With their success over the past 2 years, The Chainsmokers were quickly breaking records for Billboard's hot songs chart. After reaching the #2 position for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100, The Chainsmokers aimed to break Katy Perry's 69-week streak.
Unfortunately, as The Chainsmokers got ‘closer,' they failed to fully break into the #1 position. After 61 consecutive weeks in the charts, The Chainsmokers have officially fallen from the Billboard Top 10 chart, cementing their 61-week streak as the #2 position.
Most Consecutive Weeks in the Billboard Hot 100‘s top 10

The Chainsmokers do now hold the title for the longest top 10 streak on the Hot 100s for duos.
Congratulations to The Chainsmokers on this huge accomplishment.
