Ross’ ‘Out’
Is In Again
Diana Ross (above) rules
Dance Club Songs for the
second time in 2018 and
for the sixth time in her
legendary career as “I’m
Coming Out/Upside Down
2018” rises 2-1. Upon
hearing the news, Ross
exclaimed, “Thank you,
thank you, thank you, for so
many blessings!”
The medley, remixed by
Eric Kupper, Chris Cox
and StoneBridge, among
others, follows another
remixed Ross classic, “Ain’t
No Mountain High Enough
2017,” which led the Jan. 20
list. Ross spent five weeks
at No. 1 in 1980 with the
titles reversed: “Upside
Down”/“I’m Coming Out.”
(They were two separate
songs but listed as one
entry, according to chart
rules at the time, as
opposed to the current
mashup.)
On Hot Dance/Electronic
Songs, Zedd, Maren
Morris and Grey notch
a 26th week at No. 1
with “The Middle.” The
track ties Avicii’s “Wake
Me Up!” (2013-14) for
the second-most weeks
on top since the chart’s
inception in January 2013.
Only The Chainsmokers’
“Closer” (featuring Halsey)
has spent more time at
No. 1: 27 weeks in 2016
and 2017.
Speaking of Zedd, the
DJ-producer scores his
10th Hot Dance/Electronic
Songs top 10 with “Happy
Now.” He teamed with
singer Elley Duhé for the
track, which zooms 26-9
following its first full week
of release. “Happy,” which
earned 4.4 million U.S.
streams and sold 9,000
downloads in the tracking
week ending July 26,
according to Nielsen Music,
is Duhé’s first top 10.
On Dance/Mix Show
Airplay, Marshmello and
Anne-Marie return to
No. 1 for a fourth frame
with “Friends.” Plus, Au/
Ra earns her first top 10
and CamelPhat its second
with “Panic Room” (13-9).
