Today’s thread is brought to you by the number 2015.
We have a new leader at the top of the Hot 100 as Post Malone and 21 Savage earn their first number one. “Rockstar” becomes the fifth rap song to top the Hot 100 this year which ties for the most rap songs in a single year (2006, 2004 and 2003). Returning to the Hot 100 this week is Sam Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes” after an SNL performance.
