时间：2018-12-08 作者：英语课 分类：VOA标准英语2017年(三月)
We’re unlocking the five most popular songs in the Billboard 1 Hot 100 Pop Singles chart, for the week ending March 25, 2017.
The hit list continues to be in a generous mood, bestowing 2 upon us another new song. It happens in fifth place where Ri-Ri is a chart-buster all around.
Number 5: Rihanna "Love On The Brain"
Rihanna jumps a slot this week, as “Love On The Brain” becomes her 22nd Top Five hit. Beyond that, it’s her 30th Top 10 single, and her 40th Top 20 hit.
All these achievements put Rihanna among the highest-powered chart artists of all time. In fact, only four acts own more Top Five hits than Rihanna. The Beatles lead the way with 29; Madonna has 28; Mariah Carey has 26; and Janet Jackson has 24.
Number 4: Zayn & Taylor Swift "I Don't Wanna Live Forever"
Zayn and Taylor Swift step back a slot to number four with their Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack hit “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”
Zayn just did an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine, in which he talks about developing an eating disorder 3 and struggling with anxiety. Both stemmed from that he said was an overly-controlled atmosphere while he was a member of One Direction - and he says he overcame both conditions after leaving the group in 2015.
Number 3: Bruno Mars "That's What I Like "
Bruno Mars rises a slot to third place with “That’s What I Like” – this is his eighth single to reach the Top Three.
Mars' real name is Peter Hernandez – he says his father bestowed 4 the nickname “Bruno” upon him because he was a chunky little boy who reminded his dad of the pro 5 wrestler 6 Bruno Sammartino. He says he picked the “Mars” name himself, to add a little pizzazz.
Number 2: Migos Featuring Lil Uzi Vert "Bad And Boujee"
Migos and Lil Uzi Vert stay strong in second place with their former champ “Bad And Boujee,” and these Georgia rappers have been making noise in Texas.
Migos went to Austin for the huge South By Southwest (SXSW) event and packed the house: fans began lining 7 up more than three hours before the show, and the line eventually wrapped around three city blocks.
Number 1: Ed Sheeran "Shape Of You"
Fans also continue flocking to Ed Sheeran, who rules the Hot 100 for a seventh total week with “Shape Of You.” Sheeran’s hitting the road here in North America, and he just announced his support act.
