Three months after Adele took the world by storm with her comeback single “Easy On Me”, this song is still ruling the charts around the world. It just returned to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for its tenth week, becoming the singer’s first single since “Hello” to do so.
“Easy on Me” was originally released in October, and it returned to no. 1 for its 10th non-consecutive week with a total of 99 million radio airplay audience impressions and 14.3 million streams during its most recent tracking week.
“Easy on Me” ties Adele’s personal record for most weeks at no. 1 – she previously logged ten weeks atop Hot 100 with “Hello” in 2015-2016. This also makes her only the seventh artist in history with more than a single no. 1 hit to rule the chart for double-digit weeks. Boyz II Men and Drake scored three leaders each, followed by The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Santana, and Pharrell Williams with two.
As for the rest of this week’s Billboard Hot 100, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto climbed to no. 2, becoming only the second Disney song to soar this high. “Surface Pressure” joins it in the top 10, making Encanto the first Disney animated movie to generate multiple top 10 Hot 100 hits.
