Hot 100: Rae Sremmurd remains no. 1 with “Black Beatles” while The Weeknd dominates the Hot 100 overall.

First things first, we at The Musical Hype skipped Hot 100 analysis last week. To quote G-Eazy, These Things Happens.  But…WE BACK! Rae Sremmurd don’t seem to be going anywhere.  Four a fourth week, “Black Beatles” is no. 1 on the Hot 100.  Right behind the southern rap duo is The Weeknd, who returns to his peak position with “Starboy.” Beyond Rae Sremmurd and a number of singles charting for The Weeknd, there are plenty of other interesting Hot 100 stories on the chart dated December 17, 2016.
