Number 5: The Chainsmokers Featuring Halsey "Closer" The action starts in fifth place, where the Chainsmokers and Halsey rebound two slots with \u201cCloser.\u201d This song is now a record-setter – it has spent 26 total weeks \u2013 six months \u2013 in the Top Five. That\u2019s the longest Top Five run in the Hot 100\u2019s 58-year history. The previous record was 25 weeks, jointly held by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars with \u201cUptown Funk,\u201d and LeAnn Rimes with \u201cHow Do I Live.\u201d That\u2019s pretty spectacular, but the real fireworks arrive in fourth place. Number 4: Katy Perry Featuring Skip Marley "Chained To The Rhythm" One of our most dependable hit makers returns this week, as Katy Perry opens in fourth place with \u201cChained To The Rhythm.\u201d This is not only Katy\u2019s 14th Top 10 single, it\u2019s also her third-highest Hot 100 debut. \u201cPart Of Me\u201d opened at number one in 2012, while \u201cCalifornia Gurls\u201d hit second place in 2010. The featured artist on this song is Skip Marley, the grandson of reggae great Bob Marley. Number 3: Migos & Lil Uzi Vert "Bad And Boujee" Migos and Lil Uzi Vert slip a slot to third place with \u201cBad And Boujee,\u201d and Migos are already planning new chart conquests. On February 24, Calvin Harris dropped his latest single \u201cSlide,\u201d featuring Frank Ocean, along with Migos members Quavo and Offset. Three days later on February 27, DJ Khaled sent out a series of Instagram photos featuring Migos, Justin Bieber, and Chance The Rapper\u2026and it just so happens DJ Khaled is dropping a new album, Grateful, on March 22. Number 2: Zayn & Taylor Swift "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" Zayn and Taylor Swift jump a notch to second place with \u201cI Don\u2019t Wanna Live Forever.\u201d On February 22, Zayn faced off against his former One Direction groupmates in the BRIT Awards\u2026and lost. 1D took the Video Of The Year crown for \u201cHistory,\u201d while Zayn was an also-ran with his \u201cPillowtalk\u201d clip. Number 1: Ed Sheeran "Shape of You" Ed Sheeran extends his run at the top to four weeks with \u201cShape Of You,\u201d and it sounds like Ed has a new friend. Last week, Katy Perry stopped by the BBC for a pre-BRIT Awards interview\u2026and Ed crashed the conversation. He recalled their first meeting after a gig in Toronto in which Ed was covered in sweat\u2026things didn\u2019t go so smoothly then but they\u2019re good pals now.
