With only three new tracks on the chart from last week, the Hip Hop & R&B singles list looks mostly the same as it did seven days ago. “FourFiveSeconds” is again the #1 song on the chart after more than a month at the top spot. Meanwhile, The Weeknd returns to his #2 spot after falling to #3 last week.
Lower down the list three songs jumped into the Top 10 with Ciara’s “I Bet” making the biggest leap from #36 to #10. A couple spots below, Kanye West’s “All Day” dropped considerably after its debut at #2 last week, now sitting at #11.
“FourFiveSeconds” Still At #1
Now officially on the charts for a full two months, “FourFiveSeconds” is yet again the #1 song on the Hip Hop and R&B singles chart. The Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney collaboration sold 124,109 singles most recently, pushing it well past the million sold mark it surpassed last week. Despite the 12% sales decrease, “FourFiveSeconds” is still more than 24,000 units ahead of the second best on the chart.

The Weeknd Returns To #2
After falling to #3 last week, The Weeknd is back at the runner-up spot on the list with his 50 Shades Of Grey soundtrack original. “Earned It” pushed just under 100,000 singles most recently, nearly exactly what he sold last week and enough to creep towards a million total sales at 848,261 singles sold to date.
Flo Rida Back In The Top 3
Despite months of up-and-down activity on the chart, Flo Rida and Sage The Gemini are back in the Top 3 with their collaboration “GDFR” this week. “GDFR” saw an 8% sales hike with 93,024 sold most recently. The track is now well within reach of the platinum milestone as it currently sits at 935,548.
