Khalid‘s ‘Talk’ has fans listening that’s for sure.
The Disclosure-produced cut – which serves as the first single from the 21-year-old’s first Billboard 200 chart-topper, ‘Free Spirit’ – has soared to the #3 position on this week’s refreshed Hot 100. The move not only grants the singer-songwriter his first top 5 placement on the tally as a leading act, but also comes as his highest charting solo single to date.
Fans familiar with his work know this isn’t his first run in the top 5 overall as he reached #3 as a feature alongside Alessia Cara on rapper Logic‘s ‘1-800-273-8255’ in September 2017.
As we cheer him on from the sidelines, look inside to see who joins ‘Talk’ in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:
Bruno Mars‘ ascension to the top of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 came attached to some historic stats, some that have even aligned him with some of music history’s most celebrated male acts.
