Styles scores his second solo top 10 hit.

Roddy Ricch‘s “The Box” rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart for an 11th week.

Plus, Harry Styles‘ “Adore You” ascends to the Hot 100’s top 10, jumping from No. 16 to No. 7, marking his second solo top 10 hit.

Let’s run down of the top 10 of the newest Hot 100, which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated March 28) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (March 24).

“The Box,” released on Bird Vision/Atlantic Records, is the 26th title to top the Hot 100 for at least 11 weeks.

The track tallies a 12th week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, down 8% to 41.4 million U.S. streams in the week ending March 19. It rebounds 9-7 on Digital Song Sales, although down 18% to 8,000 sold in the week ending March 19, and dips 10-11 on Radio Songs, decreasing by 1% to 65 million all-format airplay audience impressions in the week ending March 22.

“The Box” concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which employ the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100, for a 12th week each.

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” pushes 4-2 on the Hot 100, hitting a new high. It becomes his fifth Digital Song Sales No. 1 (2-1; 16,000, down 28%) and his 10th Radio Songs top 10 (11-5; 72.7 million, up 13%). It rebounds 12-5 on Streaming Songs, after reaching No. 4 (20.8 million, down 3%).

The song, which rules Hot R&B Songs for a fourth week, is from The Weeknd’s album After Hours, which was released Friday, March 20, and is due for a strong start on next week’s Billboard 200. (Lead single “Heartless” topped the Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts dated Dec. 14, 2019.)

Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” drops to No. 3 from its No. 2 Hot 100 high, as it spends a second week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (99.9 million, up 2%).

Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring Drake, slips 3-4 on the Hot 100, after peaking at No. 2 for eight weeks; Post Malone’s “Circles” is steady at No. 5, after logging three weeks at No. 1; and Arizona Zervas’ “Roxanne” rebounds 7-6, after reaching No. 4.

Harry Styles’ “Adore You” vaults into the Hot 100’s top 10, rising from No. 16 to No. 7.

The song becomes Styles’ first top five Radio Songs hit, lifting 6-4 (76 million, up 8%), while rising 19-17 on Digital Song Sales (6,000, down 15%) and re-entering Streaming Songs at No. 40 (10.7 million, down 6%). Boosting the profile of “Adore You,” Styles’ NPR Tiny Desk Concert premiered March 16, with the track closing the four-song set. (The gig followed another high-profile appearance by the pop singer-songwriter, who visited SiriusXM for an interview with Howard Stern on March 2.)

Styles adds his second solo Hot 100 top 10, after “Sign of the Times,” which debuted and peaked No. 4 in April 2017. He also made six trips to the top 10, in 2012-15, as a member of One Direction, rising as high as No. 2 with “Best Song Ever” in August 2013.

With the ascent of “Adore You,” Styles ties former 1D bandmate Zayn for the most solo Hot 100 top 10s by members of the group. Zayn’s “Pillowtalk” topped the chart for a week in 2016 and “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker),” with Taylor Swift, hit No. 2 in 2017. The act’s Liam Payne has notched one top 10 to-date, “Strip That Down,” featuring Quavo (No. 10, 2017).

“Adore You” is from Styles’ second solo LP, Fine Line, which debuted as his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Dec. 28; One Direction boasts four No. 1s on the survey.

(“Adore”-able fun fact: “Adore You” is the third Hot 100 top 10 with “adore” in its title, following two No. 1s: Frankie Valli’s “My Eyes Adored You,” in 1975, and Color Me Badd’s “I Adore Mi Amor,” in 1991. Plus, Miley Cyrus took her own “Adore You,” a different composition than Styles’, to No. 21 in 2014.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, reaches a new high, climbing 10-8; Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” jumps 15-9, after posting three weeks at No. 1; and Billie Eilish’s “Everything I Wanted” elevates 14-10, after peaking at No. 8.
