Ed Sheeran Tops Hot 100, Katy Perry Debuts at No. 4 & Bruno Mars, Rihanna & The Weeknd All Hit Top 10

Sheeran's "Shape of You" leads an action-packed chart, which includes Perry's return & Rihanna's 30th Hot 100 top 10.

Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" leads the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 4) for a fourth total week.

Meanwhile, action abounds in the top 10, as Katy Perry's "Chained to the Rhythm," featuring Skip Marley, debuts at No. 4 and Bruno Mars, Rihanna and The Weeknd all add new top 10s. Sheeran, Perry, Mars and The Weeknd benefit from performances on the Grammy Awards (Feb. 12), while Rihanna ups her count to 30 career top 10s, a milestone that only an elite three acts have now achieved.

There's even more: Zayn and Taylor Swift set a new Hot 100 high for a song from the Fifty Shades franchise and The Chainsmokers' "Closer," featuring Halsey, has now spent more time in the top five than any other single in the Hot 100's entire 58-year history.

Following yesterday's President's Day holiday, let's kick off a very busy recap of the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 22.

"Shape," released on Atlantic Records, spends a second week atop the Radio Songs chart, up by 9 percent to 145 million in audience in the week ending Feb. 19, according to Nielsen Music, claiming the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a fifth straight week. Following his performance of the song on the Grammys, "Shape" resurges 2-1 for a fourth total week atop Digital Song Sales (200,000 downloads sold, up 74 percent, in the week ending Feb. 16). On Streaming Songs, it holds at No. 2 (37.2 million U.S. streams, up 12 percent).

"Shape," which becomes Sheeran's second No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, ushers in his third studio album, ÷, due March 3.

Zayn and Taylor Swift's "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" rises 3-2 on the Hot 100, hitting a new peak. As parent album the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, following its Feb. 10 release and the arrival of the movie the same day, "Live" lifts 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (143,000, up 31 percent). It also jumps 5-2 on Radio Songs (109 million, up 10 percent), while keeping at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (21.2 million, down 7 percent).

Just as Fifty Shades Darker becomes the franchise's first Billboard 200 No. 1, besting the No. 2 peak of 2015's Fifty Shades of Grey, "Live" takes over as the highest-charting Fifty Shades Hot 100 hit; it one-ups the No. 3 peaks of the first soundtrack's "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding and "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" by The Weeknd.

Migos' "Bad and Boujee," featuring Lil Uzi Vert, dips 2-3 on the Hot 100 following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Still, the track tops the Streaming Songs chart for an eighth week with 47.7 million U.S. streams (up 1 percent). It also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for an eighth week (17.8 million on-demand clicks, down 10 percent).

"Bad" falls 8-12 on Digital Song Sales (40,000 downloads sold, down 1 percent) and inches 16-15 on Radio Songs (60 million, down 1 percent). It additionally rules Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a seventh week each.

Katy Perry roars onto the Hot 100 at No. 4 with "Chained to the Rhythm," featuring Skip Marley. (The debut marks the highest for a song by a lead female since Adele's "Hello" launched at No. 1 on Nov. 14, 2015.) "Rhythm," released along with its official lyric video at midnight on Feb. 10 -- followed by Perry and Marley's performance of it on the Grammys two nights later -- debuts at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (108,000 first-week downloads sold) and No. 15 on Streaming Songs (14.7 million), while charging 35-20 on Radio Songs (50 million in audience after its first full week of tracking).

Perry scores her 14th Hot 100 top 10 and the third-highest-debuting of her 25 Hot 100 entries. She bowed higher only with "Part of Me" (No. 1, 2012) and "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg (No. 2, 2010). She earns her first top 10 in nearly three years; she was last in the top 10 in January-June 2014 with "Dark Horse" (featuring Juicy J), which spent four weeks at No. 1 (marking her ninth leader).

"Rhythm," whose official proper video was released today (Feb. 21), previews Perry's forthcoming studio album, her first since 2013's PRISM, expected later this year.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, The Chainsmokers' "Closer" rebounds 7-5 (after 12 weeks at No. 1), and its latest move is historic, as it rewrites the record for the most weeks logged in the top five: 26, or a full six months. It passes Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars (2015) and LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" (1997-98), each with 25 top-five frames.

"Closer" also extends its record for the most weeks in the Hot 100's top 10 from a title's debut, having totaled all 29 of its weeks on the chart in the top 10 since its arrival at No. 9 on Aug. 20. Even more honors: It leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a 27th week, the most at No. 1 since the chart's January 2013 inception, passing Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" (26 weeks, 2013-14).

"Bad Things" by Machine Gun Kelly and current Billboard cover star Camila Cabello drops 5-6 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 4. It's again led by airplay, as it ranks at No. 6 on Radio Songs (92 million, down 13 percent).

Following his Grammys performance of "That's What I Like," along with his Prince tribute, Mars blasts 37-7 on the Hot 100, earning his 14th top 10. The track flies 36-5 on Digital Song Sales (85,000, up 308 percent) and wins the Hot 100's top Streaming Gainer award, debuting at No. 20 on Streaming Songs (12.4 million, up 59 percent). It also jumps 36-26 on Radio Songs (43 million, up 22 percent) and, with a 5-1 jump, becomes Mars' first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart.

"Like" is the follow-up to Mars' No. 4 Hot 100 hit "24K Magic"; as previously reported, the songs' parent album 24K Magic surges 7-2 as the Greatest Gainer on the Billboard 200.

Rihanna bounds 13-8 on the Hot 100 with "Love on the Brain," marking her landmark 30th top 10. The only acts with more? Madonna, with 38, and The Beatles, with 34. (Rihanna breaks a tie for third place with Michael Jackson)
"Brain" moves 6-5 on Radio Songs (101 million, up 7 percent); 17-18 on Digital Song Sales (36,000, up 8 percent); and 25-21 on Streaming Songs (12.6 million, up 7 percent). Perhaps aiding the song's profile in the tracking period, Rihanna received eight Grammy nominations, including best urban contemporary album for "Brain" parent set ANTi

The Weeknd vaults 16-9 on the Hot 100 with "I Feel It Coming," featuring Daft Punk, after the acts performed the song, as well as prior single "Starboy," at music's biggest night. The song is The Weeknd's sixth Hot 100 top 10 and Daft Punk's third (and second as featured on a hit by The Weeknd, following the No. 1 "Starboy").

"Feel" ascends 16-7 on Digital Song Sales (55,000, up 65 percent); 8-7 on Radio Songs (83 million, essentially even week-over-week); and 34-28 on Streaming Songs (10.7 million, up 9 percent).

Wait, that's four new Hot 100 top 10s, by Perry, Mars, Rihanna and The Weeknd, all in one week. How rare is that kind of turnover? Four songs hadn't posted their first weeks each in the top 10 simultaneously in nearly six years: On the April 2, 2011-dated chart, The Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" (22-5), Glee Cast's "Loser Like Me" (No. 6 debut), Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now," featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes (12-8), and Jeremih's "Down on Me," featuring 50 Cent (13-10), all reached the region for the first time.

And, back to 2017: Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Big Sean's "Bounce Back" backtracks from its No. 6 peak to No. 10. The song soared from No. 15 a week ago when his new album I Decided. debuted at No. 1 on the Feb. 25-dated Billboard 200. Meanwhile, "Bounce" becomes Big Sean's fourth No. 1 on the Rhythmic Songs airplay ranking.

The 10 Best Selena Gomez Songs: Critic's Picks

Can we take a moment to appreciate the maturation of Selena Gomez? She started as a child-star on Barney & Friends, then graduated to the celeb-factory that is the Disney Channel, and then she crossed over into the music world. That is not a unique path, to be sure, and it's what an artist does after making that jump from kid cutie to adult artist that truly matters.

Gomez, for her part, has done an incredible job. She survived the awkward phase of falling in love with a giant superstar, breaking up with said superstar in the harsh tabloid light, and even bested personal illness to come out stronger, more powerful, and totally in control of herself. She's always stood for positivity and personal strength, a message that should be applauded today and every day, and she currently explores an almost sinister sensuality that says coyly “there's more to me than this baby-face, playboy.” takes a look at the best Gomez moments so far.

Her latest album Revival is no doubt her best offering to date. It's got some great R&B vibes well-tempered with pop dance hits. Gone is the childlike sheen, although she's still playful and cheeky. She's expanding her vocal talents into the world of dance with hits alongside star producers Kygo and Cashmere Cat, among others. Her career is hitting all the right notes, and in her honor, Billboard Dance takes a look at the best Selena Gomez songs so far.

10. Selena Gomez & The Scene – “Who Says”

Shout out young Ms. Gomez for pushing one of the most positive agendas we've heard in pop music in the last decade. “Who Says” is a strong back hand to the haters, and as the crossover star of Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena had the hearts and ears of young girls and boys around the world, the exact market who needs to hear empowering lyrics like this more than anyone else. The song was a 2010 single from her band Selena Gomez & The Scene's third LP When The Sun Goes Down, and heralded a maturation in her sound from generic club hits to acoustic, thoughtful songwriting, something the singer has continued to explore.

9. Selena Gomez – “Come & Get It”

In 2013, Gomez was stepping out on her own with her debut solo album Stars Dance. “Come & Get It” served as the lead single and reintroduced the pop star as a powerful, sensual being ready to leave her little girl veneer behind. It was also the first Selena Gomez song to land in the top 10 of the Hot 100. It's especially memorable for that infectious chorus and its use of Indian rhythms and instrumentation. Fun fact: the song was originally shopped to Rihanna for her LP Talk That Talk, but became Gomez' hit when the Barbadian singer passed. One woman's ex-nay is another woman's chance at big success, and ultimately, we can't imagine anyone else on this jam.

8. Selena Gomez – “Perfect”

Hold the phone. These are some deeply sensual vibes. Gomez has never sounds so grown and vulnerable as she does on this Revival album closer. Gomez' pain is so relatable and clear as she sings about the woman her man prefers. The irony is that Gomez delivers a “Perfect” modern R&B performance, and the radio needs to me more like her on this track. It was a deeply personal song for Gomez who told reporters she wasn't sure she was strong enough to put these feelings on the record. She took the emotional risk, and we are all the better for it.

7. Selena Gomez – “Me & The Rhythm”

Another deep cut from her latest album Revival, “Me & The Rhythm” is a perfect mix of subtle R&B and groovin' disco basslines. These synths are giving me heavy, smoky '70s club vibes. There's that touch of steel drum to add slight island flair. That vocal upward climb at the chorus seals the deal on this one. It's just a fun track, no two ways about it.

6. Selena Gomez – “The Heart Wants What it Wants”

The intro of this video is one of the most instantly arresting video intros I've ever seen. Of course the whole world insinuates this Selena Gomez song as a heartbreaking open-letter to Justin Bieber, her shining star of a young love endlessly referenced and inspected in the public eye. This song came out on her compilation For You. The musical progression mirrors the lyrics, starting bare and almost timid and slowly building in strength and confidence. It's a passionate single that marked a new era of Gomez's career, the truly grown and intimate artist we know and love today.

5. Selena Gomez – “Same Old Love”

“Same Old Love” is one of those songs you feel in your bones the moment it begins. That simple, straightforward piano riff and those snapping fingers are the stuff pop hook dreams are made of. Gomez comes in strong and powerful, and the rasp in the chorus makes you just fall in love. You can really hear songwriter Charlie XCX's fingerprints all over it. Ross Golan, Stargate, and Benny Blanco also helped create this killer tune.

4. Kygo with Selena Gomez – “It Ain't Me”

Fans were tickled pink to hear KyGomez was a thing, even before a note of this raw, pop-house anthem saw release. Now that it's here, we know it's the best darn Kygo song out so far, and it's one of Gomez' best performances for sure. It's a tad tropical, vulnerable, and stirring. It's a musical backbone for anyone who needs that extra push to stand up for themselves in the face of bad love. It's the perfect tune for the lovely young woman Gomez has become, and that vocal chop of a post-chorus is everything.

3. Cashmere Cat feat. Selena Gomez, Tory Lanez – “Trust Nobody”

This song is incredibly simple, which means it leaves no room for error. Good thing Cashmere Cat tapped Gomez for the lead vocal. She stood up to the plate and knocked it out of the park. She's husky and virile with super whispery bedroomy vibes. It's got us completely stoked on the Cat's forthcoming album Wild Love, for which this is a single, and it also had us looking at Gomez in a completely new way. It's a beautiful, dark continuation of the best R&B bits of Revival.

2. Selena Gomez with A$AP Rocky – “Good For You”

This is the one where Gomez makes the rest of us women look bad because you know we are walking around in them p-jays like all the time, screw a dude. Just kidding. This is the one you put on when you're getting dressed for your super hot date and you just feelin' yourself so hard, it's almost x-rated. Gomez is entirely seductive on this tune, and tapping A$AP Rocky for the feature verse was a smooth move. “Good For You” was the lead single for Revival, letting fans know right away we were in for a much more adult experience.

1. Selena Gomez – “Hands to Myself”

This Selena Gomez song captures everything there is to love about her from start to finish. It's catchy and danceable, it's powerful and affirmative, it's sensual and intimate. It showcases every facet of her musical personality, and most of all, it's really fun to listen to. Gomez has actually referred to it as her favorite on the Revival album, which might mean its her favorite overall, and why shouldn't it be? Even if it were a bad song, that little “I mean I could, but why would I want to” just blows everything else away. It's perfectly sassy, and we all could use a little more sass in our step.

I have God's direct number – Pastor claims he talks to God via his phone (photo)

A controversial pastor has left many people shocked after he revealed that he receives phone calls from God.😂

Pastor Paul Sanyangore shocked his congregation members in Zimbabwe on Sunday when he said that he has a direct line which he can call the ‘heavens’ and get instructions on how to help his followers.

Pastor Paul Sanyangore
According to H-Metro, he further revealed that on Sunday, February 19, he got a call during his church service at Kingstons House, for help. He said: “I have a direct channel, actually I have His number and I can call Him when need arises.”

He addressed the person on the other end of the call as the ‘heaven’ and God prophesying on a certain lady, telling her of her background.

People questioned his prophesy but her replied saying: “It is possible to talk to God, while would you doubt that I got a call from him? I actually have a direct line which I can call Him and get instructions on how to proceed. I got this when I was praying and I heard a voice telling me to call direct. I got instructions on the phone on what to do or say and that is what happened on Sunday. If the heavens spoke to Abraham why not us? You are of little faith and people will always have doubts while others are being delivered. I know people say whatever they want, some might feel it is a publicity stunt and it is all fine. We don’t do things for publicity; what will we get from that?.”

The preacher, who is in the process of forming a television channel, said he will actually launch a session titled ‘Heaven Online’.

“You will actually see more of this. We are hoping that we will be on TV this year and we will actually have a session called ‘Heaven Online’,” he said.

Us Weekly confirmed in October 2016 that the on-off couple had called it quits on their romance once again. "They will always be close. If they end up together, it could happen, but not now," a source told Us at the time. A second insider countered that the pair's relationship was never serious and that they were simply "hanging out, no strings attached."

The entertainers' split came weeks after Drake declared his love for Rihanna while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old," he gushed during a lengthy speech about their friendship and romance through the years.

Rihanna and Drake: A Timeline of Their Relationship

The "Fake Love" rapper and the "Love on the Brain" songstress — who have matching shark tattoos — first met in 2005 while she was filming her first-ever music video for "Pon de Replay" at a restaurant in Toronto where Drake worked as a DJ. They dated on and off in the following years, in addition to collaborating on several hit singles.

Drake was most recently linked to Jennifer Lopez, but a source told Us earlier this month that the pair's relationship had "died down a bit" as he headed overseas for his European tour.

7-year-old boy miraculously defies cancer despite doctors giving him only two weeks to live

- Doctors gave a seven-year-old boy in Cape Town just two weeks to live after diagnosing him with cancer that resisted chemotherapy

- However, three weeks later, the boy is still as strong as ever

- His family has called his defiance of cancer a miracle

Three weeks ago, doctors in Cape Town diagnosed a seven-year-old boy with stage 4 of a cancer known as neuroblastoma and gave him just two weeks to live. However, he is still alive and strong and was even seen riding a bicycle on Sunday.

Junaid Arendse and her mom Monique. He has defied cancer odds

Young Junaid Arendse initially complained of hip pain and his family took him to the hospital for examination. Doctors diagnosed him with cancer and told his family that it had spread to various parts of his body.

They also said it was resistant to chemotherapy and as a result, there was nothing they could do to help Junaid. Junaid's mother and grandmother were distraught at the news and sought prayers from their local church.

Junaid is as strong and vibrant as ever despite doctors' predictions
Three weeks later, Junaid shows no signs of slowing down on his life. He is as strong and vibrant as ever and was even seen riding a bicycle up and down his street on Sunday.

His grandmother Margaret is calling Junaid's defiance a miracle, while his mother Monique prays that her son's fight and zeal for life continues. She adds that her husband and Junaid's dad is in prison, and is hopeful that Junaid will still be alive when his dad is released next month.

I had to hide my baby under my bed in South Africa - Nigerian mom

Cape Town - A Nigerian family had to hide their baby under a bed while angry residents went on a rampage in Pretoria West, calling them drug dealers.

“Can you imagine standing there and watching your property, your house burn down? Why don’t they want us here,” a Nigerian father said on Saturday.

His house was one of two that were burned down by angry residents on Saturday.

He had woken up to dozens of people banging outside their doors.

“Nigerians come out, come out now, they were saying,”..

The situation accelerated so fast that he made a snap decision to throw some of the children who lived in yard over the wall into a neighbour’s yard, just before a petrol bomb was thrown at his house.

“I tried to get back inside to get our passports but it was too late,” the distraught man said, looking at the blacked out remains of the house he had been renting.

“They were so angry; I had to hide my baby under the bed when I heard them coming. What are we supposed to do now? Where are we going to sleep tonight?” another resident of the house said.

There were 11 adults and 3 children living in the five bedroom house, he said, but everyone had escaped in time.

No arrests made

No-one has been arrested after two houses were burned down and various homes raided by Pretoria West community members on Saturday, police have said.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said they had deployed a number of officers to the area in a bid to quell the violence.

Angry residents raided alleged drug dens and brothels on Saturday, burning two houses down as they went door to door in search of drugs.

“It is under control right now. We have deployed quite a number of police in the to ensure that the violence did not flare up again,” he said.

By late afternoon on Saturday, residents were still walking up and down the streets under heavy police guard vowing to root out criminality.

Dlamini said the violence only started on Saturday in the community.

But some business people [mostly foreigners] in the area have been feeling the heat for a couple of weeks already.

We don't sell drugs

A Nigerian businessman who has worked alongside Pretoria West residents for almost 10 years, fixing their cars is now running scared after his business went up in flames, without warning.

The teary man was trying to pick up his life on Saturday, picking through the wreckage, when violence broke out again.

The businessman, who did not want to give his name for fear of victimisation, was one of the victims of the flare up of violence in the township, as residents accused foreigners of being drug dealers.

The Nigerian businessman said his business had been burned to the ground, with 29 cars a few days ago.

An angry crowd had raided his workshop in search for drugs, he told News24 in an interview outside his burned out workshop.

“But they did not find them. We are not selling drugs here. Arrest those who sell drugs. The police know who is selling drugs in this area. You don’t see any drugs here,” he said.

He said he and other businesses in the area were contributing to the economy and not the crime in the country.

The hardest thing for him, he said, was that he could not simply cry, pack up and go home.

“We are past crying. If I go home, I will be an armed robber there, nothing else. I wouldn’t rob anyone, only South Africans because they target us,” he said.

He bemoaned the fact that Nigerians were often painted with the same brush.

“There are bad Nigerians and there are good Nigerians. They should arrest the bad ones. How can we support our families when we live in fear?” he said.

Lisa Rinna Posts, Deletes, Then Reposts Racy Nude Selfie: 'Zero F--ks Given

Auditioning for another Playboy cover? Lisa Rinna posted a completely nude selfie, deleted it and then reposted it on Sunday, February 19.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 53, stripped down in her hotel room for the mirror pic, but used a strategically placed chair to cover her lady parts. She added a pixelated bar to censor her chest.

Stars Go Nude!

“It’s back,” she captioned the racy photo the second time around. “I got scared then I said I’m 53 — zero f--ks given! Cheers to @playboy for going back to nudes. The female body is so beautiful, every size and every age. Be proud! #thefemalebodyisbeautiful #allshapesandsizes #loveyourself #loveyourbody.”

Real Housewives' Bikini Bodies
Rinna posted her revealing selfie in homage to the men’s magazine’s decision to bring back nudity after a short-lived ban beginning in October 2015. “I’ll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake,” Playboy’s chief creative officer, Cooper Hefner, said on February 13. “Nudity was never the problem because nudity isn’t a problem. Today we’re taking our identity back and reclaiming who are."

Stars' Soap Opera Beginnings
Rinna, who is mom of daughters Delilah, 18, and Amelia, 15, with husband Harry Hamlin, posed for Playboy twice in the past. While she was pregnant with her oldest daughter in 1998, the former soap opera actress was photographed bra-less in a lavender sweater for the cover. She graced the cover again in 2009 in a low-cut black leotard, fishnet stockings and heels as a Mrs. Robinson character.
