Grande achieves her milestone 10th Hot 100 No. 1.

Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me” bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the pop superstar’s milestone 10th career leader on the chart. She ties for the 10th-most No. 1s over the survey’s history.

The song previews Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal, due July 31.

Plus, as Grande wrote and produced “Hate That I Made You Love Me” with Max Martin and ILYA, Martin extends his record for the most Hot 100 No. 1s among producers — 28 — in the chart’s archives. He continues to boast the second-most leaders among writers — 30 — after only Paul McCartney’s 32.

Read on for details of the entire top 10 on this week’s Hot 100.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.

Plus, LE SSERAFIM debuts in the top 10.

Drake’s ICEMAN holds atop the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated June 6) for a second week, earning 225,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending May 28 (down 52%), according to Luminate.

The set bowed at No. 1 a week ago, alongside two more Drake projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, as he became the first artist ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously in the chart’s 70-year history. They fall 2-7 (53,000 units, down 53%) and 3-8 (42,000, down 62%), respectively, in their second week.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, LE SSERAFIM notches its fifth top 10 as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 6, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of ICEMAN’s 225,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 223,000 (down 50%, equaling 228.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it spends a second week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 1,000 (down 90%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 59%).

Of Drake’s 15 Billboard 200 No. 1s — tied for the most among soloists with Taylor Swift — ICEMAN is his sixth to lead for multiple weeks.

The rest of the top five on the new Billboard 200 are all former No. 1s. Ella Langley’s Dandelion rises 5-2 (93,000 equivalent album units, down 5%); Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide climbs 4-3 (85,000, down 16%); Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem ascends 6-4 (80,000, down 6%); and Michael Jackson’s Thriller is up 7-5 (64,000, up 3%).

Jackson’s Number Ones bumps 8-6 (60,000 equivalent album units earned, down less than 1%), while BTS’ former No. 1 ARIRANG steps 10-9 with just more than 41,000 (down 1%).

LE SSERAFIM rounds out the top 10, notching its fifth top 10-charted project as PUREFLOW debuts at No. 10 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 34,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 7.1 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise the remainder. The album’s first-week sales were boosted by its availability across more than 30 CD variants, many containing collectible items such as photocards, stickers and posters, with some items randomized.

He’s the first artist to hold the top three album on the Billboard 200 in the same week.

Drake takes over the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart as his three new albums, ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the chart dated May 30.

All three albums were released on Friday, May 15. It’s the first time that an artist has held the top three on the Billboard 200 concurrently since it began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.

ICEMAN also yields Drake his 15th No. 1 album, pushing him ahead of Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among solo men and R&B/hip-hop artists, and tying him with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1s among soloists. Only one act is ahead of Drake and Swift: The Beatles, with a record 19 No. 1 albums.

While ICEMAN had been teased for months before it dropped, the existence of the other two albums was only announced during a livestream on May 14, shortly before the trio of titles was released.

ICEMAN enters with 463,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 21, marking the second-largest week of 2026 for an album and the biggest week of the year for an R&B/hip-hop set. HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR launch with 114,000 and 110,000 units, respectively.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, rapper LUCKI lands his first top 10 as Dr*gs R Bad debuts at No. 9.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 30, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 27 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. on May 25). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of ICEMAN’s 463,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 449,000 (equaling 462.2 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 tracks; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 13,000 (only available as a digital download, it debuts at No. 5 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Of HABIBTI’s starting sum of 114,000, SEA units comprise 108,000 (equaling 110.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 11 tracks; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise nearly 6,000 (it debuts at No. 12 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

As for MAID OF HONOUR, of its first-week total of 110,000, SEA units comprise 104,000 (equaling 105.48 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 14 tracks; it debuts at No. 3 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 6,000 (it debuts at No. 11 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Both HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, like ICEMAN, were available to purchase only as digital download albums.

As Drake debuts at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200, it marks the first time that one act has had the top three albums at the same time since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.

Drake thus becomes the first act to debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 at the same time. He’s also only the third act to debut at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Guns N’ Roses was the first act to debut at Nos. 1 and 2 concurrently, with Use Your Illusion II and Use Your Illusion I, respectively, on the Oct. 5, 1991-dated chart. Nelly was the second act to start at Nos. 1 and 2 at the same time, with Suit and Sweat, on the Oct. 2, 2004-dated chart. Beyond debuts, multiple acts have ranked at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, most recently Future in March 2017. The Beatles lead with 20 such weeks, all in 1964.

Notably, in the pre-streaming era, one other act earned comparable dominance, although it was not on the Billboard 200. Before December 2014, the Billboard 200 ranked titles by pure album sales and in the week ending June 28, 2009, Michael Jackson had the top three-selling albums of the week, following his death on June 25 — all with catalog (older) albums (Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson and Thriller). However, at the time, catalog albums were excluded from charting on the Billboard 200, and Jackson ranked at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the now-defunct Top Comprehensive Albums chart, which, during its existence, included both current and catalog albums.

ICEMAN marks Drake’s 15th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, surpassing Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among men. Drake ties Taylor Swift for the most No. 1s among soloists. Drake and Swift trail just one act, The Beatles, who have the most No. 1s among all acts, with 19. Jay-Z now follows Drake and Swift, with 14 leaders.

ICEMAN also tallies an 18th top 10-charted album for Drake on the Billboard 200, tying him with Future for the most top 10s among R&B/hip-hop acts.

Here’s a rundown of Drake’s 15 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200:

Title, Year, Weeks at No. 1
ICEMAN, 2026, one (to date)
$ome $exy $ongs 4 U, with PARTYNEXTDOOR, 2025, one
For All the Dogs, 2023, two
Her Loss, with 21 Savage, 2022, one

If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, 2015, one
Nothing Was the Same, 2012, one
Take Care, 2011, one
Thank Me Later, 2010, one

Here’s a recap of the acts with at least 10 No. 1s on the Billboard 200:
The Beatles, 19
Drake, 15
Taylor Swift, 15
Jay-Z, 14
Eminem, 11
Future, 11
Bruce Springsteen, 11
Barbra Streisand, 11
Ye (formerly Kanye West), 11
Elvis Presley, 10

With 463,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, ICEMAN collects the largest week, by units, of 2026 for an R&B/hip-hop album. ICEMAN also logs the second-largest week, by units, of 2026 among all albums — second only to the debut week of BTS’ ARIRANG with 641,000 (April 4 chart).

The last R&B/hip-hop title to score a bigger week than ICEMAN was the opening frame of The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, with its start of 490,000 on the Feb. 15, 2025-dated chart. The last rap title to log a larger week was Travis Scott’s Utopia, with a 496,000-unit debut on the Aug. 12, 2023, chart.

ICEMAN arrives with 463,000 equivalent album units earned, of which 449,000 are derived from SEA units. The latter figure equals 462.2 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks during its first week. That 462.2 million-mark is the largest streaming total for an album in 2026, and the biggest for an R&B/hip-hop album since Drake’s own For All the Dogs debuted with 514.01 million streams for its songs (Oct. 21, 2023-dated chart).

For the first time in nearly a year, the top four titles on the Billboard 200 each exceed 100,000 equivalent album units earned for the week. Following Drake’s trio of albums is Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide, which falls to No. 4 after three weeks atop the list. In its latest tracking week, The Great Divide earned 101,000 equivalent album units (down 24%).

The Billboard 200 last saw the top four titles each surpass 100,000 units on the July 26, 2025-dated chart. That week, JACKBOYS and Travis Scott’s JACKBOYS 2 debuted at No. 1 with 232,000, Justin Bieber’s SWAG debuted at No. 2 with 163,000, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem fell 1-3 with 147,000 and Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out debuted at No. 4 with 118,000.

Following Kahan on the latest Billboard 200 is a trio of former No. 1s. Ella Langley’s Dandelion dips 2-5 (98,000 equivalent album units earned, down 2%), Wallen’s I’m the Problem falls 4-6 (84,000, down less than 1%) and Michael Jackson’s Thriller slips 5-7 (63,000, down 5%). Jackson’s best-of collection Number Ones is next, as it drops 6-8 (60,000, down 8%).

LUCKI lands his first top 10-charted album as Dr*Gs R Bad bows at No. 9 with 51,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 45,000 (equaling 48.39 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, his best streaming week; it debuts at No. 9 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 6,000 (his best sales week; it debuts at No. 13 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. First-week sales of the album got a boost from multiple physical variants, including signed editions.

Rounding out the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 is BTS’s former leader ARIRANG, falling 8-10 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (down 4%).

Plus, feats for Olivia Dean and Bruno Mars.

Ella Langley adds her latest week of chart history as “Choosin’ Texas” tallies a 10th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Only 4% of all leaders over the survey’s 67-year archives have reached the milestone — and the achievement is even rarer among country hits.

The song, which tops multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 25th week, is one of just four songs to have ruled the Hot 100 for 10 or more weeks and made the Hot Country Songs top five; notably, three have done so in the last three-plus years. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” led the lists for 19 and 45 weeks, respectively, in 2024-25, following Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (16 and 25 weeks in 2023). Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” became the first song ever to dominate the Hot 100 for double-digit weeks (10) and hit No. 4 on Hot Country Songs in 1977.

(Honorable mention: Dolly Parton wrote “ I Will Always Love You,” which Whitney Houston took to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks in 1992-93. Parton sent two versions of the beloved ballad to the top of Hot Country Songs, in 1974 and 1982.)

Langley sets another mark on the latest Hot 100: “Be Her” holds at its No. 2 high, making her the first artist known for primarily recording country music ever to claim chart’s the top two spots simultaneously for multiple weeks. Among all core-country acts, she passes Wallen, who doubled up for a week last year.

Among other highlights in the Hot 100’s top 10, Bruno Mars hits a new career radio high with “I Just Might” and Olivia Dean becomes the first British woman ever to chart her first two top five hits in the region together — a feat that among all artists was first earned by The Beatles.

Plus, CORTIS and Chris Brown debut in the top 10.

Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide scores a third week atop the Billboard 200 (dated May 23), making it the first rock album with three weeks at No. 1 in more than a decade. The last rock set with as many weeks at No. 1 was Mumford & Sons’ Babel, with five, nonconsecutively, in 2012-13.

The last rock set by a soloist to spend at least three weeks at No. 1 was Jack Johnson’s Sleep Through the Static, with three total in 2008. Rock albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart.

The Great Divide earned 132,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending May 14 (down 19%), according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, CORTIS clocks its first top 10 as GREENGREEN debuts at No. 3, while Chris Brown lands his 13th top 10 as BROWN bows at No. 7.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 23, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 19. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of The Great Divide’s 132,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 109,000 (down 20%, equaling 111.46 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it spends a third week at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 22,000 (down 85%; it holds at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise the remainder (up 18%).

Ella Langley’s former leader Dandelion is a non-mover at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%).

CORTIS earns its first top 10 with the No. 3 debut of GREENGREEN, starting with 87,000 equivalent album units, the group’s best week by units. Of that sum, album sales comprise 81,500 (the quintet’s best sales week; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 5,500 (equaling 5.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. First-week album sales were bolstered by the set’s availability across more than 20 physical variants on CD and vinyl, all containing collectible items such as photocards and stickers, with some items randomized.

GREENGREEN was preceded by the act’s first Pop Airplay hit, “REDRED,” which climbed 31-30 (a new peak) on the latest chart (dated May 23).

CORTIS charted one earlier album on the Billboard 200, COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, which peaked at No. 15 last year.

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping I’m the Problem is steady at No. 4 on the latest Billboard 200 with 85,000 equivalent album units earned (up 2%).

Michael Jackson has the Nos. 5 and 6 albums, as his former No. 1 Thriller is steady at No. 5 (66,000 equivalent album units, up 6%) and Number Ones is also stationary at No. 6 (just more than 65,000, up 6%). Both titles continue to bask in the glow of the success of the Michael biopic film.

Chris Brown’s new studio effort, BROWN, bows at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, earning the singer-songwriter his 13th top 10-charted project. The new set launches with 65,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 60,000 (equaling 60.31 million on-demand official streams of the sets tracks; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 5,000 (it debuts at No. 19 on Top Album Sales, and was only available to purchase as a digital download) and TEA units comprise the remainder.

The BROWN album was preceded by four hits on the Hot R&B Songs chart: “Holy Blindfold” (No. 8), “It Depends,” featuring Bryson Tiller (No. 3), “Obvious” (No. 5) and “Fallin’,” featuring Leon Thomas (No. 12). All four also reached the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Brown’s co-headlining stadium tour with Usher launches June 26 at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High and continues through Dec. 12 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200: BTS’s former leader ARIRANG (falling 7-8 with 44,000 equivalent album units, down 10%), Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time (holding at No. 9 with 41,000, up 3%) and Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving (8-10 with nearly 41,000, down 3%).

The former reigns for a ninth week. Plus, Tame Impala & JENNIE’s “Dracula” hits the top 10.

Ella Langley makes more chart history as “Choosin’ Texas” continues for a ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and “Be Her” ascends to a new No. 2 high.

Langley becomes the first woman known for primarily recording country music to claim the Hot 100’s top two spots simultaneously over the chart’s 67-year history. Among all core-country acts, only Morgan Wallen has also achieved the feat, for a week last May.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” blasts to No. 10 — becoming the first top 10 for each act — and women hold eight spots in the region, marking a run of prominence last linked nearly a dozen years ago.

Read on for details of this week’s entire top 10 on the Hot 100.

Plus: Kehlani’s self-titled set debuts in the top five, while Michael Jackson’s Thriller returns to the top 10.

Noah Kahan achieves his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as The Great Divide debuts atop the list dated May 9. The set, Kahan’s fourth full-length studio project, earned 389,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 30, according to Luminate.

That marks Kahan’s biggest week by units, the largest week for a rock album by units since the chart began measuring by units at the end of 2014 and the third-biggest week of 2026 among all albums.

Further, The Great Divide lands 2026’s largest streaming week of any album. It also claims the biggest vinyl sales week for a rock album in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991). (Rock albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart.)

The Great Divide is Kahan’s fifth charted effort on the Billboard 200 and his second top 10. He previously topped out at No. 2 with Stick Season, in 2024. That set returns to the top 10, rising 11-10 in its 179th week on the chart.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Kehlani captures her fourth top 10 with the No. 4 debut of her self-titled effort, while Michael Jackson’s chart-topping Thriller re-enters the chart at No. 7 following the debut of the Michael biopic in movie theaters.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 9, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 5. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of The Great Divide’s 389,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 212,000 (equaling 215.37 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, Kahan’s best streaming week and the biggest streaming week of 2026; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 175,000 (his best sales week; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 2,000.

With 389,000 equivalent album units earned, The Great Divide scores the biggest week for a rock album since the Billboard 200 began measuring by units in December 2014. It surpasses the previous high by a rock set in that span, by the No. 1 debut of Dave Matthews Band’s Come Tomorrow, with 292,000 units (June 23, 2018). Plus, with 175,000 copies sold in pure album sales, the set notches the largest sales week for a rock album in nearly seven years, since Tool’s Fear Inoculum bowed at No. 1 with 248,000 (Sept. 14, 2019).

Vinyl purchases comprise 118,000 of The Great Divide’s first week, which is both Kahan’s best week ever on vinyl and the best sales week on vinyl for a rock album in the modern era.

The Great Divide was announced on Jan. 28, and the album’s release on April 24 was preceded by its title track, which spends an 11th week at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart this week (the most weeks atop the chart this decade). The track debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the all-genre multi-metric Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (Feb. 14-dated list), marking Kahan’s highest-charting hit ever.

The album’s first week got a boost from its availability across nine vinyl variants (including a signed edition and a Target-exclusive set with two bonus live tracks), three CD editions (including a signed edition and a Target-exclusive with two bonus live tracks) and a deluxe digital download and streaming version that added four bonus studio songs (dubbed The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs).

Kahan will launch his The Great Divide Tour on June 11 in Orlando, Florida.

A pair of former No. 1s follows Kahan on the latest Billboard 200, as Ella Langley’s Dandelion drops a spot to No. 2 (112,000 equivalent album units, up 6%) and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem dips 2-3 (81,000, down 3%).

Kehlani captures her fourth top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200 as her self-titled set debuts at No. 4 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned — the biggest debut for an R&B album by a woman in 2026. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 45,000 (equaling 45.37 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 24,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The new album was preceded by a trio of top 10s on the Hot R&B Songs chart, including the five-week No. 1 “Folded,” also her first top 10 on the all-genre Hot 100, reaching No. 6 in January. Kehlani was released on five vinyl variants (including a signed edition), six CD variants (including multiple signed editions), and via a standard digital and streaming edition and a deluxe “Uncut” digital download edition with 10 additional tracks.

BTS’ former No. 1 ARIRANG falls 4-5 on the latest Billboard 200 (56,000 equivalent album units, down 8%), while Justin Bieber’s SWAG slips 5-6 (47,000, down 22%).

Michael Jackson’s Thriller re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 7 with 45,000 equivalent album units earned (up 425%), following the April 24 release of the Michael biopic in movie theaters and its blockbuster opening weekend at the U.S. and Canada box office. Thriller, which spent 37 weeks at No. 1 in 1983-84 — the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a singular artist — was last in the top 10 on the Dec. 3, 2022-dated chart, when it jumped 115-7 after its 40th anniversary reissue.

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving falls 6-8 on the latest Billboard 200 (43,000 equivalent album units, down 7%), Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time drops 10-9 (39,000, down 2%) and Kahan’s Stick Season steps 11-10 (38,000, down 2%).

The song starts as her fourth leader, with all having arrived at the summit.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” begins its chart life at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It arrives as her fourth leader, with all having launched in the top spot.

The singer-songwriter first reigned with “Drivers License” for eight weeks in January-March 2021. She followed with “Good 4 U” for a week in May 2021 and “Vampire” for two weeks in July-September 2023.

Already the first artist to debut the lead singles from her first two studio albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100, Rodrigo extends her mark, with “Drop Dead” ushering in her third LP, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, due June 12. “Drivers License” revved anticipation for her first set, Sour (with “Good 4 U” also from the album), and “Vampire” introduced Guts.

Further helping build buzz for “Drop Dead,” Rodrigo released multiple versions of the song and videos for it and performed it live April 18 at Coachella.

Langley joins Taylor Swift as the only women to top the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 with country titles simultaneously.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” tallies a seventh nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became her first leader on the chart in mid-February.

Concurrently, parent album Dandelion sprouts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Langley becomes just the second woman to lead the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously with country titles (defined as those that have hit Billboard’s Hot Country Songs or Top Country Albums charts). Taylor Swift first doubled up with “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” and Red (Taylor’s Version) on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 for a week in November 2021. With Swift earning the honor via re-recorded material, Langley is the first woman to claim the mark with all-new music.

Meanwhile, fellow Dandelion track “Be Her” bounds 8-4 for a new Hot 100 high, marking Langley’s second top five hit. She becomes the first woman artist that has primarily recorded country music to chart her initial two top five songs in the region simultaneously.

On the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, “Choosin’ Texas” reigns for a 21st week and “Be Her” holds at its No. 2 best (with both in the top 10 on Country Airplay). Langley cowrote and coproduced both songs.

“It was such a crazy moment,” the Alabama native told Billboard about finding out that “Choosin’ Texas” had first topped the Hot 100. “My label called, with my team on speaker, and it was just surreal. We loved the song when we wrote it, but none of us thought that it would be the song to do everything it’s doing. It keeps giving us a reason to celebrate new ­milestones.”

Read on for details of this week’s Hot 100 top 10, which again features a prominent presence by women artists overall.

Plus: Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter return to the top 10 after headlining Coachella’s first weekend.

Ella Langley achieves her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as her sophomore studio set Dandelion debuts atop the list dated April 25. The effort launches with 169,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending April 16, according to Luminate. That marks the largest week for a country album by a woman in two years, and the biggest week of 2026 for any woman.

Dandelion was preceded by the smash crossover hit “Choosin’ Texas,” which has spent 20 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs, six weeks atop the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and three weeks at No. 1 on Country Airplay.

With Dandelion’s No. 1 Billboard 200 debut following the No. 1 bow of Megan Moroney’s Cloud 9 on the March 7-dated chart, there have been two No. 1 country albums by two different solo women in a calendar year for the first time in more than a decade. It last happened in 2012, when Taylor Swift’s Red and Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away both reigned. (Honorable mention to 2021, which saw two country No. 1s, but by the same artist, with Swift’s Fearless [Taylor’s Version] and Red [Taylor’s Version].)

Also notable, Dandelion and Cloud 9 are both the first No. 1s for Langley and Moroney. The chart last saw a pair of first No. 1s that were country albums by solo women in the same year nearly 20 years ago. In 2007, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood both got their first No. 1s, with Reba Duets and Carnival Ride, respectively.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 25, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 21. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of Dandelion’s 169,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 128,000 (equaling 130.46 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, Langley’s best streaming week; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 39,000 (her best sales week; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise the remaining sum.

Dandelion claims the largest week for a country album by a woman in two years, and the biggest week of 2026 for any woman. The set also scores the largest streaming week for an album by a woman in 2026, and the biggest streaming week for a country album by a woman in two years. Among country albums by women, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tallied the last larger week by units (407,000 in its debut week; April 13, 2024, chart) and streams (136.08 million in its second week; April 20, 2024, chart).

Country albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

Dandelion is Langley’s first top 10 on the Billboard 200, and her second chart entry, following her Hungover debut. That set arrived on the chart in August 2024 but didn’t hit the top 40 until this January and peaked at No. 20 a week ago (April 18 chart), in its 80th week on the list.

Dandelion was issued as a standard album at streaming services and at retail as a digital download, CD and vinyl (in two variants, one signed).

Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 I’m the Problem holds at No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200, with 83,000 equivalent album units earned (up 4%). In turn, country albums are Nos. 1 and 2 for the second time in 2026, following the Jan. 24-dated list, when Zach Bryan’s With Heaven on Top debuted at No. 1 and I’m the Problem fell 1-2. Before that, it last happened on the Feb. 17, 2024-dated chart, when Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits re-entered the chart at No. 1 following his death and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time fell to No. 2.

Back on the latest Billboard 200, BTS’ ARIRANG slips 1-3 in its fourth week on the list, earning 78,000 equivalent album units (down 37%). The set spent it first three weeks atop the chart. Don Toliver’s chart-topping OCTANE is a non-mover at No. 4 (48,000, down 15%), Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving is steady at No. 5 (nearly 48,000, down 5%), and Bad Bunny’s former leader DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS rises 7-6 (44,000, down 3%).

Justin Bieber’s SWAG zooms 55-7 following his headlining performance during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The set surges with 43,000 equivalent album units earned, a gain of 160% compared to the previous week. The increase was largely owed to streaming activity, as SWAG’s songs generated 42,000 SEA units (up 158%), equaling 41.48 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — across both its SWAG and deluxe SWAG II reissue that contained additional songs. (All versions of the album are combined for tracking and charting.)

Bieber headlined the second night of both weekends of the festival, taking the stage on April 11 and 18, which was also livestreamed on Coachella’s YouTube channel.

Luke Combs’ The Way I Am falls 6-8 on the Billboard 200 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9%) and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time rises 9-8 with 40,000 units (up 5%).

Sabrina Carpenter’s former No. 1 Man’s Best Friend jumps back into the top 10, climbing 18-10, following her headlining turn at Coachella. She reigned over the first night of both weekends, on April 10 and 17. Man’s Best Friend flies up the list with 40,000 equivalent album units earned, up 44%. Like SWAG, Man’s Best Friend mostly gained from streaming increases — it earned 34,000 SEA units (up 60%), equaling 34.39 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. Carpenter’s set was also streamed live on Coachella’s YouTube channel.
