"Uptown Funk" is gonna give it to ya, all you other songs from the 2010s. For the 13th week in a row, the Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson Uptown Special single tops the Billboard Hot 100, setting the record for the longest-reigning No. 1 song of the decade. And while there seems to be no end in sight for the dominance of the funky throwback anthem, a newcomer, pop singer Natalie La Rose emerges in the top 10 with her single "Somebody" featuring Jeremih.
"Uptown Funk" crowns the Hot 100 for the record-setting 13th week in a row, according to Billboard. The hot track has eclipsed Robin Thicke's now-controversial single "Blurred Lines" as the longest-running No. 1 of the '10s by one week. The Mars/Ronson collaboration continues its dominance by leading the Digital Downloads chart yet again with 165,000 units sold and a big hold on radio play in all formats.
The top four spots of the Hot 100 remain stagnant for the third week in a row, with Maroon 5's "Sugar," Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" keeping things steady at Nos. 2-4, respectively.
Just beneath the iron-clad top four, The Weeknd comes into the top five with his Fifty Shades of Grey single "Earned It." The No. 6 single Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" sees a similar rise, vaulting up two positions.
Taylor Swift keeps things steady on the Hot 100 with "Style" at No. 7, followed by a slipping Rihanna with "FourFiveSeconds" as it descends to No. 8. Flo Rida saw minimal gains with "G.D.F.R." as it climbs one more spot to No. 9.
The final spot on the top 10 comes from the only newcomer to the list, as Dutch pop singer Natalie La Rose rises three spots to No. 10 with her debut single "Somebody." Blending together Whitney Houston's "I Want to Dance with Somebody" and LMFAO's "Shots," the new single saw gains in sales, radio play and streams leading it to vault from No. 13 to No. 10.
