The song dethrones Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.” Plus, another new top 10 for Lamar and a pair from the tandem of Zedd & Alessia Cara and triple team of Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber.

Kendrick Lamar‘s “Humble.” rises from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated May 6), becoming the rapper’s second Hot 100 No. 1 and first as a lead artist. The song unseats Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” after 12 weeks atop the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, three songs enter the Hot 100’s top 10, led by Lamar’s “DNA.,” the chart’s top debut at No. 4, from the rapper’s new album DAMN., which enters at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Plus, Zedd and Alessia Cara‘s “Stay” jumps from No. 14 to No. 7 and takes over as the top-selling song of the week, and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee blast 48-9 with “Despacito,” following the release of its remix with newly-added featured artist Justin Bieber.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 25.

“Humble.,” released on Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope Records, becomes the 1,062nd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s history (which dates to Aug. 4, 1958) and Lamar’s second, and first as a lead act. He first topped the June 6, 2015-dated chart as featured on Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.”

“Humble.” surpasses its prior No. 2 Hot 100 high, set upon its debut two weeks ago. The track spends a third week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, up 56 percent to an astounding 67.4 million U.S. streams in the week ending April 20, according to Nielsen Music (good for the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer award). Only one song has posted a greater weekly total on Streaming Songs (which originated on March 2, 2013): Baauer’s “Harlem Shake,” which peaked with 103 million, powered heavily by user-generated clips featuring the song’s audio, the week that the survey debuted. Notably, in between “Harlem” and “Humble.,” Adele’s “Hello” posted the highest weekly streaming sum: 61.6 million, in its first week (Nov. 14, 2015).

“Humble.” also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a third frame with the highest weekly total (43.5 million on-demand U.S. streams) in the chart’s history (handily passing the 36.2 million logged by Drake’s “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, as reflected on the May 21, 2016, chart). It drops 5-10 on Digital Song Sales (56,000 downloads sold, down 3 percent, in the week ending April 20) and debuts at No. 47 on Radio Songs (28 million in airplay audience, up 26 percent, in the week ending April 23).

“Humble.” tops the Hot Rap Songs chart for a third week and returns for a second week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (2-1).

As previously reported, Lamar’s LP DAMN., which includes “Humble.,” vaults onto the Billboard 200 with the biggest week for an album in 2017 (603,000 equivalent album units). Meanwhile, the set’s “DNA.” debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 4, powered by its No. 2 entrance on Streaming Songs (51 million). Thanks to “Humble.” and “DNA.,” Lamar is the first act to double up in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously since Bieber in October; The Chainsmokers earned the honor earlier the same month.

Despite dipping to No. 2 on the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape” adds an 11th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (184 million, down 1 percent). It drops 2-4 on Streaming Songs (39.5 million, down 5 percent) and 3-6 on Digital Song Sales (66,000, essentially even week-over-week). The song led the rankings for four and 10 weeks, respectively.

And, more honors to offset the departure of “Shape” from the Hot 100’s summit: the song becomes Sheeran’s second No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart (following “Thinking Out Loud,” which topped the tally for 19 weeks in 2015). “Shape” crowns the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart for a ninth week and Dance/Mix Show Airplay for a sixth frame. It vacates the top spot on Pop Songs after nine weeks at No. 1 and led Dance Club Songs for two frames.

Along with Lamar and Sheeran in the Hot 100’s top four spots, Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” descends to No. 3 from its No. 2 high (after four total weeks in the runner-up rank). It keeps at No. 2 on both Radio Songs (160 million, up 6 percent) and Digital Song Sales (80,000, up 9 percent). “Like” leads the Hot R&B Songs chart for a 10th week and hits No. 1 on Pop Songs; it’s Mars’ eighth Pop Songs leader, tying him with Justin Timberlake for the most among male soloists (dating to the chart’s 1992 start).

Future‘s highest-charting Hot 100 hit, “Mask Off,” enters the top five (7-5). Driven by the #MaskOffChallenge meme, in which everyone from dancers to violinists and flute players accompany the song in user-generated clips, the track stays at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (38.5 million, up 5 percent). Directly below on the Hot 100, KYLE’s debut hit “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty, is steady at No. 6 after previously rising to No. 4.

Zedd and Cara’s “Stay” surges 14-7 on the Hot 100 (as the chart’s top digital sales gainer) and bounds 10-1 on Digital Song Sales (up 135 percent to 91,000 sold), aided during the tracking week by 69-cent sale-pricing in the iTunes Store and the April 18 arrival of its official proper video. The collab is each act’s first Digital Song Sales No. 1 and third Hot 100 top 10. Zedd previously hit the Hot 100’s top 10 with “Clarity,” featuring Foxes (No. 8, 2013), and as featured on Ariana Grande’s “Break Free” (No. 4, 2014); Cara had tallied the top 10s “Here” (No. 5, 2016) and “Scars to Your Beautiful” (No. 8, two months ago). “Stay” also soars 5-1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, where it’s Zedd’s third No. 1 and Cara’s first.

“Stay” with us for more: the song’s ascent to the Hot 100’s top 10 returns a female soloist to the region after a very noticeable one-week break; a week ago, no solo women charted in the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in more than 33 years. The track is also the fourth song titled simply “Stay” to hit the Hot 100’s top 10. It follows top-10 stays for hits by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs (No. 1, one week, 1960); Shakespear’s Sister (No. 4, 1992); and Rihanna, featuring Mikky Ekko (No. 3, 2013).

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay‘s “Something Just Like This” slides 5-8 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3. Still, the song adds top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100 (up 22 percent to 100 million in audience, as it pushes 5-3 on Radio Songs). Plus, The Chainsmokers have now spent 51 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 (dating to May 21, 2016, and encompassing four top 10s), tying Drake, in 2015-16, for the second-longest streak of ranking in the bracket consecutively;  Katy Perry linked a record 69 straight weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 in 2010-11.

Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Bieber, rockets 48-9 on the Hot 100 following the April 17 arrival of its new Bieber-assisted remix and video. Sales account for slightly more than half the song’s points on the Hot 100, as it re-enters Digital Song Sales at a new No. 8 high, exploding 510 percent to 60,000 sold; prior to Bieber’s involvement, the song had reached No. 48 on the sales chart (and No. 44 on the Hot 100) and sold as many as 15,000 in a week. The track also flies 33-14 on Streaming Songs (24.1 million, up 129 percent) and enters Radio Songs at No. 39 (30 million, up 25 percent).

“Despacito” (which translates to “slowly” in English) is the first Hot 100 top 10 for both Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. The former had reached the chart with two prior titles in 2005 and 2008, peaking as high as No. 90; the latter had neared the top 10, peaking at No. 12 as featured (with Nina Sky, Gem Star and Big Mato) on N.O.R.E.’s “Oye Mi Canto” in 2004. Bieber adds his 12th Hot 100 top 10.

Until “Despacito,” what was the last mostly-Spanish-language song to enter the Hot 100’s top 10? We have to dance all the way back to 1996 for Los Del Rio’s pop-culture juggernaut, and 14-week No. 1, “Macarena” (powered by its Bayside Boys remix). “Despacito” additionally tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 12th week.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Lil Uzi Vert‘s “XO TOUR Llif3” slides from its No. 8 highpoint to No. 10, while holding at No. 5 on Streaming Songs (34.7 million, up 5 percent). Like Future’s “Mask Off,” “TOUR” is fueled by viral buzz, specifically the #LilUziVertChallenge, which is based on a shoulder-shimmy dance performed by the rapper and has prompted fan-made videos across social media.

Plus, Future & Lil Uzi Vert hit the top 10 with virally driven tracks.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 29) for a 12th week.

Meanwhile, three songs enter the Hot 100’s top 10, led by Harry Styles‘ first solo single, “Sign of the Times,” the chart’s top debut at No. 4. Plus, Future‘s “Mask Off” bounds from No. 11 to No. 7 and Lil Uzi Vert‘s “XO TOUR Llif3” leaps 16-8.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 18.

As it continues atop the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, becomes one of only 18 No. 1s (of 1,061 total leaders) to have topped the chart for at least 12 weeks, dating to the list’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. It’s the first since The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” (featuring Halsey), which reigned for 12 weeks between September and November 2016.

“Shape” adds a 10th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs and, impressively, is still gaining, up 3 percent to 185 million in airplay audience in the week ending April 16, according to Nielsen Music. It’s the first song to hit double-digit weeks at No. 1 on the chart since, again, “Closer” (11 weeks, beginning in October).

“Shape” holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (41.5 million U.S. streams, down 4 percent, in the week ending April 13) and No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (66,000 downloads sold, down 13 percent, in the week ending April 13). It led the lists for four and 10 weeks, respectively.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” rebounds from No. 3 back to its No. 2 Hot 100 high (for a fourth total week in the runner-up spot). It stays at No. 2 on both Radio Songs (151 million, up 8 percent) and Digital Song Sales (73,000, down 5 percent). It dips 3-6 on Streaming Songs, but gains by 6 percent to 34.6 million. “Like” leads the Hot R&B Songs chart for a ninth week and rebounds 2-1 for a fourth week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

After debuting a week ago at No. 2 on the Hot 100, Kendrick Lamar‘s “Humble.” drops to No. 3. Still, the track spends a second week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (43.2 million, down 7 percent), as well as on the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart (27.3 million on-demand U.S. streams, down 18 percent). “Humble.” tumbles from No. 1 to No. 5 on Digital Song Sales (58,000, down 48 percent), while advancing by 53 percent to 23 million in airplay audience. The track tops the Hot Rap Songs chart for a second week. It introduces Lamar’s LP DAMN., released Friday (April 14) and due on next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart.

Styles’ “Sign of the Times” launches at No. 4 on the Hot 100, with the One Direction member’s solo debut arriving at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (142,000). It bows at No. 18 on Streaming Songs (16.5 million) and sports 23 million airplay impressions in its first full week of tracking (after its March 7 release).

“Sign” marks Styles’ first solo appearance on the Hot 100 following 29 entries as part of One Direction. The boy band has scored six Hot 100 top 10s, charting highest with “Best Song Ever,” which reached No. 2 in 2013. In February 2016, following his exit from the group, Zayn became the first 1D member (past or present) to chart solo on the Hot 100, rocketing in at No. 1 with “Pillowtalk” (with 267,000 in first-week sales). The act’s Louis Tomlinson reached No. 52 in December with his first Hot 100 entry, “Just Hold On” (with Steve Aoki), and Niall Horan rose to No. 20 in January with his solo debut, “This Town.”

Further reflecting the anticipation that has accompanied One Direction solo projects, the group is the first in the Hot 100’s history to have two of its members earn top 10 debuts. Along with Styles’ “Sign” and Zayn’s “Pillowtalk,” the latter also launched at No. 6 in December with “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” (with Taylor Swift). Meanwhile, 1D has tallied five top 10 debuts, the most among groups; boy band forefathers The Beatles rank second with four.

“Sign” previews Styles’ self-titled first solo album, due May 12 on Columbia Records. He performed the single, as well as the LP’s “Ever Since New York,” on NBC’s Saturday Night Live over the weekend.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, The Chainsmokers and Coldplay‘s “Something Just Like This” is steady at No.  5, after reaching No. 3. As previously reported, parent album Memories… Do Not Open arrives at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, the duo has now spent 50 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 (dating to May 21, 2016, and encompassing four top 10s). Only Katy Perry (69 weeks, 2010-11) and Drake (51 weeks , 2015-16) have linked longer streaks. “Something” additionally tops the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a sixth week.

KYLE’s debut hit “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty, slips from its No. 4 Hot 100 high to No. 6, but gains in all metrics. It rises 6-4 on Streaming Songs (35.3 million, up 23 percent); 19-13 on Digital Song Sales (37,000, up 16 percent); and 33-24 on Radio Songs (42 million, up 5 percent).

Future achieves his highest-charting Hot 100 hit, second top 10 and first in a lead role as “Mask Off” surges 11-7. Powered by the #MaskOffChallenge meme, in which everyone from dancers to violinists and flute players have shown off their talents in clips accompanying the song, the track jumps 7-3 on Streaming Songs (36.7 million, up 52 percent) and 17-15 on Digital Song Sales (35,000, up 7 percent), while growing by 25 percent to 24 million in airplay audience.

Future had previously hit the Hot 100’s top 10 in 2013 as a featured artist, with Drake, on Lil Wayne’s No. 9-peaking “Love Me.” “Mask Off” is from Future’s self-titled album, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 dated March 11; when his HNDRXX arrived at No. 1 the following week, the rapper became the first artist in the chart’s history to debut on top in consecutive weeks.

Like Future’s “Mask Off,” Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO TOUR Llif3” bounds to the Hot 100’s top 10 (16-8) fueled by viral buzz, specifically the #LilUziVertChallenge, which is based on a shoulder-shimmy dance performed by the rapper, and has prompted fan-made videos across several social media platforms. The cut holds at No. 5 on Streaming Songs, up by a robust 21 percent to 32.9 million, and climbs 45-36 on Digital Song Sales (18,000, up 10 percent). Lil Uzi Vert vaults to his second Hot 100 top 10 and first as a lead; he spent three weeks at No. 1 in January-February as featured on Migos’ “Bad and Boujee.”

Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road” pulls into reverse, backing up to No. 9 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 6 last week. The track holds at No. 4 on Digital Song Sales (61,000, down 12 percent); it had surged by 19 percent in the prior tracking week after Hunt performed it at the Academy of Country Music Awards April 2. Still, it rises 23-17 on Radio Songs (53 million, up 16 percent) and gains by 7 percent to 14.8 million streams (despite dropping 24-25 on Streaming Songs). The track, which is crossing over from country to pop radio, tops Hot Country Songs for a 10th week.

Capping the Hot 100’s top 10, “Paris,” The Chainsmokers’ other song in the region (both from the Memories album), descends 9-10 after reaching No. 6.

There’s no stopping Drake at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as More Life spends a third straight week atop the list. The set earned 136,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 6, according to Nielsen Music. That sum is a decline of 40 percent compared to its second-week earnings: 226,000 units.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 22, 2017-dated chart (where More Life is No. 1 for a third week) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, April 11.

More Life is the first album to spend its first three chart weeks at No. 1 since Drake’s own Views, back on June 4, 2016. (Views spent its first nine weeks at No. 1, following its debut atop the tally dated May 21. Views then later returned three more weeks in the penthouse from July 30-Aug. 13, and then one further frame at No. 1 on Oct. 8.)

More Life is still powered greatly by its streaming activity, as 111,000 of its units are SEA (equaling 167 million streams of songs from the album in the tracking week). The album also tallied 16,000 in traditional album sales, and 9,000 TEA units.

More Life continues to only be available for sale as a download, as its previously announced March 31 CD release was pushed back to an as-yet-unannounced date. A vinyl LP was also forthcoming, but a street date was never made public.

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) holds at No. 2 for a third week in a row (following its first two frames at No. 1), as the album nets 80,000 units (down 19 percent).

Kodak Black arrives at No. 3 with his debut studio album, Painting Pictures. The hip-hop set launches with 71,000 units, mostly driven by 51,000 SEA units. (It also sold 15,000 in traditional album sales.) The set’s streams are powered by the album’s hit single “Tunnel Vision,” which was No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart dated April 15.

Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic rises 6-4 on the new Billboard 200 with 48,000 units (down 2 percent). The live action Beauty and the Beast soundtrack slips 4-5 with 46,000 units (down 28 percent) and the Moana soundtrack rises 7-6 with 44,000 units (down 4 percent).

Rock band Mastodon scores its third top 10 album, as Emperor of Sand bows at No. 7 with 43,000 units (41,000 in traditional album sales). The group previously hit the top 10 with Once More ‘Round the Sun (No. 6 in 2014) and The Hunter (No. 10 in 2011).

Emperor of Sand is also the top-selling album of the week, and bows at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.

Future’s self-titled album climbs one slot to No. 8 with 38,000 units (down 3 percent) and Migos’ Culture ascends 11-9 with 34,000 units (down 6 percent).

MercyMe rounds out the top 10, as the act’s new Lifer album debuts at No. 10 with 33,000 units (30,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the fourth top 10 effort for the group, following Welcome to the New (No. 4 in 2014), The Hurt & The Healer (No. 7, 2012) and The Generous Mr. Lovewell (No. 3, 2010).

The song is now part of a mere 3 percent of leaders all-time to reign for double-digit weeks. Plus, The Chainsmokers tie the longest streak of weeks in the top 10 among non-solo acts.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 15) for a 10th week, joining an exclusive club of hits that have ruled for double-digit weeks in the chart’s 58-year history.

Meanwhile, The Chainmokers match the longest streak of consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 among duos or groups, having ranked in the tier for 48 straight weeks.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 4.

As it continues to command the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, becomes just the 34th No. 1 to lead for at least 10 weeks dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception; a mere 3 percent (34 of 1,061) of the Hot 100’s all-time No. 1s have reached double-digit total weeks on top.

Among Atlantic singles specifically, “Shape” is the fifth to top the Hot 100 for 10 weeks or more. The one to beat with the longest stay: Brandy and Monica’s 13-week No. 1 “The Boy Is Mine” in 1998.

Overall, “Shape” is the first title to top the Hot 100 for double-digit frames since The Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” featuring Halsey, which led for 12 weeks in 2016. Earlier in 2016, Drake‘s 10-week No. 1 “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, became the last such smash among solo males prior to Sheeran’s.

As it crowns the Hot 100 for a 10th week, “Shape” does the same on the Digital Song Sales chart (85,000 downloads sold, down 12 percent, in the week ending March 30, according to Nielsen Music), becoming just the 10th hit to total double-digit weeks atop the tally. It’s the first since “Closer,” which logged a record-tying 13 weeks at No. 1.

“Shape” adds an eighth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (173 million in audience, up 1 percent, in the week ending April 2) and a fourth frame atop Streaming Songs (46.2 million U.S. streams, essentially even week-over-week, in the week ending March 30).

Impressively, “Shape” has topped the Hot 100 and its three main component charts (Digital Song Sales, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs) simultaneously for four weeks running. Since Streaming Songs launched in early 2013 (as the most-recently-added of the three lists), only two songs had previously led the trio of charts (as well as the Hot 100) for at least four straight weeks at the same time: “Closer” (six weeks, 2016) and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (six, 2015).

Back to this week, with more Mars: his “That’s What I Like” holds at its No. 2 high on the Hot 100. It pushes 3-2 on Radio Songs (119 million, up 15 percent), earning the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for the fifth time in the last six weeks. The track keeps at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (79,000, down 1 percent) and rises 6-3 on Streaming Songs (30.1 million, up 9 percent). “Like” notches a seventh week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart and a third atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

And, more Chainsmokers: the twosome of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart zooms 7-3 on the Hot 100 with “Something Just Like This,” its collab with Coldplay. The song passes its prior No. 5 high to tie for The Chainsmokers’ second-highest-charting hit: before their 12-week No. 1 “Closer,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” featuring Daya, reached No. 3 in July 2016. Coldplay has charted higher only with “Viva La Vida,” its sole No. 1 in 2008.

“Something” stays at No. 4 on Digital Song Sales (59,000, down 1 percent) and surges 18-12 on Radio Songs (59 million, up 20 percent) and 25-15 on Streaming Songs (18.3 million, up 3 percent). It leads the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a fourth week.

Thanks to “Something,” as well as the duo’s No. 6-peaking “Paris,” which rebounds 10-9, The Chainsmokers have now spent 48 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, dating to May 21, 2016 (and encompassing four top 10s), tying Ace of Base’s record streak among non-solo acts. Here’s an update among all artists:

Most consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10
69 weeks, Katy Perry, 2010-11
51 weeks, Drake, 2015-16
48 weeks, The Chainsmokers, 2016-17
48 weeks, Ace of Base, 1993-94
46 weeks, Rihanna, 2010-1

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, The Weeknd‘s “I Feel It Coming,” featuring Daft Punk, hits a new peak, rising 5-4, led by its identical 5-4 lift on Radio Songs (98 million, up 1 percent). Plus, KYLE returns to the top 10 at a new high, charging 12-5 with his debut hit “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty; it had reached a prior No. 10 best rank two weeks ago. With its latest climb, Lil Yachty matches his highest Hot 100 placement, as he’d first ascended to a No. 5 high as featured on D.R.A.M.’s “Broccoli” in November. Streaming leads the way for “iSpy,” which jumps 8-6 on Streaming Songs (26.9 million, up 14 percent). The track also continues to add airplay, as it rises 44-36 on Radio Songs (34 million, up 20 percent).

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, drops 4-6 on the Hot 100, following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, while topping the Hot Rap Songs chart for a 13th week; Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” tumbles 3-7, after hitting No. 2; and Kodak Black‘s first Hot 100 top 10, “Tunnel Vision,” dips to No. 8 from its No. 6 Hot 100 high.

Closing out the Hot 100’s top 10 (below The Chainsmokers’ “Paris” at No. 9, as noted above), Drake’s “Passionfruit” slips to No. 10 after debuting at No. 8 a week ago. Driven heavily by streaming, the track keeps at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (26.2 million, down 10 percent), as well as No. 1, for a second total week, on the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart (24.4 million on-demand U.S. streams, down 16 percent). The track stays at No. 22 on Digital Song Sales (25,000, down 7 percent) and gains by 118 percent to 13 million in airplay audience. As previously reported, parent album More Life spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, having earned 226,000 equivalent album units (down 55 percent) in the week ending March 30.

Drake’s More Life rules the Billboard 200 albums chart for a second week, as the set earned 225,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 30, according to Nielsen Music. It declined 55 percent compared to its blockbuster debut frame of 505,000 units.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 15, 2017-dated chart (where More Life is No. 1 for a second week) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, April 4.

More Life debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated April 8, earning 505,000 units in its first tracking week, according to Nielsen Music. It also set a streaming record, for the largest number of SEA units racked up in a single week by an album: 257,000.

More Life continues to be a streaming powerhouse in its second week, as traditional album sales equaled 43,000 while it collected another 169,000 SEA units (the second largest streaming week ever for an album, behind only More Life’s debut). The rest of the title’s units came from TEA (13,000).

More Life is Drake’s second album to earn more than a single week at No. 1, following Views, which tallied 13 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list in 2016. His other No. 1 albums all had singular weeks at No. 1 (What a Time To Be Alive, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, Nothing Was the Same, Take Care, Thank Me Later).

With More Life clocking a second week at No. 1, it marks the 20^th cumulative week at No. 1 for Drake as an artist, combining the two weeks atop the list for More Life with his previous 18 weeks leading the tally with his six earlier No. 1s. Among hip-hop acts, the only artists with more weeks at No. 1 are Jay Z (with 23 weeks from 13 No. 1s) and M.C. Hammer (with 21, all from his only No. 1: Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Ed Sheeran’s former No. 1 ÷ (Divide) holds its position, with 98,000 units (down 17 percent).

Trey Songz’s Tremaine debuts at No. 3 — the only new arrival in the top 10 — with 67,000 units (45,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the fifth top 10 for the singer, and first since Trigga, which debuted at No. 1 in 2014 with 105,000 in album sales (this was before the chart transitioned to a units-based ranking). He previously visited the region with Chapter V (2012), Passion, Pain & Pleasure (2010) and Ready (2009).

The new live action Beauty and the Beast film soundtrack holds steady at No. 4 with 64,000 units (down 36 percent), while Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct blasts 19-5 with 50,000 units (up 110 percent) and 48,000 in traditional album sales (up 120 percent). The set continues to profit mostly from a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion with the act’s stadium tour that went on sale on Feb. 17.

Metallica is followed by a pair of stationary titles, as Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic sits still at No. 6 for another week (49,000 units; down 4 percent) and the Moana soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 7 (46,000 units; down 8 percent).

Rick Ross’ Rather You Than Me dips 3-8 in its second week on the list, with 40,000 units (down 62 percent), and Future’s self-titled album falls one rung to No. 9 with 39,000 units (down 3 percent). The Weeknd’s Starboy closes out the top 10 at No. 10 with 36,000 units (down 6 percent).

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 8) for a ninth week.

Meanwhile, Drake debuts two songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, “Passionfruit” and “Portland” (the latter featuring Quavo and Travis Scott), joining Sheeran as the only artists ever to debut two songs in the top 10 simultaneously. The bows are part of Drake’s monster week, as his album More Life rockets in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and he charts a one-week record 24 songs on this week’s Hot 100.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 28.

As it continues to command the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, also logs a ninth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart (97,000 downloads sold, down 7 percent, in the week ending March 23, according to Nielsen Music), as well as a seventh week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (171 million in audience, up 3 percent, in the week ending March 26). Notably, the song is the first to crack the 170-million audience barrier since Adele’s “Hello” (172 million) on Jan. 16, 2016. “Shape” also leads the Streaming Songs chart for a third frame (46.4 million U.S. streams, down 3 percent, in the week ending March 23).

Impressively, “Shape” has topped the Hot 100’s three main component charts (Digital Song Sales, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs) simultaneously for three weeks running. Since Streaming Songs launched in early 2013 (as the youngest of the three lists), only two songs had previously led the trio of tallies (as well as the Hot 100) for at least three straight weeks at the same time: The Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” featuring Halsey (six weeks, 2016), and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (streaks of six and three weeks, 2015).

Speaking of Mars, his “That’s What I Like” holds at its No. 2 high on the Hot 100. It climbs 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (80,000, up 3 percent) and 5-3 on Radio Songs (103 million, up 18 percent), while dipping 4-6 on Streaming Songs despite a 3 percent rise to 27.7 million. The song also nabs the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for the fourth time in the last five weeks. “Like” logs a sixth week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart and a second week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Zayn and Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” rebounds 4-3, after hitting No. 2; Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, drops 3-4 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, while topping the Hot Rap Songs chart for a 12th week; and The Weeknd’s “I Feel It Coming,” featuring Daft Punk, is steady at its No. 5 peak.

Kodak Black’s first Hot 100 top 10, “Tunnel Vision,” bullets for a third week at its No. 6 Hot 100 high, while The Chainsmokers again chart two songs in the top 10: “Something Just Like This,” with Coldplay, rises 8-7 after reaching No. 5, while leading the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a third (nonconsecutive) week, and “Paris” dips 9-10 on the Hot 100 after rising to No. 6.

Meanwhile, The Chainsmokers, the twosome of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, have now spent 47 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, dating to May 21, 2016 (and encompassing four top 10s), moving to within a week of matching Ace of Base’s record streak for a duo or group. Here’s an update among all acts:

Most consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10
69 weeks, Katy Perry, 2010-11
51 weeks, Drake, 2015-16
48 weeks, Ace of Base, 1993-94
47 weeks, The Chainsmokers, 2016-17
46 weeks, Rihanna, 2010-11
45 weeks, The Weeknd, 2015

In between The Chainsmokers two current Hot 100 top 10s, Drake soars in with two debuts, both from his new album More Life: “Passionfruit,” at No. 8, and “Portland,” at No. 9. Drake is only the second artist to debut two songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously, following Sheeran, whose “Shape” and “Castle on the Hill” launched at Nos. 1 and 6, respectively, on the Jan. 28-dated chart.

“Passionfruit” and “Portland” both arrive driven primarily by streaming, with the former bowing at No. 4 on Streaming Songs and No. 1 on the On-Demand Streaming Songs chart (29.1 million U.S. streams, almost all via on-demand clicks). The latter launches at Nos. 5 and 2 on the lists (28.5 million U.S. streams; 27.3 million on-demand), respectively.

More Drake honors: With the debuts, Drake ups his count to 20 career Hot 100 top 10s, becoming the 17th artist in the chart’s 58-year history to hit the mark (and tying the totals of Chicago, The Supremes and Taylor Swift). Madonna leads with 38 top 10s, followed by The Beatles (34), Rihanna (30) and Michael Jackson, the front-runner among solo males with 29.

As for the featured acts on “Portland,” Quavo earns his first Hot 100 top 10 as a soloist (in addition to his first and only top 10 as a member of Migos, “Bad and Boujee”), while Travis Scott also achieves his first top 10 on the tally.

Meanwhile, Drake’s week is historic on the Hot 100, as he charts a record-breaking 24 songs overall on the April 8-dated ranking (including all 22 from More Life), besting his prior mark of 20 set on May 21, 2016, the week that his last album, Views, opened atop the Billboard 200. He debuts 21 songs total on the latest Hot 100 (all from More Life; they join the set’s “Fake Love,” which reached No. 8 in February), also a new one-week record, surpassing the 16 songs (all from Views) that he sent onto the May 21-dated Hot 100.

Plus: Rick Ross & Depeche Mode debut in the top 5.

Drake scores his seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and sets a new streaming record, as his More Lifeset bows atop the tally dated April 8.

The effort, which was released on March 18, earned 505,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 23, according to Nielsen Music. That’s the biggest week for any album since Drake’s own Views launched with 1.04 million units on the list dated May 21, 2016.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 8, 2017-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, March 28.

Of More Life’s starting sum, a record 257,000 units were driven by streaming equivalent album units, equating to 384.8 million streams of songs from the 22-track album during the tracking frame (each unit equals 1,500 streams of songs from the album).

More Life’s streaming sum beats the previous record holder of Drake’s Views, which launched with 163,000 streaming equivalent units (245.1 million song streams).

With 257,000 units of More Life’s debut sum comprised of SEA, the remaining amount was comprised of 23,000 TEA units and 226,000 in traditional album sales (all from digital downloads of the album, as it is so far initially commercially available only through digital retailers). The latter sum is the second-largest sales week of 2017, behind only the arrival of Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide), which launched with 322,000 copies sold (it was available as both a digital and physical album). Drake’s last album release, Views, bowed with 852,000 copies sold (all from digital albums).

Drake’s More Life was released to all streaming and digital retail services on Saturday (March 18). Its streaming and commercial release was preceded that day by the project’s premiere on Drake’s OVO Sound radio program on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio at 3:30 p.m. PT. It will be released on CD on March 31, with a vinyl LP release to follow in the coming weeks.

More Life is Drake’s seventh consecutive album to debut at No. 1. Only his debut EP, So Far Gone, has missed the top slot, as it debuted and peaked at No. 6 back in 2009.

Drake’s seven No. 1s ties him with Kanye West and Eminem for the second-most No. 1s among hip-hop acts, trailing only Jay Z, with 13 leaders.Last week’s No. 1, Ed Sheeran’s ÷, falls to No. 2 after two weeks leading the list. ÷ earned 119,000 units in the latest tracking frame — down 34 percent.

Rick Ross nabs his ninth top 10 album, as his new Rather You Than Me starts at No. 3 with 106,000 units (70,000 in traditional album sales). Ross’ last album, 2015’s Black Market, debuted and peaked at No. 6 with 65,000 units earned in its first week (and 54,000 in sales). Rather You Than Me logs Ross’ largest sales sum since Mastermind debuted at No. 1 in 2014 with 179,000 copies sold. All nine of Ross’ studio albums have debuted in the top 10. His hot streak began with the No. 1 arrival of Port of Miami in 2006.

The Beauty and the Beast soundtrack is pushed down one spot to No. 4, despite a 74 percent gain in units. The set earned 99,000 units in the week (up from its debut of 57,000 units), as the album profits from publicity generated by its parent film’s blockbuster opening in theaters on March 17. (The latest album tracking week ran from March 17 through March 23.) Beauty and the Beast sold 74,000 copies last week — up 52 percent. That’s the largest sales week for a soundtrack since the Suicide Squad album bowed with 128,000 copies sold on the chart dated Aug. 27, 2016.

Depeche Mode clocks the third and final debut in the new Billboard 200’s top 10, as the band’s Spirit starts at No. 5 with 64,000 units (62,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the act’s eighth top 10 album and follows the No. 6 debut and peak of 2013’s Delta Machine (52,000 sold in its first week). The alt/dance vets last ranked higher in 2009 with Sounds of the Universe (No. 3). All eight of the group’s studio efforts dating back to 1990’s Violator have reached the top 10.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 on the new Billboard 200: Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic moves 4-6 with 51,000 units (down 6 percent), the soundtrack to Moana falls 5-7 with 50,000 units (down 4 percent), Future’s self-titled album dips 6-8 with 40,000 units (down 19 percent), The Weeknd’s Starboy descends 7-9 with 39,000 units (down 12 percent) and Migos’ Culture slides 8-10 with 37,000 units (down 12 percent).

Sheeran’s “Shape of You” continues to reign, while KYLE’s “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty, becomes the former’s first top 10.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” tops the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 1) for an eighth week. Meanwhile, rapper KYLE notches his first Hot 100 top 10 with “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty.

As on every Monday, let’s all do some spying on the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 21.

As it continues to rule the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, also logs an eighth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart (104,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen Music), as well as a sixth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (165 million in audience, up 3 percent, in the week ending March 19). It leads Streaming Songs for a second frame (47.8 million U.S. streams, down 6 percent, in the week ending March 16) and the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs survey for a fourth week (21.1 million on-demand clicks, down 14 percent).

As previously reported, Sheeran’s LP, ÷ (Divide), featuring “Shape,” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with 180,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 16.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” hits a new peak on the Hot 100, rising 3-2 as it continues to build momentum after its official video arrived March 1. The track jumps 7-4 on Streaming Songs (27 million) and 7-5 on Radio Songs (87 million, up 17 percent), while dipping 2-3 on Digital Song Sales (78,000, down 18 percent).

Notably, with Sheeran’s “Shape” and Mars’ “Like” at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, Atlantic Records boasts the Hot 100’s top two titles for the first time since Feb. 19, 2011, and that chart also featured Mars at No. 2: that week, Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” (on Atlantic/RRP) bounded 4-1, dethroning Mars’ “Grenade” after four weeks at No. 1.

Until this week, no label had doubled up at Nos. 1 and 2 since Feb. 13, 2016, when Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” and “Sorry,” on Republic Records, held the top two spots, respectively.

Meanwhile, “Like” logs a fifth week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, while becoming Mars’ first No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Of his prior entries on the latter list, he’d reached a high of No. 3 with “24K Magic” in December.

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, dips 2-3 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Still, “Bad” tops the Hot Rap Songs chart for an 11th week.

Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100 after hitting No. 2, gaining by 56 percent to 58,000 downloads sold, boosted by a 69-cent iTunes Store sale price.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, The Weeknd’s “I Feel It Coming,” featuring Daft Punk, blasts to a new high (12-5), besting its prior No. 9 peak. The Weeknd achieves his fifth top five Hot 100 hit, and Daft Punk its third (and second as featured on a track by The Weeknd; prior single “Starboy” topped the Jan. 7 chart). “Feel” keeps at No. 4 on Radio Songs (97 million, up 3 percent) and flies 24-8 on Digital Songs Sales (55,000, up 78 percent) and 49-20 on Streaming Songs (14.8 million, up 46 percent), sparked by both the premiere of its official video on March 9 and an iTunes discount to 69 cents.

Kodak Black‘s first Hot 100 top 10, “Tunnel Vision,” bullets for a second week at its No. 6 high and Rihanna‘s “Love on the Brain” retreats 5-7. A week ago, the ballad became Rihanna’s 22nd top five hit, breaking her out of a fifth-place tie with Elvis Presley (21); the only artists with more top five Hot 100 hits than Rihanna: The Beatles (29), Madonna (28), Mariah Carey (26) and Janet Jackson (24).

The Chainsmokers chart two songs in the Hot 100’s top 10: “Something Just Like This,” with Coldplay, rebounds 11-8 after reaching No. 5, while leading the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a second (nonconsecutive) week, and “Paris” descends from No. 7 to No. 9 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 6.

The Chainsmokers have now spent 46 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, dating to May 21, 2016 (and encompassing four top 10s). The duo ties Rihanna for the fourth-longest top 10 streak all-time and is within two weeks of matching Ace of Base’s record for a duo or group. Here’s an update among all acts:

69 weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, Katy Perry, 2010-11
51 weeks, Drake, 2015-16
48 weeks, Ace of Base, 1993-94
46 weeks, The Chainsmokers, 2016-17
46 weeks, Rihanna, 2010-11
45 weeks, The Weeknd, 2015

(Meanwhile, The Chainsmokers’ former 12-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Closer,” featuring Halsey, departs the top 10 after 32 weeks in the region, remaining tied for the most top 10 weeks in the chart’s history with LeAnn Rimes’ 1997-98 smash “How Do I Live.” Having spent all of its 32 weeks in the top 10 from its debut at No. 9 on Aug. 20, “Closer” also wraps its record for the most frames that a song has spent in the top tier from a debut week.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Los Angeles-area rapper KYLE leaps to his first top 10, as “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty, surges 14-10 following the March 6 arrival of its official lyric video. The single backtracks 4-5 on Streaming Songs, but with a 9 percent gain to 24 million, and jumps 21-16 on Digital Song Sales (33,000, essentially even week-over-week), while adding 26 million (up 21 percent) in airplay audience.

Lil Yachty earns his second Hot 100 top 10; he hit No. 5 in November as featured on D.R.A.M.’s “Broccoli.”

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) holds on to the No. 1 slot for a second week on the Billboard 200 chart, as the set earned 180,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen Music. That’s down 60 percent compared to its debut frame, when it launched atop the list with 451,000 units.

÷ sold 87,000 in traditional album sales in its second week — down 73 percent compared to its starting sales stanza of 322,000.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 1-dated chart (where ÷ is No. 1 for a second week) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, March 21.

Sheeran’s album is the first in six months to spend its first two weeks at No. 1 on the chart. The last to do so was the Suicide Squad soundtrack, which debuted atop the Aug. 27, 2016-dated list, and spent a second week at No. 1 the following frame, dated Sept. 3.

The last album by an artist to spend its first two weeks at No. 1 was Drake’s Views, way back on May 21-28, 2016. (There have been albums that have spent multiple weeks in a row at No. 1 since then — just not their first two. Pentatonix’s A Pentatonix Christmas debuted at No. 3, and later climbed to No. 1 for two straight weeks. The Weeknd’s Starboy opened at No. 1 last December, fell out of the top position, and then later returned to No. 1 for four consecutive weeks in January.)

A step below Sheeran on the new Billboard 200 is Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, which holds at No. 2 with 102,000 units (up 25 percent) and 100,000 in traditional album sales (up 26 percent). The set continues to profit largely from a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion with the act’s stadium tour that went on sale on Feb. 17. The tour starts on May 10 in Baltimore, Md., at M&T Bank Stadium. Redemptions of Hardwired included with the purchase of a ticket register as a sale in the week the customer redeems/receives the album.

Sheeran and Metallica lead a fairly quiet top 10, where only one album debuts in the region: the new Beauty and the Beast soundtrack, at No. 3. The companion set to the live action remake of the 1991 animated Disney film starts with 57,000 units (48,000 in traditional album sales). The album, which boasts the vocal talents of its cast (including Emma Watson) and recording artists like Ariana Grande and Josh Groban, easily surpasses the No. 19 peak of the animated film’s soundtrack.

It bowed at No. 146 on the chart dated Dec. 7, 1991, and eventually peaked at No. 19 on the April 18, 1992-dated tally. The set spent 76 weeks on the list and has sold 2.3 million copies in the U.S. It also housed a top 10-charting Billboard Hot 100 in its title track, as performed by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. The new album features a redux of the song, this time with Grande and John Legend.

Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic falls one rung on the Billboard 200 to No. 4 with 54,000 units (down 17 percent), while the Moana soundtrack climbs three spots to No. 5 with 52,000 units (up 32 percent). The album benefits from promotion related to the film’s home video release on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD on March 7.

Future’s self-titled album dips from No. 4 to No. 6 with 50,000 units (down 4 percent), The Weeknd’s Starboy is steady at No. 7 with 44,000 units (up 4 percent) and Migos’ Culture falls 6-8 with 42,000 units (down 4 percent).

Future’s HNDRXX descends 5-9 with 39,000 units (down 21 percent) and the Trollssoundtrack closes out the top 10 with 32,000 units (down 12 percent).

Sheeran’s “Shape of You” rules for a seventh week, Rihanna adds her 22nd top five hit, Clean Bandit surges 24-9 with “Rockabye” & The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” ties the record for the most weeks totaled in the top 10.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” spends a seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 25), as parent LP ÷ (Divide) storms in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Also in an action-packed Hot 100 top 10: Rihanna‘s “Love on the Brain” reaches the top five, becoming her 22nd top five hit; Clean Bandit blasts from No. 24 to No. 9 with “Rockabye,” featuring Sean Paul and Anne-Marie; and The Chainsmokers‘  “Closer” (featuring Halsey) ties the record for the most weeks totaled in the top 10 in the Hot 100’s 58-year history.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 14.

As it tops the Hot 100 for a seventh week, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, also logs a seventh week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart (116,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 9, according to Nielsen Music), as well as a fifth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (160 million in audience, up 3 percent, in the week ending March 12). It additionally takes over at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, up 28 percent to 50.8 million U.S. streams in the week ending March 9. It tops the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs survey for a third week (24.5 million on-demand clicks, up 34 percent).

Impressively, “Shape” leads all three of the Hot 100’s main component charts — Digital Song Sales, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs  — becoming the first song to top all the lists simultaneously since “Closer” (Nov. 12, 2016).

As previously reported, Sheeran’s third studio album, ÷ (Divide), launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 451,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 9, the largest week for an album in 2017. Sheeran is the first artist to top the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously since Drake on July 30, with “One Dance” (featuring WizKid and Kyla) and Views, respectively.

Meanwhile, 10 songs from ÷ debut on the Hot 100: “Perfect” (No. 37), “Dive” (No. 49), “Galway Girl” (No. 53), “Happier” (No. 59), “New Man” (No. 72), “Supermarket Flowers” (No. 75), “What Do I Know?” (No. 83), “Eraser” (No. 90), “Hearts Don’t Break Around Here” (No. 93) and “Barcelona” (No. 96). They join “Shape,” the No. 6-peaking “Castle on the Hill” (which roars 75-39) and the No. 41-reaching “How Would You Feel (Paean)” (a re-entry at No. 83), making for 13 of the 16 songs on the deluxe version of the album that have hit the Hot 100; all 12 tracks on the standard version of the album have now reached the Hot 100.

The record for most debuts by an act in a week? 13, by Justin Bieber on Dec. 5, 2015, the week that his album Purpose bowed atop the Billboard 200. And, in a chart quirk, Sheeran owns all 10 of the Hot 100’s debuts this week; that’s the highest amount of new entries all by one act, with no other debuts by anyone else, in a single week in the Hot 100’s history.

Beyond all (impressive) things Ed Sheeran, Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The cut drops to No. 2 on Streaming Songs after 10 weeks on top (42.7 million, down 3 percent). Still, “Bad” leads Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a 10th week each.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” hits a new peak on the Hot 100, rising 4-3 and besting the No. 4 peak of prior single “24K Magic,” the title track from Mars’ latest album. Following the first full tracking week after the official video for “Like” arrived March 1, the track lifts 3-2 on Digital Song Sales, up 25 percent to 95,000 sold, and enters the top 10 on Radio Songs (12-7; 75 million, up 14 percent) and Streaming Songs (11-7; 19.4 million, up 12 percent). On the Hot R&B Songs chart, “Like” collects a fourth week at No. 1.

Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” drops 3-4 on the Hot 100 after hitting No. 2, while Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” bumps 6-5 on the Hot 100, hitting a new peak. The song is Rihanna’s 22nd top five hit, breaking her out of a fifth-place tie with Elvis Presley (who tallied 21 top fives after the Hot 100’s 1958 inception; his career predates the Hot 100, as he first hit Billboard charts in 1956). The only artists with more top five Hot 100 hits than Rihanna: The Beatles (29), Madonna (28), Mariah Carey (26) and Janet Jackson (24). Airplay continues to drive the ballad most heavily, as it keeps at No. 3 on Radio Songs (107 million, essentially even week-over-week).

Kodak Black’s first Hot 100 top 10, “Tunnel Vision,” hits a new high (8-6), while bulleting for a second week at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (33.3 million, up 9 percent); The Chainsmokers‘ “Paris” holds at No. 7 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 6, while returning for a second week at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and hitting the Radio Songs top 10 (11-9; 67 million, up 1 percent); and Big Sean‘s “Bounce Back” lives up to its title, ascending 9-8 on the Hot 100 after climbing to No. 6.

Clean Bandit’s “Rockabye” rockets 24-9 on the Hot 100 (after previously reaching No. 21), sparked by its 17-3 vault on Digital Song Sales (68,000, up 97 percent), boosted by 69-cent sale-pricing in the iTunes Store. It also pushes 23-19 on Radio Songs (50 million, up 7 percent) and bullets at No. 34 (down from No. 32) on Streaming Songs (12.7 million, up 6 percent). The track — which incorporates the lyrics to nursery rhyme “Rock-a-bye Baby,” which dates back more than two-and-a-half centuries, to 1765, specifically — is Clean Bandit’s second Hot 100 top 10, surpassing the No. 10 peak of “Rather Be” (featuring Jess Glynne) in 2014.

While Anne-Marie achieves her first Hot 100 top 10 (in her first visit to the chart) with “Rockabye,” fellow featured act Paul scores his 10th top 10. Notably, he notched his first eight in 2002-2010; he’s collected his latest two in the last nine months, spending four weeks at No. 1 as featured on Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” in August, prior to “Rockabye.”

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, The Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” which spent 12 weeks at No. 1, adds a historic honor, tying the record for the most weeks logged in the top 10: 32 (all from its debut at No. 9 on Aug. 20, 2016). The track equals the top 10 run of LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live”: 32 top 10 weeks in 1997-98.

Plus, The Chainsmokers have now spent 45 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, dating to May 21, 2016 (and encompassing four top 10s). The duo ties The Weeknd for the fifth-longest top 10 streak all-time and is within three weeks of matching Ace of Base’s mark for a duo or group. Here’s an update among all acts:

69 weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10, Katy Perry, 2010-11
51 weeks, Drake, 2015-16
48 weeks, Ace of Base, 1993-94
46 weeks, Rihanna, 2010-11
45 weeks, The Chainsmokers, 2016-17
45 weeks, The Weeknd, 2015

Just beyond the Hot 100’s top 10, the chart’s largest leap belongs to Lorde’s “Green Light,” which soars from No. 100 to No. 19 after its first full week of tracking (following its March 2 release). The lead single from Lorde’s second full-length, Melodrama (due June 16), debuts on Digital Song Sales at No. 6 (52,000) and Streaming Songs at No. 20 (13.6 million), while adding 20 million in radio airplay audience.
