The all-star trio of Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney are still leading the pack for the Hip Hop and R&B chart another week in a row. Similar to last week, The Weeknd has managed to hold on to his runner-up position with “Earned It” yet again.
Meanwhile, Flo Rida is back in the Top 3 for the first time in a couple weeks while Drake’s “Energy” fell seven spots to #10.
“FourFiveSeconds” Eyes Platinum Certification
Proving it has plenty of staying power, Rihanna’s “FourFiveSeconds” is again the #1 song on the Hip Hop and R&B charts for yet another week in a row. Last week the song sold another 156,098 singles, enough to bring its total well within reach of the platinum marker for the next sales cycle. The track has currently tallied a total of 961,685 sales and while the latest numbers represent a 10% decline from the previous week, “FourFiveSeconds” easily outsold the runner up on the chart by more than 50,000 singles.
