It's a very stagnant week in American pop music, as Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson reign supreme for the 12th straight week with "Uptown Funk." As the stronghold on the No. 1 spot in the country stays locked in, minimal moves were made for Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and top 10 newcomer Flo Rida with "G.D.F.R."
Yes, the Uptown Special funk continues with "Uptown Funk" for the 12th week in a row, according to Billboard. The song still maintains a stronghold in digital downloads with 187,000 copies sold. "Uptown Funk" also hits the top of Radio Songs and Streaming Songs, for a lock-in at No. 1 that seemingly has no end in sight.
The top seven songs in the country remain the same as last week, with Maroon 5 holding tight at No. 2 with "Sugar" after unseating Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" on March 18, and Sheeran still sticks at No. 2. Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do," Rihanna's "FourFiveSeconds," The Weeknd's "Earned It' and Taylor Swift's "Style" all maintain their positions at Nos. 4 through 7, respectively.
The bottom portion of the top 10 gets some minor shakeups. Though Pitbull and Ne-Yo's "Time of Our Lives" holds tight onto its No. 9 peak, Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" continues to rise, climbing up two spots to No. 8 this week. The debut single from the New Jersey rapper also tops the Hot Rap Songs chart, thanks to 76,000 digital downloads and 10.6 million streams.
A new song in the top 10 rounds things out, as Flo Rida's Sage the Gemini and Lookas collaboration "G.D.F.R." (Going Down For Real) rose three spots to No. 10 (knocking out Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down"). Flo Rida's first appearance in the top 10 since 2012's "I Cry" got there thanks largely in part to its 101,000 downloads.
The highest debut on the Hot 100 this week went to Kendrick Lamar, whose To Pimp A Butterfly track "King Kunta" started at No. 61.
