Can no one stop the funk? For the ninth week in a row, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" is giving it to you by topping the Billboard Hot 100. Despite the nine week reign of Ronson and Mars, Maroon 5's new single "Sugar" is coming for the top of the charts as Adam Levine sits on the new season of The Voice and Pitbull's new party-friendly anthem "Time of Our Lives" cracks into the top 10.
Though it seems like everyone has already bought or played "Uptown Funk" out, the throwback single still tops all three leading chart components, topping digital downloads (240,000 copies), streams and the radio play, Billboard reports.
Despite slipping slightly in overall chart points, "Uptown Funk" still easily beat the No. 2 song, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. Sheeran's been holding steady at the No. 2 for seven weeks, keeping the tippy top of the chart stagnant for just that amount of time.
Beneath the unstoppable Mars and Sheeran juggernauts, Maroon 5's third single from its new album V "Sugar" rose two spots at the band kicked off its tour and Levine began his run as a coach on season eight of The Voice. "Sugar" rose 8 percent in sales, with 178,000 copies and had similar steady rises on radio and streaming.
Thus, Maroon 5 was able to bump Ellie Goulding's Fifty Shades of Grey track "Love Me Like You Do" down to No. 4.

As Taylor Swift's latest 1989 single "Style" rises on the chart, hitting at No. 7, her previously promoted track "Blank Space" slips to No. 8, giving us another week of back-to-back Swift on the charts.
Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, The Weeknd's "Earned It" holds at No. 9, as Pitbull and Ne-Yo break into the top of the chart with "Time of Our Lives," which climbed to No. 10 this week. The song, from Pitbull's Globalization saw huge rises on radio play, streaming and sales, leading to its final bump into the top of the charts.
