It turns out that lighting does strike twice in the same place, because we get a Top Five debut for the second straight week.

如同被雷劈了两次，因为这些歌曲保持五强的位置已连续二周了。

Let's start in fifth place, where The Chainsmokers and Coldplay hold with “Something Just Like This.”

让我们从第五名开始，烟鬼组合和酷玩乐队的《Something Just Like This》

Kendrick Lamar loses a slot in third place with “Humble,”from his smash hit album Damn.

Kendrick Lamar在本周下降了一个位置，凭借畅销专辑《Damn》中的单曲《Humble》获得第三名。
a slot 一个位置
-Today they have to earn their slot in the chain, and that success will be closely watched by therest of the industry.

Kendrick headlined for two successive weekends at the Coachella festival, and now fans can await his North American headlining tour. It starts July 12 in Glendale, Arizona. Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. will be the opening acts.
他的作品连续两周问鼎科切拉谷地音乐节，粉丝们们终于可以期待他7月12日从亚利桑那州格伦代尔启程的北美巡演了。
successive adj. 连续的，接连的

Bruno, Bruno...make up your mind. Bruno Mars this week returns to second place with “That’s what I like”and Bruno recently stopped by a London landmark.

He's sold more than 26 million albums, but Bruno Mars just can't make that last jump: “That's What I Like” this week returns to its chart high of second place.

布鲁诺•马尔斯（Bruno Mars）至今已经卖出了2600万多张专辑，布鲁诺•马尔斯（Bruno Mars）凭借《That's What I Like》跃居本周流行单曲排名第二位。
Bruno's currently on tour in the United Kingdom, and last week he stopped by the Beatles' old stomping ground, Abbey Road Studios in London. He says he didn't use that famous zebra crossing from the album cover photograph, but it was a temptation.
布鲁诺（Bruno）目前在英国巡演，上周路过披头士的故地——伦敦埃比路录音棚。他说他没有用那个著名的斑马线当封面（伦敦北区埃比路斑马线，因为出现在英国甲壳虫乐队的唱片《Abbey Road》封面上而出名），但这是一种诱惑。
chart high 最高排名

stomping ground 落脚点

-Now Mr. Putin's back is an old spy's stomping ground.

If you're tempted to think we have a new singles champ, think again: Ed Sheeran remains your countdown king with “Shape Of You.”

如果让你猜谁会是最新的个人冠军，艾德•希兰（Ed Sheeran）的《Shape of You》无疑是首善之选。
As of April 6, this was the best-selling single of 2017 in the U.S., moving 1.7 million copies. It's also the only song to have surpassed the million-seller mark so far this year.

4月6日，《Shape of You》成为美国2017年的畅销歌曲，售出170万张。这也是今年迄今为止唯一卖出超过百万张的单曲。
