Pop singer-songwriter Halsey notches her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as her second full-length studio effort, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom,debuts atop the list. The set, which was released on June 2 through Astralwerks Records, earned 106,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 9, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 76,000 were in traditional album sales.

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 June 24-dated chart (where Halsey debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, June 13.

Hopeless Fountain Kingdom follows Halsey’s first full-length album, Badlands, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 115,000 units earned in its first week. Of that sum, 97,000 were in album sales.

The new album was led by the single “Now or Never,” which granted Halsey her first top 40-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist. On the June 17-dated chart, the song held at No. 26 (its peak) for a second week. (In between Badlands and Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, Halsey raised her profile as the featured artist on The Chainsmokers‘ smash “Closer,” which led the Hot 100 for 12 weeks beginning Sept. 3, 2016.)

Halsey’s new album is the first by a woman to be No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2017. The last leading lady to top the chart was Lady Gaga, whose Joanne album debuted on the list dated Nov. 12, 2016 — more than seven months ago. In the last 12 months, Halsey is only the fourth solo woman to top the Billboard 200, following Lady Gaga, Solange (A Seat at the Table) and Barbra Streisand (Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway). Comparatively, in the last 12 months, 16 men have earned No. 1s (including a pair each for Drake and Future), 10 groups (and only one with a female member: Pentatonix), two soundtracks (Fifty Shades Darker and Suicide Squad) and one compilation (The Hamilton Mixtape).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. holds steady with 73,000 units (down 14 percent). The Epic AF compilation rises 11-3 with 49,000 units (up 47 percent), after the set was reissued with three bonus tracks. The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band dips from No. 3 to No. 4 with 45,000 units (down 41 percent), a week after the album returned to the list following its 50^th anniversary reissue.

Country singer Luke Combs sees his debut full-length album, This One’s for You, bow at No. 5 with 43,000 units (35,000 in traditional album sales). The new album is the artist’s second release to chart, following the same-named This One’s for You EP, which peaked at No. 151 in May. The new album was ushered in by Combs’ debut chart single “Hurricane,” which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart.

Drake’s More Life descends 4-6 on the new Billboard 200 with 42,000 units (down 15 percent), Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) falls 6-7 with 40,000 units (up 2 percent) and the Summer Latin Hits 2017 compilation rises 9-8 with 34,000 units (down 7 percent).

Alt-rock band All Time Low collects its fifth top 10 album on the Billboard 200, as Last Young Renegade — the act’s first release through Fueled by Ramen — debuts at No. 9 with 33,000 units (30,000 in traditional album sales). The group previously notched four top 10 sets: Future Hearts (No. 2 in 2015; starting with 80,000 units and 75,000 copies sold), Don’t Panic (No. 6, 2012), Dirty Work (No. 6, 2011) and Nothing Personal (No. 4, 2009).

Rounding out the new top 10 is Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, which moves 7-10 with 32,000 units (down 15 percent).

“Hallelujah” is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley.

Following its increased popularity after being featured in the film Shrek (2001), many other arrangements have been performed by many and various singers, both in recordings and in concert, with over 300 versions known. The song has been used in film and television soundtracks and televised talent contests. “Hallelujah” experienced renewed interest following Cohen’s death in November 2016 and appeared on multiple international singles charts, including entering the American Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.

“Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, reigns for a fourth week, while “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo, marks Malone’s first top 10.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated June 17) for a fourth week. Meanwhile, Post Malone scores his first top 10, with “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo.

As we do each Monday, let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends all-genre sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, June 6.

“Despacito” (released on Universal Music Latino / Raymond Braun / SchoolBoy / Def Jam / UMLE / Republic Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a fourth week, with 69.6 million U.S. streams (up 6 percent) in the week ending June 1, according to Nielsen Music. Only one song has posted a greater weekly total 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. “Despacito” passes prior runner-up “Humble.,” by Kendrick Lamar, which logged 67.4 million (May 6). The only other song to top 60 million: Adele’s “Hello” (61.6 million, in its first week, Nov. 14, 2015). “Despacito” also dominates the On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a third week, up 5 percent to 29.4 million on-demand domestic clicks.

“Despacito” rules the Digital Song Sales chart for a fifth week, with 148,000 downloads sold (up 8 percent) in the week ending June 1; the remix with Bieber accounts for 80 percent of the song’s sales (up from 77 percent a week ago and 73 percent each of the two previous weeks).

On Radio Songs, “Despacito” keeps at No. 7, with 101 million in all-format airplay audience (up 15 percent) in the week ending June 4, adding the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a third consecutive week.

With a fourth week atop the Hot 100, “Despacito” is the second-longest-leading of the three Spanish language-dominant Hot 100 No. 1s in the chart’s history. Los Del Rio’s “Macarena” ruled for 14 weeks in 1996 and Los Lobos’ “La Bamba” (the only all-Spanish-language No. 1; the other two are sung mostly in Spanish) reigned for three weeks in 1987. “Despacito” (whose title translates to “slowly” in English) tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for an 18th week.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a fifth week after topping the May 13-dated chart. It leads Radio Songs for a fifth week, with 165 million in audience (essentially even week-over-week), and tops Hot R&B Songs for a 16th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a ninth week.

DJ Khaled‘s “I’m the One,” featuring Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne, tallies a fourth week at No. 3 after debuting atop the May 20-dated Hot 100. The collab climbs 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (75,000, down 6 percent) and dips 2-3 on Streaming Songs (42.3 million, down 6 percent), while holding at No. 8 on Radio Songs (92 million, up 15 percent). “One” collects a fifth week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.

Lamar’s “Humble.,” which topped May 6-dated Hot 100, holds at No. 4 and becomes his first Radio Songs top 10 as a lead artist (11-10; 66 million, up 9 percent). He’d previously reached the region as featured on two Radio Songs No. 1s: Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” (five weeks at No. 1 in 2015) and Maroon 5’s “Don’t Wanna Know” (eight weeks beginning Dec. 31). Before “Humble.,” Lamar had peaked as high as No. 19 as a lead with “Swimming Pools (Drank)” and “Poetic Justice,” the latter featuring Drake, both in 2013.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Ed Sheeran‘s former 12-week No. 1 “Shape of You” remains at No. 5 and extends its record for the most weeks spent in the top five from a song’s debut, having now logged its first 21 weeks on the Hot 100 in the top five, dating to its arrival at No. 1 (Jan. 28).

Future‘s No. 5-peaking “Mask Off” holds at No. 6 on the Hot 100 and wins the top Streaming Gainer award for its 13 percent boost to 43.3 million U.S. streams. The track also jumps 25-15 on Digital Song Sales (34,000, up 9 percent). Aiding its momentum: a new remix featuring Lamar, released May 25.

Zedd and Alessia Cara‘s “Stay” is steady at its No. 7 Hot 100 peak, while topping Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a third week, and The Chainsmokers and Coldplay‘s No. 3-peaking “Something Just Like This” remains at No. 8 on the Hot 100. The Chainsmokers spend a 57th consecutive week in the Hot 100’s top 10, a streak second only to Katy Perry’s record 69-week run in 2010-11. Lil Uzi Vert‘s “XO TOUR Llif3” is likewise stationary on the Hot 100, at No. 9 after reaching a No. 8 high.

Copy and paste: Nos. 1-9 on the Hot 100 stay in place from last week. The last time that at least the top nine was static? On the chart dated Aug. 24, 2013, the top 11 titles repeated their ranks, led by Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” featuring T.I. and Pharrell, at No. 1. (One act has been a participant in both weeks: Mars placed at No. 7 that week in 2013 with “Treasure.”)

Post Malone celebrates his first Hot 100 top 10, as “Congratulations,” featuring Quavo, rises 13-10. The song bullets at No. 7 on Streaming Songs (30 million, up 3 percent); soars 24-12 on Digital Song Sales, up 13 percent to 37,000 sold, aided by a 69-cent sale price in the iTunes Store; and nears Radio Songs (19 million, up 5 percent). Malone previously peaked as high as No. 14 on the Hot 100 (among three previous visits) with his debut entry, “White Iverson,” in January 2016.

Both songs are from his debut album, Stoney, which debuted at its No. 6 peak in December and has spent its first 25 weeks in the chart’s top 25 (ranking at No. 13 on the current June 17-dated chart). (Malone recently met former NBA star Allen Iverson, for whom his breakout hit is named. “I’m still tripping at how sick it was,” Malone told Billboard.)

Quavo, meanwhile, collects his third Hot 100 top 10 as a soloist, all in featured roles. He first reached the region on Drake’s “Portland” (also featuring Travis Scott), which peaked at No. 9 in April, before hitting the top 10 with “I’m the One” and “Congratulations.” Quavo first entered the tier as part of Migos, whose “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, spent three weeks at No. 1 in January and February.

Beyond the Hot 100’s top 10, three songs are new to the top 20: Childish Gambino‘s “Redbone” (22-17); French Montana‘s “Unforgettable,” featuring Swae Lee (23-18); and Ayo & Teo‘s “Rolex” (31-20).

Plus: The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” returns to the top three, and Lil Yachty debuts in the top five.

Bryson Tiller notches his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as his second studio effort, True to Self, debuts atop the tally. The set, which was released through TrapSoul/RCA Records on May 26, earned 107,000 equivalent album units in the week ending June 1, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 47,000 were in traditional album sales.

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 June 17, 2017-dated chart (where Tiller debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, June 6.

True to Self was released a month earlier than its expected June 23 street date, and is the follow-up to Tiller’s debut set, Trapsoul. The latter set peaked at No. 8 on the chart in January of 2016, and helped Tiller finish the year as Billboard’s top new artist. Trapsoul has earned 1.6 million equivalent album units, of which 441,000 are in traditional album sales.

True to Self was supported mostly by SEA units (57,000) and traditional album sales. The remainder of its bow came from TEA units (2,000).

Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. holds steady at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, with 84,000 units (down 14 percent).

The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band returns to the chart, re-entering at No. 3 with 75,000 units (up 2,062 percent) with 71,000 in traditional album sales (up 3,889 percent). It is the highest rank for the former No. 1 album since the Dec. 30, 1967-dated chart, when the set also placed at No. 3.

The album bounces back to the tally courtesy of its 50^th anniversary reissue on May 26. The album was reissued in a variety of configurations, including some with a bevy of bonus tracks. It spent a total of 15 weeks atop the list back in 1967 — the most weeks at No. 1 for any of The Beatles’ 19 chart-topping albums.

Sgt. Pepper’s’ re-entry also grants The Beatles its highest rank on the chart in more than 16 years. The band has been absent from the top three since the March 10, 2001-dated list, when the greatest hits album 1 was No. 3. (The album had previously spent eight weeks at No. 1.)

Sgt. Pepper’s was last on the Billboard 200 dated Jan. 23, 2016. It notched its last week in the top 10 on the Feb. 3, 1968-dated tally.

Drake’s More Life is a non-mover at No. 4 on the new Billboard 200, with 50,000 units (down 13 percent).

Lil Yachty’s debut studio album, Teenage Emotions, arrives at No. 5 with 46,000 units (20,000 in traditional album sales; 24,000 in SEA and 2,000 in TEA). Lil Yachty previously charted a pair of mixtapes with Lil’ Boat (No. 106) and Summer Songs 2(No. 197), both of which peaked in 2016.

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) stays steady at No. 6 with 40,000 units (down 8 percent), Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic is stationary at No. 7 with a little more than 38,000 units (down 2 percent), and Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 1 descends 5-8 with 38,000 units (down 25 percent).

The new Summer Latin Hits 2017 compilation bows at No. 9 with 37,000 units (22,000 in SEA; 15,000 in TEA and a negligible sum of traditional album sales). The set is largely driven by streams and sales of one red-hot song: Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” The tune has been No. 1 for three weeks on the Hot 100 chart.

Closing out the new top 10 is Harry Styles’ self-titled effort, which falls from No. 3 to No. 10 with 36,000 units (down 47 percent).

“Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, rules for a third week, while “Shape of You” spends a record 20th week in the top five from its debut.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, tops the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated June 10) for a third week. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” becomes the first song to spend its first 20 weeks on the Hot 100 in the top five.

Plus, Zedd and Alessia Cara‘s “Stay” and The Chainsmokers and Coldplay‘s “Something Just Like This,” each in the top 10, crown pop radio airplay charts.

Let’s run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends all-genre sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 31.

“Despacito” (released on Universal Music Latino / Raymond Braun / SchoolBoy / Def Jam / UMLE / Republic Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a second week, with 65.4 million U.S. streams (up 10 percent) in the week ending May 25, according to Nielsen Music. It also rules the Digital Song Sales chart for a fourth week, with 137,000 downloads sold (up 19 percent) in the week ending May 25; the remix with Bieber, released April 17, accounts for 77 percent of the song’s sales (up from 73 percent each of the two previous weeks).

On Radio Songs, “Despacito” keeps at No. 7 with 88 million in all-format airplay audience (up 21 percent) in the week ending May 28, adding the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a second week. “Despacito,” the first mostly-Spanish language Hot 100 No. 1 in 21 years (its title translates to “slowly” in English), tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 17th week.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a fourth week after topping the May 13-dated chart. It leads Radio Songs for a fourth week, with 164 million in audience (down 5 percent), and tops Hot R&B Songs for a 15th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for an eighth frame.

DJ Khaled‘s “I’m the One,” featuring Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne, posts a third week at No. 3 after debuting atop the May 20-dated Hot 100. The collab keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (45.5 million, down 1 percent), No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (80,000, up 4 percent) and No. 8 on Radio Songs (79 million, up 15 percent). “One” adds a fourth week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.

Kendrick Lamar‘s “Humble.” (5-4), which topped May 6-dated Hot 100, and Sheeran’s former 12-week No. 1 “Shape of You” (4-5) swap spots, with the latter making history: “Shape” is the first song to spend its first 20 weeks on the Hot 100 in the top five, dating to its debut at No. 1 (Jan. 28). It passes Bieber’s “Sorry,” which ranked in the top five for its first 19 weeks on the chart in 2015-16.

Here’s a look at the songs to log the most time in top Hot 100’s top five from their debuts (all of which peaked at No. 1 except for “Payphone,” which reached No. 2):

20 weeks, “Shape of You,” Ed Sheeran, 2017
19, “Sorry,” Justin Bieber, 2015-16
17, “Payphone,” Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa, 2012
17, “I Gotta Feeling,” The Black Eyed Peas, 2009
17, “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 1995-96
16, “Candle in the Wind”/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Elton John, 1997-98

Future‘s No. 5-peaking “Mask Off” rebounds 7-6 on the Hot 100, while Zedd and Alessia Cara‘s “Stay” returns to its peak (9-7). “Stay” makes the Hot 100’s greatest sales surge, as it vaults 13-5 on Digital Song Sales with a 91 percent hike to 67,000 sold, thanks in part to a both a 69-cent sale price in the iTunes Store and the pair’s performance of the song on the season finale of NBC’s The Voice during the tracking week.

“Stay” adds a second total week at No. 1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs (2-1) and bounds 4-1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart. On the latter list, the song marks Zedd’s first No. 1 (after peaking as high as No. 2 with “Clarity,” featuring Foxes, in 2013) and Cara’s third, following “Here” in 2016 and “Scars to Your Beautiful” in February.

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay’s No. 3-peaking “Something Just Like This” dips 6-8 on the Hot 100, as The Chainsmokers spend a 56th consecutive week in the top 10, a streak second only to Katy Perry’s 69-week run in 2010-11. “Something” also takes over atop the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart, where it’s each act’s second topper: The Chainsmokers first reigned in 2016 with “Closer,” featuring Halsey, while Coldplay returns to the top after first leading in 2008 with “Viva La Vida,” thus ending a record eight-year and eight-month gap between No. 1s on the survey.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Lil Uzi Vert‘s “XO TOUR Llif3” drops to No. 9 from its No. 8 high and Kygo and Selena Gomez‘s “It Ain’t Me” returns to the top 10 at its No. 10 peak (12-10).

Just beyond the Hot 100’s top 10, two songs performed on the 2017 Billboard Music Awards advance: Julia Michaels‘ “Issues” hits a new high, jumping 14-11 (passing its prior No. 12 peak), as does Imagine Dragons‘ “Believer,” which bumps 20-15, while leading Hot Rock Songs for a 12th week. Plus, Brett Young‘s “In Case You Didn’t Know” pushes 23-19 on the Hot 100 and becomes his first No. 1 on Country Airplay and Gomez’s “Bad Liar” leaps 80-27 on the Hot 100, drawing 13.5 million U.S. streams and 36,000 sold following its first full week of tracking.

Meanwhile, four songs debut in the 40s on the Hot 100: Liam Payne‘s “Strip That Down,” featuring Quavo, the chart’s top new entry at No. 42; The Voice runner-up Lauren Duski‘s “Deja Vu” (No. 43); Perry’s “Swish Swish,” featuring Nicki Minaj (No. 46 [corrected]); and former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello‘s first unaccompanied solo single, “Crying in the Club” (No. 47).

In honor of Memorial Day and the soldiers that fight for what we truly stand for…

“God Bless the USA” is an American patriotic song written and recorded by country music artist Lee Greenwood, and is considered to be his signature song. The first album it appears on is 1984’s You’ve Got a Good Love Comin’. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart when originally released in the spring of 1984, and was played at the 1984 Republican National Convention with President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan in attendance, but the song gained greater prominence during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991, as a way of boosting morale.

The popularity of the song rose sharply after the September 11 attacks and during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the song was re-released as a single, re-entering the country music charts at No. 16 and peaking at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 2001. The song was also re-recorded in 2003 and released as “God Bless the USA 2003”. The song also rose up in popularity in May 2011 when Osama bin Laden was killed by an American raid in Pakistan. Greenwood also wrote a Canadian version of this song called “God Bless You Canada”. The song has sold over a million copies in the United States by July 2015.

“The Twist” is an American pop song written and originally released in early 1959 by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters as a B-side to “Teardrops on Your Letter”. Ballard’s version was a moderate 1960 hit, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Chubby Checker’s 1960 cover version of the song gave birth to the Twist dance craze. His single became a hit, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 19, 1960, where it stayed for one week, and setting a record as the only song to reach number 1 in two different hit parade runs when it resurfaced and topped the popular hit parade again for two weeks starting on January 13, 1962.

In 1988, “The Twist” again became popular due to a new recording of the song by The Fat Boys featuring Chubby Checker. This version reached number 2 in the United Kingdom and number 1 in Germany. In 2014, Billboard magazine declared the song the “biggest hit” of the 1960s.

On Radio Songs, “Despacito” bounds 11-7 with 72 million in all-format airplay audience (up 27 percent) in the week ending May 21. Fonsi and Daddy Yankee each earn their first Radio Songs top 10; more on Bieber’s count in a bit…

“Despacito” (which translates to “slowly” in English) additionally tops the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 16th week. A week ago, on the May 27-dated Hot 100, the track became the first mostly-Spanish language Hot 100 No. 1 in 21 years, since Los Del Rio’s 14-week No. 1 “Macarena” in 1996.

Bruno Mars‘ “That’s What I Like” ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a third week after topping the May 13 chart. Still, it leads the Radio Songs chart for a third frame, with 173 million in audience (down 1 percent), and tops Hot R&B Songs for a 14th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a seventh frame.

Back to Bieber: Not only did “Despacito” mark a milestone for Latin music with its Hot 100 coronation a week ago, but it also made history for Bieber, who became the first artist ever to notch new Hot 100 No. 1s in back-to-back weeks, as a week earlier (on the May 20-dated chart) he debuted at the summit as featured on DJ Khaled‘s “I’m the One,” also featuring Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne. After descending to No. 3 last week (in its second frame), the collab holds at No. 3. “One” rebounds 3-2 on Streaming Songs (45.7 million, essentially even week-over-week), while slipping 2-3 on Digital Song Sales (77,000, down 4 percent).

On Radio Songs, “One” jumps 14-8 (69 million, up 28 percent). Thanks to the climbs of “Despacito” and “One,” Bieber ups his count to 10 Radio Songs top 10s. With “One,” Lil Wayne lands his 20th Radio Songs top 10, Khaled collects his second and Quavo and Chance the Rapper each tally their first. Lil Wayne extends his mark for the most top 10s among male artists on Radio Songs (which began in 1990), pushing further ahead of runner-up Drake (18). Among all acts, Lil Wayne ranks third, after Rihanna (28 top 10s) and Mariah Carey (23).

“One” adds a third week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, Ed Sheeran‘s former 12-week No. 1 “Shape of You” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble.,” which topped May 6-dated chart, are steady at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay‘s No. 3-peaking “Something Just Like This” rebounds 7-6 on the Hot 100, as The Chainsmokers spend a 55th consecutive week in the top 10, a streak second only to Katy Perry‘s 69-week run in 2010-11. On Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, “Something” logs a 10th week at No. 1. “Something” swaps spots with Future‘s No. 5-peaking “Mask Off” on the Hot 100 (6-7), while Lil Uzi Vert‘s “XO TOUR Llif3” keeps at its No. 8 high.

Wrapping the Hot 100’s top 10, Miley Cyrus’ “Malibu” vaults 64-10 following its first full week of activity. Released May 11, the song rockets 22-2 on Digital Song Sales with 77,000 sold in the tracking week of May 12-18 (after selling 29,000 on May 11). It concurrently enters Streaming Songs at No. 11 (21.5 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 18), while drawing 13.5 million in airplay audience in the week ending May 21.

“Malibu,” which Cyrus performed live on national TV for the first time last night (May 21) on the Billboard Music Awards, broadcast on ABC, marks Cyrus’ ninth Hot 100 top 10 and first since “Wrecking Ball,” which became her first No. 1 (for three weeks) in fall 2013. She’s earned eight of her nine top 10s under that billing; her former Disney Channel alter ego Hannah Montana was credited as the artist on 2009’s No. 10-peaking “He Could Be the One.”

And, from Montana to California: “Malibu” (one of two songs by that title to hit the Hot 100: Hole’s different composition reached No. 81 in 1999) is the latest California location name-checked in a Hot 100 top 10, joining hits ranging from “The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)” by Jan & Dean (No. 3, 1964) to “Beverly Hills” by Weezer (No. 10, 2005), along with nine top 10s that feature “California” in their titles, including No. 1s by the Eagles, 2Pac and Katy Perry.

Plus, Zac Brown Band, Paramore & Machine Gun Kelly launch in the top 10.

Harry Styles bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with his self-titled debut effort, launching with 230,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 18, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 193,000 were in traditional album sales.

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 June 3, 2017-dated chart (where Styles enters at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, May 23.

With Styles’ start of 193,000 he earns the biggest debut sales week for a U.K. male artist’s first full-length album since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991. He surpasses the previous record holder, Sam Smith, who saw his In the Lonely Houralbum launch with 166,000 copies sold at No. 2 back in 2014.

In addition, Styles is just the second U.K. male artist to bow at No. 1 with a debut album in the 61-year history of the Billboard 200. He follows his former One Direction bandmate, Zayn, who entered at No. 1 with Mind of Mine on the chart dated April 16, 2016 (with 157,000 units and 112,000 in traditional album sales).

With One Direction having spawned No. 1 solo albums for both Styles and Zayn, the group earns the rare distinction of having more than one member achieve a solo No. 1. The group joins a club that includes Destiny’s Child, which saw both Beyoncé and LeToya Luckett claim No. 1s, while The Beatles launched chart-toppers from George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. (The super group Blind Faith also saw its members Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood earn solo No. 1s, years after the release of the group’s only album, in 1969. Clapton first led the list in 1974, and Winwood in 1988.)

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Zac Brown Band debuts with its latest effort, Welcome Home. It enters with 146,000 units, of which 139,000 were in traditional album sales. The group’s last studio effort, 2015’s Jekyll + Hyde, bowed at No. 1 with 228,000 units and 214,000 copies sold. In total, Zac Brown Band has achieved five top 10 albums: Welcome Home, Jekyll + Hyde, Uncaged (No. 1 in 2012), You Get What You Give (No. 1 in 2010) and The Foundation (No. 9, 2010).

Kendrick Lamar’s former No. 1 DAMN. stays steady at No. 3 with 117,000 units (down 13 percent), while Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 1 dips from No. 2 to No. 4 in its second week with 75,000 units (down 66 percent). The Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 soundtrack falls one slot to No. 5 with 69,000 units (down 21 percent).

Paramore scores its third top 10 album, as its new studio effort After Laughter starts at No. 6 with 67,000 units (53,000 in traditional album sales). It’s the act’s first studio release since its 2013 self-titled set, which bowed at No. 1 with 106,000 copies sold in its first week. The band previously logged a top 10 with its 2009 album Brand New Eyes (debuting and peaking at No. 2).

Drake’s More Life descends 5-7 with 58,000 units (down 7 percent) in its ninth week on the chart. The former chart-topper spent three weeks leading the list.

Machine Gun Kelly nets his third top 10 effort, as Bloom bows at No. 8 with 57,000 units (and 38,000 in traditional album sales). The rapper previously visited the top 10 with General Admission (No. 4 in 2015) and Lace Up (No. 4, 2012).

Rounding out the new top 10 are Ed Sheeran’s former two-week No. 1 ÷ (Divide), which slips 6-9 with 47,000 units (down 5 percent) and Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, as it moves 8-10 with 41,000 units (down 2 percent).
