It’s been over three months since Adele made a big comeback with her smash hit “Easy On Me”, and this song is still ruling the charts. It just logged its 10th week at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, tying the singer’s personal record that she previously set with “Hello”.
“Easy on Me” returned to no. 1 with 99 million radio airplay audience impressions and 14.3 million streams during its most recent tracking week. Its chart domination may soon be coming to an end since it’s facing tough competition in the viral hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto at no. 2.
Adele’s most recent Hot 100 milestone is quite impressive since she’s only the seventh artist to log ten or more weeks atop the chart with more than one song. Boyz II Men and Drake are record-holders with three songs each, while The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Santana, and Pharrell Williams scored two each.
“Easy on Me” was released in October, as the lead single from Adele’s latest album 30. It topped the charts in 27 territories, including the UK, Canada, and Australia, and it’s currently the longest-running no. 1 hit in the US released by a female artist in the 2020s.
