As we do every Monday when the chart is refreshed, let’s run down the Hot 100’s top 10 and more. Highlights of the airplay, sales and streaming-based Hot 100 post on Billboard.com each Monday, with all charts updated each Tuesday.

As it holds atop the Hot 100, “Thrills” (released on Monkey Puzzle/RCA Records), Sia’s first No. 1 as an artist, additionally becomes the most-heard song on U.S. radio, lifting 2-1 on the Radio Songs chart with 151 million in audience (up 6 percent) for the week, according to Nielsen Music.
