The song is Ye’s fifth leader and Ty Dolla $ign’s second, as well as the first each for featured acts Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, rises to No. 1, from No. 2, on the Billboard Hot 100. The song marks Ye’s fifth leader and Ty Dolla $ign’s second, as well as the first each for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Meanwhile, Ye extends his span of career Hot 100 No. 1s to over 20 years, becoming the first rap artist to achieve the feat.

Ye is also the first rapper ever to have topped the Hot 100 in three distinct decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

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 16, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 12. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

“Carnival,” which becomes the 1,165th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 65-year history, drew 33.7 million streams (up 4%) and 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%) and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) in the March 1-7 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single adds a third week atop the Streaming Songs chart and jumps 19-13 for a new high on Digital Song Sales.

The track was released Feb. 10 on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album Vultures 1, on the former’s YZY label. The set, Ye’s first following a string of hate speech and antisemitic remarks, debuted at No. 1 on the Feb. 24-dated Billboard 200 chart and led for two weeks; it holds at No. 3 in its fourth week on the list.

With a 19th week at No. 1, the set surpasses Garth Brooks’ “Ropin’ the Wind” for the most weeks at No. 1 among country albums.

Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated March 16), rising 2-1, and captures a 19th nonconsecutive week atop the list, breaking the record for the most weeks at No. 1 by a country album. It surpasses Garth Brooks’ Ropin the Wind, which held the record with 18 weeks, earned nonconsecutively, during its run atop the list in 1991-92. (Country albums are defined as those that have appeared on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The list began in 1964.)

One Thing at a Time earned 68,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending March 7 (up less than 1%), 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 revisited the summit for three weeks in a row last June and July, and then posted single-week runs at No. 1 in October, January and February. In the album’s 53 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 March 16, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on March 12. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of One Thing at a Time’s 68,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 7, SEA units comprise 65,000 (down less than 1%, equaling 89.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 2,000 (up 15%), and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 24%).

Since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956, only 12 albums have spent at least 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Here’s a recap.

Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200:

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Noah Kahan’s Stick Season hits a new peak, rising 4-2 with 53,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8%). The album previously topped out at No. 3 on the June 24, 2023-dated list, and returned to that rank on the Feb. 24, 2024, tally.

The rest of the top 10 consists of former No. 1s. Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1 is a non-mover at No. 3 with nearly 53,000 equivalent album units earned (down 18%), SZA’s SOS rises 5-4 (50,000 units; down 1%) and Drake’s For All the Dogs rounds out the top five, climbing 6-5 (42,000; down 4%).

Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) steps 7-6 (39,000 equivalent album units earned; down 5%), Swift’s Lover bumps 9-7 (38,000; down 3%) and Zach Bryan’s self-titled set rallies 12-8 (38,000; up 3%). Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album ascends 11-9 with nearly 38,000 units (up 1%), for its 138th nonconsecutive week in the top 10. It extends its record for the most weeks in the top 10 among albums by a singular artist. The only album with more weeks in the top 10 is the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the region, beginning in 1956.

Closing out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 is Travis Scott’s Utopia, which jumps 17-10 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned (up 12%).

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.

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.

Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” released on Generation Now/Atlantic Records, drew 76.7 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 1%) and 23.2 million streams (down 10%) and sold 6,000 downloads (down 39%) in the Feb. 2-8 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single adds a fourth week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart and dips 2-3 after five weeks atop Streaming Songs and 6-20 after two frames atop Digital Song Sales.

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).

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.
