Justin Bieber and DJ Khaled are having perhaps the best year of their careers, and now they've done something that no two musicians have before them.
According to Billboard, last week was the first time in history two artists both claimed a pair of spots on the Hot 100 inside the top three. That's pretty specific, and it's a mouthful to say out loud, but it's actually an incredible moment when it comes to the charts.
Justin Bieber's name appeared in the No. 1 slot on the Hot 100 as a featured guest on the song "Despacito," which is not news anymore. The Latin track, which is fronted by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, had ruled the ranking for eight consecutive frames as of last week, thanks in part to Bieber's presence on a remixed version of the successful track.
Bieber and Khaled stood together at No. 2 with their recent chart-topper "I'm The One." The tune, which debuted in the peak position on the Hot 100 and which also features Lil Wayne, Chance The Rapper and Migos member Quavo, only ruled the chart for a single week, but since then it hasn't gone very far, and in fact it has now earned a handful of frames right behind the seemingly unstoppable "Despacito."
Up to No. 3 is "Wild Thoughts," the fourth proper single from DJ Khaled's new album Grateful, which this week is leading the way on the Billboard 200. That song, which originally started at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and worked its way up one rung thanks to features from superstars Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, is fronted by Khaled, so he was able to enjoy the sight of his name sitting pretty at Nos. 2 and 3 on the listing simultaneously.
It is rare for any artist to be lucky enough to see their name appear inside the top 10 more than once at the same time, and the accomplishment becomes more and more impressive when even fewer positions are considered. Having a pair of top five hits is a feat that happens less frequently, and there are only a few artists who have ever been lucky enough to watch singles with their names attached rule the highest slots in the same charting week.
"Despacito" seems ready to continue its reign on the Hot 100 for some time to come, but both "I'm The One" and "Wild Thoughts" are waiting in the wings, and either one could climb higher and give Khaled another No. 1 in the coming weeks, which might also change this specific charting accomplishment.
