After a few weeks of gains, losses and shakeups on the Billboard Hot 100, this week (May 13), things return to business as usual with a largely stagnant chart. For the fifth week in a row, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's Furious 7 single "See You Again" owns the charts, with releases from Fetty Wap, Mark Ronson and Walk The Moon holding tight onto their top five posisions.
"See You Again" nabs the top spot in the United States for the fifth week in a row, Billboard reports. Thanks to a 38 percent gain on radio and No. 1 spots on the Streaming and On-Demand songs lists, "See You Again" easily nabs the No. 1 spot over Wap's "Trap Queen," which holds at No. 2 for the second straight week.
Despite a 13 percent rise in sales to 120,000 digital downloads sold, "Trap Queen" still plays second fiddle in the U.S. But the hip-hop and R&B ownership of the charts doesn't end there. As the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack saw a huge bump in sales due to Mother's Day, The Weeknd's single "Earned It" saw a similar small bump on the Hot 100, swapping spots with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" to rise back to its No. 3 height.
Thus, it follows that "Uptown Funk," the seemingly unstoppable 14-week No. 1 single, continues its chart decline to No. 4. Meanwhile, Ronson has moved on to his next Uptown Special single "Feel Right" featuring Mystikal.
The top five in the country feels familiar this week, as Walk The Moon rounds things out at No. 5 with its breakout hit "Shut Up and Dance."
No. 5 wasn't the only song to stay put this week on the Hot 100. Maroon 5's "Sugar," Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" and Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me" all stick at Nos. 6 though 8, respectively.

Flo Rida's "G.D.F.R." also finds a rebound. After being bumped out of the top 10 last week by the viral hit "Nasty Freestyle" by T-Wayne, "G.D.F.R." bounced back this week at No. 10.
