Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars teamed up to form Silk Sonic.

After holding the Billboard's No. 1 spot for eight weeks in the beginning of 2021, Olivia Rodrigo's super-hit "Driver's License" slipped from the top in the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Teenager Rodrigo, who burst onto the pop music scene like gangbusters in January of this year, gave up the top spot to fellow Filipino American artist Bruno Mars who teamed up with Korean American Anderson Paak to perform "Leave the Door Open," which rose from No. 3 to No 1. for the week ending April 12.

The Asian American duo known as Silk Sonic first performed their collaboration during the Grammy Awards show earlier this year. It was the eighth time a Mars hit was atop the Billboard Hot 100 and Paak's first time ruling the top spot.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. 

This week, the Asian Americans' hits remained hot despite dropping a bit while  remaining in the Top Ten after theTop 100 rankings for the past week were released today (April 20).

"Driver's License" holds steady at No. 9, while Rodrigo proves she may be a musical force for years to come. Her follow-up single "Deja Vu" debuted at No. 8 on the chart for the week of April 17 but dropped to No. 15 for the past week.

"Ahhhh dl and deja vu on there!!!! screaming and crying!!!! thank u so much!!!!!!" she tweeted in excitement.
