Published: Thursday 9th Feb 2017 by Rashad

After a temporary dethronement by rap group Migos‘ viral hit ‘Bad & Boujee’ (read more about that by clicking here), Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Shape Of You’ has returned to the top of the Hot 100 this week.

Reigning atop the tally for the second non-consecutive week since its debut four weeks ago, the tune’s resurgence is certainly thanks to some handsome streaming radio airplay.  Billboard reports:

“With its official video having premiered Jan. 30, the song gains by 19 percent to 31.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It increases by 11 percent to 115,000 downloads sold…”

Alongside ‘Castle on the Hill,’ ‘Shape’ serves as the leading single from Sheeran’s highly anticipated new album ÷’ (pronounced ‘Divide’) due in stores March 3rd.  But, before you rush to preorder the set, tuck in below to see who joined Sheeran on this week’s updated Hot 100 Chart Check:
