'Uptown Funk' Holds No.1 on Hot 100 as Wiz Khalifa Climbs Chart with 'Furious 7' Single 'See You Again'

It was another deeply funky week in America. For the 14th week in a row, the seemingly unstoppable pop music force "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars crowned the Billboard Hot 100, tying the likes of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Elton John for the second longest run at the top of the charts.

"Uptown Funk" once again leads streaming and radio plays this week, easily giving it the No. 1 position over Maroon 5, Ellie Goulding or The Weeknd, according to Billboard. As Mars and Ronson settle in for another week on top, Maroon 5 keeps playing second fiddle with "Sugar" at No. 2. Goulding and The Weeknd's Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack singles "Love Me Like You Do" and "Earned It" rise one spot apiece to Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.

The continued dominance of "Uptown Funk" still comes despite the fact that Mars and Ronson's single fell to No. 2 on the digital downloads chart, giving that honor to Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Push's Furious 7 single "See You Again." Khalifa's heartbreaking new single vaulted up 74 spots to No. 10 this week, thanks to the debut of Furious 7 in theaters. Sales of "See You Again" increased by 488 percent with 168,000 copies sold.

Between The Weeknd at No. 4 and Khalifa at No. 10, the Hot 100 is filled with familiar tunes to pop music fans. Ed Sheeran's former No. 2 single "Thinking Out Loud" continues to slide down the chart, falling two spots to No. 5 this week. Beneath Sheeran, Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and Taylor Swift's "Style" hold steady at Nos. 6 and 7, respectively.

Hip-hop keeps a stronghold on the bottom of the chart. Flo Rida and Sage The Gemini's "G.D.F.R." rose one spot this week to No. 8, swapping spots with Rihanna's lead "R8" single "FourFiveSeconds," which fell one notch down to No. 9.
