The Weeknd is back on top of the charts this week. After his new album Beauty Behind the Madness dropped on Friday (Aug. 28), his fiery single "Can't Feel My Face" overtook OMI's single "Cheerleader" yet again to lead the Hot 100.
"Can't Feel My Face" is the No. 1 single in the United States for the second, non-consecutive week, according to Billboard. The return to the chart's summit comes courtesy of its No. 1 spot on radio across all formats; concurrently the song slipped in digital downloads and streams but it was still enough to overcome "Cheerleader," which is No. 2 at radio, sales and slips to No. 4 on streams.
This week marks a largely successful one for The Weeknd; his lead BBTM single "The Hills" rises to a new high as well at No. 4. Like "Can't Feel My Face," "The Hills" saw a major dip in sales (due to fans completing single purchases to download the full Beauty Behind the Madness album) but it increased 16 percent in streams and 44 percent on radio.
Between The Weeknd singles and OMI, Silento's viral hit "Watch Me" holds at its No. 3 high. The top five is completely familiar this week, with Major Lazer's "Lean On" falling one spot to No. 5 to round that out.
Beneath the top five, Selena Gomez's lead Revival single "Good for You" holds at its No. 6 high.
Gomez barely edged out Fetty Wap's third hit single "679," which continues its climb up the charts this week at No. 7. Wap is seeing continued success on the Hot 100 with his first big single "Trap Queen" maintaining its No. 9 position from last week.
Between Wap singles, a new song broke into the top 10 courtesy of R. City. The songwriting duo (best known for their work with Miley Cyrus and The Pussycat Dolls) finally have their own hit with "Locked Away," featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine. The single is the top-selling track in the country with 91,000 copies sold and has seen increases in radio play and streams leading to its new No. 8 high.
To round out the charts, Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" falls three spots to No. 10.
