Plus, Metallica jumps to No. 2 & Khalid debuts at No. 9.

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, earning a whopping 451,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 10, according to Nielsen Music. That’s the largest week for an album in 2017, and the biggest since J. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only launched at No. 1 with 492,000 on the Dec. 31, 2016-dated list.

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 March 25-dated chart (where Sheeran debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, March 14.

Further, ÷ starts with 322,000 in traditional album sales — again, the largest sales frame for an album since 4 Your Eyez Only debuted with 363,000 copies sold.

This is Sheeran’s second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, following the chart-topping bow of his previous studio effort, x (Multiply), in 2014. That set launched with 209,000 in traditional album sales (before the Billboard 200 transitioned to a ranking based on equivalent album units).

Additionally, ÷ logs the biggest streaming week for an album since 4 Your Eyez Only’s debut frame. ÷ earned 90,000 streaming equivalent album units (which equates to 134.6 million streams of songs from the album in the tracking week). 4 Your Eyez Only arrived with 118,000 streaming equivalent album units (176.9 million streams of the album’s songs).

Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct jumps from No. 14 to No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 with 81,000 units (up 191 percent) and 79,000 in album sales (up 209 percent). The gain is owed mostly to a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion with the band’s stadium tour that went on sale on Feb. 17. The trek launches on May 10 in Baltimore, Md., at M&T Bank Stadium. Redemptions of albums included with the purchase of a concert ticket register as a sale in the week the customer redeems/receives the album.

Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic holds at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 65,000 units (up 12 percent), Future’s self-titled album dips 2-4 with 52,000 units (down 18 percent), while last week’s leader, Future’s HNDRXX, falls to No. 5 with 49,000 units in its second week (down 59 percent).

Migos’ Culture is steady at No. 6 with 44,000 units (down 6 percent), The Weeknd’s Starboy is stationary at No. 7 with 42,000 units (down 8 percent), and the Moanasoundtrack is also a non-mover at No. 8 with 39,000 units (up less than 1 percent).

The second and final debut in the top 10 belongs to Khalid, whose American Teenarrives at No. 9 with 37,000 units (12,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the 19-year-old R&B singer’s debut effort, and was led by the single “Location,” which has reached the top 20 of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Rounding out the Billboard 200’s top 10 at No. 10 is the Trolls soundtrack, falling five slots with 36,000 units (down 28 percent).

The Chainsmokers are just the third duo or group ever with three simultaneous top 10s. Meanwhile, Sheeran’s “Shape of You” leads for a sixth week & Kodak Black notches his first top 10.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” rules the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 18) for a sixth total week.

Meanwhile, The Chainsmokers boast three songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 — “Something Just Like This” (with Coldplay), “Paris” and “Closer” (featuring Halsey) — becoming just the third duo or group ever with three simultaneous top 10s, following The Beatles and Bee Gees.

Plus, Kodak Black earns his first Hot 100 top 10 with “Tunnel Vision.”

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 7.

Starting with The Chainsmokers, the duo of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart infuses the Hot 100’s top 10 with its Coldplay collab “Something Just Like This,” up from No. 56 to No. 5, “Paris” (6-7) and “Closer” (5-10), all released on Disruptor/Columbia Records. The Chainsmokers join elite company as only the third duo or group to log at least three concurrent top 10s, following The Beatles and Bee Gees, dating to the Hot 100’s Aug. 4, 1958, launch.

At the height of early Beatlemania, The Beatles tallied 10 weeks in 1964 with at least three titles in the Hot 100’s top 10 at the same time, highlighted by two weeks with five hits; on April 4, 1964, all five ranked between Nos. 1 and 5, marking the only week that an act has monopolized the entire top five. Bee Gees danced to three simultaneous top 10s for two weeks in 1978, all from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. As the brother trio last managed the achievement on March 4, 1978, until this week it had been 39 years and two weeks since a duo or group had tripled up in the top 10.

Among all artists, The Chainsmokers are the 14th act with at least three Hot 100 top 10s in the same week. Justin Bieberhad last earned the honor, for 10 weeks (Dec. 5, 2015-Feb. 6, 2016) with “Love Yourself,” “Sorry” and “What Do You Mean?”

“Something” soars after its first full week of tracking, following its Feb. 22 release. It bounds 21-2 on Digital Song Sales (83,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 2, according to Nielsen Music) and debuts at No. 7 on Streaming Songs (18.1 million U.S. streams), while adding 22 million in airplay audience (in the week ending March 5). The song is The Chainsmokers’ fifth Hot 100 top 10 and Coldplay’s fourth, and first since “A Sky Full of Stars” (No. 10) in 2014; Coldplay had last ranked higher than No. 5 in 2008 with its sole No. 1, “Viva La Vida.”

“Something” additionally crowns Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, dethroning “Paris,” which last week had replaced “Closer” at No. 1. The songs mark the first set of back-to-back-to-back No. 1s by the same artist in the tally’s four-year history.

“Paris” slips a spot from its No. 6 high on the Hot 100, but lifts 12-11 on Radio Songs (66 million, up 5 percent). “Paris” and “Something” are from The Chainsmokers’ first full-length album, Memories…Do Not Open, due April 7.

Capping the Hot 100’s top 10, “Closer,” which spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, extends its mark for the most weeks in the top 10 from a title’s debut, having totaled all 31 of its frames on the chart in the top 10 since its entrance at No. 9 on Aug. 20, 2016. The track also ties Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (31 top-10 weeks in 2014-15), for the second-most time in the top 10: LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live” did one better, 32 weeks in 1997-98.

Atop the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, spends a sixth week at No. 1, as well as a sixth frame atop the Digital Song Sales chart (141,000 downloads sold, down 4 percent) and a fourth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs, up by 1 percent to 156 million in audience. It stays at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (39.8 million U.S. streams, down 5 percent) and tops the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a second week (18.3 million on-demand clicks, up 2 percent).

The song is from Sheeran’s third studio album, ÷, released Friday (March 3) and set to storm in at No. 1 on the March 25-dated Billboard 200 albums chart.

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 commands Streaming Songs for a 10th week, with 43.9 million U.S. streams (down 5 percent) and dips 13-14 on Radio Songs (61 million, down 3 percent) and 18-22 on Digital Song Sales (31,000 downloads sold, down 12 percent). “Bad” leads Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a ninth week each.

Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” is likewise stationary, at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after hitting No. 2. The duet keeps at No. 2 on Radio Songs (113 million, down 1 percent) and descends 4-6 on Streaming Songs (20.2 million, down 6 percent) and 6-8 on Digital Song Sales (47,000, down 26 percent).

Bruno Mars additionally stays in place on the Hot 100 with “That’s What I Like” (No. 4), although the song makes gains following the March 1 arrival of its official video. It backtracks 2-3 on Digital Song Sales, but with a 1 percent lift to 76,000 sold, and pushes 15-11 on Streaming Songs (17.4 million, up 8 percent) and 18-12 on Radio Songs (65 million, up 18 percent), winning the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award for a second week. On the Hot R&B Songs chart, “Like” logs a third week at No. 1.

Rihanna‘s “Love on the Brain” rises 7-6 on the Hot 100, hitting a new peak. The song is her 30th top 10, a milestone that only Madonna (the leader with 38 top 10s) and The Beatles (34) had previously achieved. Airplay continues to lead the way for the ballad, which keeps at No. 3 on Radio Songs (107 million, down 2 percent).

Kodak Black blasts 27-8 on the Hot 100 with “Tunnel Vision,” his first top 10 on the chart. The track, whose politically charged video arrived Feb. 16, pushes 5-3 on Streaming Songs, up 65 percent to 30.7 million U.S. streams. It zooms 7-2 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and, as on the Hot 100, becomes the rapper’s first top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (12-4).

Taking a deeper look at “Tunnel Vision”… the track becomes the highest-charting hit in the Hot 100’s history with the word “tunnel” in its title: it one-ups Bruce Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love,” which rode to No. 9 in 1988. And, triple “vision”: Kodak Black’s hit is the third top 10 with “vision” in its title, following Foreigner’s “Double Vision” (No. 2, 1978) and Mariah Carey’s debut smash “Vision of Love” (No. 1, four weeks, 1990).

Meanwhile, Big Sean‘s “Bounce Back” is steady at No. 9 after reaching No. 6.

Just beyond the Hot 100’s top 10, Justin Timberlake‘s former No. 1 “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” rebounds 29-13, blasting 35-6 on Digital Song Sales (51,000, up 124 percent) after he opened the Academy Awards (Feb. 26) with a live performance of the song, from the Trolls soundtrack. Plus, KYLE’s “iSpy,” featuring Lil Yachty, hits a new Hot 100 peak (20-14); Shawn Mendes‘ “Mercy” returns to its highpoint (18-17); and Sam Hunt‘s “Body Like a Back Road” steers into the top 20 (22-20).

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” leads the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 11) for a fifth total week. Meanwhile, Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” hits the top five and The Chainsmokers‘ “Paris” returns to the top 10, hitting a new peak.

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, Feb. 28.

“Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, spends a fifth week atop the Digital Song Sales chart with 147,000 downloads sold, down 27 percent, in the week ending Feb. 23, according to Nielsen Music.

Meanwhile, Sheeran’s “How Would You Feel (Paean)” debuts at No. 41 on the Hot 100, and No. 7 on Digital Song Sales (59,000), with both that ballad and “Shape” previewing his third studio album, ÷, due Friday (March 3). “Castle on the Hill,” also from the set, debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Jan. 28-dated Hot 100 (the week that “Shape” launched at No. 1, making Sheeran the first artist ever to debut two songs in the chart’s top 10 simultaneously).

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, rebounds 3-2 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The track tops the Streaming Songs chart for a ninth week, with 46.4 million U.S. streams (down 3 percent); ascends 15-13 on Radio Songs (62 million, up 3 percent); and falls 12-18 on Digital Song Sales (35,000 downloads sold, down 13 percent). The track tops Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for an eighth week each.

Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” dips to No. 3 on the Hot 100 after hitting a No. 2 high a week ago. The duet keeps at No. 2 on Radio Songs (114 million, up 5 percent) and No. 4 on Streaming Songs (21.4 million, up 1 percent), while dropping 2-6 on Digital Song Sales (63,000, down 56 percent). As previously reported, parent album the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack slides to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 a week after launching at No. 1.

Mars bounds 7-4 on the Hot 100 with “That’s What I Like,” becoming his lucky 13th top five hit on the chart, tying Rihanna for the most this decade. The track, which the pop/R&B star performed on the Grammys, pushes 5-2 on Digital Song Sales (75,000, down 11 percent); 20-15 on Streaming Songs (16.1 million, up 29 percent); and 26-18 on Radio Songs (55 million, up 26 percent), winning the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award. On the Hot R&B Songs chart, “Like” logs a second week at No. 1.

“Like” matches the No. 4 Hot 100 high of prior single “24K Magic”; both songs are from Mars’ album 24K Magic, which keeps at its No. 2 peak on the Billboard 200.

The Chainsmokers‘ “Closer,” featuring Halsey, remains at No. 5 on the Hot 100, after 12 weeks at No. 1. The song extends its record for the most weeks tallied in the top five to 27. A week ago, it passed Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Mars (2015), and LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live” (1997-98), each with 25 top-five weeks.

“Closer” also extends its mark for the most weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 from a title’s debut, having totaled all 30 of its frames on the chart in the top 10 since its arrival at No. 9 on Aug. 20.

“Paris” additionally crowns the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, dethroning “Closer,” which drops to No. 2 after a record 27 weeks at No. 1. (How is “Paris” lower than “Closer” on the Hot 100 but higher on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs? The latter list includes club play points and, in a tight race between the two, “Paris” claims more club points, giving it the edge on that chart.

Even more Chainsmokers: “Something Just Like This,” the duo’s new collab with Coldplay, enters the Hot 100 at No. 56, and Digital Song Sales at No. 21 (33,000), following its Feb. 22 release. Both “Paris” and “Something” are from The Chainsmokers’ first full-length album, Memories…Do Not Open, due April 7.

Rihanna rises 8-7 on the Hot 100 with “Love on the Brain.” A week ago, the song became her 30th top 10, a milestone that only Madonna (the leader with 38 top 10s) and The Beatles (34) had previously achieved. Airplay leads the way for the track, which advances 5-3 on Radio Songs (108 million, up 7 percent).

After debuting at No. 4 on the March 4-dated Hot 100, Katy Perry‘s “Chained to the Rhythm,” featuring Skip Marley, backtracks to No. 8 in its second week.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Big Sean‘s “Bounce Back” does just that, rising 10-9 after reaching No. 6, and Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello‘s “Bad Things” descends 6-10 after rising to No. 4.

Just outside the Hot 100’s top 10, Kygo and Selena Gomez skyrocket from No. 93 to No. 12 with “It Ain’t Me,” following the song’s first full week of tracking.

Future scores his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his new self-titled effort starts atop the list, earning 140,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 23, according to Nielsen Music.

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 March 11, 2017-dated chart (where Future debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

Future’s latest No. 1 is also his fourth leader in a row, following Evol (2016), What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake) and DS2 (both in 2015). It’s likely that Future will notch another No. 1 in short order — as he released another album on Feb. 24: HNDRXX. Industry forecasters suggest the new set could also open atop the tally, bumping Future from the top slot, and giving the artist an unprecedented feat: back-to-back No. 1 debuts in successive weeks.

As for Future’s current No. 1, more than half of its units were powered by streaming activity: 73,000 units (equaling 109 million streams of the album’s songs during the tracking frame). The rest of its units were comprised of traditional album sales (60,000) and track equivalent album units (7,000).

Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic rests at its peak, No. 2, for a fourth nonconsecutive week (59,000 units; down 10 percent). The last album to spend as many weeks at No. 2, without reaching No. 1, was Andrea Bocelli’s My Christmas, which racked up five straight weeks in the runner-up slot in November and December of 2009.

The Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack drops two slots to No. 3 in its second week, with 53,000 units (down 57 percent). The Weeknd’s Starboy climbs one rung to No. 4 with a little more than 50,000 units (down 7 percent). Migos’ Culture slips a position to No. 5 with 50,000 units (down 15 percent). Big Sean’s I Decided. descends 3-6 with 49,000 units (down 21 percent).

The second-highest new entry on the chart belongs to R&B veteran Charlie Wilson, who nabs his fourth top 10 effort with In It to Win It, which debuts at No. 7 with 48,000 units (47,000 from traditional album sales). It’s the singer’s best sales week since 2010, when Just Charlie bowed at No. 19 with 57,000 copies sold. The new album was led by the single “I’m Blessed,” featuring T.I., which has become Wilson’s 10th top 10-charting tune on the Adult R&B Songs airplay chart.

Ryan Adams claims his fifth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the bow of Prisoner at No. 8 (45,000 units; 42,000 in traditional album sales). Adams last visited the top 10 in 2015, with his interpretation of Taylor Swift’s 1989 album, also called 1989. Adams’ version debuted and peaked at No. 7.

Prisoner’s lead single, “Do You Still Love Me,” gave the singer/songwriter his ninth top 10 single on the Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart in January.

Alison Krauss’ new Windy City — her first solo album of new material since 1999’s Forget About It — debuts at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 with 38,000 units (36,000 in traditional album sales). In total, Windy City marks the country and bluegrass artist’s 10th charting effort: she’s charted four solo titles, a collaborative set with Robert Plant, and five with her band Union Station. Though Krauss has been releasing albums since 1985, she did not reach the all-genre Billboard 200 chart until 10 years later, when the retrospective Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection, entered the chart dated Feb. 25, 1995. (Her first album to visit the Top Country Albums chart was 1991’s I’ve Got That Old Feeling, which reached No. 61.)

On the Billboard 200, Krauss has now reached the top 10 four times — with Windy City, Paper Airplane, with Union Station (No. 3 in 2011), Raising Sand, with Robert Plant (No. 2; 2007) and the solo best-of package, A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection (No. 10; 2007).

Rounding out the new Billboard 200’s top 10 is the soundtrack to Trolls, which falls from No. 7 to No. 10 with 37,000 units (down 16 percent).

Sheeran’s “Shape of You” leads an action-packed chart, which includes Perry’s return & Rihanna’s 30th Hot 100 top 10.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” leads the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 4) for a fourth total week.

Meanwhile, action abounds in the top 10, as Katy Perry‘s “Chained to the Rhythm,” featuring Skip Marley, debuts at No. 4 and Bruno Mars, Rihanna and The Weeknd all add new top 10s. Sheeran, Perry, Mars and The Weeknd benefit from performances on the Grammy Awards (Feb. 12), while Rihanna ups her count to 30 career top 10s, a milestone that only an elite three acts have now achieved.

There’s even more: Zayn and Taylor Swift set a new Hot 100 high for a song from the Fifty Shades franchise and The Chainsmokers‘ “Closer,” featuring Halsey, has now spent more time in the top five than any other single in the Hot 100’s entire 58-year history.

Following yesterday’s President’s Day holiday, let’s kick off a very busy recap of the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 22.

“Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, spends a second week atop the Radio Songs chart, up by 9 percent to 145 million in audience in the week ending Feb. 19, according to Nielsen Music, claiming the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a fifth straight week. Following his performance of the song on the Grammys, “Shape” resurges 2-1 for a fourth total week atop Digital Song Sales (200,000 downloads sold, up 74 percent, in the week ending Feb. 16). On Streaming Songs, it holds at No. 2 (37.2 million U.S. streams, up 3 percent).

“Shape,” which becomes Sheeran’s second No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, ushers in his third studio album, ÷, due March 3.

Zayn and Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” rises 3-2 on the Hot 100, hitting a new peak. As parent album the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, following its Feb. 10 release and the arrival of the movie the same day, “Live” lifts 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (143,000, up 31 percent). It also jumps 5-2 on Radio Songs (109 million, up 10 percent), while keeping at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (21.2 million, down 7 percent).

Just as Fifty Shades Darker becomes the franchise’s first Billboard 200 No. 1, besting the No. 2 peak of 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey, “Live” takes over as the highest-charting Fifty Shades Hot 100 hit; it one-ups the No. 3 peaks of the first soundtrack’s “Love Me Like You Do” by Ellie Goulding and “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” by The Weeknd.

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, dips 2-3 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Still, the track tops the Streaming Songs chart for an eighth week with 47.7 million U.S. streams (up 1 percent). It also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for an eighth week (17.8 million on-demand clicks, down 10 percent).

“Bad” falls 8-12 on Digital Song Sales (40,000 downloads sold, down 1 percent) and inches 16-15 on Radio Songs (60 million, down 1 percent). It additionally rules Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a seventh week each.

Katy Perry roars onto the Hot 100 at No. 4 with “Chained to the Rhythm,” featuring Skip Marley. (The debut marks the highest for a song by a lead female since Adele’s “Hello” launched at No. 1 on Nov. 14, 2015.) “Rhythm,” released along with its official lyric video at midnight on Feb. 10 — followed by Perry and Marley’s performance of it on the Grammys two nights later — debuts at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (108,000 first-week downloads sold) and No. 15 on Streaming Songs (14.7 million), while charging 35-20 on Radio Songs (50 million in audience after its first full week of tracking).

Perry scores her 14th Hot 100 top 10 and the third-highest-debuting of her 25 Hot 100 entries. She bowed higher only with “Part of Me” (No. 1, 2012) and “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg (No. 2, 2010). She earns her first top 10 in nearly three years; she was last in the top 10 in January-June 2014 with “Dark Horse” (featuring Juicy J), which spent four weeks at No. 1 (marking her ninth leader).

“Rhythm,” whose official proper video was released today (Feb. 21), previews Perry’s forthcoming studio album, her first since 2013’s PRISM, expected later this year.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” rebounds 7-5 (after 12 weeks at No. 1), and its latest move is historic, as it rewrites the record for the most weeks logged in the top five: 26, or a full six months. It passes Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (2015) and LeAnn Rimes‘ “How Do I Live” (1997-98), each with 25 top-five frames.

“Closer” also extends its record for the most weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10 from a title’s debut, having totaled all 29 of its weeks on the chart in the top 10 since its arrival at No. 9 on Aug. 20. Even more honors: It leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a 27th week, the most at No. 1 since the chart’s January 2013 inception, passing Avicii‘s “Wake Me Up!” (26 weeks, 2013-14).

“Bad Things” by Machine Gun Kelly and current Billboard cover star Camila Cabello drops 5-6 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 4. It’s again led by airplay, as it ranks at No. 6 on Radio Songs (92 million, down 13 percent).

Following his Grammys performance of “That’s What I Like,” along with his Prince tribute, Mars blasts 37-7 on the Hot 100, earning his 14th top 10. The track flies 36-5 on Digital Song Sales (85,000, up 308 percent) and wins the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer award, debuting at No. 20 on Streaming Songs (12.4 million, up 59 percent). It also jumps 36-26 on Radio Songs (43 million, up 22 percent) and, with a 5-1 jump, becomes Mars’ first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart.

“Like” is the follow-up to Mars’ No. 4 Hot 100 hit “24K Magic”; as previously reported, the songs’ parent album 24K Magic surges 7-2 as the Greatest Gainer on the Billboard 200.

Rihanna bounds 13-8 on the Hot 100 with “Love on the Brain,” marking her landmark 30th top 10. The only acts with more? Madonna, with 38, and The Beatles, with 34. (Rihanna breaks a tie for third place with Michael Jackson, who’s tallied 29 top 10s, as a soloist.)

“Brain” moves 6-5 on Radio Songs (101 million, up 7 percent); 17-18 on Digital Song Sales (36,000, up 8 percent); and 25-21 on Streaming Songs (12.6 million, up 7 percent). Perhaps aiding the song’s profile in the tracking period, Rihanna received eight Grammy nominations, including best urban contemporary album for “Brain” parent set ANTI.

Want one more new Hot 100 top 10 this week? Fellow Grammys performer The Weeknd vaults 16-9 on the Hot 100 with “I Feel It Coming,” featuring Daft Punk, after the acts performed the song, as well as prior single “Starboy,” at music’s biggest night. The song is The Weeknd’s sixth Hot 100 top 10 and Daft Punk’s third (and second as featured on a hit by The Weeknd, following the No. 1 “Starboy”).

“Feel” ascends 16-7 on Digital Song Sales (55,000, up 65 percent); 8-7 on Radio Songs (83 million, essentially even week-over-week); and 34-28 on Streaming Songs (10.7 million, up 9 percent).

Wait, that’s four new Hot 100 top 10s, by Perry, Mars, Rihanna and The Weeknd, all in one week. How rare is that kind of turnover? Four songs hadn’t posted their first weeks each in the top 10 simultaneously in nearly six years: On the April 2, 2011-dated chart, The Black Eyed Peas‘ “Just Can’t Get Enough” (22-5), Glee Cast’s “Loser Like Me” (No. 6 debut), Chris Brown‘s “Look at Me Now,” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes (12-8), and Jeremih‘s “Down on Me,” featuring 50 Cent (13-10), all reached the region for the first time.

And, back to 2017: Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Big Sean‘s “Bounce Back” backtracks from its No. 6 peak to No. 10. The song soared from No. 15 a week ago when his new album I Decided. debuted at No. 1 on the Feb. 25-dated Billboard 200. Meanwhile, “Bounce” becomes Big Sean’s fourth No. 1 on the Rhythmic Songs airplay ranking.

The Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, earning 123,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 16, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 72,000 were in traditional album sales. The set was released through Universal Studios/Republic Records on Feb. 10.

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 March 4, 2017-dated chart (where Fifty Shades Darker debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Wednesday, Feb. 22 (one day later than normal due to the President’s Day holiday on Feb. 20).

Fifty Shades Darker is the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey, which saw its companion soundtrack debut and peak at No. 2 on the chart dated Feb. 28, 2015. The new set is the first soundtrack to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since the Suicide Squadalbum spent two weeks atop the lists dated Aug. 27 and Sept. 3, 2016.

The Fifty Shades Darker album was led by the hit single “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” by Zayn and Taylor Swift. Other acts contributing music to the effort include Sia, Halsey, Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj. The film Fifty Shades Darker was released in theaters on the same day its soundtrack reached retailers.

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic rises 7-2 with 66,000 units and a 108 percent gain, following his two performances on the Grammy Awards (Feb. 12). The album sold 36,000 copies during the tracking frame — up 137 percent. On the Grammys, Mars sang 24K Magic’s current single “That’s What I Like,” and contributed to a segment celebrating Prince, by covering his “Let’s Go Crazy.”

24K Magic has now spent three nonconsecutive weeks in the runner-up slot — its peak. It debuted at No. 2 on the list dated Dec. 10, 2016, and then returned to No. 2 on the Jan. 7, 2017 tally. The album has yet to leave the top 10 since debuting on the tally 13 weeks ago.

Big Sean’s I Decided. falls from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week, with 62,000 units (down 59 percent). Migos’ former No. 1, Culture, slips down one rung to No. 4 with 59,000 units (down 14 percent).

The Weeknd’s Starboy holds at No. 5 — though it’s up 15 percent — with 54,000 units. The Weeknd performed a mash-up of two Starboy songs on the Grammy Awards: the title track and “I Feel It Coming,” both alongside Daft Punk.

Adele’s 25, which won the Grammy Award for album of the year, zooms from No. 21 to No. 6 with 47,000 units (up 137 percent). The former No. 1 sold another 30,000 copies in the latest tracking week, gaining 238 percent. Adele also opened the Grammy Awards with a performance of the album’s lead single, “Hello.”

The Trolls soundtrack vaults 14-7 with 44,000 units (up 79 percent) and 32,000 sold (up 110 percent). The set benefits from promotion associated with the film’s release on home video on Feb. 7.

Beyoncé’s Lemonade flies from No. 33 to No. 9, following the diva’s elaborate performance of the set’s “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles” on the Grammy Awards. Lemonade earned another 38,000 units (up 190 percent), selling 29,000 copies (up 241 percent). The album won the Grammy for best urban contemporary album, while its video for the song “Formation” won the best music video trophy.

Rounding out the top 10 is the soundtrack to La La Land, which ascends one position to No. 10 with 33,000 units (up 33 percent).

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” tops the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 25) for a third total week. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga blasts back onto the chart with a record-tying No. 4 re-entry for “Million Reasons” (which had previously peaked at No. 52) after she performed the song during her Super Bowl LI halftime show (Feb. 5).

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

In its fifth week on the Hot 100, “Shape,” released on Atlantic Records, holds at No. 1; it debuted atop the Jan. 28-dated chart, spent the next two weeks at No. 2 and then returned to No. 1 on the Feb. 18-dated list. Sheeran’s first Hot 100 No. 1 as an artist also becomes his first No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart (3-1), gaining by 13 percent to 130 million in audience in the week ending Feb. 12, according to Nielsen Music. He’d previously peaked as high as No. 2 on the airplay tally with x singles “Thinking Out Loud” and “Photograph,” both in 2015. “Shape” earns the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth straight week, the longest streak for a song by a solo male since Justin Bieber‘s No. 1 “Love Yourself” (which Sheeran co-wrote, earning him his first Hot 100 leader as a writer) linked four weeks in January-February 2016.

“Shape” keeps at No. 2 on both Digital Song Sales (115,000 downloads sold, essentially even week-over-week) and Streaming Songs (33.3 million U.S. streams, up 5 percent). The single introduces Sheeran’s third studio album, ÷, due March 3.

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, stays at No. 2 on the Hot 100 after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Still, the track tops the Streaming Songs chart for a seventh week with 47.3 million U.S. streams (down 6 percent). It also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a seventh week (19.7 million on-demand clicks, down 15 percent).

“Bad” drops 5-8 on Digital Song Sales (41,000 downloads sold, down 4 percent) but stays at its No. 16 high on Radio Songs, up 1 percent to 59 million in airplay audience. It additionally rules Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a sixth week each.

Zayn and Taylor Swift‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” remains at its No. 3 peak on the Hot 100. It falls to No. 3 after a second (nonconsecutive) week atop Digital Song Sales, down 20 percent to 109,000, despite a 69-cent iTunes Store sale price; a week earlier, it surged by 124 percent to 137,000 sold following the Jan. 26 premiere of its official video. The collab backtracks 3-4 on Streaming Songs (22.8 million, down 12 percent) but hits the top five on Radio Songs (7-5; 98 million, up 10 percent), becoming Swift’s ninth Radio Songs top five and Zayn’s second.

“Forever” is the lead single from the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, with both the album and the movie having arrived Friday (Feb. 10). As it holds at its No. 3 high, the song remains tied for the highest-charting Hot 100 hit from the Fifty Shades franchise. 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey yielded the No. 3-peaking “Love Me Like You Do” by Ellie Goulding and “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” by The Weeknd.

Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons” vaults back onto the Hot 100 at No. 4 after she performed the Joanne track as part of her Super Bowl halftime show. The ballad makes a revival similar to that of the New England Patriots, who erased a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in the game. In fact, just as the Patriots staged the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history (covering 51 games), Gaga makes a record return on the Hot 100, tying two other songs for the highest re-entry in the chart’s 58-year archives.

“Reasons” originally peaked at No. 52 on the Hot 100 dated Dec. 24, 2016, and had last appeared on the chart dated Feb. 11 (two weeks ago), after an initial 11 weeks on the survey.

Gaga’s No. 4 re-entry on the Hot 100 matches the record No. 4 returns of LL Cool J‘s “Control Myself,” featuring Jennifer Lopez (April 29, 2006), and Dixie Chicks‘ “Not Ready to Make Nice” (March 3, 2007). The former came back after first reaching No. 89 six weeks earlier, driven by its No. 2 debut on Digital Song Sales (as the rapper’s Todd Smith bowed at No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums), while the latter returned after initially climbing to No. 23 in May 2006, following the country trio’s five wins at the Grammy Awards in 2007, including record and song of the year for “Nice.”

“Reasons” re-enters Digital Song Sales at No. 1, up 1,334 percent to 149,000 sold, also boosted by 69-cent iTunes Store sale-pricing. It also surges by 128 percent to 7.6 million U.S. streams. It continues to build in airplay (15 million, up a hefty 50 percent), as it enters the top 20 (21-19) on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart and bullets at No. 32 on Pop Songs.

Gaga earns her 14th top 10 Hot 100 hit and 10th top five single. She last appeared in the top five with the No. 4-peaking “Applause” on the chart dated Sept. 7, 2013. She scores her fifth No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (where “Reasons” first reached No. 6 in December) and first in six years; she last boasted the week’s top-selling song with “Born This Way,” which led for four weeks in February-March 2011.

As previously reported, “Reasons” parent album Joanne rockets 66-2 on the Billboard 200 (74,000 equivalent album units, up 818 percent). The set’s lead single, “Perfect Illusion,” debuted and peaked at No. 15 on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 1. Joanne debuted atop the Nov. 12-dated Billboard 200, arriving as Gaga’s fourth No. 1 set. Meanwhile, another song that Gaga performed in her Super Bowl halftime medley, “Bad Romance,” re-enters the Hot 100 at No. 50 (having peaked at No. 2 for seven weeks in 2009-10). It returns to Digital Song Sales at No. 9 (39,000, up 2,753 percent).

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello‘s “Bad Things” slides to No. 5 from its No. 4 high, led by its No. 4 rank on Radio Songs (105 million, down 5 percent). It tops the Pop Songs airplay chart for a second week.

As his new album I Decided. debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his second leading set, Big Sean notches his third Hot 100 top 10, and ties for his highest-peaking hit, as the album’s “Bounce Back” blasts 15-6. It jumps 8-3 on Streaming Songs (25.8 million, up 31 percent) and 28-21 on Radio Songs (48 million, up 15 percent) and gains by 6 percent to 24,000 sold, despite a 26-31 drop on Digital Song Sales. The hip-hop star scored his first two Hot 100 top 10s in 2012: “Dance (A$$),” featuring Nicki Minaj (No. 10), and as featured on Bieber’s “As Long as You Love Me” (No. 6).

The Chainsmokers‘ “Closer,” featuring Halsey, slip 5-7 on the Hot 100, after spending 12 weeks at No. 1. It extends its record for the most weeks logged in the top 10 from a title’s debut, having totaled all 28 of its weeks on the chart in the top 10 since its bow at No. 9 on Aug. 20. It leads the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 26th week, tying for the most weeks logged at No. 1 since the chart began in January 2013: Avicii‘s “Wake Me Up” also ruled for 26 weeks in 2013-14.

Alessia Cara‘s “Scars to Your Beautiful” rises 10-8 on the Hot 100, its best rank so far. After she performed it on NBC’s Saturday Night Live Feb. 4, the song gains by 19 percent to 27,000 sold.

Maroon 5‘s “Don’t Wanna Know,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, falls to No. 9 on the Hot 100 from its No. 6 highpoint. It also departs the Radio Songs summit after eight weeks on top (1-2; 118 million, down 8 percent), remaining tied with 2012’s “One More Night” for the group’s longest-leading Radio Songs No. 1. (Last week, Interscope Records announced that “Don’t” follow-up “Cold,” featuring Future, will arrive just after midnight tonight.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, more Chainsmokers: “Closer” follow-up “Paris” returns to the region (11-10), following its No. 7 debut, and peak so far, three weeks earlier. It descends 6-10 on Digital Song Sales (39,000, down 4 percent) but rebounds 11-10 on Streaming Songs (16.9 million, down 1 percent) and keeps gaining on Radio Songs (19-17; 59 million, up 3 percent).

Looking ahead to next week’s Hot 100 (dated March 4), Katy Perry should make a splashy start with “Chained to the Rhythm,” featuring Skip Marley. Released Friday (Feb. 10) and performed during last night’s 59th Annual Gammy Awards, the single debuts at No. 20 on Adult Pop Songs (marking her highest entrance among 20 career hits on the chart), No. 24 on Pop Songs and No. 30 on Adult Contemporary (as those charts follow a Monday-Sunday tracking period). Following its first week of sales and streaming (measured Friday-Thursday), the song should make a lofty launch on the Hot 100 next week.

Plus: Lady Gaga places two albums inside the top 10, following her Super Bowl halftime show.

Big Sean nabs his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as I Decided. debuts atop the list, earning 151,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 9, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 65,000 were in traditional album sales. I Decided. was released on Feb. 3 through G.O.O.D./Def Jam Recordings.

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 Feb. 25, 2017-dated chart (where Big Sean debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Feb. 14.

Big Sean previously led the chart with his last album, 2015’s Dark Sky Paradise, which bowed with 173,000 units and 139,000 in traditional album sales. The new album also grants the hip-hop star his fourth top five-charting solo effort (and as one-half of the duo Twenty88, he notched another top five set with the act’s self-titled debut in 2016).

As expected, Lady Gaga’s Joanne album roars from No. 66 to No. 2 with 74,000 units (up 818 percent) and 48,000 copies sold (up 1,054 percent). The former No. 1 album gains following Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show performance on Feb. 5, where she played six of her hits, including the Joanne single “Million Reasons.” Elsewhere in the top 10, Gaga’s The Fame re-enters the tally straight in at No. 6 with 38,000 units (up 986 percent) and 17,000 copies sold (up 1,920 percent). She also bounces back onto the list with Born This Way (No. 25 with 17,000 units; up 1,117 percent) and ARTPOP (No. 174 with 5,000 units; up 420 percent).

Back in the top 10, Migos’ Culture dips from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week, earning another 68,000 units (down 48 percent).

Reba McEntire’s first inspirational album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, starts at No. 4 with 54,000 units (52,000 from traditional album sales). The arrival grants the country superstar her 10^th top 10-charting set on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, and a 13^th leader on the Top Country Albums chart. Sing It Now also launches at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart – McEntire’s first entrance on that tally.

The Weeknd’s Starboy falls one position on the Billboard 200 to No. 5 with 47,000 units (down 7 percent) and, below Gaga’s The Fame at No. 6, Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic is steady at No. 7 with 32,000 units (up 2 percent).

The original Broadway cast recording of Dear Evan Hansen makes a splashy debut in the top 10, as it arrives at No. 8 with 29,000 units (25,000 from traditional album sales — all from downloads). It’s the highest debut on the chart by a cast recording since 1961, when the original Broadway cast recording of Camelot bowed at No. 4 on the mono albums chart (before Billboard combined its then-separate mono and stereo charts into one all-encompassing albums chart in 1963). Indeed, Dear Evan Hansen even outpaced the debut chart position of the successful Hamilton: An American Musical album, which bowed at No. 12 (later peaking at No. 3).

Dear Evan Hansen was released to digital retailers and streaming services on Feb. 3 through Atlantic Records (the same label that released Hamilton). The album’s CD edition will arrive to retailers on Feb. 24.

Dear Evan Hansen also logs the third-largest debut sales week for a cast recording since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking sales in 1991. It follows only the debuts of Hamilton: An American Musical (28,000; in 2015) and Rent (43,000 in 1996).

Remarkably, Dear Evan Hansen is just the fourth cast recording to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 in the last 50 years. In that span of time, the only cast albums to visit the region, before Dear Evan Hansen, were: Hamilton (No. 3 in 2016), The Book of Mormon (No. 3 in 2011) and Hair (No. 1 for 13 weeks in 1969).

Dear Evan Hansen opened on Broadway at Music Box Theatre on Dec. 4, 2016, following preview performances that began on Nov. 14. The show stars Ben Platt (of the first two Pitch Perfect films) and its music and lyrics were written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Pasek and Paul also wrote the bulk of the lyrics for the songs in the movie La La Land, which earned the duo a pair of Academy Award nominations for best original song (“Audition” and “City of Stars”).

Post Malone’s Stoney is a non-mover at No. 9 with 27,000 units (up less than 1 percent).

Rounding out the top 10 is the latest streaming-only compilation: The RCA-List, Vol. 4. It starts at No. 10 with 26,000 units — all from streams. The 36-song effort features a bevy of singles from the RCA label, including many that aren’t found on albums by the various songs’ respective artists.

“Shape of You” rebounds for a second week at No. 1, while “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” jumps 5-3.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 for a second total week atop the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 18). Meanwhile, Zayn and Taylor Swift rise 5-3 with “I Don’t Wanna Love Forever (Fifty Shades Darker),” with both songs benefiting from newly released official videos.

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, Feb. 7.

In its fourth week on the Hot 100, Sheeran’s “Shape of You” returns to No. 1; it had spent the past two weeks at No. 2 following its bow at No. 1 on the Jan. 28-dated chart. With its official video having premiered Jan. 30, the song gains by 19 percent to 31.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It increases by 11 percent to 115,000 downloads sold, although it dips to No. 2 after logging its first three weeks on Digital Song Sales at No. 1. On Radio Songs, “Shape” pushes 5-3 (116 million in audience, up 24 percent), good for the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a third straight week.

Notably, as it ranks at Nos. 2, 2 and 3 on Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales and Radio Songs, respectively, “Shape” is the first song to top the Hot 100 but not rank at No. 1 on any of those component charts in more than six months, since Sia’s “Cheap Thrills,” featuring Sean Paul, led the Hot 100 but not any of those tallies on Aug. 13, 2016.

“Shape” previews Sheeran’s third studio album ÷, due March 3.

Migos‘ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, drops to No. 2 on the Hot 100 after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, fueled in part by memes and tweets playing off the song’s “raindrop, drop top” lyrics. Still, the track tops the Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week with 50 million U.S. streams (up 8 percent), its greatest weekly total yet. It also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week (23.1 million on-demand clicks, up 17 percent).

“Boujee” slides 3-5 on Digital Song Sales (43,000 downloads sold, down 16 percent) but bounds 23-16 on Radio Songs, gaining by 19 percent to 59 million in airplay audience. It additionally rules Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a fifth week each.

As previously reported, Migos’ second full-length, Culture (featuring the track), arrives as the hip-hop trio’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Top R&B Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums.

Zayn and Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)” climbs 5-3 on the Hot 100, a new high for the song in its eighth week on the chart. Following a full week of tracking after the Jan. 26 premiere of its official video, it claims the Hot 100’s top Digital and Streaming Gainer trophies, jumping 2-1 for a second week atop Digital Song Sales (137,000, up 124 percent, aided by a 69-cent sale-price in the iTunes Store) and 12-3 on Streaming Songs (25.7 million, up 58 percent). On Radio Songs, “Forever” flies 11-7 (89 million, up 15 percent), becoming Swift’s 12th Radio Songs top 10 and Zayn’s second.

“Forever” is the lead single from the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, with both the album and the movie arriving Friday (Feb. 10). Notably, as the song reaches No. 3, it ties for the highest-charting hit from the Fifty Shades franchise. 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey yielded the No. 3-peaking Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do” and The Weeknd’s “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey).”

Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello‘s “Bad Things” holds at its No. 4 high on the Hot 100. It backtracks 3-4 on Radio Songs but with a 2 percent gain to 111 million; keeps at No. 4 on Digital Song Sales (43,000, up 3 percent); and descends 11-12 on Streaming Songs, although its total of 16.7 million is essentially even from the prior week. As previously reported, the track tops the Pop Songs airplay chart (2-1), marking Kelly’s first No. 1 on the chart and Cabello’s first as a soloist; before leaving Fifth Harmony, she led the list as a member of 5H with “Work From Home” (featuring Ty Dolla $ign) last June.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, The Chainsmokers‘ “Closer,” featuring Halsey, retreats 3-5, after spending 12 weeks at No. 1. It extends its record for the most weeks logged in the top 10 from a song’s debut, having totaled all 27 of its weeks on the chart in the top 10 since its bow at No. 9 on Aug. 20. Meanwhile, with a 25th week in the top five, “Closer” ties two singles for the most top-five weeks in the chart’s 58-year history: Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (2015) and LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live” (1997-98).

“Closer” also tops the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 25th week, pulling within one of the record for the most weeks at No. 1 since the chart launched in January 2013: Avicii’s “Wake Me Up!” reigned for 26 weeks in 2013-14.

Maroon 5‘s “Don’t Wanna Know,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, reaches a new Hot 100 highpoint, lifting 7-6, while ruling Radio Songs for an eighth week (129 million, down 5 percent). The band ties its longest Radio Songs rule: its “One More Night” led for eight weeks in 2012.

The Weeknd‘s “Starboy” rebounds 8-7 on the Hot 100 after its one week at No. 1, while leading Hot R&B Songs for a 19th week; Drake‘s “Fake Love” climbs to a new best rank on the Hot 100 (9-8); Rae Sremmurd‘s “Black Beatles,” featuring Gucci Mane, slides 6-9, following its seven-week command; and Alessia Cara’s “Scars to Your Beautiful” remains at its No. 10 peak so far. Cara’s song could show gains next week following her performance of it on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this past weekend (Feb. 4).

Just below the Hot 100’s top 10, The Chainsmokers’ “Paris” rebounds 13-11 in its third week, after debuting at No. 7; The Weeknd’s “I Feel It Coming,” featuring Daft Punk, hits a new high (18-16), while becoming his seventh top 10 (and Daft Punk’s third) on Radio Songs (14-10; 76 million, up 10 percent); and Migos’ “T-Shirt,” from Culture, vaults 37-19.

Hip-hop trio Migos scores its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the arrival of Culture. The set — which was led by the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert — launches atop the list with 131,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music. Culture, Migos’ second album, was released on Jan. 27 through Quality Control/300 Entertainment.

The act had previously peaked as high as No. 17 on the Billboard 200 with its debut set, Yung Rich Nation, in August 2015.

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 Feb. 18-dated chart (where Migos debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Culture’s debut was driven by streams of its songs, as streaming equivalent album units accounted for 59 percent of the set’s first-week total (77,000 of 131,000). The album sold 44,000 in traditional album sales and earned 10,000 in track equivalent album units. It also arrives as Migos’ first No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.

Migos leads a busy top 10, as five albums debut in the region. That’s the most new arrivals in the top 10 since the Dec. 24, 2016-dated list, when five titles also bowed in the top 10.

Brantley Gilbert’s The Devil Don’t Sleep debuts at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, with 77,000 units earned in its first week (66,000 from traditional album sales — it’s also the top selling album of the week). It’s the third top five-charting effort for the country singer, following Just as I Am (No. 2 in 2014) and Halfway to Heaven (No. 4 in 2011).

The Devil Don’t Sleep is the highest-charting country title on the Billboard 200 since the Nov. 19, 2016-dated tally, when Kenny Chesney’s Cosmic Hallelujah debuted and peaked at No. 2. Gilbert’s new album also starts at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, securing the artist his second leader on that list, after Just as I Am.

Back on the Billboard 200 chart, singer/songwriter Kehlani bows at No. 3 with her debut studio effort ,SweetSexySavage, earning 58,000 units (32,000 in traditional album sales). It follows her No. 36-peaking mixtape You Should Be Here, which was released in 2015 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for best urban contemporary album.

SweetSexySavage scored a top 40-charting single on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart last November, with “CRZY,” which peaked at No. 34.

The Weeknd’s Starboy slips from No. 1 to No. 4 on the new Billboard 200 with 51,000 units (down 10 percent).

The Now 61 compilation album starts at No. 5 with 37,000 units (all from traditional album sales). The long-running series has seen all 61 of its main (numbered) albums reach the top 10.

The soundtrack to La La Land is pushed down three slots to No. 6, though it boasts a 15 percent gain, rising to 36,000 units earned in the week. The album scored a 27 percent increase in sales (climbing to 25,000 copies sold), thanks in part to a surge in vinyl LP sales for the set (5,000; up 453 percent). The title became widely available on black vinyl on Jan. 27 after a limited release on blue vinyl.

Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic falls 4-7 with 31,000 units earned (though it’s up two percent).

Train rolls in at No. 8 with its sixth top 10-charting album, A Girl a Bottle a Boat, starting with 30,000 units earned (23,000 in traditional album sales). The band recently notched its 14^th top 10 hit on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart with the album’s “Play That Song.”

Train previously hit the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with Bulletproof Picasso (No. 5 in 2014), California 37 (No. 4, 2012), For Me, It’s You (No. 10, 2006), My Private Nation(No. 6, 2003) and Drops of Jupiter (No. 6, 2001).

Rounding out the new top 10 are Post Malone’s Stoney (7-9 with a little more than 27,000 units; up five percent) and the soundtrack to Moana (6-10 with 27,000 units; down less than one percent).
