Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again' Stays At No. 1 On Billboard's Hot 100

The track rules for an eighth week, again fending off Taylor Swift's former No. 1 'Bad Blood.' Plus, Andy Grammer reaches the top 10 with 'Honey, I'm Good.'

Wiz Khalifa's Furious 7 soundtrack hit "See You Again," featuring Charlie Puth, spends an eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It holds the top spot over Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" (featuring Kendrick Lamar), which interrupted the run of "Again" at the summit when it led the list two weeks ago.

Let's do it again: Just like every Wednesday, let's tell you all about the top 10 and more on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100 (dated June 20), including notable moves for Fetty Wap, Jason Derulo and top 10 newcomer Andy Grammer.

"Again," released on Atlantic Records and promoted to radio by Roadrunner Promotions, maintains its No. 1 rank on the Hot 100 by tallying a third week atop the Radio Songs chart with 171 million in all-format audience, up 1 percent, according to Nielsen Music. It falls 1-2 on Streaming Songs (19.3 million U.S. streams, down 7 percent) after eight weeks on top and holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (158,000 downloads sold, down 8 percent, in the week ending June 7), which it led for seven weeks.

"Again" additionally leads Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a ninth week each.

As it extends its total weeks atop the Hot 100, "Again" joins just 10 other rap songs (defined as titles which have appeared on Hot Rap Songs) that have led the Hot 100 for eight weeks or more. It also logs the longest reign by a rap track in more than five years. Here's a look at the rap hits that have topped the Hot 100 the longest:

"Again" keeps its lock on the Hot 100's top spot with a slightly smaller margin of victory than last week over Swift's "Blood," as the former decreases by 5 percent in overall activity and the latter dips by 1 percent. "Blood" leads Digital Songs for a third week (213,000, down 12 percent); stays at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (11.4 million, down 5 percent); and races 11-5 on Radio Songs (78 million, up 37 percent), adding the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a third week.

Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" remains at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2 and claims a new honor: it rises 2-1 on Streaming Songs, up by 16 percent to 21.4 million U.S. streams. He joins Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ("Thrift Shop") and Iggy Azalea ("Fancy") as the only hip-hop-based rappers to rule Streaming Songs with a career-opening hit since the chart launched in January 2013. "Queen" holds at No. 6 on Digital Songs (108,000, down 1 percent) and slips 13-14 on Radio Songs (63 million, down 5 percent).

Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" keeps at its No. 4 Hot 100 peak (and leads Hot Rock Songs for an 11th week). It also passes 2 million downloads sold to-date.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me" jumps 7-5, reaching the top five and a new peak. Airplay accounts for half the song's activity, as it pushes 3-2 on Radio Songs (145 million, up 4 percent). As previously reported, parent album Everything Is 4 launches at, aptly, No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

Also appropriately, Derulo makes his fifth trip to the Hot 100's top five with "Want." His debut entry, "Whatcha Say," topped the Nov. 14, 2009 chart and he followed with "In My Head" (No. 5, 2010) and 2014's "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz (No. 3), and "Wiggle," featuring Snoop Dogg (No. 5).

Mark Ronson's former 14-week Hot 100 No. 1 "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, drops 5-6. It remains tied for the most weeks, 25, spent in the top five in the chart's five-and-a-half-decade history with LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" (1997-98). Still, "Funk" adds to its legacy, passing 6 million downloads sold (6.1 million) since its release. It becomes one of 35 titles to have sold at least 6 million. Can you name the best-selling download to-date? Answer at the end of this story …

The Weekend's "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" descends 6-7 on the Hot 100 after peaking at No. 3, and David Guetta's "Hey Mama," featuring Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha and Afrojack, holds at its No. 8 peak to-date, while leading Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for an eighth week.
