Another round of applause for OMI. For the fourth week in a row, the Jamaican singer has held on to the top singles spot in the country with his summer hit "Cheerleader," besting The Weeknd, Silento, Fetty Wap and more to crown the Billboard Hot 100.
"Cheerleader" is able to hold off The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" for a second week, according to Billboard, thanks to a 5 percent increase in chart activity. Though "Cheerleader" dropped to No. 2 on the Digital Songs chart with 148,000 copies sold, increases in radio play and streaming helped to hold The Weeknd off, though it seems as though "Can't Feel My Face" is coming for the top of the charts.
This week, The Weeknd topped the downloads chart, moving slightly over 148,000 copies and barely outselling "Cheerleader." "Can't Feel My Face" also held strong at No. 2 on overall radio play and had a mild increase in streams thanks to its new music video. However, Billboard reports that The Weeknd's high profile performance at Lollapalooza and a full tracking week for the "Can't Feel My Face" video can help launch the track to No. 1 next week.
The rest of the top five, like the lead two songs, remains stagnant. Silento's "Watch Me" holds at No. 3 for a second week, followed by the five week No. 4, Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" and Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" at No. 5.
The big riser this week on the charts goes to Major Lazer's "Lean On" featuring MØ, which rose from No. 10 to 6 thanks to an 18 percent increase in radio play and mild increases in streaming and sales. The big rise of "Lean On" bumps the bottom four songs on the chart down a spot.
Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and "My Way" still hold back-to-back spots, just not at Nos. 7 and 8 (respectably). Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" slipped down to No. 9 and Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" fell to No. 10.
