Bieber boasts the most top five hits of any act in 2020.

DaBaby‘s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Plus, Justin Bieber‘s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, jumps from No. 8 to No. 5 on the Hot 100. The song becomes Bieber’s 16th top five hit and Quavo’s third, all tallied in collaborations with Bieber.

Let’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 June 20) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (June 16).

“Rockstar,” released on SouthCoast/Interscope Records, posts a fourth week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 35.7 million U.S. streams (up 3%) in the week ending June 11, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It lifts 4-3 on Digital Song Sales with 12,000 sold (up 10%) in the week ending June 11 and 36-26 on Radio Songs with 26.1 million audience impressions (up 30%) in the week ending June 14, hitting new highs on both charts.

“Rockstar” marks the first Hot 100 No. 1 to notch multiple weeks on top after a run in which five songs each spent a first and lone week at the summit: Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me,” which debuted atop the June 6 chart; Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé (May 30); Grande and Bieber’s “Stuck With U” (May 23); Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj (May 16); and The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts” (May 9).

That streak, now snapped, stands as the longest since six songs each tallied a week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in September-November 1990, before Mariah Carey’s “Love Takes Time” began a three-week reign.

“Rockstar” concurrently rules the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which employ the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100, for a second week each.

Megan Thee Stallion’s former Hot 100 No. 1 “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, holds at No. 2. It scores a second week atop Digital Song Sales (12,000, down 9%) and keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (25.9 million, down 2%) and No. 6 on Radio Songs (53.8 million, up less than 1%).

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” is steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at No. 1. It rules Radio Songs for a 10th week, marking the first of The Weeknd’s four leaders on the list to dominate for double-digit weeks, with 75.2 million in audience (down 1%). The track tallies a 13th week atop the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart.

Doja Cat’s former one-week Hot 100 leader “Say So” holds at No. 4.

Bieber’s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, bounds 8-5 on the Hot 100. It rises 4-3 on Radio Songs (60.6 million, up 5%), 12-10 on Digital Song Sales (7,000, up 7%) and 18-17 on Streaming Songs (13 million, up 2%).

Bieber adds his 16th top five Hot 100 hit and fourth to rank in the region this year, twice the amount of the next closest acts in 2020; Drake, Grande, Lady Gaga, Roddy Ricch and The Weeknd each boast two since January. “Intentions” follows the No. 1 “Stuck With U,” with Grande; “Yummy,” which debuted at its No. 2 peak in January; and Bieber’s Dan + Shay duet “10,000 Hours,” which returned to the region in January after it debuted at its No. 4 high last October.

Plus, dating to Bieber’s first week in the Hot 100’s top five, when “Baby” debuted at its No. 5 peak (Feb. 6, 2010), his 16 top five hits tie Drake’s sum for the most in that span; Bruno Mars and Rihanna follow with 15 each. (In the Hot 100’s nearly 62-year history, The Beatles lead with 29 top five hits, followed by Madonna, with 28, and Carey, with 27.)

Quavo collects his third top five Hot 100 hit, all earned via collaborations with Bieber: DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One,” featuring Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne, led for one week upon its debut in May 2017 and Khaled’s “No Brainer,” featuring Bieber, Quavo and Chance the Rapper, bowed at its No. 5 best in August 2018. Quavo is, of course, also a member of Migos, which has earned one top five hit: the trio’s three-week 2017 No. 1 “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert.

Drake’s “Toosie Slide” is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after spending a week at No. 1, and SAINt JHN’s “Roses” ascends 10-7, hitting a new high. The latter claims top Sales Gainer honors on the Hot 100 (9,000 sold, up 23%) and rebounds for a seventh week atop the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” drops 7-8 on the Hot 100, after peaking at No. 2; Roddy Ricch’s former 11-week leader “The Box” is stationary at No. 9; and Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain on Me” falls 5-10, following its No. 1 launch two weeks ago, but earns the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award for a second week (24.2 million in radio reach, up 38%).

Lil Baby performs at “No Place Like Home” Concert Featuring Future & Lil Baby at Coca Cola Roxy on Jan. 19, 2020 in Atlanta.

Lil Baby’s My Turn returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart after three months, as the set rises from No. 3 with 65,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5 percent) in the U.S. in the week ending June 11, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It’s the second week at No. 1 for the album, following its debut atop the chart dated March 14. The album then spent the next 13 straight weeks lodged in the top six positions of the chart, between the charts dated March 21 and June 13.

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). The new June 20-dated chart (where My Turn comes back to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 16.

With My Turn collecting 65,000 units for the week at No. 1, it tallies the smallest sum for a No. 1 album in over a year. The last time the No. 1 posted a smaller frame was on the June 8, 2019-dated list, when Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? notched its third and final week atop the list, when it rose from No. 3 to No. 1 with 62,000 units.

My Turn climbs back to No. 1 thanks in part to its steady performance since its debut, and because of a lack of big new albums being released on June 5. How sparse was the June 5 release schedule? No albums debut inside the top 40 of the new chart.

My Turn’s 13-week wait to return to No. 1 marks the longest gap between weeks at No. 1 for an album since Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack took a 17-week hiatus from the top slot between its first three weeks at No. 1 (Oct. 20, Oct. 27 and Nov. 3, 2018) and its fourth and final week at No. 1 (March 9, 2019). The album scored its fourth week at No. 1 in the wake of the film’s showcase on the 2019 Academy Awards, where the soundtrack’s Oscar-winning song “Shallow” was performed by Gaga and Cooper.

Back on the new Billboard 200, Lady Gaga’s Chromatica slips from No. 1 to No. 2 in its second week, with 64,000 equivalent album units (down 77 percent from its opener of 274,000).

Two more former No. 1s follow at Nos. 3 and 4, as Gunna’s Wunna rises 4-3 with a little more than 39,000 equivalent album units (down 20 percent) and Future’s High Off Life climbs 5-4 with 39,000 units (down 11  percent).

Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes shifts 6-5 with nearly 39,000 units (down 6 percent). DaBaby’s former chart-topper Blame It on Baby rises 9-6 with 38,500 equivalent album units (down 1 percent), Polo G’s The Goat is steady at No. 7 with 37,000 (down 10 percent) and Post Malone’s former No. 1 Hollywood’s Bleeding rebounds 12-8 with 36,000 units (up 1 percent).

Two previous leaders close out the new top 10, as Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake ascends 13-9 with just over 35,000 equivalent album units (down less than 1 percent) and The Weeknd’s After Hours is up 11-10 with 35,000 units (down 3 percent).

Plus, SAINt JHN hits the top 10 with “Roses.”

DaBaby‘s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, ascends to No. 1, from No. 3, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. DaBaby scores his first Hot 100 leader and Roddy Ricch adds his second.

Plus, SAINt JHN‘s “Roses” rises 14-10 on the Hot 100, marking his first top 10 on the tally.

Let’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 June 13) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (June 9).

“Rockstar,” released on SouthCoast/Interscope Records, is the 1,104th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s nearly 62-year history. The song is from DaBaby’s album Blame It on Baby, which bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated May 2.

The track posts its third week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 34.8 million U.S. streams (down 2%) in the week ending June 4, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It lifts 5-4, reaching a new high, on Digital Song Sales with 11,000 sold (down 10%) in the week ending June 4 and pushes 44-36 on Radio Songs with 20 million audience impressions (up 22%) in the week ending June 7.

Here are other honors attached to the song’s Hot 100 coronation.

Repeat ‘Rockstar’s: Sixteen different compositions that share exact titles have topped the Hot 100, as “Rockstar” joins the club. It follows Post Malone’s “Rockstar” (again, a different composition), featuring 21 Savage, which reigned for eight weeks beginning in October 2017.

Adele had last bookended such a pairing, when her “Hello” began a 10-week command in November 2015, after Lionel Richie’s different ballad titled “Hello” led for two weeks in May 1984.

38’s most special: DaBaby boasts 38 Hot 100 career entries at the time of his first No. 1. He first reached the ranking just over a year ago, when “Suge” entered the chart dated April 13, 2019. The track reached No. 7 last July, marking his first top 10; “Rockstar” graced the top 10 upon its debut at No. 9 six weeks ago, on the May 2 chart.

Nicki Minaj holds the record for the most Hot 100 entries until landing a first leader, as she ruled for the first time on her 109th try.

Roddy Ricch’s first 2 No. 1s in same year: Roddy Ricch, meanwhile, collects his second Hot 100 No. 1, both achieved in 2020: “The Box” dominated for 11 weeks starting in January.

He’s the first artist to notch his first two Hot 100 No. 1s in the same year since Ed Sheeran, whose “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” with Beyoncé, each secured the top spot in 2017.

In the past decade, five other acts each earned their first Hot 100 leader and followed with a second the same year: The Weeknd (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “The Hills,” 2015); Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (“Thrift Shop,” featuring Wanz, “Can’t Hold Us,” featuring Ray Dalton, 2013); Adele (“Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” 2011); Bruno Mars (as featured on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You,” “Just the Way You Are,” 2010); and Kesha (“TiK ToK,” “We R Who We R,” 2010).

6 weeks, 6 new No. 1s: The last six weeks have seen six songs each spend a first week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as “Rockstar” follows Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me,” which debuted atop the June 6 chart; Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé (May 30); Grande and Justin Bieber’s “Stuck With U” (May 23); Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Minaj (May 16); and The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts” (May 9).

As noted last week, the turnover at the top is the most for songs tallying their first weeks at the summit since seven songs each logged their first week each on top over seven weeks from Sept. 29 through Nov. 10, 1990.

Record 6 straight No. 1 collabs: Meanwhile, the last six weeks have featured six collaborations at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as listed above. The run marks a new record streak, surpassing a stretch of five consecutive collaborative leaders:

“Cheap Thrills,” Sia feat. Sean Paul, Aug. 6, 2016, four weeks at No. 1
“Closer,” The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, Sept. 3, 2016, 12
“Black Beatles,” Rae Sremmurd feat. Gucci Mane, Nov. 26, 2016, seven
“Starboy,” The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk, Jan. 7, 2017, one
“Bad and Boujee,” Migos feat. Lil Uzi Vert, Jan. 21, 2017, three

In a case of chart whiplash, the current streak follows 35 straight weeks of leaders by only singularly-billed acts, the longest such run in over two decades.

Interscope x 2: Interscope scores its second consecutive Hot 100 No. 1, as “Rockstar” supplants Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain on Me.” The label banks back-to-back leaders for the first time since 2009, when it tallied three in a row, also thanks in part to Gaga: Her “Poker Face” (one week at No. 1) and The Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” (12) and “I Gotta Feeling” (14), from that April 11 through Oct. 10.

No. 1 R&B/hip-hop & rap: “Rockstar” concurrently hits the top of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which employ the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100. DaBaby earns his first leader on each list and Roddy Ricch scores his second, after “The Box.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100 after it led the May 30-dated chart. It rebounds for a second week atop Digital Song Sales (3-1; 14,000, down 18%), rises 3-2 on Streaming Songs (26.4 million, down 10%) and repeats at No. 6 on Radio Songs (53.6 million, up 2%).

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” rises 4-3 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at No. 1. It rules Radio Songs for a ninth week, with 76.3 million in audience (down 1%), and adds a 12th week atop the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart.

Doja Cat’s former one-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Say So” lifts 5-4 and Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain on Me” falls from No. 1 to No. 5 in its second week on the chart, as it dips 2-3 on Streaming Songs (20 million, down 36%) and tumbles from No. 1 to No. 11 on Digital Song Sales (6,000, down 91%), while debuting at No. 41 on Radio Songs (17.6 million, up 59%). “Rain” rules the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a second frame.

Drake’s “Toosie Slide” is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after spending a week at No. 1; Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” holds at No. 7, after peaking at No. 2; Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, climbs 9-8, returning to its high; and Roddy Ricch’s former 11-week leader “The Box” drops 8-9.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, SAINt JHN’s “Roses” jumps 14-10, marking his first top 10 on the chart. It returns to the Streaming Songs top 10 at a new best rank (14-9; 16.7 million, up 15%), while also reaching new highs on Digital Song Sales (9-7; 8,000, down 4%) and Radio Songs (25-22; 26.8 million, up 10%).

SAINt JHN first released “Roses” in July 2016. Imanbek’s remix arrived last September, spurring the song’s global chart surge. The track led the Official UK Singles chart for two weeks beginning in March and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for six weeks starting in April. The song was released on the Hitco Entertainment label, which achieves its first Hot 100 top 10.

Plus: Jimmy Buffett, Anuel AA and Run the Jewels debut in top 10.

Lady Gaga notches her sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with the chart-topping debut of Chromatica. The set starts with 274,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending June 4, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data — the biggest week for any album by a woman in 2020.

Chromatica was released on May 29 via Interscope Records. The set was led by the singles “Stupid Love” and “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande. The former debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, while the latter opened at No. 1 on the June 6 chart.

Chromatica was originally slated for an April 10 release, but was delayed due to COVID-19 concerns.Lady Gaga previously hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the A Star Is Born soundtrack (with Bradley Cooper, in 2018 and 2019), Joanne (2016), Cheek to Cheek (with Tony Bennett, 2014), Artpop (2013) and Born This Way (2011).

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). The new June 13-dated chart (where Chromatica starts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 9.

Of Chromatica’s starting sum of 274,000 equivalent album units, album sales comprise 205,000, SEA units total 65,000 (equating to 87.16 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks in the week ending June 4) and TEA units equal a little more than 4,000.

Here’s a look at some notable achievements earned by the debut of Chromatica at No. 1:

Fifth Biggest Week of 2020, Largest for an Album By a Woman: Chromatica’s start of 274,000 equivalent album units earned marks the fifth-largest week for any album in 2020 and the biggest for an album by a woman. The only larger weeks posted in 2020 were from the debut frames of The Weeknd’s After Hours (444,000), BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 (422,000), Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake (288,000) and Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By (279,000).

The last larger week for an album by a woman was racked up by Taylor Swift’s Lover, which blasted in at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 7, 2019, with 867,000 units.

Album sales comprise 75 percent of Chromatica’s overall debut frame (205,000 of 274,000). The set’s sales were bolstered by dozens of merchandise/album bundles sold via her official webstore, and a concert ticket/album sale offer with her three upcoming U.S. stadium shows scheduled for August. In addition, the album sold well via traditional retail, including the iTunes Store, Amazon and Target. The latter carried an exclusive deluxe CD edition of the album with bonus tracks.

Strong Streams: Chromatica’s bow with 65,000 SEA units equates to 87.16 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks in the week ending June 4. That’s the biggest streaming week for any non-R&B/hip-hop or Latin album in 2020.

The largest streaming week of 2020 for any album is owned by Lil Uzi Vert’s hip-hop set Eternal Atake, which bowed at No. 1 on March 21 with 400.4 million clicks.

For comparison among non-R&B/hip-hop or Latin albums, here are the next-biggest streaming weeks of 2020 after Chromatica’s start with 87.16 million: Selena Gomez’s Rare (debut, 79.3 million; Jan. 25), Halsey’s Manic (debut, 75.6 million; Feb. 1) and BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 (debut, 74.8 million; March 7).

The last album outside of the R&B/hip-hop or Latin genres to manage a bigger streaming week than Chromatica was Harry Styles’ Fine Line, which started at No. 1 with 108.7 million clicks (Dec. 28, 2019-dated chart).

The last non-R&B/hip-hop or Latin album by a woman to collect a bigger streaming week than Chromatica was Taylor Swift’s Lover, with 117.4 million in its second week on the list (Sept. 14, 2019).

Six No. 1 Albums in Only Nine Years: Lady Gaga has tallied six No. 1s on the Billboard 200 chart in just nine years and two days — the fastest a woman has claimed six No. 1 albums. Lady Gaga logged her first No. 1 with Born This Way, when it debuted atop the list dated Jun 11, 2011.

Previously, Taylor Swift achieved six No. 1s the fastest, among women, when Lover opened at No. 1 on Sept. 7, 2019 — just 10 years and nine months after her first No. 1, Fearless, topped the list (Nov. 29, 2008).

Among men or groups, there are acts that have scores their first six No. 1s in quicker time than Gaga — The Beatles, Justin Bieber, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Drake, Future, Jay-Z, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley and Kanye West.

One of Just Eight Women With at Least Six No. 1 Albums: Lady Gaga joins an elite club of just eight women who have landed six No. 1 albums. She’s now tied with Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift, all with six each. Ahead of them: Barbra Streisand, with the most of any woman, 11; Madonna, with nine; and Janet Jackson, with seven.

Among all artists, The Beatles continue to hold the record for the most No. 1s, with 19 leaders.

Only Two Women Have Had a No. 1 Album in 2020: So far this year, just two women have led the Billboard 200 — Lady Gaga with Chromatica and Selena Gomez with Rare. The latter opened atop the list on Jan. 25.

In total, of the 18 No. 1 albums in 2020 — which include two carryover No. 1s from 2019 — 14 are by solo men, two are by male groups (BTS and Jackboys) and two are by women.

At this point a year ago, there were 17 No. 1s — with one carryover from 2018. Of those 17, four were either by a solo woman, or co-credited to a woman and a man (Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born soundtrack). The other 13 leaders at this point a year ago consisted of three No. 1s by male groups (Backstreet Boys, BTS and Vampire Weekend) and 10 by solo men.

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Jimmy Buffett lands his highest-charting album in over 15 years, as Life on the Flip Side starts with 75,000 equivalent album units earned (with 74,000 of that sum in album sales). The last time the veteran singer-songwriter (and Margaritaville brand boss) was higher on the list was in 2004, when License to Chill became his first No. 1 when it opened atop the chart dated July 31, 2004.

Life on the Flip Side is Buffett’s 40th charting album on the Billboard 200. He first visited the list in 1974 with Living and Dying in 3/4 Time, which arrived on the March 2 chart, on its way to a No. 176 peak on March 30. In total, Life On the Flip Side is Buffett’s 22nd top 40 album, and 12th top 10.

Life on the Flip Side is Buffett’s first non-holiday studio album since Songs From St. Somewhere, which hit No. 4 in 2013.

The new album’s sales were helped by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with a slate of upcoming Buffett shows. The bundle offer was originally attached to a string of dates that were meant to run from May 16 through Oct. 15, 2020. Some of those shows were ultimately canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, while the remaining shows were postponed and rescheduled to July 10 through Sept. 2, 2021. Only the postponed and rescheduled shows are part of the ticket bundle offer which contributes to the chart total.

With Gaga and Buffett at Nos. 1 and 2, it’s the first time since the Jan. 4-date chart that the top two titles are both non-R&B/hip-hop titles. On the Jan. 4-dated chart, Harry Styles’ Fine Line was No. 1, while Michael Bublé’s Christmas was No. 2.

A trio of former No. 1s come in at Nos. 3-5 on the new Billboard 200, as Lil Baby’s My Turn falls from No. 2 to No. 3 (62,000 equivalent album units; down 4 percent), Gunna’s Wunna drops from No. 1 to No. 4 in its second week (49,000; down 56 percent) and Future’s High Off Life dips from No. 3 to No. 5 (44,000; down 27 percent).

Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes is steady at No. 6 (41,000; down 14 percent) and Polo G’s The Goat falls 5-7 (40,000; down 22 percent).

Anuel AA claims his first top 10 album on the all-genre Billboard 200, as Emmanuel debuts at No. 8 with 39,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 36,000 are in SEA units, equating to 55.8 million on-demand streams for the album’s songs.

The set is the Latin album to reach the Billboard 200’s top 10 in 2020, following a pair of Bad Bunny efforts (YHLQMDLG, No. 2 and Las Que No Iban a Salir, No. 7).

Emmanuel is Anuel AA’s second studio album. His first, Real Hasta La Muerte, peaked at No. 44 in 2018. It also spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart, and finished as one of the top 10 biggest Latin albums of 2018 and 2019 on Billboard’s year-end charts.

DaBaby’s former No. 1 Blame It on Baby falls from No. 7 to No. 9 on the new Billboard 200 with just under 39,000 equivalent album units (down 8 percent).

Closing out the new top 10 on the Billboard 200 is Run the Jewels’ RTJ4, bowing at No. 10 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (with 30,000 of that in album sales). It’s the first top 10 for the rap duo, which previously notched two charting sets, Run the Jewels 3 (No. 13 in 2017) and Run the Jewels 2 (No. 50 in 2014).

RTJ4 was released early via digital retailers and streamers on Wednesday, June 3 — instead of on June 5 (a Friday, traditionally the day in which albums are released each week). The album’s sales also benefit from an array of merchandise/album bundles sold via the act’s official webstore.

In addition, the album was available as a free download via the act’s website, alongside an appeal for donations to the Mass Defense Program. None of those free downloads were reported to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

The song sparks Hot 100 history for both superstars.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande‘s new duet “Rain on Me” storms onto the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart at No. 1. Gaga achieves her fifth Hot 100 leader and Grande earns her fourth, among other honors for each star.

The duet was released to digital service providers for streaming and purchase at midnight EST Friday, May 22, while its official video premiered that afternoon. The song is the second single from Gaga’s album Chromatica, which arrived Friday, May 29; first single “Stupid Love” debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 in March.

Here is a rundown of the top 10 of the newest Hot 100, which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales data.

“Rain” is the 1,103rd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s nearly 62-year history, and the 39th to debut in the top spot.

Here is a more in-depth look at the song’s Hot 100 coronation.

No. 1 in sales: “Rain” rockets onto the Digital Song Sales chart with 72,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 28.

The song was on sale in four physical/digital combination offerings during the tracking week. Consumers could purchase cassette, CD and vinyl singles, each with a digital download; the download would be sent to consumers upon purchase, with physical versions due to arrive at a later date.

Lady Gaga earns her eighth Digital Song Sales No. 1 and Grande adds her seventh.

“Rain” launches at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 31.4 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 28 and drew 11.1 million audience impressions in the week ending May 31.

Gaga’s 5th No. 1; record span of No. 1 debuts: Here’s a recap of Lady Gaga’s five Hot 100 No. 1s:

Title, Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Just Dance,” feat. Colby O’Donis, three, Jan. 17, 2009
“Poker Face,” one, April 11, 2009
“Born This Way,” six, Feb. 26, 2011
“Shallow,” with Bradley Cooper, one, March 9, 2019
“Rain on Me,” with Ariana Grande, one (to date), June 6, 2020

Gaga makes her second chart-topping entrance on the Hot 100, following the No. 1 arrival of “Born This Way,” and claims the mark for the longest span of No. 1 debuts: nine years, three months and one week. (Justin Bieber previously held the mark, with such a span stretching four years and five months.)

Grande’s 4th No. 1; record 4th No. 1 debut: And, here are Grande’s four Hot 100 No. 1s:

Title, Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Thank U Next,” seven, Nov. 17, 2018
“7 Rings,” eight, Feb. 2, 2019
“Stuck With U,” with Justin Bieber, one, May 23, 2020
“Rain on Me,” with Lady Gaga, one (to date), June 6, 2020

Grande makes history as the first artist with four Hot 100 No. 1 debuts, as her first three leaders also all opened atop the tally. She passes Bieber, Mariah Carey and Drake, each with three No. 1 debuts.

Record-tying 4 No. 1 debuts in 2020: This year equals 1995 and 2018 for the most Hot 100 No. 1 debuts in a single year: four apiece.

The arrival of Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain” follows Grande and Bieber’s “Stuck With U” (May 23); The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts” (May 9); and Drake’s “Toosie Slide” (April 18).

Gaga No. 1 in the ’00s, ’10s and 20s: Lady Gaga is the third soloist to have topped the Hot 100 in the 2000s, ’10s and ’20s, following Carey, who, with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in January, became the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 in four distinct decades (1990s, 2000s, ’10s and ’20s), and Beyoncé, who a week ago joined the exclusive three-decade club thanks to her featured turn on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” which jumped 5-1.

Women continue to rule: Lady Gaga and Grande combine for the seventh Hot 100 No. 1 credited to two or more women (and no other billed acts), and the third in four weeks. Prior to the latest three such leaders, five such songs had led over nearly 40-and-a-half years.

Notably, as “Rain on Me” dethrones Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, a song by multiple solo women supplants another atop the Hot 100 for the first time in the chart’s history.

Here’s an updated list of every Hot 100 No. 1 exclusively by multiple women soloists:

Title, Artists, Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Rain on Me,” Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, one (to date), June 6, 2020
“Savage,” Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, one, May 30, 2020
“Say So,” Doja Cat feat. Nicki Minaj, one, May 16, 2020
“Fancy,” Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX, seven, June 7, 2014
“S&M,” Rihanna feat. Britney Spears, one week, April 30, 2011
“Lady Marmalade,” Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya & P!nk, five, June 2, 2001
“The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy & Monica, 13, June 6, 1998
“No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),” Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer, two, Nov. 24, 1979

5 weeks, 5 new No. 1s: The last five weeks have seen five songs each spend a first week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain” follows Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé (May 30); Grande and Bieber’s “Stuck With U” (May 23); Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj (May 16); and The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts” (May 9).

The turnover at the top is the most for songs tallying their first weeks at No. 1 in nearly 30 years, and the most since Nielsen Music/MRC Data figures began fueling the chart in November 1991.

The current run of five new No. 1s in five weeks is the first since these seven songs each logged their first week each on top over seven weeks in 1990:

Sept. 29, 1990, “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection,” Nelson
Oct. 6, 1990, “Close to You,” Maxi Priest
Oct. 13, 1990, “Praying for Time,” George Michael
Oct. 20, 1990, “I Don’t Have the Heart,” James Ingram
Oct. 27, 1990,” Black Cat,” Janet Jackson
Nov. 3, 1990, “Ice Ice Baby,” Vanilla Ice
Nov. 10, 1990, “Love Takes Time,” Mariah Carey

In addition to its chat-topping Hot 100 start, Lady Gaga and Grande’s “Rain” hits No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, which employs the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, drops to No. 2 on the Hot 100 after it crowned the May 30-dated chart. It spends a second week at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and a third frame atop Hot Rap Songs.

DaBaby’s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, reaches a new Hot 100 high, rising 4-3, as it posts a second week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (35.5 million streams, up 4%).

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” slips 3-4 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at the summit. It tops Radio Songs for an eighth week, with 77.4 million in audience, and returns for an 11th total week at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart.

Doja Cat’s “Say So” drops 2-5 on the Hot 100 and Drake’s “Toosie Slide” descends 5-6, each after spending a week at No. 1.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” rises 8-7, after peaking at No. 2; Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” slides 7-8, after 11 weeks at No. 1; Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, holds at No. 9, after reaching No. 8; and Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring Drake, falls 6-10, after peaking at No. 2 for eight weeks.

Plus: The 1975 land third top 10 album with “Notes on a Conditional Form.”

Gunna grabs his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his latest release, Wunna, debuts atop the tally.

The set, which was released via Young Stoner Life/300 on May 22, launches with 111,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 28, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

Of Wunna’s first-week units, nearly all are from streaming activity.

Elsewhere in the new top 10, The 1975’s Notes on a Conditional Form enters at No. 4, marking the band’s third top 10 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. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new June 6-dated chart (where Wunna bows at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 2.

Of Wunna’s starting sum of 110,000 equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 106,000 (equating to 143.6 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks in the week ending May 28), album sales total 4,000 and TEA units equal less than 1,000. Gunna ranked as high as No. 3 with his last release, Drip or Drown 2, when it debuted on the March 9, 2019-dated list with 90,000 units earned. The rapper clocked one prior top 10 with Drip Harder, his collaborative set with Lil Baby, which reached No. 4 on the Oct. 20, 2018, chart.

Speaking of Lil Baby, his latest album, My Turn, rises one spot to No. 2 on the new Billboard 200. The former No. 1 tallied 65,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week, down less than 1%. Future’s High Off Life falls from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week, with 61,000 units (down 60%).

The 1975’s Notes on a Conditional Form debuts at No. 4 with 54,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 39,000 are from album sales. It’s the third top 10 album for the band, which previously visited the region with A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (No. 4 in 2018) and I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It (No. 1 in 2016).

Polo G’s The Goat slips from No. 2 to No. 5 in its second frame, earning 52,000 equivalent album units (down 48%), while Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes descends from No. 4 to No. 6 with 48,000 units (down 17%).

Four former No. 1s round out the top 10: DaBaby’s Blame It on Baby falls 5-7 with 42,000 units (down 3%), The Weeknd’s After Hours shifts 7-8 with 40,000 units (up 6%), Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake dips 6-9 with 37,000 units (down 4%) and Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding moves 8-10 with just under 37,000 units (down 1%).

The song jumps from No. 5, besting its prior No. 2 high.

Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, bounds from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The track, which previously reached a No. 2 high after the arrival of its Beyoncé remix, becomes Megan Thee Stallion’s first Hot 100 leader and Beyoncé’s seventh.

Plus, DaBaby‘s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, reaches the Hot 100’s top five, rising 8-4, and hits No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart.

Let’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 May 30) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (May 27).

“Savage,” released on 1501 Certified/300 Entertainment, is the 1,102nd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 61-year history.

Here’s a deeper look at the song’s Hot 100 coronation.

No. 1 in sales: “Savage” concurrently climbs 4-1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, up 55% to 30,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 21, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, good for the Hot 100’s top Sales Gainer award.

The song was on sale in a variety of physical/digital combination offerings during the tracking week, including autographed CD and vinyl copies put up for purchase in Megan Thee Stallion’s webstore beginning May 15. Consumers could purchase CD and vinyl singles, each with a digital download; the download would be sent to consumers upon purchase, with physical versions due to arrive at a later date.

Megan Thee Stallion earns her first Digital Song Sales No. 1, while Beyoncé adds her eighth (the eighth-best total in the chart’s archives).

“Savage” holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 30.5 million U.S. streams, down 8%, in the week ending May 21. The track led the list dated May 16, after its Beyoncé remix arrived April 29; contributing to its latest weekly total, a new animated video for the song premiered May 21.

The track rises 11-8 on the Radio Songs chart with 53.7 million audience impressions in the week ending May 24, becoming Megan Thee Stallion’s first top 10 and Beyoncé’s 18th (breaking her out of a seven-way tie for the fifth-most top 10s in the chart’s history).

Beyoncé No. 1 in the ’00s, ’10s & ‘20s: Beyoncé is the second artist to have topped the Hot 100 in the 2000s, ’10s and ’20s, following Mariah Carey, who, with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in January, became the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 in four distinct decades (1990s, 2000s, ’10s and ’20s).

Beyoncé becomes the 21st artist with at least seven Hot 100 No. 1s. Here is a recap of her leaders:

Title, Date Reached No. 1
“Crazy in Love,” feat. Jay-Z, July 12, 2003
“Baby Boy,” feat. Sean Paul, Oct. 4, 2003
“Check On It,” feat. Slim Thug, Feb. 4, 2006
“Irreplaceable,” Dec. 16, 2006
“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Dec. 13, 2008
“Perfect,” Ed Sheeran feat. Beyoncé, Dec. 23, 2017
“Savage,” Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, May 30, 2020

Of course, Beyoncé also appeared at No. 1 on the Hot 100 as a member of Destiny’s Child, which notched four leaders in 1999-2001: “Bills, Bills, Bills” (1999); “Say My Name” (2000); “Independent Women Part I” (2000); and “Bootylicious” (2001).

Looking at both group and solo chart appearances, Beyoncé is the only act other than Carey to have ranked at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in four separate decades.

Women rule, again: Megan Thee Stallion (born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete) and Beyoncé combine for the seventh Hot 100 No. 1 credited to two or more women (and no other billed acts), and the second in three weeks, after Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj. Notably, 2020 is the first year with two such leaders.

Here’s an updated list of every Hot 100 No. 1 exclusively by multiple women soloists:

Title, Artists, Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Savage,” Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, one (to date), May 30, 2020
“Say So,” Doja Cat feat. Nicki Minaj, one, May 16, 2020
“Fancy,” Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX, seven, June 7, 2014
“S&M,” Rihanna feat. Britney Spears, one week, April 30, 2011
“Lady Marmalade,” Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya & P!nk, five, June 2, 2001
“The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy & Monica, 13, June 6, 1998
“No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),” Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer, two, Nov. 24, 1979

4 weeks, 4 new No. 1s: The last four weeks have seen four songs each spend a first week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as “Savage” follows Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s “Stuck With U,” which debuted atop the May 23-dated chart (and this week drops to No. 13); Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Minaj (6-1, May 16); and The Scotts, Travis Scott & Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts” (No. 1 debut, May 9).

The turnover at the top is the most for songs tallying their first weeks at No. 1 in three years (and the last likewise four-week run also found Bieber on top, with two songs). In May 2017, these four titles hit No. 1 over four weeks: Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble.” (May 6); Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” (May 13); DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One,” featuring Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne (May 20); and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Bieber (May 27).

Hot 300: “Savage” is the second Hot 100 No. 1 for 300 Entertainment. The label first led via Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, for three weeks beginning in January 2017.

“Savage” at the summit: The word “savage” appears in a Hot 100-topping song title for the first time, although two artists with “savage” in their names have reigned. Rapper 21 Savage led in 2017 as featured on Post Malone’s “Rockstar,” after pop duo Savage Garden ruled with two ballads, “Truly Madly Deeply” in 1998 and “I Knew I Loved You” in 1999.

No. 1 Hip-Hop, Rap: “Savage” hits No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and returns for a second week atop Hot Rap Songs, both of which employ the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100.

Megan Thee Stallion scores her first Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1 and Beyoncé banks her ninth, and first since “7/11” in December 2014.

Doja Cat’s “Say So” holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100. It likewise keeps at No. 2 on Radio Songs (78.1 million); falls 2-5 on Digital Song Sales (16,000, down 43%); and is steady at No. 5 on Streaming Songs (24.3 million, down 7%). “Say So” spends a third week at No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs.

(After two weeks of Minaj showing as a featured artist on “Say So” on the Hot 100 and other charts that utilize the same methodology, only Doja Cat is now listed, as the original version, without Minaj, is now driving the majority of overall activity for the song; the change does not affect any of Minaj’s achievements on those charts the past two weeks, and she continues not to be credited on the song on any airplay charts, as the vast majority of the song’s airplay is still for the original version.)

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” rebounds 4-3 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at the summit. It tops Radio Songs for a seventh week, with 89 million in audience.

DaBaby’s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, enters the Hot 100’s top five, charging 8-4, and hits No. 1 on Streaming Songs with an 8% gain to 34.3 million streams. It dips 6-10 on Digital Song Sales, although with a 12% gain to 12,000 sold, while sporting 13.5 million in radio reach.

DaBaby earns his first top five Hot 100 hit, among two top 10s, and bests his prior No. 7 high, set by his debut entry “Suge” last July. He achieves his first Streaming Songs No. 1.

Roddy Ricch adds his second top five Hot 100 hit and second Streaming Songs leader, after “The Box” topped the former chart for 11 weeks and the latter for 13 frames.

Drake’s “Toosie Slide” rises 6-5 on the Hot 100, following its one-week reign, and Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring Drake, returns to the top 10 (13-6), after peaking at No. 2 for eight weeks. The latter vaults 10-3 on Streaming Songs (28.4 million, up 33%), and wins the Hot 100’s top Streaming Gainer award, as Future’s new album, High Off Life (on which the song is included), launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” repeats at No. 7; Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” lifts 9-8, after peaking at No. 2; Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” featuring Quavo, climbs 11-9, after reaching No. 8; and Post Malone’s “Circles” holds at No. 10, following its three-week command, as it logs a record-extending 38th week in the top 10.

Plus: Polo G’s “The Goat” debuts at No. 2, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit’s “Reunions” surges into top 10 after wide release.

Future flies in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with his seventh chart-topper, as High Off Life enters at No. 1. The album, which was released via Freebandz/Epic Records on May 15, earned 153,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending May 21, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data — Future’s biggest week, in terms of units, for a solo album.

Of High Off Life’s first-week units, 16,000 are in album sales, while nearly all of the remaining units are from streaming activity.

Also in the new top 10: Polo G’s The Goat bows at No. 2 with 99,000 units, and Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit’s Reunions jumps from No. 149 to No. 9 after its first week of wide release.

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). The new May 30-dated chart (where High Off Life debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 27 (one day later than usual, owed to the Memorial Day holiday on May 25 in the U.S.).

Of High Off Life’s starting sum of 153,000 equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 134,000 (equating to 186.3 million on-demand streams of the set’s 21 tracks in the week ending May 21), album sales total 16,000 and TEA units equal a little more than 2,000. Most of the album’s 16,000 in sales are from 17 merchandise/album bundles and two signed physical format/digital album configurations sold through Future’s official webstore.

High Off Life’s overall start of 153,000 units also marks the rapper’s biggest week in terms of units earned, for a solo album, surpassing the 151,000-unit launch of DS2 in August 2015 at No. 1. (Future has logged one larger week, by way of his joint album with Drake, What a Time to Be Alive, which bowed at No. 1 with 376,000 in October of 2015.)

Prior to the latest Billboard 200, Future hit No. 1 with Future HNDRXX Presents: The WIZRD (in 2019), HNDRXX, a self-titled album (both in 2017), Evol (2016), What a Time to Be Alive and DS2 (both in 2015).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Polo G logs his highest charting album and best week in terms of units earned, as The Goat debuts with 99,000 equivalent album units earned. The Goat beats Polo G’s previous high, when his only other charting effort, Die a Legend, debuted and peaked at No. 6 in June 2019 with 38,000 units earned in its first week.

The Goat’s start of 99,000 units is driven by 85,000 SEA units (totaling 129.4 million in on-demand streams of the set’s songs), 14,000 in album sales, and less than 1,000 in TEA units. Like Future’s new album, The Goat also sees most of its 14,000 in album sales derived from merchandise/album bundles (22 in total) and two signed physical format/digital album configurations available via Polo G’s official webstore.

Lil Baby’s former No. 1 My Turn climbs one spot to No. 3 on the new Billboard 200, with 65,000 equivalent album units earned (down 11%), Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes dips from No. 3 to No. 4 with 58,000 units (down 27%) and DaBaby’s former chart-topper Blame It On Baby rises 6-5 with 44,000 units (down 3%).

Three former leaders are up next on the chart, as Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake ascends 8-6 with 39,000 units (down 6%), The Weeknd’s After Hours lifts 9-7 with 38,000 units (down 6%) and Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding rises 10-9 with 37,000 units (up 2%).

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit’s Reunions rushes to the top 10, as the album vaults from No. 149 to No. 9 in its second chart week — and after its first week of wide availability. The set earned 35,000 equivalent album units — up 388%. A week ago, the album arrived on the list with 7,000 units, all from CD and vinyl album sales, after the album was released a week early on May 8 to independent music stores. The set jumps into the top 10 after going wide to all retailers, and reaching streaming services.

Reunions is the third top 10 for singer-songwriter Isbell, who previously visited the region with The Nashville Sound (with The 400 Unit, No. 4 in 2017) and Something More Than Free (No. 6 in 2015).

Closing out the new top 10 is NAV’s Good Intentions, which falls from No. 1 to No. 10 in its second week, with just under 35,000 equivalent album units (down 74%).

Plus, 6ix9ine’s “Gooba” bows at No. 3 and crowns the Streaming Songs chart.

Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber‘s “Stuck With U” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The duet launches as Grande’s third Hot 100 leader and Bieber’s sixth, and their first together.

Notably, Grande and Bieber each make their third debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100, joining Mariah Carey and Drake as the only artists with that many starts at the summit.

Plus, 6ix9ine’s “Gooba” enters the Hot 100 at No. 3, marking his second top 10 and tying his best placement. The track also opens atop the Streaming Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, beginning as the rapper’s first No. 1 on each ranking.

Let’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 May 23) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (May 19).

“Stuck With U,” released at midnight ET on May 8 on Silent/Raymond Braun/SchoolBoy/Republic/Def Jam, begins as the 1,101st No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 61-year history, and the 38th to debut at the summit.

“We just wanted to make something fun that also helps and makes people feel, I think, less alone, or be hopefully somewhat uplifting,” Grande told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe May 13 of the song, whose streams and sales partially benefit the First Responders Children’s Fund amid the coronavirus pandemic. “I think it’s also a really, literally, isolating time for people mentally. So, we wanted to put music out, because music is the thing that makes people feel good. It’s the thing that speaks most to people’s spirits and we just wanted to lift them.”

Here’s a deeper look at the song’s arrival atop the Hot 100.

No. 1 in sales: “Stuck With U” starts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 108,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 14, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

The song was on sale in a variety of physical/digital combination offerings during the tracking week, including copies autographed by Grande and Bieber. Consumers could purchase cassette, CD and vinyl singles, each with a digital download; the download would be sent to consumers upon purchase, with physical versions due to arrive at a later date.

The track is the first to crack the 100,000-sold barrier in a single week in over a year, since Taylor Swift’s “Me!,” featuring Brendon Urie, soared in with 193,000 (May 11, 2019), also enhanced by a physical/digital retail model.

Grande earns her sixth Digital Song Sales No. 1, while Bieber adds his 12th. He passes Drake (11) for the most among male artists and claims a solo share of the third-best sum among all acts, after Swift (19) and Rihanna (14).

Top 5 in streaming, Airplay building: “Stuck With U” opens at No. 4 on Streaming Songs with 28.1 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 14.

The track bounds 43-33 on the Radio Songs chart with 26.3 million audience impressions in the week ending May 17, following its first full week of availability. Among format-specific airplay charts, It jumps 25-19 on Adult Pop Songs and 28-23 on Pop Songs and debuts at No. 28 on Adult Contemporary and No. 38 on Rhythmic Songs.

Grande’s third Hot 100 No. 1, Bieber’s sixth: Grande previously topped the Hot  100 with the first two singles from her 2019 album Thank U Next: the title track, for seven weeks beginning in November 2018, and “7 Rings,” for eight weeks starting in February 2019.

Bieber made his first five trips to No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2015-17, with “What Do You Mean?” (one week, September 2015); “Sorry” (three weeks, January-February 2016); “Love Yourself” (two weeks, February 2016); as featured, with Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne, on DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One” (one week, May 2017); and as featured on Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (16 weeks, May-September 2017).

Bieber becomes the 25th artist in the Hot 100’s history with at least six No. 1s.

Third No. 1 debut each: Grande and Bieber debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a third time each, joining Mariah Carey and Drake as the only artists with that many chart-topping starts. Grande, meanwhile, is the only artist to date whose first three leaders have all entered at No. 1, as “Stuck With U” follows “Thank U Next” and “7 Rings” in having premiered at the pinnacle.

Bieber previously began at No. 1 with “What Do You Mean?” and “I’m the One.”

Carey achieved her three No. 1 bows in 1995-97, while Drake added his third, “Toosie Slide,” on the April 20-dated chart.

“Stuck” together: “Stuck With U” is the third female-male duet (with both billed as lead artists) to top the Hot 100 in just over a year, following Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Señorita,” which led the Aug. 31, 2019-dated list, and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow” (March 9, 2019). Plus, Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect,” with Beyoncé, hit No. 1 in December 2017, powered by its duet remix. Prior to “Perfect,” only two female-male No. 1s (with both acts as leads) had led since the start of the 2000s — both involving Alicia Keys).

Braun’s first No. 1 as a writer: Grande and Bieber co-wrote “Stuck With U” with Freddy Wexler, Gian Michael Stone, Skyler Stonestreet, Whitney Phillips and Scott “Scooter” Braun; Stone solely produced the song.

Grande and Bieber have co-penned each of their respective three and six Hot 100 No. 1s. Stone, meanwhile, scores his second No. 1 as a co-writer, following Maroon 5’s seven-week 2018 leader “Girls Like You,” featuring Cardi B. “Stuck With U” is Stone’s first No. 1 as a producer.

Wexler, Stonestreet and Phillips each achieve their first Hot 100 No. 1 as writers, as does Braun, who is, of course, more famously known as Grande and Bieber’s (and other artists’) manager, among other entrepreneurial endeavors. He boasts one other co-writing credit on the Hot 100: the title cut of Bieber’s album Purpose reached No. 43 in December 2015.

More News: “Stuck With U” is the third Hot 100 No. 1 with “stuck” in its title, following Elvis Presley’s “Stuck on You,” with The Jordanaires (four weeks, April-May 1960), and Huey Lewis & The News’ “Stuck With You” (three weeks, September-October 1986).

“Stuck With U” and “Stuck With You” mark the second pair of Hot 100 No. 1s that share a song title but with slightly different spellings. Color Me Badd’s “All 4 Love” led for a week in January 1992, while Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting’s “All for Love” ruled for three weeks in January-February 1994.

A week after soaring from No. 6 to No. 1 on the Hot 100, Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj, drops to No. 2. It also falls to No. 2 after a week atop Digital Song Sales (29,000, down 57%); holds at No. 2 on Radio Songs (100.7 million, up 6%); and slips 4-5 on Streaming Songs (26.2 million, down 14%).

“Say So” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and on Hot R&B Songs charts, both of which employ the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100.

6ix9ine’s “Gooba” enters the Hot 100 at No. 3, as it launches as his first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart with 55.3 million U.S. streams, following its May 8 release. The song is just the third non-holiday title to reach that weekly streaming level this year, following Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” and Drake’s “Toosie Slide.”

“Gooba” starts at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales with 24,000 sold (and was available on May 14 in a CD/download combination). It also drew 172,000 in radio reach in the tracking week.

The rapper adds his second Hot 100 top 10 and ties best career rank. “FEFE,” featuring Minaj and Murda Beatz, reached No. 3 in August 2018. “Gooba” concurrently crowns the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart upon its debut, marking 6ix9ine’s first No. 1 on the ranking.

As for “Stuck With U” and “Gooba” entering the Hot 100 simultaneously, the chart boasts two debuts in the top three in the same week for the first time in four-and-a-half years, since Adele’s “Hello” and Bieber’s “Sorry” started at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on Nov. 14, 2015.

The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” descends 3-4 on the Hot 100, after four weeks on top. It rules Radio Songs for a sixth week, with 114.6 million audience impressions, essentially even week-over-week. It also becomes his first No. 1 on the Adult Pop Songs airplay survey.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé, retreats to No. 5 on the Hot 100 a week after rising to its No. 2 high, while claiming top Airplay Gainer honors (61.7 million, up 21%) for a third consecutive week.

Drake’s “Toosie Slide” descends 4-6 on the Hot 100, following its one-week reign; Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” drops 5-7, after it dominated for 11 weeks; and DaBaby’s “Rockstar,” featuring Ricch, hits a new high at No. 8, lifting from No. 9, while winning the top Streaming Gainer nod (31.7 million, up 12%).

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” falls 6-9, after peaking at No. 2, and Post Malone’s “Circles” backtracks 8-10, following its three-week rule, as it logs a record-extending 37th week in the top 10.

Plus: Kehlani scores highest charting album yet, Lil Durk debuts in top five, and Bad Bunny’s surprise album starts in top 10.

NAV nabs his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as Good Intentions starts atop the tally. The album was released on May 8 via XO/Republic Records, and earned 135,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 14, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Of its total starting unit sum, album sales comprise over half of that figure — 73,000, with nearly all of the sales driven by merchandise/album bundles sold via NAV’s official webstore.

Also making news in the top 10: Kehlani tallies her highest charting and best week ever in units earned, as It Was Good Until It Wasn’t starts at No. 2 (83,000 units), Lil Durk’s Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 debuts at No. 5 (57,000) and Bad Bunny’s surprise release Las Que No Iban a Salir enters at No. 7 (42,000).

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. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new May 23-dated chart (where Good Intentions debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 19.

NAV’s Good Intentions follows the rapper-singer’s last release, Bad Habits, which landed him his first No. 1 in April of 2019. It launched with 82,000 units earned in its first week.

Of Good Intentions’ first-week unit figure of 135,000, album sales comprise 73,000, SEA units total 62,000 (equaling 84.8 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs during the tracking week) and under 1,000 are in TEA units.Nearly all of Good Intentions’ album sales were fueled by merchandise/album bundles. On the final day of the tracking week (May 14), NAV’s webstore had 100 different merchandise/album bundles available associated with the Good Intentions album. In addition, there were 18 physical format/digital album offerings (six CDs, six vinyl LPs and six cassettes).

Good Intentions also profited from a mid-week reissue, growing its original 18-track album to a total of 32 tracks. The original 18-track album was released on May 8 and features guests such as Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future and Lil Uzi Vert. Then, on May 10, NAV issued a deluxe edition of the album, adding 14 new cuts, including tracks with Quavo and Lil Durk.

Good Intentions was initially forecasted to earn over 80,000 units in its first week, but its sturdy merch/album bundle sales shot that projection north of 110,000 by Thursday (May 14). Both figures underestimated the allure of NAV’s merchandise/album bundle sales, which pumped the set’s final overall figure to 135,000.

Good Intentions is the second No. 1 album for XO Records in 2020, following The Weeknd’s After Hours. The latter opened atop the chart dated April 4 with the year’s largest week earned for an album, 444,000 units (with 275,000 of that sum in album sales). Like Good Intentions, the After Hours album also had merchandise/album bundles on its side in its first week (more than 80 by the end of its first week of availability).

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Kehlani achieves her highest charting album and biggest week ever in total units earned, as It Was Good Until It Wasn’t debuts with 83,000 equivalent album units. Of that sum, 56,000 are in SEA units (equating to 74.68 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), 25,000 are in album sales (aided by more than 20 merchandise/album bundles) and 1,000 in TEA units.

It Was Good Until It Wasn’t surpasses the singer-songwriter’s previous high, logged when her last full-length studio set, SweetSexySavage, debuted and peaked at No. 3 (chart dated Feb. 18, 2017 with 58,000 units). The new album is her third top 10 effort, as she also hit No. 9 with the While We Wait mixtape in 2019 (March 9).

Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes slips from No. 2 to No. 3 in its second week on the list, earning 79,000 units (down 64 percent). Of that sum, 77,000 are in SEA units (equaling 105.5 million on-demand streams), nearly 2,000 are in album sales and 1,000 are in TEA units. The 14-track album has no merchandise/album bundles available, nor a physical format album on the market. It’s charting solely from streaming activity and a download album available at traditional digital retailers (iTunes, Amazon, etc.).

When Dark Lane Demo Tapes opened at No. 2 a week ago with 223,000 units, it was runner-up to Kenny Chesney’s Here and Now with 233,000 units (powered by sales driven from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with his upcoming tour). Here and Now falls from No. 1 to No. 38 in its second week, with 15,000 units (down 93 percent).

Back in the new top 10, Lil Baby’s former No. 1 My Turn slips from No. 3 to No. 4 with 72,000 equivalent album units earned (down 28 percent).

Rapper Lil Durk scores his second top five-charting album, and best week ever in units earned, as Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 enters at No. 5 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 53,000 are in SEA units (equating to 74.67 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs in its first week), 3,000 are in album sales and 1,000 are in TEA units. Lil Durk previously reached the top 10 with Love Songs 4 the Streets 2, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in August of 2019 with his previous high-water mark for units: 44,000.

DaBaby’s previous No. 1 Blame It on Baby falls from No. 4 to No. 6 with 45,000 equivalent album units (down 7 percent).

Bad Bunny achieves his third top 10 album in less than a year, as his surprise release Las Que No Iban a Salir debuts at No. 7 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 33,000 are in SEA units (equaling 46.2 million on-demand streams for the set’s 10 songs), 8,000 are in album sales (aided by a small number of merchandise/album bundles) and less than 1,000 are in TEA units.

The new album debuts with less than five days of activity, as the set was surprise-released last Sunday, May 10. Most new albums are released at shortly after midnight on Friday morning each week, the first day of the Nielsen Music/MRC Data tracking week, and also the day that is generally regarded as when new albums are released globally. However, Bad Bunny has yet to drop any of his three solo albums at the normal just-after-midnight on Friday morning time. His two previous solo sets, YHLQMDLG and X 100PRE were released, respectively, late on a Friday night, and on a Monday. His one other charting effort, Oasis, a collaborative set with J Balvin, was released on a Friday morning following tradition.

Bad Bunny’s new album is effectively a compilation of previously unfinished songs. The album title translates to “the ones that weren’t going to be released.” The set includes, amusingly, simple-named songs like “Canción Con Yandel” (translation: “Song With Yandel”) with Yandel, and “Bad Con Nicky” (“Bad With Nicky”) with Nicky Jam.

Las Que No Iban a Salir is Bad Bunny’s third top 10 on the Billboard 200 — and all have come within the last 12 months. It follows YHLQMDLG (No. 2 on March 14, 2020) and Oasis (No. 9 on July 13, 2019). Bad Bunny’s one other charting release, X 100PRE, peaked at No. 11 on the list dated Jan. 12, 2019 (after debuting a week earlier at No. 29).

YHLQMDLG falls out of the top 10 for the first time on the latest Billboard 200, as the set slips from No. 10 to No. 11 with 34,000 units (down 7 percent).

Rounding out the top 10 are a trio of former No. 1s: Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake (5-8 with 42,000 units; down 7 percent), The Weeknd’s After Hours (6-9 with 40,000 units; down 9 percent) and Post Malone’s Hollywood Bleeding (8-10 with 37,000 units; down 4 percent).
