Ed Sheeran and Beyonce perform onstage during Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life - An All-Star GRAMMY Salute at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Feb. 10, 2015 in Los Angeles.

Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé's "Perfect" rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week, remaining the top-selling song of the week and ranking as the most-streamed title for the first time.

Plus, G-Eazy's "No Limit," featuring A$AP Rocky and Cardi B, surges from No. 10 to No. 5, marking G-Eazy's first top five Hot 100 hit. Meanwhile, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" spends a second week in the Hot 100's top 10, after reaching the region for the first time last week, 23 years after its 1994 release.

Sheeran and Beyoncé's "Perfect," released through Atlantic Records, and first as a solo song by Sheeran on his album ÷ (Divide), spends a fourth week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, up 55 percent to 151,000 downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 21, according to Nielsen Music, good for the Hot 100's top sales gain. Aiding its momentum: its new "Perfect Symphony" version with Andrea Bocelli (which accounts for 32 percent of the song's total sales for the week).

"Perfect" also takes over atop the Streaming Songs chart, gaining by 9 percent to 43.4 million U.S. streams in the week ending Dec. 21. Sheeran scores his second Streaming Songs No. 1, following "Shape of You" (four weeks on top beginning March 25), as does Beyoncé, whose "Drunk in Love," featuring JAY-Z, led for four weeks in 2014.

On Radio Songs, "Perfect" holds at its No. 2 high (125 million in audience, up 6 percent, in the week ending Dec. 24).

Post Malone's "Rockstar," featuring 21 Savage, ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a third week after eight weeks at No. 1. It dips to No. 2 after 11 weeks atop Streaming Songs (42.8 million, down 2 percent), although it leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for an 11th week each.


Camila Cabello's "Havana," featuring Young Thug, keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, while topping Radio Songs for a third frame (135 million, up 2 percent). The song commands the Pop Songs airplay chart for a fifth week and becomes Cabello's second No. 1 (and Young Thug's first) on Rhythmic Songs. She first led the latter list dated Feb. 25, 2017, with "Bad Things," with Machine Gun Kelly.
