Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk continues to prove a huge hit in America, reaching yet another massive chart milestone on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

The Bruno Mars-assisted track is at Number 5 this week, equalling the record for the longest stay in the Top 5 at 25 weeks. In the Hot 100’s 55-year history, only one other artists has managed as long in the Top 5: LeAnn Rimes’ How Do I Live in 1997/98.

Uptown Funk previously logged 14 weeks at Number 1 on the chart, tying with six other singles as the second-longest leading US chart-topper ever.

Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa reclaims the top spot on the Hot 100 with See You Again after being ousted last week by Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood, which drops to 2.

Elsewhere in the Top 5, Fetty Wap’s Trap Queen holds at 3, and Walk The Moon’s Shut Up and Dance remains at Number 4.

Further down the chart, Andy Grammer’s Honey, I’m Good reaches at new peak at 11, Tove Lo’s Talking Body continues its ascent up the tally at 12 this week, and Omi’s Cheerleader zooms from 27 to 16. The Jamaican-pop track recently spent four weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

Leann Rimes is the best singer/song writer in the music industry today and her rich vocals produced 'Remnants', making it a pop hit for her.

Tired of Leann's BS

LeAnn needs to accept that she's a has been, and it doesn't matter how many Instagram photos she posts, how many tweets she makes (she's bearing down on 100,000 quickly), and how many "exciting new projects" and "new music" she keeps spouting -- she will no longer be what she once was. Her untrained voice is a wreck (too much Patron and Adderall). She needs to fade quietly into the distance and maybe get pregnant. Yeah, oops a snip makes all the diff. She might actually develop a fan base greater than the Deliverance 7 if she got off Twitter and devoted herself to charity or gospel music. Because her chalktalk attempts are a failure.

I want to ask, how many copies of Mars' chart-topper "Grenade" have been sold up-to-date. Is it close to become next million-seller?

1997-1998 The last time Leann Rimes was acknowledged JUST for a phenomenal singing voice, and not JUST for being an overbearing passive aggressive smug . My how the time flies.
