Hot 100 Jewels: Bruno Mars Climbs to No. 2

Ed Sheeran (“The Shape of You”) still rules the roost on the Billboard Hot 100.  Nonetheless, Bruno Mars in on his tail with “That’s What I Like.”

Similar to the happenings on the Billboard 200, Ed Sheeran is not budging.  For an eighth week, “The Shape of You” is the no. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.  Ed should be getting nervous about his status, though – Bruno Mars is gaining quickly with “That’s What I Like.” Beyond Sheeran and Mars, there are more compelling tales from the Billboard Hot 100, dated April 1, 2017.  That’s no joke… there’s totally more ish happening beyond those two.
