Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour notches a fourth total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the set earned 83,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending July 16 (down 5%), according to MRC Data. The album holds atop the list for a second straight week, after previously debuting at No. 1 on the chart dated June 5, and then returning to the top for one week on July 3.

Sour leads a quiet chart, which is absent of debuts in the top 10 for the first time in two months. The region last went debut-free on the May 22-dated list. 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.

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 July 24, 2021-dated chart (where Sour holds at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 20. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Sour is the first debut album by a woman to spend four weeks at No. 1 since Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream spent six weeks, all consecutive from its debut, at No. 1 (Dec. 12, 2009–Jan. 16, 2010-dated charts).

Doja Cat’s Planet Her spends a third week locked in the No. 2 position (61,000 equivalent album units earned; down 11%), having debuted there on the July 10-dated chart. Planet Her is the first album to spend its first three weeks on the chart at No. 2 since January 2015, when Nicki Minaj’s The Pinkprint also debuted in the runner-up slot and spent its first three weeks at No. 2 (its peak).

Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 Dangerous: The Double Album rises 4-3 with 44,000 equivalent album units, Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s former leader The Voice of the Heroes dips 3-4 with 42,000 units (down 12%), and Polo G’s chart-topping Hall of Fame climbs 7-5 with 37,000 units (down 8%).

Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia is up 8-6 with 30,000 equivalent album units (down 2%), Tyler, the Creator’s former No. 1 Call Me If You Get Lost slips 6-7 with 28,000 units (down 26%) and Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) rises 11-8 with 27,000 units (down 5%).

The Weeknd’s former No. 1 After Hours jumps 15-9 with nearly 27,000 equivalent album units earned (up 8%), following a surge in physical sales (owed to recently replenished variants of the album on vinyl LP, cassette and CD). Moneybagg Yo’s former chart-topper A Gangsta’s Pain closes out the top 10, holding at No. 10 with a little under 27,000 units (down 10%).

“Montero” also becomes Lil Nas X’s first Pop Airplay chart No. 1.

BTS‘ “Butter” rules the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a seventh week, encompassing its entire run on the ranking so far, dating to its debut at No. 1.

Plus, Lil Nas X‘s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” returns to the Hot 100’s top five, rising 8-5, after it led the list in its debut week in April. It also becomes his first No. 1 on the Pop Airplay radio chart.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated July 17) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (July 13) For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“Butter,” released on HYBE/BigHit Music/Columbia Records, drew 29.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 6%) and 10.8 million U.S. streams (down 1%) and sold 108,800 (down 29%) in the week ending July 8, according to MRC Data. (See below for details regarding a change, effective this week, to the Hot 100’s airplay tracking week.)

The track adds a seventh week atop the Digital Song Sales chart and climbs 23-21 on Radio Songs and 31-26 on Streaming Songs.

“Butter” concurrently enters the Pop Airplay top 10 (11-10), becoming BTS’ second top 10 on the mainstream top 40 radio-based chart, after “Dynamite” hit No. 5 last December. BTS is the first all-South Korean act with multiple Pop Airplay top 10s. One other artist from South Korea has reached the Pop Airplay top 10: soloist PSY, whose “Gangnam Style” hit No. 10 in October 2012.

BTS is set to debut on next week’s, July 24-dated Hot 100 with its newest single, “Permission to Dance,” released Friday (July 9).

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, seven weeks after it opened at No. 1. It posts a seventh week atop Streaming Songs (27.6 million, down 9%); holds at No. 6 on Radio Songs, with 61.3 million impressions, up 15%, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a sixth week; and falls 5-9 on Digital Song Sales (8,200, down 14%).

Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, rebounds 4-3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it tallies a third week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (79.7 million, down 2%), while Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 high.

Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” jumps 8-5 on the Hot 100, returning to the top five for the first time since the chart dated May 1, after it launched at No. 1 on the list dated April 10.

As it rises 5-4 on Radio Songs (65.5 million, up 7%), “Montero” hits No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart, becoming Lil Nas X’s first leader on the ranking. He previously peaked as high as No. 3 on Pop Airplay with his breakthrough smash “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019; the song ruled the Hot 100 for a record 19 weeks.

Lil Nas X leads his fifth airplay chart. He previously topped (all in 2019): Rhythmic Airplay, with “Road” (three weeks) and “Panini” (one week); Dance/Mix Show Airplay and Rap Airplay, with “Road” (four weeks each); and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, with “Road” (three weeks).

(“Montero” makes its three-spot jump in a tightly contested part of the Hot 100, with the songs at Nos. 5 through 9 all close in chart points, and each down week-over-week; The track sports the smallest overall decrease, and greatest airplay gain, among them.)

Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” descends 5-6 in its second week on the Hot 100. It pushes 11-10 on Radio Songs (43.4 million), where it becomes his 10th top 10; at three weeks, it ties “I Don’t Care,” with Justin Bieber, in 2019, for Sheeran’s fastest flight to the region.

“Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, slips 6-7 on the Hot 100, after two nonconsecutive weeks on top. It adds a 13th week at No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs and an eighth frame atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, with both multi-metric charts employing the same methodology as the Hot 100.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Justin Bieber’s former one-week leader “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, backtracks 7-8; The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” holds at No. 9, after two weeks at No. 1; and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” keeps at No. 10, after reaching No. 3.

Change to Hot 100’s airplay tracking week: As of this week’s, July 17-dated Hot 100, the airplay tracking week for the chart, as well as for other genre-based Billboard airplay-, sales- and streaming-based hybrid “Hot”-named surveys, shifts to a Friday through Thursday cycle (from Monday-Sunday) — aligning the radio measurement week for the charts, and Radio Songs, with the Friday-Thursday period utilized for sales and streaming, this week reflecting July 2-8.

The Hot 100 and genre “Hot” charts will continue to be finalized each Monday, with the Hot 100’s top 10 and other chart highlights still to be revealed each Monday afternoon (except for weeks affected by holidays) via the weekly top 10 recap story on billboard.com and social posts, while charts in full will continue to update on billboard.com each Tuesday morning.

The other “Hot” charts that use the Radio Songs data switching to a Friday-Thursday airplay tracking week are: Hot Country Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot R&B Songs, Hot Rap Songs, Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Hard Rock Songs, Hot Latin Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Hot Christian Songs and Hot Gospel Songs.

(This change does not affect format-specific radio format charts, such as Pop Airplay, Country Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Rock & Alternative Airplay and Latin Airplay, among others.)

Plus: G. Herbo scores highest charting album yet with top five debut of “25.”

Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a third nonconsecutive week on top, as the set lifts 3-1 with 88,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending July 8 (down 6%), according to MRC Data. The album debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated June 5, led again on the July 3-dated tally and has yet to leave the top three in its seven weeks on the list.

Also in the top 10, G Herbo scores his highest charting album yet, as his new release 25 debuts at No. 5.

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. 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 July 17, 2021-dated chart (where Sour returns to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 13. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Doja Cat’s Planet Her is steady at No. 2 in its second week on the chart, earning 68,000 equivalent album units (down 37%). Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s former No. 1 The Voice of the Heroes rises 4-3 with 47,000 units (down 9%), while Morgan Wallen’s former 10-week chart-topper Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 6-4 with just over 46,000 units (down 2%).

G Herbo’s fourth studio album, 25, is the lone debut in the Billboard 200 top 10 (and top 40, for that matter) as the set enters at No. 5 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 44,000 (equaling 61.17 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise a little over 1,000 units and TEA comprise less than 1,000. It’s the second top 10 and highest charting effort for the rapper, who previously visited the region with his last album, PTSD, which debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the March 14, 2020-dated chart.

The new 19-track album boasts guests turns from 21 Savage, Gunna, The Kid Laroi, Lil Tjay, Polo G and Rowdy Rebel.

Tyler, the Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost falls 1-6 in its second week, earning 44,000 equivalent album units (down 74%). It’s the first No. 1-debuting album to fall out of the top five in its second week in 2021. The last to do so was Shawn Mendes’ Wonder, which descended 1-25 on the Dec. 26, 2020-dated list.

Polo G’s former No. 1 Hall of Fame dips 5-7 on the new Billboard 200 with 40,000 equivalent album units earned (down 18%). Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia rises 9-8 with just over 30,000 units (down 3%), Migos’ Culture III descends 7-9 with 30,000 units (down 19%) and Moneybagg Yo’s former No. 1 A Gangsta’s Pain rises 11-10 with 29,000 units (down 1%).

Sheeran scores his eighth top 10.

BTS‘ “Butter” churns out its sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, encompassing its entire run on the ranking so far, dating to its debut at the apex.

Plus, Doja Cat‘s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, hits a new Hot 100 high at No. 3 and Ed Sheeran soars in at No. 5 with his new single, “Bad Habits,” which arrives as his eighth career top 10.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated July 10) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (July 7, a day later than usual due to the post-July 4 Monday holiday in the U.S.) For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.ARTISTS MENTIONED

“Butter,” released on HYBE/BigHit Music/Columbia Records, drew 11 million U.S. streams, down 11%, and sold 153,600 (downloads, cassette and vinyl combined), up 20%, in the week ending July 1, according to MRC Data. It also attracted 28.3 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 2%, in the week ending July 4.

The track adds a sixth week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, while backtracking 22-23 on Radio Songs and 18-31 on Streaming Songs.

Sales for “Butter” in its sixth week reflect availability for its original and instrumental versions released May 21; a “Hotter” remix released May 28; “Cooler” and “Sweeter” remixes released June 4; an “alternate single cover” digital single released June 24 in the group’s webstore, with all discounted to 69 cents throughout their availability; and two other versions on sale via BTS’ U.S. webstore (a 7-inch vinyl single, for $7.98, and a cassette single, for $6.98) which count for the first time on this week’s charts, dated July 10, a week later than originally expected due to a shift in their shipping schedules (sparking the song’s top Sales Gainer award on the Hot 100, which it claims for a second consecutive week).

Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, six weeks after it debuted at No. 1. It posts a seventh week atop Streaming Songs (30.2 million, down 6%); keeps at No. 5 on Digital Song Sales (9,500, up 3%); and lifts 7-6 on Radio Songs with 56.8 million impressions, up 19%, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a fifth week.

Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, rises to a new No. 3 Hot 100 high, from No. 4. The song is from Doja Cat’s new LP Planet Her, which launches as her first No. 1 on Top R&B Albums and at No. 2, a new career best, on both the all-genre Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Concurrently, “Kiss” hits No. 1 on the mainstream top 40 radio-based Pop Airplay chart, becoming Doja Cat’s second leader, after “Say So” reigned for six weeks in May-June 2020. It’s SZA’s first Pop Airplay No. 1. (The song is the first to top Pop Airplay by two solo women since Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side,” featuring Nicki Minaj, in 2016-17.) On the all-format Radio Songs chart, “Kiss” climbs 4-2 (70.7 million, up 5%).

Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, dips 3-4 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it logs a second week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (80.6 million, essentially even week-over-week).

Ed Sheeran bounds onto the Hot 100 at No. 5 with “Bad Habits.” Released June 25, the single starts with 38.8 million airplay audience impressions, 17.7 million streams and 33,200 sold. It opens at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales and No. 6 on Streaming Songs, and blasts 36-11 on Radio Songs.

The song enters the Hot 100 as Sheeran’s eighth top 10 (a sum that includes two No. 1s) and first since “I Don’t Care,” with Justin Bieber, reached No. 2 in 2019. He first hit the top 10 with the No. 9-peaking “Don’t” in 2014.

As Sheeran promoted “Habits” with a week-long residency on CBS’ The Late Late Show With James Corden, among other media stops, the song was available in its first sales tracking week as a digital download for its original version and a “voice note acoustic” version, each for 69 cents, and via two CD singles in Sheeran’s U.S. webstore: a “limited edition” option for $2.50 and one with “digitally animated” cover art for $5.

On Pop Airplay, “Habits” roars 23-10 in its second week on the chart, tying 13 other songs for the fastest flight to the top 10, dating to the list’s 1992 inception. (It’s only the second by a lead solo male, after Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” in 2016.) The track also charges 21-13 on Adult Pop Airplay and debuts at No. 15, marking Sheeran’s best career entrance, on Adult Contemporary.

“Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after two nonconsecutive weeks on top. It rebounds for a 12th week at No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs and a seventh frame atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, with both multi-metric charts employing the same methodology as the Hot 100.

Three more prior No. 1s follow in the Hot 100’s top 10: Bieber’s former one-week leader “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, falls 5-7; Lil Nas X’s fellow former one-week topper “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” holds at No. 8; and The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” slips 7-9, after two weeks at No. 1.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” drops 9-10, after reaching No. 3.

Plus: Doja Cat’s “Planet Her” bows at No. 2.

Tyler, the Creator scores his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his latest studio effort, Call Me If You Get Lost, debuts atop the tally. The set was announced on June 17, released on June 25 via Columbia Records and earned 169,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending July 1, according to MRC Data.

In total, Call Me is the artist’s sixth top 10 (the entirety of his charting efforts). Tyler previously hit No. 1 with his last release, 2019’s Igor.

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. 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 July 10, 2021-dated chart (where Call Me debuts to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Wednesday, July 7 (one day later than normal, owed to the post-July 4 Monday holiday in the U.S. on July 5). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Call Me If You Get Lost’s 169,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending July 1, SEA units comprise 114,000 (equaling 152.96 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 55,000 (largely from deluxe box sets sold exclusively via the artist’s webstore) and TEA units comprise less than 1,000.

Call Me was released on June 25 as a 15-track standard digital download album, as well as in a 16-track deluxe digital and a streaming edition with one bonus track (“Safari”). The 16-track physical edition of the album, on CD and cassette, added a different bonus cut (“Fishtail”). Of Call Me’s total album sales for the week, 40,000 were CDs, 10,000 were cassettes and 5,000 were digital downloads. A vinyl LP release has yet to be announced.

The CD and cassette were exclusively sold via the artist’s webstore and sold out within a day. They were available a la carte, as well as in four limited edition deluxe box sets that sold for $25 each. (The box sets included either a CD, shirt and poster or a cassette, shirt and poster.) It has not been announced if any further CDs, cassettes or box sets will be manufactured, nor if they will become available to any other retailers.

While Call Me’s sales were sturdy, it’s worth noting that the album would have still arrived at No. 1 without any sales thanks to its solid streaming figures. It tallied 114,000 SEA units — which would have been enough to make it No. 1 by about 5,000 units over the No. 2 title of the week, Doja Cat’s new studio album, Planet Her.

Planet Her debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 109,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the singer-rapper’s best week in terms of units earned, and highest charting effort yet, surpassing the No. 9 peak of her last release, and lone prior top 10, Hot Pink. The new album boasts the top five-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, as well as guest turns from The Weeknd and Ariana Grande.

Of Planet Her’s starting sum of 109,000 units, SEA units comprise 96,000 (equaling 132 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 10,000 and TEA units comprise 3,000.

Planet Her was initially released as a 14-track standard album on June 25. A deluxe digital and streaming edition followed on June 27, adding five additional tracks. Of the album’s 10,000 sold for the week, 6,000 were via digital download and 4,000 came via CD. (The CD had a limited pressing and was only available via Doja Cat’s webstore.)

A quartet of former No. 1s follows on the Billboard 200: Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour (falling 1-3 with 93,000 equivalent album units earned; down 11%), Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice of the Heroes (3-4 with 52,000 units; down 9%), Polo G’s Hall of Fame (2-5 with 49,000 units; down 27%) and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album (5-6 with 47,000 units; down 3%).

Migos’ Culture III descends 4-7 with 37,000 equivalent album units earned (down 31%), Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) rises 9-8 with 32,000 units (up 4%), and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia dips 7-9 with 31,000 units (down less than 1%).

Justin Bieber’s Justice returns to the top 10, with a 14-10 hike, thanks to its vinyl release on June 25. The former No. 1 earned 30,000 units for the week (up 20%), with album sales comprising 7,000 of that sum (up 618%), of which vinyl LP sales equaled 6,000.

Lipa lands her second Radio Songs chart No. 1.

BTS‘ “Butter” tallies a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, encompassing its entire run on the chart so far, dating to its debut in the top spot.

Plus, Dua Lipa‘s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2, takes over as the most-heard song on U.S. airwaves, hitting No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.

“Butter,” released on HYBE/BigHit Music/Columbia Records, drew 12.4 million U.S. streams, down 1%, and sold 128,400 downloads, up 15%, in the week ending June 24, according to MRC Data. It also attracted 27.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 6%, in the week ending June 27.

The track posts a fifth week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, rebounds 24-18 on Streaming Songs and rises 25-22 on Radio Songs.

Sales for “Butter” in its fifth week reflect availability for its original and instrumental versions released May 21; a “Hotter” remix released May 28; “Cooler” and “Sweeter” remixes released June 4; and an “alternate single cover” digital single released June 24 in the group’s webstore (sparking the song’s top Sales Gainer award on the Hot 100 this week), all discounted to 69 cents throughout their availability. Two other versions on sale via BTS’ U.S. webstore, a 7-inch vinyl single, for $7.98, and a cassette single, for $6.98, are scheduled to count for next week’s charts, dated July 10, a week later than originally expected due to a shift in their shipping schedules.

Notably, “Butter” has sold at least 100,000 in each of its first five weeks (128,400, after 111,400, 138,400, 140,200 and, in its debut week, 242,800). It’s the first song to link such a streak since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, cleared 100,000 in 12 consecutive weeks in May-August 2017. “Butter” is the first song to sell more than 100,000 in each of its first five weeks of release since Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” which did so in its first five frames in March-April 2017.

Meanwhile, “Butter” has spent its first five weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1. Of the 54 titles that have launched at No. 1, “Butter” is just the 11th to spend at least its first five weeks on the chart at the summit. It’s the first to earn the honor since Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” logged its first eight frames on the Hot 100 in the pole position beginning in January. Only one song by a group has topped the Hot 100 for more weeks from its debut than “Butter”: Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day,” which spent its first 16 weeks on the chart at No. 1 in 1995-96, a record reign from a song’s entrance among all titles.

Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100, five weeks after it debuted at No. 1. It posts a sixth week atop Streaming Songs (32 million, down 11%); rises 6-5 on Digital Song Sales (9,200, down 5%); and charges 14-7 on Radio Songs with 47.5 million impressions, up 27%, as it claims the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth week.

Rodrigo sends two tracks to the Radio Songs top 10 simultaneously, as, joining “Good 4 U” in the region, “Deja Vu” rises 12-10 (43.5 million, up 14%). She ups her career total to three top 10s on the ranking, after “Drivers License” dominated for five weeks in March-April.

Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it ascends to No. 1 on Radio Songs, with 80.7 million in audience, down 1% (its second-best weekly total, after reaching 81.1 million a week earlier). Lipa lands her second Radio Songs leader, after “Don’t Start Now” ruled for four weeks in March-April 2020. DaBaby tops the tally for the first time.

“Levitating” leads in its 37th week on Radio Songs, completing the longest climb to No. 1 in the chart’s 30-year history. It passes the 35-week rise of Gabby Barrett’s “I Hope” (featuring Charlie Puth), which reached the apex last October. “Levitating” originally peaked at No. 6 on Radio Songs in January and spent 10 weeks outside the top 10 in February-May before re-entering the top tier as it surged as a soundtrack to clips on TikTok.

Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, holds at its No. 4 Hot 100 high, while Bieber’s former one-week No. 1 “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, repeats at No. 5, as it adds a fifth week atop both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs, with both multi-metric charts employing the same methodology as the Hot 100.

Three more former Hot 100 No. 1s follow in the top 10: “Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, keeps at No. 6, after two nonconsecutive weeks on top; The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” is steady at No. 7, after two weeks at No. 1; and Lil Nas X’s former one-week leader “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” rises 9-8.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” rebounds 10-9, after reaching No. 3, and Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut in the Ocean” slips 8-10, after hitting No. 6, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a sixth week.

Plus: H.E.R. scores first top 10 album with arrival of “Back of My Mind.”

Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a second total week, as the album steps 3-1 in its fifth week on the list. It earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 24 (down 14%), according to MRC Data. The album debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated June 5.

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. 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 July 3, 2021-dated chart (where Sour returns to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 29. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Sour is the second album in 2021 to earn in excess of 100,000 units in each of its first five weeks, following Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, which also collected 100,000-plus weeks in its first five frames (charts dated Jan. 23 – Feb. 20). (It’s worth noting that Dangerous had 30 tracks aiding its SEA and TEA units, while Sour only has 11.)

Polo G’s Hall of Fame falls 1-2 in its second week on the Billboard 200 with 65,000 equivalent album units (down 54%). Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s former leader The Voice of the Heroes former rises 4-3 with 57,000 (down 21%). Migos’ Culture III dips 2-4 with 54,000 units (down 58%). Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album is a non-mover at No. 5 with 49,000 units (down 2%).

Singer-songwriter H.E.R. collects her first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart as Back of My Mind bows at No. 6 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise a little over 29,500 (equaling 39.62 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 5,500 and TEA units comprise 1,000 units. The top 10 arrival continues a banner year for the artist, who won the Academy Award for best original song in April, and took home two more Grammy Awards, upping her total Grammy total to four.

Though Back of My Mind is billed as H.E.R.’s debut full-length studio album, it follows six charting EPs and compilations dating back to 2017. The highest charting of the bunch was the six-song 2018 effort I Used to Know Her: The Prelude EP, which topped out at No. 20.

Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia rises 11-7 on the new Billboard 200 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%), Moneybagg Yo’s former No. 1 A Gangsta’s Pain rises 9-8 with 31,000 units (down 9%), Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) falls 7-9 with 30,000 units (down 18%) and J. Cole’s former leader The Off-Season holds at No. 10 with nearly 30,000 (down 13%).

“Butter” passes the three-week reign of “Dynamite.”

BTS‘ “Butter” adds a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, becoming the South Korean superstar group’s longest leading topper on the tally. It bests the three-week rule of “Dynamite,” its first No. 1, in September-October.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated June 26) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday (June 22). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“Butter,” released May 21 on HYBE/BigHit Entertainment/Columbia Records, drew 12.5 million U.S. streams, down 19%, and sold 111,400 downloads, down 20%, in the week ending June 17, according to MRC Data. It also attracted 25.8 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 6%, in the week ending June 20.

It also attracted 25.8 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 6%, in the week ending June 20.

The track posts a fourth week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, drops 19-24 on Streaming Songs and rises 28-25 on Radio Songs.

As “Butter” now sports BTS’ longest Hot 100 command, here’s a recap of the act’s four leaders:

Title, weeks at No. 1, date reached No. 1
“Butter,” four, June 5, 2021
“Dynamite,” three, beginning Sept. 5, 2020
“Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, one, Oct. 17, 2020
“Life Goes On,” one, Dec. 5, 2020

Meanwhile, “Butter” has spent its first four weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1, dating to its debut at the summit. Of the 54 titles that have launched at No. 1, “Butter” is just the 13th to spend at least its first four weeks on the chart in the top spot, or a feat that just under a quarter of all No. 1s debuts have achieved. It’s the first song to earn the honor since Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” logged its first eight frames on the Hot 100 in the pole position beginning in January, as well as the first by a group since 1998, when Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” led in its first four weeks (encompassing its entire command) that September.

(Sales for “Butter” in its fourth week reflect availability for its original and instrumental versions released May 21; a “Hotter” remix released May 28; and “Cooler” and “Sweeter” remixes released June 4, all discounted to 69 cents in all four frames. Two other versions of “Butter” on sale via BTS’ U.S. webstore, a 7-inch vinyl single, for $7.98, and a cassette single, for $6.98, are scheduled to count for next week’s charts, dated July 3, after they were shipped to consumers June 18.)

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100, four weeks after it debuted at No. 1. It posts a fifth week atop Streaming Songs (36 million, down 15%); slips 5-6 on Digital Song Sales (9,600, down 13%); and jumps 21-14 on Radio Songs with 37.5 million impressions, up 36%, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a third week.

Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it hits a new No. 2 high on Radio Songs, up 4% to 81.1 million in audience.

Notably, for a third consecutive week, “Butter,” “Good 4 U” and “Levitating” ranks at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Hot 100. Songs had last locked in the chart’s top three positions for at least three straight weeks when Roddy Ricch’s “The Box,” Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring Drake, and Post Malone’s “Circles” did so for four frames in a row in February-March 2020.

Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, hits a new Hot 100 high, jumping 7-4, after previously reaching No. 5. Leading its gains, the track pushes 6-4 on Radio Songs, up 16% to 60.8 million in audience.

Justin Bieber’s former one-week No. 1 “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, dips 4-5 on the Hot 100. It adds a fourth week atop both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs, with both multi-metric charts employing the same methodology as the Hot 100.

“Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, descends 5-6 on the Hot 100, after two nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. It notches a 10th week atop Radio Songs (82.3 million, down 7%).

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” retreats 6-7 on the Hot 100, after two weeks at No. 1; Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut in the Ocean” holds at No. 8, after hitting No. 6, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a fifth week; Lil Nas X’s former one-week Hot 100 leader “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” returns to the top 10, pushing 11-9; and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” drops 9-10, after reaching No. 3.

Plus: Migos, TWICE and Maroon 5 debut in top 10, while Bo Burnham’s “Inside (The Songs)” jumps 116-7.

Polo G lands his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as Hall of Fame opens atop the tally, earning 143,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending June 17, according to MRC Data. All three of the rapper’s charting albums have reached the top 10.

The 20-track Hall of Fame, released on June 11 via Columbia Records, contains Polo G’s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, “Rapstar,” which spent two weeks at No. 1 (April 24 and May 1, 2021-dated charts). The album also boasts guests such as The Kid LAROI, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Roddy Ricch, Pop Smoke, Rod Wave and Young Thug.

Hall of Fame leads a busy week in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, as Migos’ Culture III starts at No. 2, TWICE’s Taste of Love debuts at No. 6, Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) jumps 116-7 after its first full tracking week of activity, and Maroon 5’s Jordi bows at No. 8.

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. 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 June 26, 2021-dated chart (where Hall of Fame debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Hall of Fame’s 143,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending June 17, SEA units comprise 124,000 (equaling 181.9 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 18,000 (aided in part by deep discounting of the set at digital retail for a portion of the week) and TEA units comprise a little over 1,000. Polo G previously hit the top 10 with The Goat (No. 2 in 2020) and Die a Legend (No. 6 in 2019).

Rap trio Migos debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with Culture III, earning 130,500 equivalent album units. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 106,000 (equaling 144.57 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 22,500 and TEA units comprise nearly 2,000.

Culture III was initially released on June 11 as a 19-track album, but was bolstered be a deluxe edition release on June 17 that added five extra tracks. Like Polo G’s Hall of Fame, Culture III was also deeply discounted at digital retail for a portion of the tracking week. Culture III and Hall of Fame have the second-and-third-biggest sales weeks (22,500 and 18,000) for hip-hop albums in 2021, trailing only the debut frame of J. Cole’s The Off-Season (37,000; May 29-dated chart).

Culture III is Migos’ third album to reach the top two on the Billboard 200, following Culture and Culture II (both No. 1, in 2017 and 2018, respectively).

A trio of former No. 1 albums lines up next on the new Billboard 200: Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour falls 2-3 (122,000 equivalent album units earned; down 15%), Lil Durk and Lil Baby’s The Voice of the Heroes dips 1-4 in its second week (73,000 units; down 52%) and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album descends 3-5 (50,000 units; down less than 1%).

K-pop girl group TWICE debuts at No. 6 with Taste of Love, with 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 43,000 (making it the top selling album of the week), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 5.09 million on-demand streams of the album’s six tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Like many K-pop releases, the CD edition of the album was issued in multiple collectible packages (four, including a Target-exclusive edition), each with assorted internal paper goods and randomized elements. Of the album’s 43,000 copies sold, the CD editions combined sold 39,000. The rest of the sales came from the album’s digital download. Taste of Love is the first top 10 for the nine-member act.

Bo Burnham’s Inside (The Songs) jumps from No. 116 to No. 7 after its first full tracking week of activity, earning 37,000 equivalent album units (up 330%). Of that sum, SEA units comprise 33,000 (equaling 44.71 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise less than 1,000. The album bowed on the list a week ago after one day of activity, as it was released on Thursday (June 10), the final day of that chart’s tracking week. Inside (The Songs) is the companion album to Burnham’s Netflix special Bo Burnham: Inside, which premiered on May 30.

Inside (The Songs) is categorized as a comedy album and is the first such album to reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200 since the chart dated Aug. 22, 2015, when Lil Dicky’s Professional Rapper debuted and peaked at No. 7.

Maroon 5’s new album Jordi debuts at No. 8, marking the seventh top 10 effort for the group. It bows with 37,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 20,000 (equaling 27.64 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 15,000 and TEA units comprise 2,000. All seven of Maroon 5’s full-length studio albums have reached the top 10, stretching back to the act’s debut, Songs About Jane, which peaked at No. 6 in 2004.

Rounding out the new top 10 are two former No. 1s: Moneybagg Yo’s A Gangsta’s Pain, which falls 6-9 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned (down 11%), and J. Cole’s The Off-Season, slipping 4-10 with just under 34,000 units (down 22%).

BTS matches its longest reign, tying the three-week command of “Dynamite.”

BTS‘ “Butter” glides to a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, two weeks after it launched at the summit, becoming the South Korean superstar group’s fourth leader on the survey.

Plus, Bad Bunny‘s “Yonaguni” debuts at No. 10 on the Hot 100. The song, sung mostly in Spanish, with added lyrics in Japanese, enters as his fourth top 10 and first with no accompanying acts.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated June 19) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (June 15). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“Butter,” released May 21 on HYBE/BigHit Entertainment/Columbia Records, drew 15.4 million U.S. streams, down 19%, and sold 138,400 downloads, down 1%, in the week ending June 10, according to MRC Data. It also attracted 24.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 10%, in the week ending June 13.

The track logs a third week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, drops 10-19 on Streaming Songs and rises 32-28 on Radio Songs.

“Butter” equals BTS’ best Hot 100 command among the act’s four No. 1s, as the group’s first leader, “Dynamite,” spent its first two weeks on the chart at the top spot in September 2020 and returned for a third week in the lead in October. With “Butter,” BTS thus rules the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks for the first time.

Sales for “Butter” in its third week reflect availability for its original and instrumental versions released May 21; a “Hotter” remix released May 28; and “Cooler” and “Sweeter” remixes released June 4, all discounted to 69 cents in all three frames. (Two other versions of “Butter” on sale via BTS’ U.S. webstore, a 7-inch vinyl single, for $7.98, and a cassette single, for $6.98, will count for chart tabulation only once they are shipped to consumers, scheduled for this Friday, June 18.)

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100, three weeks after it debuted at No. 1. It posts a fourth week atop Streaming Songs (42.1 million, down 15%); slips 3-5 on Digital Song Sales (11,100, down 5%); and jumps 35-21 on Radio Songs with 27.8 million impressions, up 38%, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a second week.

“Butter” and “Good 4 U” mark the first set of songs to rank at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks in 2021. The double-up is the greatest since Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” and Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring Drake, lined up in the same respective spots for eight straight weeks in January-March 2020.

Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, and Justin Bieber’s former one-week No. 1 “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, rebounds 6-4. The latter returns for a third week atop both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs, with both multi-metric charts employing the same methodology as the Hot 100.

“Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, descends 4-5 on the Hot 100, after two nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. It adds a ninth week atop Radio Songs (89 million, down 2%).

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” backtracks 5-6 on the Hot 100, after two weeks at No. 1; Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, repeats at No. 7, after reaching No. 5; Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut in the Ocean” lifts 9-8, after hitting No. 6, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a fourth week; and Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” drops 8-9 on the Hot 100, after rising No. 3.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Bad Bunny’s “Yonaguni” bounds onto the chart at No. 10 with 27.3 million streams and 4,800 sold in its first week, ending June 10, following its June 4 release. The single starts at No. 2 on Streaming Songs and No. 18 on Digital Song Sales. It also drew 3.1 million radio audience impressions in the week ending June 13.

The song arrives as Bad Bunny’s fourth Hot 100 top 10, and first with no accompanying artists, with all having debuted in the top 10. “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, began at No. 8 in April 2018 and spent a week at No. 1 that July; “MIA,” featuring Drake, debuted at its No. 5 peak in October 2018; and “Dakíti,” with Jhay Cortez, opened at No. 9 in November 2020 and hit No. 5 in December.

“Yonaguni” concurrently bows at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, as it joins “Dakíti” as the only titles ever to have entered the Hot 100 in the top 10 and Hot Latin Songs at No. 1 simultaneously.

(“Yonaguni” is named after the westernmost island of Japan. While not known for bunnies, it is home to the endangered, but protected, Yonaguni pony.)
