Bruno Mars leads the Billboard Hot 100 yet again. Billboard reports that Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" spent a sixth week at the top spot. If the song can hold on for three more weeks, it tie Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" as the biggest hit since Rihanna's "We Found Love" spent ten non-consecutive weeks at #1 at the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012.
Elsewhere on the chart, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" featuring Wanz rose five places to #2, while The Lumineers' "Ho Hey" was up one spot to #3. Taylor Swift was down a spot to #4 with "I Knew You Were Trouble" and Rihanna's "Diamonds" was down three places to #5.
The bottom half of the top ten was led by will.i.am and Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout," up two places to #6. Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child" featuring John Martin rose four places to #7 and Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" featuring Nicki Minaj was down a spot to #8.
