The song is additionally the first top five Hot 100 hit solely written by a woman in over eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Let&#8217;s run down the top 10 of the newest Hot 100, which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Feb. 15) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Feb. 11). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uLHqpjW3aDs\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Box,&#8221; released on Bird Vision\/Atlantic Records, notches a sixth week at No. 1 on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/streaming-songs\">Streaming Songs<\/a>&nbsp;chart, despite a 6% drop to 63.2 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 6, according to Nielsen Music\/MRC Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track rebounds 16-9 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/digital-song-sales\">Digital Song Sales<\/a>, up 7% to 12,000 sold in the week ending Feb. 6, and surges 25-15 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/radio-songs\">Radio Songs<\/a>, gaining by 34% to 46.1 million all-format airplay audience impressions in the week ending Feb. 9, as it wins the Hot 100&#8217;s top Airplay Gainer award for a third consecutive week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, &#8220;The Box&#8221; is the 14th song released on Atlantic to lead the Hot 100 for at least five weeks in the chart&#8217;s six-decade history, a figure that has swelled by four since just the start of 2017. The label&#8217;s other such leaders in that recent stretch: Lizzo&#8217;s &#8220;Truth Hurts&#8221; (seven weeks, 2019) and Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Perfect,&#8221; with Beyonc\u00e9 (six weeks, 2017-18), and &#8220;Shape of You&#8221; (12 weeks, 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Box&#8221; concurrently crowns the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/r-b-hip-hop-songs\">Hot R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/rap-song\">Hot Rap Songs<\/a>&nbsp;charts, which employ the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100, for a sixth week each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Future&#8217;s &#8220;Life Is Good,&#8221; featuring Drake, spends its fourth consecutive week at No. 2 on the Hot 100, encompassing its entire run on the chart so far. It also keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (37.6 million, down 13%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song is the second ever to log its first four weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 2, after Mariah Carey&#8217;s &#8220;Always Be My Baby&#8221; became the first entry (of 32 to-date) to launch in the runner-up spot, on the chart dated April 6, 1996. &#8220;Baby&#8221; waited patiently for four frames as Celine Dion&#8217;s &#8220;Because You Loved Me&#8221; ran up its No. 1 run to six weeks before ascending for a two-week reign of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post Malone&#8217;s &#8220;Circles&#8221; is steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, and returns to No. 1 on Radio Songs, from No. 2, for a seventh week at the summit (103.6 million, up 2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maroon 5&#8217;s &#8220;Memories&#8221; holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2. It dips to No. 2 on Radio Songs (although with a less than 1% increase to 102.3 million), after it interrupted the reign of &#8220;Circles&#8221; on the ranking a week earlier, when it became the band&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/chart-beat\/8549975\/roddy-ricch-hot-100-number-one-third-week\">seventh leader<\/a>, the most among groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q0hyYWKXF0Q\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tones and I&#8217;s &#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; climbs 7-5 on the Hot 100, reaching the top five for the first time, as it rises 5-3 on Digital Song Sales (16,000, down 2%), 5-4 on Streaming Songs (22.8 million, up 2%) and 12-11 on Radio Songs (54.6 million, up 2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song by the Australian singer-songwriter, real name Toni Watson, previously became the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/chart-beat\/8543923\/tones-and-i-makes-chart-history-down-under-with-dance-monkey\">longest-leading No. 1<\/a>\u00a0in her homeland, while topping multiple other global surveys, including the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/official-uk-songs\">Official UK Singles<\/a>\u00a0chart, where it broke the record for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/chart-beat\/8546379\/rod-stewart-tones-and-uk-charts\">most time at No. 1 by a female soloist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Watson solely wrote &#8220;Dance Monkey,&#8221; and longtime chart fan Mark Blankenship recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAmBlankenship\/status\/1206700487657037825\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted<\/a>&nbsp;about the rarity of a song written by one woman rising to the Hot 100&#8217;s upper reaches. Research reveals that the track is the first top five Hot 100 hit penned solely by a woman in nearly eight years, since Whitney Houston&#8217;s version of Dolly Parton&#8217;s &#8220;I Will Always Love You,&#8221; which Parton wrote by herself, reached No. 3 in March 2012 after Houston&#8217;s passing; the cover originally ruled for 14 weeks in 1992-93. Before that, Taylor Swift sent two songs that she solely wrote into the top five in 2010: &#8220;Mine&#8221; (No. 3 that August) and &#8220;Today Was a Fairytale&#8221; (No. 2 that February).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo-written top five Hot 100 hits in recent years by men are uncommon, too. The late Johnny Marks boasted two over the holidays (classics &#8220;Rockin&#8217; Around the Christmas Tree&#8221; by Brenda Lee and &#8220;A Holly Jolly Christmas&#8221; by Burl Ives), while, before that, J. Cole notched one in 2019, &#8220;Middle Child.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last Hot 100&nbsp;<em>No. 1<\/em>&nbsp;written by just one person? Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Perfect.&#8221; And, the last such leader by a woman? Alicia Keys&#8217; self-authored &#8220;Fallin&#8217;,&#8221; back in 2001. (Of the 247 songs to spend time at No. 1 since the start of 2000, only 11, or 4%, have been penned by a single writer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More &#8220;Monkey&#8221; business: &#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; is the second top five Hot 100 hit with the word &#8220;monkey&#8221; in its title, after George Michael&#8217;s &#8220;Monkey,&#8221; which ruled for two weeks in 1988. (Hey, hey, an honorable mention: The Monkees earned six top five hits, in 1966-68; all reached the top three, with three hitting No. 1.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lewis Capaldi&#8217;s &#8220;Someone You Loved&#8221; slips 5-6 on the Hot 100, after it spent three weeks at No. 1; Arizona Zervas&#8217; &#8220;Roxanne&#8221; rises 8-7, after reaching No. 4; and Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber&#8217;s No. 4-peaking &#8220;10,000 Hours&#8221; drops 6-8, as it tops the multi-metric\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/country-songs\">Hot Country Songs<\/a>\u00a0chart for an 18th week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the Hot 100&#8217;s top 10, Dua Lipa&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Start Now&#8221; holds at its No. 9 high, while claiming top Streaming Gainer honors (16.1 million, up 12%), and Billie Eilish&#8217;s &#8220;Everything I Wanted&#8221; is steady at No. 10, after it hit a No. 8 peak to-date in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more Hot 100 news on Billboard.com this week, and, for all chart news, you can listen (and subscribe) to\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s\u00a0<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/pop-shop-podcast\/id720291560?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">Pop Shop Podcast<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4wYbgp2JPO4M1vKjbTmoqZ\" target=\"_blank\">This Week in Billboard News<\/a><\/em>\u00a0podcast and follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
