Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drop Dead’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

The song starts as her fourth leader, with all having arrived at the summit.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” begins its chart life at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It arrives as her fourth leader, with all having launched in the top spot.

The singer-songwriter first reigned with “Drivers License” for eight weeks in January-March 2021. She followed with “Good 4 U” for a week in May 2021 and “Vampire” for two weeks in July-September 2023.

Already the first artist to debut the lead singles from her first two studio albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100, Rodrigo extends her mark, with “Drop Dead” ushering in her third LP, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, due June 12. “Drivers License” revved anticipation for her first set, Sour (with “Good 4 U” also from the album), and “Vampire” introduced Guts.

Further helping build buzz for “Drop Dead,” Rodrigo released multiple versions of the song and videos for it and performed it live April 18 at Coachella.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated May 2, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 28. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
