Chart Check [Hot 100]: Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape’ Scores 10th Week At #1

Published: Wednesday 5th Apr 2017 by Rashad

Ed Sheeran‘s blockbuster single, ‘Shape of You,’ refuses to loosen its grip on the top spot of the Hot 100 and holds tight to the position for a 10th non-consecutive week.

To add to the impressiveness of the feat, Billboard reports the song – despite the advancements of competition from the likes of Bruno Mars, The Chainsmokers, and more – is still trumping all opponents in every component referenced for data to compile chart placements (streaming, radio airplay, and sales).  In its 10th week alone, the tune has actually increased radio impressions, amassed another 46.2 million streams, and added 85,000 digital downloads to its overall tally.

Billboard elaborates:

Impressively, “Shape” has topped the Hot 100 and its three main component charts (Digital Song Sales, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs) simultaneously for four weeks running.

Since Streaming Songs launched in early 2013 (as the most-recently-added of the three lists), only two songs had previously led the trio of charts (as well as the Hot 100) for at least four straight weeks at the same time: “Closer” (six weeks, 2016) and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars (six, 2015).

Phwew!  See who joins him in the top 25 on this week’s refreshed Chart Check:  Hot 100:

    And not only that, but his album has so far sold 3 million copies worldwide.

    How come Adele, Taylor, Ed, Bruno can chart both singles and albums but a certain album seller can’t? I smell a rat.
