Brace yourselves: We now live in a world where the Chainsmokers have the longest-reigning #1 single of the year. Billboard reports that their chart-dominating Halsey collab "Closer" has now spent its 11th week atop the Billboard Hot 100, passing Drake's impressive 10-week tenure with "One Dance." That's the longest #1 since Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's 12-week reign of terror with "See You Again," and only the 21st #1 ever to rule for at least 11 weeks.

Chainsmokers, we were doing just fine before we met you.
