The Hot 45 Chart - Week Of January 2, 2016

Hey guys! Welcome to the first Hot 45 Chart of 2016! I still have lost of end of the year stuff to do, so stay tuned for that! Before we begin, let's see what happened on the chart last week. Taylor Swift smashed her previous song, Bad Blood with Kendrick Lamar's record at #1, scoring an astounding 15 weeks at #1 with Wildest Dreams as of last week. Who Is Fancy/Meghan Trainor/Ariana Grande - Boys Like You jumped 1 spot to a new peak at #2. Ariana Grande dropped 1 spot to #3 with Focus. Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods took the #4 spot. Adele took the #5 spot with Hello. We also had debuts from Shaggy, Ariana Grande, DJ Earworm, and The Chainsmokers. Will Taylor Swift hold at #1 with Wildest Dreams for the 16th week? Or will Fancy, Ariana, or even Adele take the top spot? Hang on to find out. Now let's get to the exits.
