On Mondays, Billboard typically releases the top ten singles on its weekly Hot 100 list. This week, however, the announcement was postponed. The chart from May 22 was finally unveiled on Wednesday morning. The Silk Sonic single “Leave The Door Open” by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak is back at No. 1 for a second week.
The song “Leave The Door Open” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 17. The four-week gap between No. 1 Hot 100 placements is the longest for a single since Post Malone’s “Circles” had a four-week gap between its second and third No. 1 weeks on December 7, 2019 and January 11, 2020, on the charts. As he wrote at the time, Paak was ecstatic when the song reached No. 1 for the first time.
“Ima stretch this goose neck to The moooon!! All I can say is thank you!!!! To have a song like this debut in the hot 100 ( my first song to ever make it up there ) is truly amazing. It can’t happen without hard work and yalls support. Thanks for pushing everyone to greatness @brunomars and showing us new heights! I’ll never come down!! let’s keep rising! We love you for this!!! Y’all gonna have me faded all damn week!!”
Dua Lipa and DaBaby’s “Levitating,” which debuted at No. 2, and J. Cole’s “Interlude,” which debuted at No. 8, are two other notable takeaways from this week’s list.
“The announcement of this week’s Hot 100 was delayed by approximately 48 hours as Billboard and MRC Data performed standard audits on recorded data, collaborating with data partners to find and fix anomalies,” Billboard explained in a statement.
