OMI 'Cheerleader' Leads The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Fetty Wap on Hot 100

It's another week on top for OMI. For the sixth non-consecutive week, the Jamaican singer's summer smash single "Cheerleader" sits atop the Billboard Hot 100. For the second week in a row, OMI was able to hold off The Weeknd from the top of the charts, though everyone from Selena Gomez to Fetty Wap are making major gains on the chart.

Despite losing out on radio play and sales to The Weeknd, streaming helped to boast OMI's "Cheerleader" to spend a second straight week at No. 1, Billboard reports. Though he doesn't actually hold the top spot on any of those charts, three official music videos and a boost from Spotify has helped OMI secure the top of the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, after eclipsing OMI for one week in mid-August, The Weeknd's second Beauty Behind the Madness single "Can't Feel My Face" spends a second straight week at No. 2. Despite its runner-up status on the charts, The Weeknd holds the most-heard song on radio and most-purchased song title. But low streaming numbers (after initial boosts from his fiery music video) kept The Weeknd from the chart's summit.

OMI and The Weeknd aren't the only ones to hold on to their spots for a second week. The top five songs in the country remain stagnant this week. Silento's "Watch Me," Major Lazer's "Lean On" and The Weeknd's "The Hills" hold at Nos. 3, 4 and 5.

Beneath the top five, Selena Gomez's new single "Good For You" rises four spots to a new high at No. 6. The sexy song was aided by a radio push and a slight increase on the Digital Downloads chart. She's followed by Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" at No. 7.

Fetty Wap continues his big year with a new song in the top 10: his third single "679," which rose five spots to No. 8. This is the third single in a row from Wap to reach the top 10, and Billboard notes he's the first rapper since Chingy to bring his first three songs into the peak of the Hot 100. Wap follows "679" up with himself. "Trap Queen" sits at No. 9 this week.

Meanwhile, at the very bottom of the top 10, Walk the Moon's hit rock single "Shut Up and Dance" reemerges into the top 10 after rising four spots.
