Ed Sheeran & Beyonce’s ‘Perfect’ No. 1 on Hot 100
Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé’s “Perfect” tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth week. The song also takes over as the most-heard hit on U.S. radio, reaching No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.
Meanwhile, Camila Cabello’s “Havana,” featuring Young Thug, rebounds to its No. 2 Hot 100 peak.
Plus, Halsey’s “Bad at Love” continues its Hot 100 ascent, rising from No. 9 to a new No. 6 high.
Let’s run down the top 10 of the Jan. 13-dated Hot 100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com on Tuesday (Jan. 9).
“Perfect,” released on Atlantic Records — first as a solo track by Sheeran on his album ÷ (Divide) — spends a sixth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 109,000 downloads sold (down 34 percent) in the week ending Jan. 4, according to Nielsen Music.
The song also lifts 2-1 on the Radio Songs tally, up 7 percent to 139 million audience impressions in the week ending Jan. 7 (with radio playing both Sheeran’s original solo version and the duet). Sheeran scores his second Radio Songs leader, following ÷ lead single “Shape of You,” which reigned for 12 weeks beginning last Feb. 25.
Beyoncé adds her sixth solo Radio Songs No. 1 and first in nearly nine years. Her previous toppers: “Crazy in Love,” featuring JAY-Z (eight weeks, 2003); “Baby Boy,” featuring Sean Paul (nine, 2003); “Check on It,” featuring Slim Thug (three, 2006); “Irreplaceable” (11, 2006-97); and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” (five, 2009). Beyoncé first ruled Radio Songs as a member of Destiny’s Child with four singles (consecutively) in 2000-01: “Say My Name,” “Jumpin’, Jumpin’,” “Independent Women Part 1” and “Survivor.”
On Streaming Songs, which “Perfect” led for a week, the song slips 2-4 with 36.4 million U.S. streams (down 4 percent) in the week ending Jan. 4.
