Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé End Post Malone's 8-Week Reign at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Post Malone's "Rockstar" may have reigned supreme at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two months, but Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé's duet "Perfect" is here to dethrone Malone and his eight-week reign atop that hill.

This is far from the first time Sheeran's held that position; his smash hit "The Shape of You" spent 12 weeks on top of the Hot 100, with 11 of those weeks being consecutive. And while fans may not have been here for the duet in the first place, it's important to note that this will be the first time Beyoncé has had a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017... and 2016. That's right, while Lemonade debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 1, none of the singles reached the top of the Hot 100.

Hell, Beyoncé should've gotten a No. 1 for that "Mi Gente" remix!

Post Malone fans, don't fret: he has a plan for getting "Rockstar" back to the top, and that's in the form of the Latin remix of "Rockstar." Hell, if adding Justin Bieber to "Despacito" helped make that track a universal smash, maybe a similar tactic could work for Posty?
