Halsey’s “Without Me” Explained

Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” has been dethroned from the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart once again, this time by Halsey. The New Jersey pop star’s breakup anthem, “Without Me,” reached No. 1 this week, becoming Halsey’s first solo No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 chart. She previously topped the charts as a featured artist on The Chainsmokers‘ 2016 smash “Closer.”
