Plus, SZA’s “Saturn” rings in a top 10 debut.

A second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 is in the cards for Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.” A week earlier, the song ascended to the summit, becoming her ninth leader on the chart.

Plus, SZA’s “Saturn” rockets onto the Hot 100 at No. 6. The song starts as her 10th career top 10.

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 March 9, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 5. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

“Texas Hold ‘Em,” on Parkwood/Columbia Records/Columbia Nashville, drew 27.6 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 72%) and 25.5 million streams (down 12%) and sold 22,000 downloads (down 24%) in the Feb. 23-29 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single dips to No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, after two weeks at No. 1, and to No. 3 after a week atop Streaming Songs, while bounding 43-23 on Radio Songs, as the song claims top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100 for a second week.

Being promoted to multiple radio formats, “Texas Hold ‘Em” leaps 28-16 on Adult Pop Airplay, 25-17 on Pop Airplay, 36-23 on Rhythmic Airplay – as the Greatest Gainer on each chart – 28-24 on Adult R&B Airplay, 36-32 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and 40-32 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. It also debuts on Adult Alternative Airplay at No. 36, while slipping 34-38 on Country Airplay; thanks to its placement on the two tallies, where Beyoncé had not previously logged any entries, she has tied Pharrell Williams for the most airplay charts – 18 – on which any artist has appeared.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” is one of two songs that Beyoncé released Feb. 11 (with instrumental and clean and explicit a cappella versions of the song released Feb. 14), along with “16 Carriages.” Their arrival was announced via a Verizon commercial that aired during CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII Feb. 11, ahead of the March 29 release of her new album, which follows her 2022 Renaissance LP.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” concurrently adds a third week at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, which uses the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100. The banjo-inflected single became her historic first No. 1 on the ranking; prior to its coronation, no Black woman, or female known to be biracial, had previously led the list.

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, rebounds to a new No. 2 Hot 100 high, from No. 4. It also rises 2-1 for a second week atop Streaming Songs (32.2 million, up 31%), as it wins the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer nod. The track also scores its first week atop both the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. On the former, Ye notches his ninth No. 1; Ty Dolla $ign, his second; and Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, their first each. On the latter, the acts’ career No. 1 counts now stand at 11, three, one and one, respectively.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” descends 2-3 on the Hot 100, following six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, as it posts a seventh week atop Radio Songs (79.4 million, essentially even week-over-week).

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” bumps 5-4 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 3, as the chart’s top Sales Gainer, as it becomes his first leader on Digital Song Sales (3-1; 25,000, up 249%, aided by the Feb. 23 release of new a cappella, acoustic, instrumental, piano instrumental, slowed down and sped-up mixes).

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” retreats 3-5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2.

SZA’s “Saturn” starts at No. 6 on the Hot 100, with 25 million streams, 960,000 in airplay audience and 2,000 sold in its first week, following its Feb. 23 release (after SZA teased the track in a Mastercard commercial that aired during CBS’ broadcast of the Grammy Awards Feb. 4).

“Saturn” launches as SZA’s 10th Hot 100 top 10, and joins her No. 2-peaking “Snooze” (6-9) in the region. “Saturn” simultaneously dethrones “Snooze” atop the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart, debuting as her sixth No. 1. (“Snooze” topped Hot R&B Songs for 30 weeks, tying SZA’s own “Kill Bill” for the longest command by a woman dating to the chart’s 2012 inception.)

Meanwhile, “Saturn” joins a small system of Hot 100 top 10s with names of planets in their titles. The identified such objects that have flown to the top 10:

• “Venus,” Frankie Avalon (No. 1 for five weeks, 1959)
• “Venus,” The Shocking Blue (No. 1, one week, 1970)
• “It’s Too Late”/“I Feel the Earth Move,” Carole King (No. 1, five weeks, 1971)
• “Give Me Love – (Give Me Peace on Earth),” George Harrison (No. 1, one week, 1973)
• “Venus,” Bananarama (No. 1, one week, 1986; a remake of The Shocking Blue’s leader, above)
• “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” Belinda Carlisle (No. 1, one week, 1987)
• “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me),” Train (No. 5, 2001)
• “Saturn,” SZA (No. 6 peak, to date, 2024)
• “Venus in Blue Jeans,” Jimmy Clanton (No. 7, 1962)

Notably, Saturn becomes the fourth planet in the title of a Hot 100 top 10 (with six of the nine songs above having hit No. 1). Honorable mentions to: Bruno Mars (18 career top 10s), Earth, Wind & Fire (seven), Rare Earth (three) and Manfred Mann’s Earth Band (one); The Neptunes, who have produced 16 top 10s; “Baby Pluto” by Lil Uzi Vert (No. 6, 2020; Pluto was downgraded to “dwarf planet” status in 2006); and all top 10s released on Mercury Records, from the Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace” in 1959 through Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” (on Mercury/Republic Records) last month.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, climbs 9-7 on the Hot 100, after it led for a week upon its debut last September. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 27th week each.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Tate McRae’s “Greedy” pushes 9-8, after reaching No. 3, and, below SZA’s “Snooze,” Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” falls 7-10, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October.

Plus: LE SSERAFIM claims second top 10 with arrival of “Easy.”

TWICE achieves its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as With YOU-th debuts atop the tally (dated March 9) with 95,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 29, according to Luminate, largely from traditional album sales. It’s the fifth top 10 for the Korean pop ensemble in total, all earned consecutively.

With YOU-th is the first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 by an all-female group since BLACKPINK’s Born Pink opened at No. 1 in 2022, and only the third since 2008, when Danity Kane’s Welcome to the Dollhouse debuted atop the list.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, fellow all-female Korean pop group LE SSERAFIM debuts at No. 8 with Easy, marking the act’s second top 10-charting effort.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new March 9-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on March 5. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of With YOU-th’s 95,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Feb. 29, album sales comprise 90,000 (it’s the top-selling album of the week, as it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales; it’s also the largest sales week for an album in 2024), SEA units comprise 4,500 (equaling 6.33 million official on-demand streams of the set’s six songs) and TEA units comprise 500. Sales of With YOU-th were bolstered by its availability across 14 CD variants (including exclusives for Barnes & Noble, Target, Walmart and the act’s webstore, all with branded paper merchandise inside the packages as well as some randomized elements) and three vinyl variants (all picture discs, including one Target-exclusive version).

As With YOU-th is mostly in the Korean language, it is the 24th mostly non-English language album to hit No. 1, and the first of 2024.

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time climbs 3-2 with 67,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), while Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1 falls 1-3 in its third week with 64,000 (down 14%). Noah Kahan’s Stick Season is a non-mover at No. 4 with 57,000 units (down 4%), SZA’s former leader SOS is also stationary, at No. 5, with 47,000 (up 1%), Drake’s chart-topping For All the Dogs rises 8-6 with 43,000 (up 1%), and Taylor Swift’s former No. 1 1989 (Taylor’s Version) dips 6-7 with 41,000 (down 7%).

LE SSERAFIM’s Easy starts at No. 8 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned, marking the second top 10-charting effort for the pop group. The act previously hit the top 10 with last year’s Unforgiven, debuting and peaking at No. 6. Of Easy’s 41,000 first-week units, album sales comprise 34,000, SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.86 million official on-demand streams of the set’s five songs) and TEA units equal a negligible sum. Sales of Easy were aided by its availability across 14 CD variants (including exclusives for Barnes & Noble, Target and Walmart, all with branded paper merch inside their packages, including some randomized).

Rounding out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 are a pair of chart-topping sets: Taylor Swift’s Lover falls 7-9 with 40,000 equivalent album units (down 8%) and 21 Savage‘s American Dream is steady at No. 10 with 38,000 units (up 1%).

The song becomes her ninth solo leader.

Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” shuffles to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a week after it debuted at No. 2. The superstar earns her ninth leader on the list, and her first since “Break My Soul” in 2022.

A week earlier, the single became the superstar’s historic first No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs survey; prior to the triumph for “Texas Hold ‘Em,” no Black woman, or female known to be biracial, had previously topped the chart.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” is one of two songs that Beyoncé released Feb. 11 (with instrumental and clean and explicit a cappella versions of the song released Feb. 14), along with “16 Carriages.” The arrival of both tracks was announced via a Verizon commercial that aired during CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, ahead of the March 29 release of her new album, which follows her 2022 Renaissance LP.

“Texas Hold ‘Em,” on Parkwood/Columbia Records/Columbia Nashville, becomes the 1,164th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 65-year history. Below is a look at Queen Bey’s latest coronation.

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.

The single adds a second week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, ascends 2-1 Streaming Songs and debuts at No. 43 on Radio Songs chart.

Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” launches at No. 2, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” opens at No. 3 and Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” rises to No. 10.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” lands a sixth nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard Hot 100. With the song, which first led for a week in December, the rapper doubles his previous longest reign, as “First Class” ruled for three weeks in 2022. He has also led with “Industry Baby,” with Lil Nas X, for one week in 2021.

Meanwhile, three songs are new to the Hot 100’s top 10: Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” bounds onto the chart at No. 2; Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” debuts at No. 3; and Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” rises to No. 10, from No. 11.

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.

Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” released on Generation Now/Atlantic Records, drew 77.8 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 2%) and 21.6 million streams (down 7%) and sold 5,000 downloads (down 7%) in the Feb. 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single adds a fifth week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, drops 3-5 after five weeks atop Streaming Songs and rebounds 20-11 after two frames atop Digital Song Sales. It concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for a 13th week each.

Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” blasts onto the Hot 100 at No. 2, with 19.2 million streams, 4.8 million in airplay audience and 39,000 sold through Feb. 15. The track is one of two that she released Feb. 11 (with instrumental and clean and explicit a cappella versions of the song released Feb. 14), along with “16 Carriages,” which debuts at No. 38 (10.3 million streams; 90,000 in audience; 14,000 sold).

The arrival of both tracks was announced via a Verizon commercial that aired during CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, ahead of the March 29 release of Beyoncé’s album expected to be titled Act II, which follows her 2022 Renaissance LP.

Beyoncé lands her 22nd Hot 100 top 10 with “Texas Hold ‘Em” – which concurrently soars in as her first No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart; “16 Carriages” starts at No. 9 on the latter list, giving her two top 10s with her first two entries on the chart.

As previously reported, “Texas Hold ‘Em” is being promoted to country radio, among other formats, and debuts at No. 54 on the Country Airplay chart. It also begins at No. 38 on Pop Airplay, while additionally drawing play at adult pop, rhythmic, adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop formats.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” concurrently begins at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, where it’s Beyoncé’s 11th leader.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” enters the Hot 100 at No. 3, with 23.5 million streams and 4,000 sold from its Feb. 10 release on the pair’s collaborative album Vultures 1 through Feb. 15. As previously reported, the album, Ye’s first since his string of hate speech and antisemitic remarks, which resulted in companies including Adidas and Def Jam Recordings distancing themselves from the rapper, premieres at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Ye adds his 21st Hot 100 top 10 and Ty Dolla $ign, his third – and first in a lead role; he previously led for a week in 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho” and hit No. 4 in 2016 as featured on Fifth Harmony’s “Work From Home.”

“Carnival” by the pair, billed collaboratively as ¥$: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign, crowns Streaming Songs, marking Ye’s fourth No. 1 and Ty Dolla $ign’s first.

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” backtracks to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 high; Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” falls to No. 5 from its No. 2 best; and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” slips 4-6, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October.

SZA’s “Snooze” descends 5-7 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 29th week.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, retreats 6-8 on the Hot 100, after it led for a week upon its debut last September. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 25th week each.

Tate McRae’s “Greedy” dips 7-9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3. It also becomes McRae’s first No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, after it dominated Pop Airplay for eight weeks.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” climbs to No. 10, from No. 11, with 17.8 million streams (up 7%), 15.9 million in airplay audience (up 17%) and 2,000 sold.

The song is the Strafford, Vt., native’s first Hot 100 top 10. He arrived on the chart last June with “Dial Drunk” (featuring Post Malone), which reached No. 25, and peaked at a No. 14 best among his entries prior to “Stick Season” as featured on Zach Bryan’s “Sarah’s Place” in October. Notably, Kahan wrote “Stick Season” solo, making it any soloist’s first top 10 solely written by that artist since Bryan’s “Something in the Orange” (No. 10, January 2023).

“Stick Season” – which leads the multimetric Hot Alternative Songs chart for a fifth week, after it reached No. 2 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart in November 2022 – is the title track from Kahan’s album released that October. Sparked by its latest deluxe version, the set rebounds to its No. 3 high on the Billboard 200.

Plus, Grammy gains for SZA, Luke Combs and Miley Cyrus.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” returns to No. 1, from No. 2, for a fifth nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard Hot 100. The song first led for a week in December, followed by two frames at the summit in January.

Elsewhere, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” reaches the Hot 100’s top five (8-3) and hits No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, while three songs soar in the Hot 100’s top 10 following spotlights at the Grammy Awards Feb. 4: SZA’s “Snooze” (10-5), Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” (20-8) and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (32-10).

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.

It concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for a 12th week each.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” hits a new No. 2 Hot 100 high, rising from No. 4.

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” bounds 8-3 on the Hot 100, a week after it became his first top 10. It becomes his first Streaming Songs No. 1, with 22.8 million streams (up 23%). (The song’s sum of raw streams is the week’s second-highest, after Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” but “Beautiful Things” tops Streaming Songs due to the application of weighting to all titles’ paid/subscription and ad-supported on-demand streams and programmed/radio streams.)

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” retreats 3-4 on the Hot 100, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October. It also becomes the sixth of her 232 charted titles (the most among women) to log at least 40 weeks on the tally, joining “Anti-Hero” (53 weeks; 2022-23), “Shake It Off” (50; 2014-15), “You Belong With Me” (50; 2008-10), “Love Story” (49; 2008-09) and “Teardrops on My Guitar” (48; 2007-08).

SZA’s “Snooze” reawakens with a 10-5 jump on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, up 29% to 16.5 million streams and 284% to 3,000 sold, as well as 1% to 45 million in airplay audience. SZA performed the song, in a medley with her 2023 No. 1 “Kill Bill,” at the Grammys, broadcast on CBS from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, while “Snooze” additionally won for best R&B song.

Notably, “Snooze” scores its 60th week on the Hot 100. It’s just the 26th title to reach the milestone (among the over 30,000 that have hit the chart dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception).

“Snooze” concurrently leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 28th week.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, keeps at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after it led for a week upon its debut last September. The collab, which won the Grammy Award for best country duo/group performance, tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 24th week each and Hot Country Songs for a 20th frame.

Tate McRae’s “Greedy” descends 5-7 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3. It sports a 6% gain to 1,000 sold after she performed it at the NHL All-Star Game Feb. 3 in Toronto (broadcast in the U.S. on ABC).

Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” revs 20-8 on the Hot 100, after peaking at No. 2, up 26% to 13.6 million streams and 1,185% to 17,000 sold, as well as 1% to 39.4 million in radio reach. Combs performed the song, which was nominated for best country solo performance, at the Grammys with Tracy Chapman, whose original version hit No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1988.

Chapman’s “Fast Car” meanwhile, re-enters Digital Song Sales at No. 1 with 35,000 sold (up 8,215%). It marks the singer-songwriter’s first leader on a Billboard chart since 2000, when “Telling Stories (There Is Fiction in the Space Between)” topped Adult Alternative Airplay for eight weeks. Plus, with 6 million streams (up 153%) and 1.3 million airplay audience impressions (up 67%), Chapman’s “Fast Car” re-enters the Hot 100 at No. 42. She appears on the chart for the first time since the survey dated Dec. 28, 1996, while her recording of “Fast Car” reaches the ranking for the first time since it wrapped its original 21-week run on the list dated Oct. 22, 1988.

(Chapman has won four Grammy Awards, including best female pop vocal performance for “Fast Car,” which she wrote solo, in 1989; she also won for best new artist, while “Fast Car” parent LP Tracy Chapman won for best contemporary folk album that year.)

Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” backtracks to No. 9 from its No. 7 Hot 100 high.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (32-10) likewise benefits from buzz at the Grammys, where it won for record of the year and best pop solo performance – marking her first career Grammy wins – and she performed the song. After dominating the chart for eight weeks starting upon its debut in January 2023, it surges with gains in streams (11.3 million, up 51%) and sales (26,000, up 2,160%), along with 33 million in radio audience.

Plus, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” hits the top 10.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” lunges onto the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart at No. 1. The rapper notches her third leader with the debut of the diss track, following two in 2020: “Savage,” with Beyoncé, for a week that May, and Cardi B’s “WAP,” on which Megan Thee Stallion is featured, for four weeks beginning that August.

Plus, singer-songwriter Benson Boone scores his first Hot 100 top 10, as “Beautiful Things” bounds from No. 15 to No. 8 in its second week on the survey.

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.

“Hiss” launches with 29.2 million first-week streams, 2.9 million radio airplay audience impressions and 104,000 downloads sold Jan. 26-Feb. 1, according to Luminate. In addition to the original version’s clean and explicit options released Jan. 26, an instrumental version and clean and explicit “chopped ‘n screwed” mixes arrived Jan. 31.

The single soars in atop both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts. Megan Thee Stallion adds her fourth leader on the former, following “Savage” (one week at No. 1), “WAP” (10 weeks) and “Body” (one), all in 2020. She also lands her fourth No. 1 on the latter, after “Savage” (three weeks) and her Cardi B collabs “WAP” (two) and “Bongos” (one, last September).

“Hiss” concurrently opens atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, marking Megan Thee Stallion’s third No. 1 on each ranking. “Savage” and WAP” ruled Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a respective two and 10 weeks and Hot Rap Songs for three and eight frames, respectively.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” dips to No. 2 on the Hot 100, following a career-best four weeks at No. 1, while adding a third week atop the Radio Songs chart (75.9 million, up 3%). It leads Rap Airplay for a seventh week and Rhythmic Airplay for a sixth frame and ascends to No. 1 on Pop Airplay, where it’s Harlow’s second leader, after “Industry Baby,” with Lil Nas X, for one week in November 2021; “Lovin on Me” also topped Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay for two weeks beginning in January.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” falls 2-3 on the Hot 100, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October; Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” holds at its No. 4 high; and Tate McRae’s “Greedy” drops to No. 5 from its No. 3 best.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, backtracks 5-6 on the Hot 100, after it reigned for a week upon its debut last September. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 23rd week each and Hot Country Songs for a 19th frame.

Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” is steady at its No. 7 Hot 100 high.

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” jumps 15-8 on the Hot 100, becoming his first top 10. The song surges with 18.5 million streams (up 18%), 800,000 million in airplay audience (up 393%) and 8,000 sold (up 21%).

The 21-year-old Monroe, Wash., native previously charted two Hot 100 entries, each for one week: “Ghost Town” (No. 100, November 2021) and “In the Stars” (No. 82, May 2022). Notably, “Beautiful Things,” released on Night Street Records/Warner Records, becomes the first Hot 100 top 10 for the Night Street imprint, which Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds helms in partnership with Warner. (Imagine Dragons has tallied five Hot 100 top 10s.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, 21 Savage’s “Redrum” rises 10-9, two weeks after it debuted at No. 5, and SZA’s “Snooze” descends 9-10, after reaching No. 2, as it leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 28th week.

With an 18th week atop the list, the set matches Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind for the most weeks at No. 1 among country releases.

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for an 18th nonconsecutive week, rising 2-1 on the list dated Feb. 10. In doing so, it ties Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind for the most weeks totaled No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart among country albums. Ropin’ the Wind logged 18 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 1991-92. (Country albums are defined as those that have appeared on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.)

One Thing at a Time earned 66,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 1 (up 4%), according to Luminate.

One Thing at a Time continues to have the most weeks at No. 1 among all albums since Adele’s 21 logged 24 nonconsecutive weeks atop the tally in 2011-12. One Thing at a Time debuted atop the chart dated March 18, 2023, and spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 through early June. It then logged another three weeks in a row atop the list in late June and early July, nabbed its 16th week in charge on the Oct. 14 chart, followed by its 17th frame atop the Jan. 20 chart. In the album’s 48 weeks on the list, it has never dipped below No. 6. One Thing at a Time finished 2023 as both the No. 1 year-end Billboard 200 album and Luminate’s year-end top album.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 10, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 6. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of One Thing at a Time’s 66,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 1, SEA units comprise 64,000 (up 4%, equaling 87.32 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 1,500 (down 8%), and TEA units comprise 500 (down 1%).

Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956, only 15 albums have spent at least 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Here’s a recap.

Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200:

Two former No. 1s directly follow One Thing at a Time on the latest Billboard 200, as 21 Savage’s American Dream falls 1-2 in its third week (61,000 equivalent album units; down 23%) and Drake’s For All the Dogs is a non-mover at No. 3 (51,000; down 4%).

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season rises 5-4 with 47,000 equivalent album units, though down 2% for the week.

The rest of the top 10 comprises former chart-toppers: Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) climbs 6-5 (45,000 equivalent album units; down 3%), SZA’s SOS steps 7-6 (42,000; up 3%), Swift’s Lover bumps 10-7 (40,000; up 6%), Zach Bryan’s self-titled album ascends 9-8 (nearly 40,000; up 3%), Swift’s Midnights climbs 11-9 (38,000; up 1%) and Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album goes 13-10 (37,000; up 6%).

Plus, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” hits the top five.

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” lands a fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. With the song, which first led in early December, the rapper rewrites his longest reign on the chart, among his three leaders, after “First Class” ruled for three weeks in April-May 2022. He has also reigned with “Industry Baby,” with Lil Nas X, for one week in October 2021.

Plus, singer-songwriter Teddy Swims’ first Hot 100 top 10, “Lose Control,” becomes his first top five hit, jumping from No. 8 to No. 4. It also takes over as the week’s top-selling song.

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 Feb. 3, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Jan. 30. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” released on Generation Now/Atlantic Records, drew 74 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 10%) and 27.4 million streams (up 3%) and sold 6,000 downloads (down 11%) in the Jan. 19-25 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single rebounds from No. 2 for a fifth week atop the Streaming Songs chart; adds a second week at No. 1 on Radio Songs; and dips 2-3 after two frames atop Digital Song Sales. “Lovin on Me” concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for an 11th week each.

The track is currently a standalone single from Harlow, whose most recent album, Jackman., debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 last May, becoming his third top 10 set. (The song’s hook samples singer Delbert “Dale” Greer’s 1995 track “Whatever.”)

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rises 3-2 on the Hot 100, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October, and Tate McRae’s “Greedy” returns to its No. 3 best, from No. 4.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” bounds 8-4 on the Hot 100, two weeks after it became his first top 10. It concurrently becomes his first leader on a Billboard songs chart, ascending 3-1 on Digital Song Sales (7,000, up 22%). It also pushes 9-6 on Streaming Songs (18.6 million, up 12%) and 23-18 on Radio Songs (30.7 million), up 12% in each metric.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, lifts 6-5 on the Hot 100, after it led for a week upon its debut last September. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 22nd week each and Hot Country Songs for an 18th frame.

Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” falls to No. 6 on the Hot 100, a week after it soared in as her eighth career leader. In its second week of release, it drew 25.9 million in radio reach (up 5%) and 16.6 million streams (down 39%) and sold 3,000 (down 95%). The lead single from her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, due March 8 (as announced Jan. 17), claims a second week at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Doja Cat boasts two songs, back-to-back, in the Hot 100’s top 10, both from her album Scarlet: “Agora Hills” returns to the region at a new No. 7 high, from No. 11, as it wins top Airplay Gainer honors (57.7 million, up 14%), and “Paint the Town Red” backtracks 7-8, after it led for three nonconsecutive weeks beginning in September.

SZA’s “Snooze” holds at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 26th week.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, 21 Savage’s “Redrum” falls from No. 5, where it debuted a week earlier, to No. 10. Parent album American Dream rules the Billboard 200 for a second week.

Plus, 21 Savage debuts two songs in the top 10.

Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the pop superstar’s eighth career leader on the chart.

The song is the lead single from Grande’s seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, due March 8 (as announced Jan. 17).

Grande wrote and produced “Yes, And?” with Max Martin and ILYA. With its Hot 100 triumph, Martin makes history, as he passes George Martin for the most No. 1s among producers – 24 – ever on the chart.

Max Martin also ties John Lennon for the second-most Hot 100 No. 1s among writers – 26 each – after only Paul McCartney’s 32.

Additionally in the Hot 100’s top 10, 21 Savage debuts two songs: “Redrum,” at No. 5, and “Née-nah,” with Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, at No. 10. The tracks are from 21 Savage’s LP American Dream, which bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

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.

“Yes, And?,” on Republic Records, becomes the 1,162nd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 65-year archives, and the 74th to debut at the summit.

Here’s a look at its coronation.

Streams, airplay & sales: Released Jan. 12, “Yes, And?” drew 27.2 million streams and 24.8 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 53,000, including 41,000 digital downloads, in the Jan. 12-18 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single launches at No. 1 on both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts, where Grande ups her totals to five and nine leaders, respectively, and No. 28 on Radio Songs.

The track was available for purchase via 14 digital iterations, all for 69 cents by the end of the tracking week: its original version, an edit, an extended mix, an a cappella version and slowed and sped up mixes, each in clean and explicit options, as well instrumental and extended mix instrumental versions.

Grande’s eighth Hot 100 No. 1: Grande earns her eighth Hot 100 No. 1. It’s her first since “Die for You,” with The Weeknd, last March, and her first on her own since “Positions” in November 2020. (She notches her sixth No. 1  debut, following her first five leaders, as she ties Taylor Swift for the most among women; Drake leads all acts with nine chart-topping entrances.)

Ariana Grande’s Hot 100 No. 1s:

• “Yes, And?,” one week at No. 1 to-date, Jan. 27, 2024
• “Die for You,” with The Weeknd, one week, March 11, 2023
• “Save Your Tears,” with The Weeknd, two weeks, beginning May 8, 2021
• “Positions,” one week, Nov. 7, 2020
• “Rain on Me,” with Lady Gaga, one week, June 6, 2020
• “Stuck With U,” with Justin Bieber, one week, May 23, 2020
• “7 Rings,” eight weeks, beginning Feb. 2, 2019
• “Thank U Next,” seven weeks, beginning Nov. 17, 2018

Grande ties Beyoncé for the eighth-most Hot 100 No. 1s among solo women. Mariah Carey leads all women soloists with 19, followed by Rihanna (14), Madonna (12), Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift (11 each), Janet Jackson (10) and Katy Perry (nine).

Max Martin solely claims most Hot 100 No. 1s among producers: Grande co-wrote and co-produced “Yes, And?” with Max Martin and ILYA. She earns her eighth Hot 100 No. 1 as a writer and her first as a producer. ILYA adds his second leader as both a writer and producer, after Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy,” for a week in 2022.

Meanwhile, with its arrival atop the Hot 100, Martin makes history, passing the late George Martin – who produced 19 of The Beatles’ record 20 No. 1s – for the most leaders among producers ever on the chart: 24.

Most Hot 100 No. 1s Among Producers:

• 24, Max Martin
• 23, George Martin
• 18, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald
• 16, James “Jimmy Jam” Harris III
• 16, Terry Lewis

Max Martin also ties the late John Lennon for the second-most Hot 100 No. 1s among writers, 26 each, after only Paul McCartney’s 32. (McCartney and Lennon co-penned all 20 of The Beatles’ No. 1s.)

Most Hot 100 No. 1s Among Writers:

• 32, Paul McCartney
• 26, John Lennon
• 26, Max Martin
• 18, Mariah Carey
• 18, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald

Max Martin first dominated the Hot 100 both as a producer and writer 25 years ago this month, when Britney Spears’ debut smash “…Baby One More Time” hit No. 1 on the Jan. 30, 1999-dated chart.

‘Yes,’ it’s No. 1, ‘And’ a first: “Yes, And?” is the first Hot 100 No. 1 with the word “yes” in its title. It one-ups Teri DeSario’s “Yes, I’m Ready” (with K.C.), which hit No. 2 in March 1980.

Honorable mention: 40 years ago, the band Yes ruled the Hot 100 with “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” for two weeks in January 1984.

(Not to sound negative … but 10 singles with “no” in their titles have topped the Hot 100, from The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” in 1965 through Alicia Keys’ “No One” in 2007.)

No. 1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: “Yes, And?” concurrently opens at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, which uses the same methodology as the Hot 100.

Grande posts her first Hot Dance/Electronic Songs leader on her own, and her third overall, following “Rain on Me,” with Lady Gaga (two weeks at No. 1, 2020), and “Break Free,” featuring Zedd (nine, 2014).

Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” dips to No. 2 after three weeks atop the Hot 100. Meanwhile, it ascends to No. 1 on Radio Songs (67 million, up 15%), becoming his second leader, after “First Class” (four weeks, 2022). “Lovin on Me” tops the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a 10th week each.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” slips 2-3 on the Hot 100, following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October, and Tate McRae’s “Greedy” backtracks to No. 4 from its No. 3 best.

21 Savage debuts two songs in the Hot 100’s top 10: “Redrum,” at No. 5, and “Née-nah,” with Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, at No. 10. The tracks start with 21.4 and 18 million streams, respectively.

21 Savage tallies his 16th and 17th Hot 100 top 10s – with “Redrum” marking his first with no accompanying artists. Travis Scott scores his 15th top 10 and Metro Boomin, his fifth.

Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, falls 4-6 on the Hot 100, after it led for a week upon its debut last September, as it rules the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 21st week each and Hot Country Songs for a 17th frame.

Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” descends 5-7 on the Hot 100, after it led for three nonconsecutive weeks beginning in September; Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” holds at its No. 8 high, a week after it became his first top 10; and SZA’s “Snooze” drifts 6-9, after reaching No. 2, as it leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 25th week.

Plus: Kali Uchis notches her highest charting album ever with the arrival of Orquideas.

21 Savage scores his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as American Dream debuts atop the tally (dated Jan. 27). The set bows with 133,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 18, according to Luminate, nearly completely powered by streaming activity.

All four of the rapper’s leaders have come consecutively, starting with I Am > I Was in 2019, and followed by Savage Mode II (with Metro Boomin in 2020), Her Loss (with Drake in 2022) and American Dream.

American Dream launches with 21 Savage’s best week, by units earned, for any of his non-collaborative projects (surpassing his previous high of 131,000 in the debut frame of I Am > I Was). The set also boasts his biggest streaming week for any of his non-collaborative sets, as its collected songs generated 169.53 million on-demand official streams in its first week (again, beating the opening stanza of I Am > I Was, with 151.87 million).

American Dream was released with little warning, as the set was announced on Jan. 9 and premiered on Jan. 12. The 15-song album boasts guest turns from the likes of Metro Boomin, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Young Thug and Summer Walker.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Kali Uchis logs her highest-charting album ever, as her second Spanish-language full-length set, Orquideas, starts at No. 2 — and with her biggest week ever by units earned (69,000).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 27, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 23. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of American Dream’s 133,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 18, SEA units comprise 128,500 (equaling 169.53 million on-demand official streams of the 15 songs on the album), album sales comprise 4,000 and TEA units comprise 500.

Kali Uchis achieves her highest-charting album ever on the Billboard 200, as Orquideas starts at No. 2 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum — her best week ever — SEA units comprise 38,000 (equaling 51.01 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 14 songs; her biggest streaming week ever for an album), album sales comprise 31,000 (her largest sales week, and the top-selling album of the week) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Orquideas is Uchis’ second top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200, following the mostly-English-language Red Moon in Venus, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in March 2023.

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time falls 1-3 on the Billboard 200 with 61,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1%). Drake’s chart-topping For All the Dogs dips 2-4 (52,000; down 10%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader 1989 (Taylor’s Version) descends 3-5 (50,000; down 11%).

Noah Kahan’s Stick Season slips 5-6 with 45,000 equivalent album units (down 1%), while the rest of the top 10 comprises former No. 1s: Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 falls 4-7 (44,000; down 16%), Swift’s Folklore rises 10-8 (43,000; up 24%), SZA’s SOS drops 6-9 (41,000; down 6%) and Swift’s Lover falls 8-10 (38,000; down 8%).
