Justin Bieber Dominates Hot 100 Following 'Purpose' Release But Can't Beat Adele's 'Hello'

It's a good week to be Justin Bieber. Not only did his new album Purpose debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (beating One Direction in the process), but the pop superstar also has three songs in the top five on the Hot 100. Though the Biebz couldn't overcome Adele's "Hello" for the No. 1 spot, his new songs "What Do You Mean," "Love Yourself" and "Sorry" all fared well on the charts.

Bieber, who has 17 songs total in the Hot 100 (a new record), dominates the top five on the charts. His latest Purpose single "Sorry" rises slightly to No. 2, returning to its peak thanks to a jump in radio play (68 million audience impressions) and a massive 23 percent rise in streams to 26.5 million plays, Billboard reports.

Beneath his chart high, Bieber has a new song debut in the top 10: the Ed Sheeran penned kiss-off song "Love Yourself," which starts its chart run at No. 4. "Love Yourself," which is not an official single, reaches its massive high thanks to 17.4 million streams and a second-best digital songs spot with 141,000 copies sold.

Bieber's top five domination is rounded out with his first No. 1 single, "What Do You Mean?" which rises respectably one spot this week back up to No. 5.

Though Bieber did incredibly well on the charts this week, his Purpose trio is no match for the power of Adele's "Hello," which spends a fourth week at No. 1. Adele blew Bieber out of the water, topping streaming, sales and radio play, and thus easily grabbing the top spot ahead of the official release of 25.

The top five's other single is Drake's "Hotline Bling," which falls slightly to No. 3.

Outside of the Bieber-packed top five, The Weeknd continues to hang in the top 10 with "The Hills," which previously topped the Hot 100 for six weeks. The Weeknd's Canadian brother Shawn Mendes falls out of the top five this week with "Stitches," which dropped down to No. 7, no thanks to his predecessor Bieber. Nos. 8 and 9 are also familiar grounds for followers of the Hot 100. Fetty Wap continues to dominate the charts in 2015 with "679," which fell to No. 8 this week. Similarly, Taylor Swift also hangs into the charts with "Wildest Dreams" at No. 9.

Besides Bieber's "Love Yourself," another new track entered the top 10 this week: Alessia Cara's "Here." Cara only rose one spot, but it was the best spot to break into as she gets the No. 10 slot. Cara had mild gains on radio (8 percent rise), digital sales (6 percent) and streaming (7 percent) and that was enough to bump Elle King's "Ex's and Oh's" from the top 10.
