Cardi B is the first female rapper to rule without any other billed acts since Lauryn Hill in 1998. Plus, Portugal. The Man earns its first top 10.

Cardi B becomes the first female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart without the assistance of any other credited artists in nearly 19 years, as her debut hit “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on the latest chart (dated Oct. 7).

Plus, Post Malone’s “Rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage, roars in at No. 2 on the Hot 100, and at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts, and Portugal. The Man earns its first Hot 100 top 10, as “Feel It Still” pushes 14-10.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 26).

“Bodak,” released on The KSR Group/Atlantic Records, makes Cardi B (born Belcalis Almanzar, in the Bronx, New York) just the second female rapper to top the Hot 100 without any other billed artists, following Lauryn Hill‘s first solo Hot 100 entry (apart from the Fugees), “Doo Wop (That Thing),” for two weeks beginning with its Nov. 14, 1998, debut at No. 1.

Cardi B is only the fifth female rapper ever to lead the Hot 100 at all. After Hill, Lil’ Kim ruled for five weeks in 2001 with Christina Aguilera, Mya and P!nk on “Lady Marmalade”; Shawnna reigned as featured on Ludacris’ “Stand Up,” which topped the Dec. 6, 2003, chart; and Iggy Azalea‘s introductory Hot 100 hit, “Fancy,” featuring Charli XCX, led for seven weeks in 2014.

Cardi B is also the first female soloist to top the Hot 100 with a debut track unaccompanied by another artist since Meghan Trainor, whose “All About That Bass” led for eight weeks beginning Sept. 20, 2014.

“Bodak” bullets at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart with 46.4 million U.S. streams, up 14 percent, in the week ending Sept. 21, according to Nielsen Music. It bounds 12-3 on Digital Song Sales, up 85 percent to 56,000 downloads sold in the week ending Sept. 21, marking the Hot 100’s top gain in download sales (aided by a 69-cent discount price in the iTunes Store). The track also lifts 16-13 on Radio Songs, with 62 million all-format audience impressions, up 8 percent, in the week ending Sept. 24. (“Bodak” spends a fifth week at No. 1 on the Rap Airplay chart and a second week atop R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay; crowns the Rhythmic Songs airplay chart, with a 3-1 rise; and debuts on Pop Songs on at No. 37.)

Notably, for a second straight week, a song tops the Hot 100 but is not the week’s No. 1 title in streaming, airplay or sales; still, it accumulated enough overall chart points to reign.

As for Atlantic Records in 2017, thanks to Cardi B’s new No. 1, multiple leaders on the label have ascended to their first weeks at the Hot 100’s summit in the same calendar year for the first time since 2012, as Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” ruled for 12 weeks from its debut at No.  1 in Jan. 28. Five years ago, Flo Rida‘s “Whistle” and Bruno Mars‘ “Locked Out of Heaven” each ascended to the top for Atlantic.

Cardi B’s breakthrough hit also spends a sixth week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and a fourth frame atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Post Malone’s “Rockstar” blasts onto the Hot 100 at No. 2, marking the rapper’s second Hot 100 top 10, following “Congratulations” (featuring Quavo), which hit No. 8 in July. Featured rapper 21 Savage earns his first top 10, having previously reached a No. 12 high for five weeks beginning Aug. 26 with “Bank Account” (this week at No. 17).

“Rockstar” debuts at No. 1 on both Streaming Songs (44.1 million) and Digital Song Sales (80,000). (Note that “Bodak” boasts 46.4 million U.S. streams, while “Rockstar” racked 44.1 million, yet the latter is No. 1 on Streaming Songs; that’s because those weekly sums are raw totals before weighting was applied that places a higher value on on-demand streams than programmed streams, like those on Pandora, where “Bodak” sports a significantly higher total than “Rockstar.”)

Also pushing “Bodak” over “Rockstar” on the Hot 100, despite the latter leading Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales: the former’s hefty lead in airplay for the week (62 million vs. 5 million).

Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” dips to No. 3 on the Hot 100 after three weeks at No. 1. It keeps at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (58,000, down 17 percent); falls 2-4 on Streaming Songs (32.7 million, down 18 percent); and is steady at No. 10 on Radio Songs (79 million, up 3 percent).

Logic‘s “1-800-273-8255,” featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, slips from its No. 3 high on the Hot 100 to No. 4. The positive-message song, whose title doubles as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and which a week ago became the highest-charting phone number in Hot 100 history, gains in streaming and airplay despite its drop on the Hot 100, holding at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (36.9 million, up 8 percent) and surging 29-19 on Radio Songs (53 million, up 27 percent). It dips 3-6 on Digital Song Sales (40,000, down 20 percent).

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, descends 4-5 on the Hot 100 after spending a record-tying 16 weeks at No. 1. Still, it tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 34th week.

French Montana‘s “Unforgettable,” featuring Swae Lee, rises 7-6 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3, and Imagine Dragons‘ No. 4-peaking “Believer” rebounds 9-7 on the Hot 100, while ruling the Hot Rock Songs chart for a 29th week.

Yo Gotti‘s “Rake It Up,” featuring Nicki Minaj, returns to the Hot 100’s top 10 at a new high (16-8), logging the chart’s greatest gain in streaming, as it climbs 9-7 on Streaming Songs (28.2 million, up 20 percent), along with jumping 33-22 on Digital Song Sales (19,000, up 32 percent); on Radio Songs, it ascends 28-25 (46 million, up 10 percent). Aiding its momentum, Yo Gotti and Minaj performed the song on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Sept. 14.

Charlie Puth‘s “Attention” slips 8-9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 5. It tops Radio Songs for a third week (118 million, down 6 percent) and hits No. 1 on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, alt-rock group Portugal. The Man achieves its first top 10 on the chart (in its first appearance), as “Feel It Still” flies 14-10. The track (which samples The Marvelettes’ 1961 No. 1 Hot 100 hit “Please Mr. Postman”) rises 8-5 on Radio Songs top (86 million, up 7 percent); 7-5 on Digital Song Sales (41,000, up 6 percent); and 39-36 on Streaming Songs (13.6 million, up 6 percent).

On the Alternative Songs airplay chart, “Feel” passes Imagine Dragons’ “Believer” and “Radioactive” (2013) and Foo Fighters‘ “Rope” (2011) for the second-longest reign in the 2010s, logging a 14th week at No. 1 on the Oct. 7-dated chart. (Muse’s “Madness” holds the record for the most time atop the chart this decade and in the list’s 29-year history: 19 weeks, in 2012-13.)

Additionally, “Feel” is just the second of 55 Hot 100 total top 10s so far in 2017 that has appeared on the Hot Rock Songs chart, following “Believer” (the songs rank at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on Hot Rock Songs this week). At this point in 2016, five of 45 total Hot 100 top 10s had reached the rock tally (including two by Prince that returned following his death that had first hit the Hot 100’s top 10 in 1984: “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain”).

3 Doors Down is an American rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi, that formed in 1996. The band originally consisted of Brad Arnold (lead vocals/drums), Todd Harrell (bass), and Matt Roberts (lead guitar, backing vocals). They were soon joined by rhythm guitarist Chris Henderson. The band rose to international fame with their first single, “Kryptonite“, which charted in the top three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band then signed with Republic Records and released their debut album, The Better Life, in 2000. The album was the 11th-best-selling album of the year and was certified 6x platinum in the United States. They were later joined by drummer Richard Liles, who played during the tour for their first album.

The band’s second album, Away from the Sun, (2002) continued the band’s success; it debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard200 chart, went multi-platinum in the U.S. like its predecessor, and spawned the hits “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You“. The band toured extensively for two years. Daniel Adair played drums on tour from 2002 to 2005. This configuration played nearly 1,000 shows across the world following the release of Away from the Sun. In 2005, Greg Upchurch (Puddle of Mudd) joined to play drums to replace Adair. 3 Doors Down released their third album, Seventeen Days in 2005. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified platinum within one month of release. Their fourth, self-titled album, 3 Doors Down (2008), also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band’s fifth studio album, Time of My Life (2011) debuted at No. 3 on the charts.

Original guitarist Matt Roberts departed in 2012, owing to health issues. He was replaced by Chet Roberts, who was formerly Henderson’s guitar tech. Harrell was fired from the band in 2013 after being charged with vehicular homicide, and was replaced by bassist Justin Biltonen.^[5] Worldwide, 3 Doors Down has sold more than 20 million albums. The band has shared the stage with artists such as Daughtry, Pop Evil, Red Sun Rising, Black Stone Cherry,^[6] Megadeth, Staind, Nickelback, Three Days Grace, Oleander, Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown, Hinder, Mentors, ZZ Top, Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Toby Keith.

Swift leads again with “Look What You Made Me Do,” while Smith scores his highest entrance.

Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Sept. 30) for a third week.

Meanwhile, Cardi B‘s “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” at No. 2 on the Hot 100, becomes the most-streamed song of the week, reaching No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, and Sam Smith soars onto the Hot 100 at No. 5 with “Too Good at Goodbyes,” marking his highest debut and fifth top 10. The track also launches atop the Digital Song Sales chart as the week’s best-selling download.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 19).

“Look,” released on Big Machine/Republic Records as the lead single from Swift’s sixth studio album, Reputation, due Nov. 10, remains atop the Hot 100 despite not leading any of the chart’s three main component rankings. It dips 1-2 on Streaming Songs with 39.9 million U.S. streams, down 35 percent, in the week ending Sept. 14, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales with 69,000 downloads sold, down 39 percent, in the week ending Sept. 14. (The song led the lists for two weeks and one week, respectively.) On Radio Songs, “Look” lifts 13-10 with 75 million all-format audience impressions, up 11 percent, in the week ending Sept. 17, becoming Swift’s 13th top 10 on the airplay ranking.

It’s rare, but not entirely uncommon, for a song to top the Hot 100 but not be a week’s No. 1 title in streaming, airplay or sales (while still accumulating enough overall chart points to reign). Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” last did so, leading the Hot 100 dated May 13, when it ranked No. 2 in both airplay and sales and No. 4 in streaming.

Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” holds at its No. 2 high on the Hot 100 and takes over at No. 1 on Streaming Songs with 40.8 million U.S. streams (despite a 12 percent decline). It falls 8-12 on Digital Song Sales (30,000, down 14 percent) and bullets at No. 16 on Radio Songs (57 million, up 2 percent). The rapper’s breakthrough hit spends a fifth week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and a third week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Logic‘s “1-800-273-8255,” featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, hits a new Hot 100 peak, pushing 5-3. The positive-message song, whose title doubles as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and which gained further momentum after the trio performed it at the MTV Video Music Awards Aug. 27, rises 5-3 on Streaming Songs (34.2 million, up 12 percent); 4-3 on Digital Song Sales (51,000, although down 17 percent); and 33-29 on Radio Songs (41 million, up 16 percent).

All three acts on “1-800” hit new career highs on the Hot 100, while Cara breaks a tie with her prior best rank: her debut hit “Here” reached No. 5 in early 2016.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, descends 3-4 on the Hot 100 after spending a record-tying 16 weeks at No. 1. Still, it tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 33rd week.

Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes” blasts onto the Hot 100 at No. 5, arriving at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales with 90,000 sold. Smith scores his second leader on the sales tally, following “Stay With Me,” which spent two weeks on top in 2014. On the Hot 100, Smith easily lands his highest debut (toppling his prior best, set when “Omen,” by Disclosure featuring Smith, began at No. 64 in 2015). He notches his fifth Hot 100 top 10, following “Latch,” also by Disclosure featuring Smith (No. 7, 2014); “Stay” (No. 2, 2014); “I’m Not the Only One” (No. 5, 2014); and “Lay Me Down” (No. 8, 2015).

“Goodbyes” starts at No. 10 on Streaming Songs (20.8 million first-week U.S. streams), where it’s Smith’s fourth top 10, and ranks at No. 35 on Radio Songs (35 million, up 38 percent) following its first full week of tracking. As previously reported, the song debuts as the British singer-songwriter’s sixth No. 1 on the Official UK Singles chart.

“Goodbyes” is the lead single from Smith’s forthcoming sophomore LP. “The whole album is about many different things, but I wanted to open up with this [song] because it’s about me, and I think that’s where I left people,” Smith says. “I just wanted to come back with something that updated you on my love life, which is still going terribly.”

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, DJ Khaled‘s “Wild Thoughts,” featuring Rihannaand Bryson Tiller, is steady at No. 6 after peaking at No. 2 for seven weeks, while leading the Hot R&B Songs chart for an 11th week; French Montana’s “Unforgettable,” featuring Swae Lee, rebounds 9-7 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3; Charlie Puth‘s “Attention” slips 7-8 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 5, and tops Radio Songs for a second week (124 million, down 2 percent); Imagine Dragons‘ No. 4-peaking “Believer” backtracks 8-9 on the Hot 100, while ruling the Hot Rock Songs chart for a 28th week; and Shawn Mendes‘ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” holds at No. 10, after hitting to No. 6.

Just outside the Hot 100’s top 10, three songs hit new peaks in the top 20: Niall Horan‘s “Slow Hands” (15-11); Portugal. The Man‘s “Feel It Still” (18-14); and J Balvinand Willy William‘s “Mi Gente” (22-19).

Meanwhile, the Hot 100’s top three debuts after Sam Smith belong to Zayn‘s “Dusk Till Dawn,” featuring Sia (No. 44); Kelly Clarkson‘s “Love So Soft” (No. 62); and Blake Shelton‘s “I’ll Name the Dogs” (No. 73).

Swift reigns for a second week with “Look What You Made Me Do” & debuts with “…Ready for It?” Plus, as Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” rises 3-2, solo women control the top two for the first time in almost three years.

Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Sept. 23). Swift also debuts at No. 4 on the Hot 100 with “…Ready for It?,” with both songs previewing her new album Reputation, due Nov. 10.

Meanwhile, Cardi B bumps 3-2 with “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” marking the first time in nearly three years that solo women (in lead roles) rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously on the Hot 100.

Also notably, Charlie Puth‘s “Attention,” at No. 7 on the Hot 100, takes over as the most-heard song on U.S. radio, as it crowns the Radio Songs chart.

As we do every Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 12).

“Look,” released on Big Machine/Republic Records, leads the Hot 100 following its second full week of tracking (after its Aug. 25 release). It tops the Streaming Songschart for a second frame with 61.2 million U.S. streams, down 28 percent, in the week ending Sept. 7, according to Nielsen Music. A week ago, it set the record for the most weekly streams for a song by a female artist: 84.4 million.

“Look” dips to No. 2 after a week atop the Digital Song Sales chart (114,000 downloads sold, down 68 percent, in the week ending Sept. 7) and lifts 14-13 on Radio Songs (72 million all-format audience impressions, up 15 percent, in the week ending Sept. 10). More on Swift’s debut at No. 4 in a moment …

First, Cardi B pushes from No. 3 to a new No. 2 high on the Hot 100 with “Bodak Yellow.” The rapper’s breakthrough hit keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (46.2 million, up 9 percent) and rises 10-8 on Digital Song Sales (35,000, up 2 percent) and 17-16 on Radio Songs (59 million, up 7 percent). The track spends a third week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and a second week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

With Swift at No. 1 and Cardi B at No. 2, the Hot 100 finds two solo women in lead roles in the top two simultaneously for the first time in almost three years, since the Hot 100 dated Dec. 13, 2014. That week, (guess who) Swift ranked at No. 1 with “Blank Space” (with Dec. 13 doubling as her birthday!) and Meghan Trainor placed at No. 2 with “All About That Bass.” Reflecting the chart’s cyclical nature, however, while Swift and Cardi B this week end the lengthy run of male artists in the Hot 100’s top two, that Dec. 13, 2014-dated Hot 100 completed a whopping 15-week streak of women monopolizing the region (thanks to Swift’s “Space” and “Shake It Off”; Trainor’s “Bass”; and Nicki Minaj‘s “Anaconda”).

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, falls 2-3 on the Hot 100. A week ago, the smash, and the No. 1 song of the summer for 2017, ceded the summit to Swift’s “Look” after tying the record for the most weeks (16) spent at No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 59-year history. Still, “Despacito” remains atop the Hot Latin Songs chart, reigning for a 32nd week.

Back to Swift: “…Ready for It”? roars onto the Hot 100 at No. 4, launching at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales with 135,000 downloads sold. Swift scores her 13th Digital Song Sales No. 1, moving to within one of Rihanna, who leads with 14 toppers on the tally. Additionally, with “Ready” and “Look,” Swift is the first act to sell more than 100,000 downloads of two songs in the same week since Ed Sheeran, whose “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill” arrived simultaneously on the Jan. 28-dated Digital Song Sales chart with 240,000 and 171,000 sold, respectively.

“Ready” also starts at No. 11 on Streaming Songs (19 million U.S. streams), drawing 13 million in radio audience. “Ready” is receiving play even as “Look” is Swift’s focus radio single; “Ready” debuts at No. 35 on the Pop Songs airplay chart (while “Look” lifts 9-7 in its third week on the list).

And, more on women’s resurgence in the Hot 100’s upper reaches: Swift’s two songs and Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” make for solo women infusing three of the top four for the first time since, again, Dec. 13, 2014. (For seven weeks just before then, on charts dated Sept. 20 through Nov. 1, 2014, women shut men out of the top five entirely, thanks to hits by Swift, Trainor, Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, Rita Ora and Tove Lo.)

Plus, with “Look” and “Ready,” Swift is the first woman with two concurrent top five Hot 100 hits since… Swift, on Feb. 7, 2015, when “Space” and “Shake” ranked at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.

“Ready” for one more stat about Swift? She adds her 22nd top 10 Hot 100 hit. Among women, only Madonna, the leader among all artists with 38 top 10s, Rihanna (31), Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson (27 each) and Whitney Houston (23) have earned more.

After the trio performed the track at the MTV Video Music Awards Aug. 27, Logic‘s “1-800-273-8255,” featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, continues to build, rising 9-5 on the Hot 100. The song dips 3-4 on Digital Song Sales (61,000, down 12 percent), while surging to the Streaming Songs top five (12-5; 30.6 million, up 53 percent, good for the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer award) and the Radio Songs top 40 (41-33; 37 million, up 22 percent). Logic and Khalid each earn their first top five Hot 100 hit, while Cara collects her second and ties her highest rank: her debut hit “Here” peaked at No. 5 in February 2016.

DJ Khaled‘s “Wild Thoughts,” featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, falls 4-6 on the Hot 100 after peaking at No. 2 for seven weeks. It leads the Hot R&B Songs chart for a 10th week.

Charlie Puth’s “Attention” descends from its No. 5 Hot 100 peak to No. 7, while rising 2-1 on Radio Songs (131 million, up 3 percent). The track is Puth’s second Radio Songs No. 1 and first in a lead role: “See You Again,” by Wiz Khalifa featuring Puth (who co-wrote and co-produced the song), led for six weeks in 2015.

Closing out the Hot 100’s top 10, Imagine Dragons‘ No. 4-peaking “Believer” slides 6-8, while ruling the Hot Rock Songs chart for a 27th week; French Montana‘s “Unforgettable,” featuring Swae Lee, dips 7-9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3; and Shawn Mendes‘ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” backtracks 8-10, after rising to No. 6.

In memory of September 11th, all that have been effected and what binds us together to make amends.

“Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” is a song written by the American singer-songwriter Alan Jackson. It was the lead single from his tenth studio album, Drive (2002), released on Arista Nashville. The song’s lyrics center on reactions to the September 11 attacks in the United States, written in the form of questions. Jackson desired to write a song capturing the emotions surrounding the attacks, but found it difficult to do so.

He debuted the song publicly at the Country Music Association’s annual awards show on November 7, 2001. It was released that month as a single and topped the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for five weeks; in addition, it reached number 28 on Billboard‘s all-genre Hot 100 chart. The song received largely positive reviews from critics, who appreciated its simple, largely apolitical stance. The song won multiple awards at the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Awards, including Song of the Year, and also earned Jackson his first Grammy Award for Best Country Song.

LCD Soundsystem achieves its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as American Dream arrives atop the list. The set earned 85,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Sept. 7, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 81,000 were in traditional album sales. The album was released on Sept. 1 and is the act’s first new studio effort in more than seven years, and first for Columbia Records.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Sept. 23-dated chart (where American Dreamdebuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Tuesday (Sept. 12).

LCD Soundsystem, led by James Murphy, last released a studio set in 2010, when This Is Happening debuted and peaked at No. 10 on the list (its then-highest ranking effort). American Dream is the act’s third charting title — LCD’s second studio effort, Sound of Silver, reached No. 46 in 2007.

American Dream’s debut benefits from a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion in association with the act’s U.S. upcoming tour. Other No. 1 albums in 2017 that have profited from such an offer include Arcade Fire’s Everything Now, The Chainsmokers’ Memories… Do Not Open and Katy Perry’s Witness.

LCD Soundsystem is the third act in a row to notch its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, following Lil Uzi Vert a week ago (with Luv Is Rage 2) and Brand New(Science Fiction, on the Sept. 9-dated list). Other acts that collected its first leaders in 2017 include Lorde, Halsey, Bryson Tiller and Logic. The last time the chart housed three first-timers in-a-row at No. 1 was a little more than two years ago, when seven acts notched their first No. 1s in succession. Between the June 20 and Aug. 8, 2015-dated lists, Florence + The Machine, Muse, James Taylor, Breaking Benjamin, Meek Mill, Tyrese and Future all snagged their first chart toppers.

LCD Soundsystem leads a rather quiet top 10, as American Dream is the only debut in the region. At No. 2, Lil Uzi Vert’s Luv Is Rage 2 slips a rung in its second week, with 73,000 units (down 46 percent). XXXTentacion’s 17 falls 2-3 in its second week with 51,000 units (down 41 percent) while Kendrick Lamar’s former No. 1 DAMN. is up a spot to No. 4 with 40,000 units (down 12 percent). Khalid’s American Teen (8-5) benefits from a lack of competition in the top 10, as even though the album is down 1 percent in units (33,000 earned for the week) it climbs three spots to No. 5.

Imagine Dragons’ Evolve zooms 12-6 with 31,000 units (up 20 percent) and 13,000 copies sold (up 71 percent) after the set was sale-priced in the iTunes Store for $6.99. In terms of digital album sales, the set sold 9,000 copies (up 131 percent).

Kodak Black’s Project Baby Two climbs 9-7 on the Billboard 200 with 30,000 units (down 10 percent), while Logic’s Everybody returns to the top 10 (11-8) with 29,000 units (up 3 percent). It’s the album’s first week in the top 10 since the set opened at No. 1 on the list dated May 27. (In its second week on the list, the album fell straight out of the top 10.) The album has seen a surge in popularity following Logic’s performance of the set’s “1-800-273-8255” on the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards (Aug. 27), alongside the song’s featured guests, Alessia Cara and Khalid.

Closing out the new top 10 are SZA’s Ctrl (14-9 with a little more than 26,000 units; up 5 percent) and Ed Sheeran’s former No. 1 ÷ (Divide) (13-10 with 26,000 units; up 1 percent).

Swift scores her fifth Hot 100 No. 1 and breaks the weekly streaming record for a song by a woman. “Look” also stops the record-tying 16-week reign of “Despacito.”

Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” blasts from No. 77 (where it debuted) to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Sept. 16), following its first full week of data tracking. After its Aug. 25 release, the song soars to the top with the highest weekly streaming and sales sums for a track in 2017 and breaks the record for the most weekly streams ever for a song by a woman.

“Look” — released on Big Machine/Republic Records and the first single from Swift’s album Reputation (her first since 1989 in 2014), due Nov. 10 — is her fifth Hot 100 No. 1. It also dethrones Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, which a week ago tied the record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 (16) in the Hot 100’s 59-year history.

Let’s run down the numerous achievements for “Look” as it crowns the Hot 100, which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. Highlights of the rest of the top 10 will post on Billboard.com later today (Sept. 5), and all charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 6).

Record-breaking streams: Following its first week of streaming, “Look” blasts onto the Streaming Songs chart at No. 1 with 84.4 million U.S. streams in the week ending Aug. 31, according to Nielsen Music. The total is not only the highest for any song this year, passing the 69.6 million with which “Despacito” peaked on the June 17-dated chart, but the highest ever in a week for a song by a female artist, surpassing the debut week of Adele‘s “Hello” (61.6 million, Nov. 14, 2015).

Only one song has posted a greater weekly total than “Look” on Streaming Songs (which began on March 2, 2013): Baauer‘s “Harlem Shake,” which peaked with 103 million, powered heavily by user-generated clips featuring the song’s audio (the week that the survey debuted).

Swift adds her third Streaming Songs No. 1, following “Shake It Off” and “Blank Space.” She ties Miley Cyrus for the most by a woman; among all acts, only Bieber has earned more No. 1s (four).

Best weekly sales of 2017: “Look” also launches with the top weekly download sales this year: 353,000 in the week ending Aug. 31, as it starts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart. That tops the 240,000-download start for Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” (Jan. 28). “Look” sports the highest weekly sales since Justin Timberlake‘s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” bowed with 379,000 on May 28, 2016 (and the best total for a woman since Adele’s “Hello” sold 480,000 in its third week, reflected on the Nov. 28, 2015-dated Digital Song Sales chart).

Swift scores her 12th Digital Song Sales No. 1, passing Katy Perry (11) for the second-most; Rihanna leads with 14 toppers on the tally.

Swift ascent: With its 77-1 vault on the Hot 100, “Look” makes the fifth-greatest leap to No. 1 of all-time. Kelly Clarkson‘s “My Life Would Suck Without You” leads with its 97-1 surge (Feb. 7, 2009). Swift replaces herself for the fifth-biggest jump to the summit: her first leader, 2012’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” rocketed 72-1. (Both “Look” and “Never” debuted from initial airplay before bounding to No. 1 following their first full weeks of streaming and sales tracking. Streaming and sales follow a Friday-Thursday measurement week, while airplay is tracked Monday-Sunday for the Hot 100’s tabulation.)

High(est) five: Swift first led the Hot 100 with “Never” for three weeks in 2012. She added her second, third and fourth No. 1s from 1989: “Shake It Off” (four weeks, 2014), “Blank Space” (seven, 2014-15) and “Bad Blood,” featuring Kendrick Lamar(one, 2015). With “Look” leading in its second week on the Hot 100, all five of Swift’s No. 1s have reigned in four or fewer chart weeks.

Swift is the 13th woman (her favorite number!) with at least five Hot 100 No. 1s. Mariah Carey leads all women (and soloists) with 18 No. 1s, second among all artists only to the Beatles‘ 20.

First singles ranking first: Swift has now topped the Hot 100 with the first single from each of her last three albums. “Look” introduces Reputation; “Shake,” which debuted atop the Hot 100, ushered in 1989, and “Never” was released as the first single from Red.

‘Look’ and listen: As it leads Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales, “Look” charges 23-14 on the Radio Songs chart with 64 million all-format audience impressions following its first full week of airplay tracking. (It debuted a week ago with 46 million in its first three days.) Most notably, “Look” roars 21-9 on the Pop Songs chart (which is based on total weekly plays on a 164-station panel of mainstream top 40 stations), marking Swift’s 14th top 10. It makes the fastest flight to the chart’s top 10 since Timberlake’s “Feeling” flew 24-10 on May 28, 2016.

Leading lady: More than nine months into 2017, Swift is the first woman to top the Hot 100 this year. She’s the first since Halsey reigned, as featured on the Chainsmokers‘ “Closer,” which wrapped its 12-week rule on Nov. 19, 2016. Until “Look,” no woman had topped the Hot 100 in a lead role in more than a year: since Sia‘s “Cheap Thrills,” featuring Sean Paul, led for four weeks from Aug. 6 through Aug. 27, 2016.

Further, “Look” is the first song by a woman unaccompanied by a male artist to rule the Hot 100 since Adele’s “Hello” led for 10 weeks (Nov. 14, 2015-Jan. 16, 2016). The only other such No. 1s since the start of 2014: Swift’s “Shake” and “Space” and Meghan Trainor‘s “All About That Bass.”

Atop the Hot 100, “Look” supplants “Despacito,” which on the Sept. 9-dated chart logged its 16th week at No. 1, matching Carey and Boyz II Men‘s “One Sweet Day” (16 weeks, 1995-96) for the longest command in the chart’s archives. On the new Sept. 16 list, “Despacito” dips to No. 2.

Again, highlights of the rest of the Sept. 16-dated Hot 100’s top 10 will post on Billboard.com later today (Sept. 5), and all charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 6).

Andrea Bocelli, OMRI, OMDSM (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa boˈtʃɛlli]; born 22 September 1958) is an Italian classical crossover tenor, recording artist, and singer-songwriter. Born with poor eyesight, Bocelli became permanently blind at the age of 12, following a football accident.

Bocelli has recorded fifteen solo studio albums, of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas, selling over 80 million records worldwide. He has had success as a crossover performer bringing classical music to the top of international pop charts.

In 1998, Bocelli was named one of People‘s 50 Most Beautiful People. In 1999, Bocelli was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards. “The Prayer”, his duet with Celine Dion for the animated film Quest for Camelot, won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category. With the release of his classical album, Sacred Arias, Bocelli captured a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, as he simultaneously held the top three positions on the US Classical Albums charts. Seven of his albums have since reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and a record-setting ten have topped the classical crossover albums charts in the United States.

With five million units sold worldwide, Sacred Arias became the biggest-selling classical crossover album by a solo artist of all time, and with over twenty million copies sold worldwide, his 1997 pop album Romanza became the best-selling album by an Italian artist of any genre in history, as well as the best-selling album by a foreign artist in Canada and a number of countries in Europe and Latin America. The album’s first single, “Time to Say Goodbye”, was a duet with Sarah Brightman that topped charts across Europe, including Germany, where it stayed at the top of the charts for fourteen consecutive weeks, breaking the all-time sales record, with over three million copies sold in the country. The single went on to sell over twelve million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Bocelli was made a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 2006 and, on 2 March 2010, was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to Live Theater.

“The Music of the Night” (also labeled as just “Music of the Night“) is a song from the 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera. The music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart. It has appeared on multiple soundtracks of the musical, such as the original cast version in which English actor Michael Crawford sings the song.

Rapper Lil Uzi Vert bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with his debut studio album, Luv Is Rage 2, starting with 135,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 31, according to Nielsen Music. The album was released on Aug. 25 through Generation Now/Atlantic Records, and follows two earlier charting efforts for the artist.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Sept. 16-dated chart (where Luv Is Rage 2 debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s websites on Wednesday (Sept. 6) — one day later than usual, due to the U.S. Labor Day holiday on Sept. 4.

Of Luv Is Rage 2’s total debut units, 28,000 are in traditional album sales. The album is powered mostly by SEA units: 100,000 — translating to 150.6 million on-demand audio streams of the tracks on the album. The rest of the album’s starting figure is 7,000 TEA units.

Luv Is Rage 2’s streaming sum of 100,000 SEA units is the largest for an album in nearly four months (since Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. tallied 105,000 units in its third chart week; May 20) and the third-largest streaming debut of 2017 (behind Drake’s More Life, with 257,000 SEA units on the April 8 chart, and DAMN.’s debut of 227,000 SEA units on the May 6 chart).

Luv is Rage 2 features the top 10-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit “XO TOUR Llif3,” which peaked at No. 7 in June.

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, another rapper debuts, as XXXTentacion debuts with his first full-length studio effort 17. It arrives with 87,000 units. Of that sum, 18,000 are in traditional album sales, 67,000 are in SEA units and 3,000 are in TEA units. Earlier in 2017, he notched a pair of Hot 100 hits with “Look at Me!” (peaking at No. 34) and “Roll In Peace” (Kodak Black featuring XXXTentacion, No. 53).

XXXTentacion charted one previous set on the Billboard 200 with the Revengemixtape, hitting No. 44 in June.

Rock band Queens of the Stone Age earns its fifth top 40-charting album as Villainsstarts at No. 3 with 73,000 units (69,000 in traditional album sales). The group previously hit the top 10 with its last album, …Like Clockwork (No. 1 in 2013) and 2005’s Lullabies to Paralyze (No. 5).

Villains is also the best selling album of the week, as it starts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart.

Pop vocal group Fifth Harmony claims its fourth top 10 effort on the Billboard 200, as its new self-titled album bows at No. 4 with 46,000 units (32,000 in traditional album sales). The girl group’s last album, 7/27, also debuted and peaked at No. 4 in 2016 (74,000 in units and 49,000 in sales). Before 7/27, the group collected top 10s with Reflection (No. 5 in 2015) and the Better Together EP (No. 6 in 2013).

With four top 10 albums, Fifth Harmony equals the number of top 10 sets from fellow all-female acts Destiny’s Child and Dixie Chicks. Among all-female groups, only The Supremes have more, with eight top 10s logged between 1965 and 1969.

Kendrick Lamar’s former No. 1 DAMN. slips from No. 3 to No. 5 with 45,000 units (though it’s up 11 percent). The set spends its 20^th consecutive week in the top five, since debuting at No. 1 on the May 6-dated chart.

Rap collective A$AP Mob follows up its No. 13-peaking Cozy Tapes, Vol. 1: Friendswith the new Cozy Tapes, Vol. 2: Too Cozy, which launches at No. 6. The new effort bows with 41,000 units (7,000 in traditional album sales) and is mostly powered by streams (32,000 SEA units). The first Cozy Tapes effort started with 21,000 units back on the Nov. 19, 2016-dated list.

Trailing A$AP Mob by a small margin, country group Old Dominion debuts at No. 7 on the new Billboard 200 with its second-full length studio album Happy Endings(41,000 units; 31,000 in album sales), granting the act its highest charting effort yet. The album was led by the single “No Such Thing as a Broken Heart,” which reached No. 5 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart. Old Dominion previously reached the Billboard 200 with its first studio set, Meat and Candy (No. 16 in 2015) and its self-titled EP (No. 148 in 2015).

Khalid’s American Teen moves 6-8 with 33,000 units (up 15 percent) while Kodak Black’s Project Baby Two falls 2-9 in its second week with just under 33,000 units (down 34 percent).

Rock band The War on Drugs lands its first top 10 effort as its fourth studio album, A Deeper Understanding, starts at No. 10 with 31,000 units (28,000 in traditional album sales). The group’s last release, Lost In the Dream, debuted and peaked at No. 26 in 2014.

A total of seven albums debut in the top 10, giving the chart the most new arrivals in the region since the Nov. 12, 2016-dated tally, when seven albums also launched in the top 10 (led by Lady Gaga’s No. 1 bow with Joanne).
