Chart Check: Bruno Mars Wins, Ne-Yo Notches New Top 10 [Hot 100]

Bruno Mars’ megahit ‘Uptown Funk‘ seems to have no intention on going downtown Billboard Hot 100 avenue as it reigns for a 9th consecutive week.

The feat not only gives Mars’ his longest running reign on the chart’s perch, but also pencils him in history books into an exclusive club of hitmakers to ever lead the Hot 100 and Official UK Singles chart for at least 7 weeks (Bryan Adams“(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” 1991; Whitney Houston‘s “I Will Always Love You,” 1992-93; and Rihanna‘s “Umbrella,” featuring Jay Z, 2007 complete the quartet).

Elsewhere in the top 10, the only new faces seen are those of serial pop hitmakers Pitbull & Ne-Y0 with their hit ‘The Time of Our Lives,’ marking the latter’s first appearance on the Hot 100 in over 2 years!  See where they landed as well as the other movement on the single’s chart below:

Hot 100

1.  Bruno Mars – ‘Uptown Funk’

2.  Ed Sheeran – ‘Thinking Out Loud’

3.  Maroon 5 – ‘Sugar’

4.  Elle Goulding – ‘Love Me Like You Do’

5.  Rihanna, Kanye West, & Paul McCartney – ‘FourFiveSeconds’

6.  Hozier – ‘Take Me To Church’

7.  Taylor Swift – ‘Style’

8.  Taylor Swift – ‘Blank Space’

9.  The Weeknd’s ‘Earned It’

10.  Pitbull & Ne-Yo – ‘Time of Our Lives’

    I bet will be top 10 next week

    • Boo Boo Kitty March 5, 2015

      I bet that I Bet won’t be in the top 40…ever!

  2. Stephy. March 4, 2015

    Yasss! The Prince of POP Bruno is SLAYING! I called it! Uptown SLAYAGE will be #1 for at-least 10 weeks or MORE. Slay baby BOY!

    • Boo Boo Kitty March 5, 2015

      And no Black artist can crack the top 40 with the very same sound since the last five years… #racism

  3. Slay_Hive March 5, 2015

    This list is a mess. The Hot 100 used to be so diverse, with R&B/Hip Hop leading.

      • Slay_Hive March 5, 2015

        I meant diverse as in genres and races b****! I’m sure if Beyonce would have performed or promoted 7/11 it could have made top ten easily, being that it sat in the top twenty for months alone. 🙂

      • Boo Boo Kitty March 5, 2015

        BEYONCÉ had other singles that deserved to be in the top ten and she still sold millions with only one hit. She’ll be alright. There are other R&B artists with very good tunes whose record labels won’t support so that the budgets go to Adele, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Pink, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, etc.

    • LB March 5, 2015

      You’re just mad 7/11 ain’t cutting it. The hot 100 is fine the way it is, no trash like 7/11 making it through.

      • Slay_Hive March 5, 2015

        Didn’t Markesha just say that? You’ve become so lame and redundant. kii Bey wasn’t desperate for a hit and sending out a thousand twitter links to her single, every hour.

  4. No favs, just here for the music March 5, 2015

    “DON’T BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH”

    hahahaha love it

  5. Arianator Barb March 5, 2015

    Get sick on my tits, it is just pop art, get me a hit on the billboard charts

    I wanna be that G.A.Y., the gags adored by you

  6. BeyRihLiyah March 5, 2015

    Fourfive slaying still! welp Ciara is still missing from the charts

    • Molly March 5, 2015

      Damn Ciara stays on your mind.

      • Mark111 March 5, 2015

        But she can’t stay on the charts, lol!

      • Boo Boo Kitty March 5, 2015

        Mark snatched up Molly’s wig. Yaaaaasss!!!

  7. Arianator Barb March 5, 2015

    Y’all do realise that he stole Trinidad James’lyrics from all gold everything right? Y’all talk so bad about ratchet music and yet it’s responsible for the “good” music. F*** this top ten btw, wack ass b*******. Imma take my ass and twerk at Cititrends like a real g. HOODBYE!!

    • AmbeRussell March 5, 2015

      Because he says “don’t belive me just watch”? That lyric isn’t a ratchet lyric taken from James song. I wasn’t even thinking if that song when I hear uptown funky. Also, James had 0 respect from the rap community and music community and all gold everything was a fad song that had little to no inspiration to up town funk

  8. CherylSoldierr March 5, 2015

    Screaming how yall literally copy and paste from billboard every single week lmao

    • Molly March 5, 2015

      Lol hey baby

    • Mark111 March 5, 2015

      We’ll never see this name on it tho. Cheryl Coleslaw.

      • LB March 5, 2015

        I don’t think we’ll be seeing that name on the Official Charts Company charts anytime soon too

      • CherylSoldierr March 5, 2015

        That self drag kiii. It’s been 15 years since soil has seen any chart

  9. TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

    Bruno! I’m so proud of you. I remember when you first went solo and sold 55-60k the first week and no one believed me when I told them that you would go multiplatinum. Taylor is really slaying right about now. Two top 10 hits in the same week. Rihanna still in the Top 5. Congrats to all.

    • No favs, just here for the music March 5, 2015

      That brought a huge smile to my face

      I’m so fuxking happy for Bruno

      • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

        Me too. He’s one of the few artists of our generation that I admire already. Bruno, Frank, Miguel, The Weekend, Elijah, & Alvester are my favs from the 2010’s decade.

    • BeyRihLiyah March 5, 2015

      hey 🙂

      • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

        Hey honey bunch

    • BeyRihLiyah March 5, 2015

      how are you doing ?

      • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

        So tired. I had to stay up and finish some math homework. Hru??

      • BeyRihLiyah March 5, 2015

        aww hope you finish I been good just working I havent had much time to comment on this blog lately but when I did check in on the articles I saw you were dragging the lessors

      • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

        Is that what I was doing? Haha. It’s way easier to drag when I’m on my period, so you know… lol. I really don’t understand this blog. You have shady queens writing hate articles on artists and pressed haters shading artists in the comments. It’s like no one is safe.

  10. Molly March 5, 2015

    Aww fivefourseconds is really holding on this just shows navy will buying anything even if a song is a snooze fest. #KudosAidsvy

  11. african music lover March 5, 2015

    The Navy know how to support their fav,the song is wack but its still holding in the top 5 so congrats, but Bruno is slaying this guys..Congrats to everybody

  12. kay for Toni Braxton March 5, 2015

    Awwwwwww awesome for bruno!!! Keep slaying, and FourFiveSeconds is doing well.. Nice!! I like the song, it’s just a different RiRi.

  13. LB March 5, 2015

    FourFiveSeconds will be platinum by next week, it has already reached “sales” of 900K, if it continues “selling” like this, it might be one of Rihanna’s huge sleeper hits, like Looovvveee ssoonnnggg.

    Anyway congrats to everyone on the hot 100, Bruno is serving with that song.

  14. Career Ender March 5, 2015

    Bruno have to go 10 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS at #1 no artist have done it this decade if not mistaken (did ke$ha?) ….rihanna got disrupted by psy
    .
    .
    .Bruno Mars >>>>>>>> all these basic popstars male or female doesn’t matter

  15. moe March 5, 2015

    JLO is coming for the chart with her ballad mid tempo . FEEL THE LIGHT . AMAZIN. THE HOT 100 IS GREAT THIS TIME

  16. Danny Bey March 5, 2015

    I wish they would stop calling a Bruno Mars song when it’s Mark Ronson FEATURING Bruno Mars. I hate when they do that. Like give the artist his due credit. Nonetheless, Congrats Bruno. And I’m also happy The Weeknd has it first solo top 10.

    • Danny Bey March 5, 2015

      *his

    • blue March 5, 2015

      the featured artist contributes too, and on a song like UF where bruno does all the heavy lifting calling it his song is not such a crime

      • Danny Bey March 5, 2015

        I never said the featured artist doesn’t contribute. I simply said the artist whose song it is shouldn’t be neglected simply bc he’s not singing on it. You wouldn’t say Carlos Santana’s “Smooth” was Rob Thomas’ song.

  17. JOHNVIDAL March 5, 2015

    Why the hell do they let people like Pitbull enter the hot 10 or any chart really? Or NeYo´s most generic singles? Both are what we could call flops, but nowadays low standards and the new rules let such bad, basic and generic songs enter the charts. Nobody will remember any of it.
    And why is Taylor Swift this big force again? Appalling.
    Congrats to Bruno though. One of the few big talents on the charts. Also congrats to Hozier, great song and their performance with Annie Lenox was one of the 3 best at the grammys.

    • Sue March 5, 2015

      Mad because Mariah and Gaga ain’t doing it sis?

  18. blue March 5, 2015

    we found love holds the record of spending 10 weeks this decade, bruno will for sure do at least 11-12 weeks

  19. Taylor swifts number 1 fan!! March 5, 2015

    I like numbers 7 and 8 the most lol

  20. LASTONE March 5, 2015

    I WOULDN’T MIND UPTOWN FUNK STAY AT #1 FOR 21 WEEKS… IT’S A DOPE SONG AND BRUNO IS A BRILLIANT ARTIST HE DOESN’T FOLLOW TRENDS HE SET THEM!

  21. Sherry March 5, 2015

    Bruno is so amazing! His artistry trumps damn near every pop artist out right now. I think FFS will be a sleeper hit. It probably won’t go #1, but it will stick around in the top 10 for a long time like “Stay”.

  22. robyn March 5, 2015

    Congrats to mark n bruno but geez let other artist’s in lol thinking out loud has bin numbr2 4ever I’m so tired of those 2songs all togethr. My faves on da list rihanna ffs taylor style n the weeknd I’m routng 4them

  23. rihicon March 5, 2015

    I don’t really care for uptown funk but congrats to bruno. fourfiveseconds still slaying

  24. FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

    BRUNO IS KING!!!!!!

    Continue blocking 5Head!

  25. Rosie March 5, 2015

    Wow, all of the GOOD music coming out this year (in spring alone, actually) and the charts look like that. That’s why no one listens to radio anymore.

  26. Blue Ivy Rod (fourfivesecondsofSeethin) March 5, 2015

    Bruno is amazing but the song is starting to get on my nerves… I think it’s time he came out with a new single

  27. whenindoubtthetruthwillout March 5, 2015

    You do realise that it isn’t Bruno Mars’ single.It was written and produced by Mark Ronson.Bruno is only the guest vocalist!!!!!!

    So congrats to Mark!!!!!!

  28. (Rihyonce) March 5, 2015
