay, sales, and streaming, The Weeknd’s “The Hills” benefited from the release of remixes featuring Eminem and Nicki Minaj.<\/p>\n
The benefit allows “The Hills” to hold off Drake’s soaring “Hotline Bling” and retain its top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
This represents the song’s fifth consecutive week atop the all-encompassing listing.<\/p>\n
According to Nielsen, “The Hills” notably sold 189,000 copies during the October 9-15 tracking week (+93%). The Weeknd’s original version comprised 51% of those sales (~96,000), Eminem’s remix was responsible for 35% (~66,000), and Nicki Minaj’s take generated the remaining 14% (~26,000).<\/p>\n
Drake’s “Hotline Bling” holds at #2 this week.<\/p>\n
Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” once again follows at #3, while Fetty Wap’s “679” (#4, +1) and Shawn Mendes’ “Stitches” (#5, +3) complete the Top 5.<\/p>\n
“Stitches” is making its inaugural Top 5 appearance this week. It also represents the first Top 5 hit of Mendes’ career.<\/p>\n
