BILLBOARD'S 10 HOTTEST SONGS - WEEK OF JANUARY 17, 2015



Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" is the new no.1 song on the planet. This collaboration with Bruno Mars has dethroned Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" after seven weeks of reign. This also ends the 19-weeks-in-a-row of only women holding the highest spot.



As an artist, "Uptown Funk" is Mark Ronson's first no.1 song. But as a writer and producer, Mark Ronson had previously made his mark. He has produced Amy Winehouse's No. 9-peaking "Rehab" in 2007 and Bruno Mars' six-week 2012-13 leader "Locked Out of Heaven." He also co-wrote Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" (No. 19, 2006).


With "Uptown Funk," Bruno Mars earns his sixth no.1 song and second as a featured artist. His first as a guest on B.o.B's "Nothin' on You" in 2010; while Bruno Mars's other no.1 songs as the main artist are "Just the Way You Are" (2010), "Grenade" (2011), "Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man" (2013).


These are this week's most popular current songs across all genres, ranked by radio airplay audience impressions and streaming activity data from online music sources. Songs are defined as current if they are newly-released titles, or songs receiving widespread airplay and/or sales activity for the first time.
