Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Mark Ronson's former 14-week No. 1 "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, returns to the region and ties a notable record: "Funk" matches the mark for the most weeks, 25, spent in the top five in the Hot 100's five-and-a-half-decade history. It equals the 25-week top five stay of LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" in 1997-98.
Weeks In Top 10 27 Uptown Funk! 20 Sugar 15 Earned It 12 Trap Queen 9 See You Again 8 Shut Up + Drive 6 Want To Want Me 4 Nasty Freestyle 2 Bad Blood & Hey Mama
I still have faith, as it climbs on radio. It's top 10 on radio, more or less top 10 on streaming and top 15 combined in sales. I hope that "Sugar" and "Nasty Freestyle" fall out next week and Andy and Tove replace them.
Looks like BB won't return to the top spot without extra promo because its sales need to increase to regain the top spot and I don't think the video alone will be helping since the song isn't on Spotify.

Wow! I'm the only one who got the Top Five right this time! That's a first! I predicted "Uptown Funk" would jump "Earned It" and get back in the Top Five! Due to its steady week at airplay and boost in sales! I bet EI's huge airplay drop today (on chart day) is what wound up making the difference.
