Adele: dominate sales
"Hello" is once again saying a friendly greeting to the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100, Billboard reports. Though her song's sales stumbled to No. 2 in the country (getting bested by The Voice's Jordan Smith's cover of "Somebody to Love"), she still moved an impressive 158,000 copies of the song and ruled over radio and streams, making her another easy No. 1 victor.
Though Adele may have the top spot, she doesn't dominate the top 10 of the Hot 100 - that honor would go to Justin Bieber. He has three songs in the top 5: "Sorry" (at No. 2), his lead single "What Do You Mean" (No. 4) and fan-favorite track "Love Yourself" (No. 5).
Though the power of Bieber is strong, "What Do You Mean" and "Love Yourself" are still no match for Drake... his latest single "Hotline Bling" sticks at No. 3 for the fourth week in a row. (Bieber's "Sorry" is also holding onto its No. 2 spot for a fourth week, meaning the top four songs in the country have been stagnant for an entire month.)
Beneath the iron block of Bieber in the top five, The Weeknd's "The Hills" falls down to No. 6 while the Grammy-nominated R&B star moves on to his latest Beauty Behind the Madness single "In the Night." Shawn Mendes' "Stitches" was also displaced by the rise of Bieber's "Love Yourself" from No. 7 to 5, sliding down one spot to No. 7 himself.
The Hot 100's top 10 saw no new entries this week. Thus, it is rounded out by Alessia Cara's breakout single "Here" at No. 8, Selena Gomez's "Same Old Love" at a new No. 9 high and Meghan Trainor's "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" at No. 10.
