Top 5 Songs for Week Ending Jan. 9


This is the Top Five Countdown featuring the five most popular songs in the Billboard 1 Hot 100 Pop Singles chart, for the week ending Jan. 9, 2016.


The chart is sleeping off a New Year’s hangover apparently 2, because nothing really changes this week.


Number 5: Justin Bieber "What Do You Mean"


In fifth place, Justin Bieber holds steady with “What Do You Mean?”


Billboard reports that Justin welcomed the new year by performing at a party on the Caribbean island of St. Bart’s. The host? Movie actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Also in attendance were Robin 3 Thicke and from the U.K., Duchess Catherine’s brother, James Middleton.


Number 4: Drake "Hotline Bling" 


Drake may be leaving the hit list…but he isn’t going far: he may show up on Rihanna’s next album. He slips a slot to fourth place with “Hotline Bling.”


Snippets of Drake's vocals 4 on Rihanna’s Twitter page suggest he may turn up on her eagerly-awaited Anti album…and that wouldn’t be a surprise, given their past relationship, both personal and professional. There’s no word on when Anti will drop…and let’s not forget Drake has an album in the pipeline 5 as well.


Number 3: Justin Bieber "Love Yourself" 


Taking over third place is our friend Justin Bieber with “Love Yourself,” which he co-wrote with Ed Sheeran. Justin’s been vacationing in the Caribbean with his family and model Hailey Baldwin, and things may be heating up between those two: on Sunday, he tweeted photos of them kissing and all dressed up for a night out.


Number 2: Justin Bieber "Sorry" 


Justin holds in second place with “Sorry,” and this may be a good time to recall just how Bieber began his rise to fame. Do you remember? It all began in 2007, when his mother posted a YouTube video of 12-year-old Justin singing Ne-Yo’s song “So Sick” at a local competition. She followed with videos of her son singing cover versions of other songs…and the rest is musical history.


Number 1: Adele "Hello" 


Speaking of making history, Adele is your countdown champ for a ninth huge week with “Hello.” Her 25 album spends a sixth week atop the album list; at 7.44 million copies in the U.S. alone, it’s the biggest seller of any calendar year since 2004. Back then, Usher’s Confessions 6 sold 7.98 million copies.


Now that 2016 is in full swing, what will the charts send us? We'll find out together next week!
