Plus: New albums from Takeoff & Quavo, G Herbo and Charlie Puth debut in top 10.

Stray Kids ring up their second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — and second of 2022 — as MAXIDENT debuts atop the list (dated Oct. 22). The eight track set bows with 117,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 13, according to Luminate. The South Korean group notched its first chart-topper on the April 2 list, with its first charting effort, ODDINARY.

Both ODDINARY and MAXIDENT were released via JYP/Imperial/Republic Records.

Maxident is the fourth album by a South Korean act to lead the Billboard 200 in 2022, following BLACKPINK’s Born Pink, BTS’ Proof and ODDINARY. In 2021, there were zero No. 1s by a South Korean act, and in 2020 there were two (BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 and BE).

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Takeoff and Quavo’s collaborative album, Only Built for Infinity Links, debuts at No. 7, G Herbo’s Survivor’s Remorse: Side A bows at No. 9, and Charlie Puth’s Charlie 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 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 22, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 18). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of MAXIDENT’s 117,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 110,000, SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.61 million on-demand official streams of the set’s eight tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

MAXIDENT’s 110,000 sold marks the fourth-largest sales week of any album in 2022. Of that sum, 97% were CD sales (107,000), while 3% were digital album sales (3,000). The set was not available in any other configuration (such as vinyl LP or cassette).

The CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (10 total, including exclusive variants for Barnes & Noble, Target and the group’s official webstore), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements (such as photocards, mini posters and stickers). CD sales were also aided by autographed editions sold via the act’s webstore.

MAXIDENT bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 only six months and three weeks after ODDINARY opened atop the list. The last act with a shorter wait between new No. 1s was Young Thug, with six months between the Young Stoner Life: Slime Language 2 (credited on the chart to Young Thug & Various Artists; May 1, 2021, chart) and Punk (Oct. 30, 2021). The last act with a shorter wait between No. 1s excluding those co-billed with a cast of various artists was Taylor Swift, who waited a more scant four months between the first weeks at No. 1 for Evermore (Dec. 26, 2020) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (April 24, 2021). The last group to have a shorter wait between No. 1s was BTS, with just three months and one week between its first two No. 1s: Love Yourself: Tear (June 2, 2018) and Love Yourself: Answer (Sept. 8, 2018).

ODDINARY and MAXIDENT are Stray Kids’ first two albums to chart on the Billboard 200. Thus, the group maintains a perfect record on the list, landing No. 1 albums with its first two entries. Stray Kids made their overall Billboard chart debut in 2017 on the World Digital Song Sales chart (which ranks the week’s top-selling world music digital songs) and landed their first entry on a Billboard album chart in 2018 with Mixtape. In 2018-21, the act accumulated 10 top 10-charting albums on Billboard‘s World Albums chart (which ranks the week’s most popular world music titles). Stray Kids did not reach the all-genre Billboard 200 with any release until this April with ODDINARY, which marked the act’s first release in the U.S. through JYP’s partnership with Imperial/Republic.

MAXIDENT is mostly in the Korean language, but includes a fair amount of English lyrics. Notably, itis the 16th mostly non-English language album to hit No. 1 and the fourth in 2022. Earlier in the year, there were mostly non-English No. 1s from BTS’ mostly-Korean Proof, Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish Un Verano Sin Ti and the mostly-Korean ODDINARY.

While Stray Kids have yet to chart a song on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 chart (through the most recently published list, dated Oct. 15), the group has notched a trio of songs on the Billboard Global 200 and six on the Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. tally. The act last charted on both lists with the ODDINARY single “Maniac,” peaking at Nos. 21 and 15, respectively.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti falls to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 after 13 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list (76,000 equivalent album units earned; down 9%).

Beyoncé’s former No. 1 Renaissance rallies 6-3 with 75,000 equivalent album units (up 145%) after the wide release of its vinyl album on Oct. 7.

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album dips 3-4 on the Billboard 200 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (down less than 1%).

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 91 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200. It now solely has the fifth-most weeks in the top 10 among all albums since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956. The all-time top 10 record-holder is the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. See list, below.

Takeoff and Quavo’s collaborative set, Only Built for Infinity Links, bows at No. 7 with 33,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 31,000 (equaling 41.13 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 tracks), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise 500. It’s the second top 10-charting set for Takeoff (following The Last Rocket, No. 4 in 2018) and the second for Quavo (after Quavo Huncho, No. 2, also in 2018).

Takeoff and Quavo also comprise two-thirds of Migos, which logged three top 10s, including a pair of No. 1s in Culture and Culture II (in 2017 and 2018, respectively). Migos’ third member, Offset, is due to release a solo album on Nov. 11. He’s previously logged two top 10s on the Billboard 200 (Without Warning, with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, No. 4 in 2017; and Father of 4, No. 4 in 2019). As for Migos, the act is on an indefinite hiatus.

Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak is pushed down 7-8 on the Billboard 200 despite a 1% gain (to 28,000 equivalent album units).

G Herbo notches his third top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the No. 9 debut of Survivor’s Remorse: Side A, which launches with 27,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 36.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 500 units and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The project was initially released as a 12-track standard album on Oct. 7, and was reissued in a deluxe form on Oct. 10 with 13 additional tracks (dubbed Survivor’s Remorse: Side A & Side B).

Charlie Puth rounds out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 with his third full-length album, Charlie, which bows at No. 10. All three of his full-length studio projects have debuted in the top 10. The new set starts with 26,500 equivalent album units earned, of which SEA units comprise 16,000 (equaling 21.26 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 tracks), album sales comprise 9,500 and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Charlie was preceded by a pair of top 30-charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Light Switch” and “Left and Right,” the latter featuring Jung Kook (of BTS).

Smith matches their best career rank first set with “Stay With Me” in 2014.

Steve Lacy‘s “Bad Habit” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, a week after it took over the top spot.

Meanwhile, Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ “Unholy” pushes to No. 2 on the Hot 100 from No. 3, where it debuted a week earlier. Smith ties their highest rank on the survey, first reached with “Stay With Me” in 2014.

Plus, Nicky Youre and dazy‘s “Sunroof,” at No. 5 on the Hot 100, becomes the most-heard song on U.S. radio, as it hits No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Oct. 15, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Oct. 11). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“Bad Habit,” released on L-M/RCA Records, tallied 41.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 7%), 20.6 million streams (up 1%) and 2,000 downloads sold (up 13%) in the Sept. 30-Oct. 6 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single, which Lacy solely produced and co-wrote, holds at No. 2 after five nonconsecutive weeks atop the Streaming Songs chart; repeats at its No. 7 high on Radio Songs; and jumps 38-32 for a new best on Digital Song Sales.

Lacy’s first Hot 100 No. 1, from his album Gemini Rights, which debuted as his first top 10, at its No. 7 high, on the July 30-dated Billboard 200, concurrently rules the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a seventh week each and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a sixth frame each. It became the first song to rule all five rankings (dating to October 2012, when Billboard‘s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100’s methodology).

Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” rises 3-2 in its second week on the Hot 100, with 23.8 million streams (up 3% – aided by the Sept. 30 premiere of its official video), 10.2 million in airplay audience (up 273%) and 11,000 sold (down 12%). It leads both Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales for a second week – and is the first hit to rule both rankings in its first two weeks on each chart since Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” doubled up in its first three frames on each survey (Jan. 23, 30 and Feb. 6, 2021; it went on to spend its first four weeks atop Streaming Songs).

Meanwhile, “Unholy” equals Smith’s best rank among their seven Hot 100 top 10s, first established by “Stay With Me” in August 2014. Petras rises to the runner-up spot with her first entry on the chart.

(Devil is in the details: “Unholy” is now solely the highest-charting Hot 100 hit with “holy” in its title, as it one-ups Justin Bieber’s No. 3-peaking “Holy,” featuring Chance the Rapper, in 2020; before that, Jay Z’s “Holy Grail,” featuring Justin Timberlake, hit No. 4 in 2013.)

Harry Styles “As It Was” descends 2-3 on the Hot 100, after 15 weeks at No. 1 – the fourth-longest reign in the chart’s history. Still, the song, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 16-dated list, extends its record for the most weeks, 27, tallied in the top three, encompassing its entire run on the chart so far.

Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, is steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3.

Nicky Youre and dazy’s breakthrough hit “Sunroof” keeps at No. 5 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 4, as it ascends to No. 1 on Radio Songs (60 million, down 1%). The track marks the first collaborative leader by two acts each in their first appearance on Radio Songs since 24kGoldn’s “Mood,” featuring iann dior, dominated for 11 weeks beginning in November 2020.

OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” advances to a new No. 6 Hot 100 high, from No. 7; Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” rebounds 8-7 after reaching No. 6, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for an eighth week; Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” backtracks 6-8 on the Hot 100, after it opened atop the Aug. 27 chart, as it tops the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for an eighth week; Luke Combs’ “The Kind of Love We Make” climbs 11-9 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 8; and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” holds at No. 10, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in late July.

Again, for all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram and all charts (dated Oct. 15), including the Hot 100 in its entirety, will refresh on Billboard.com tomorrow (Oct. 11).

Lacy lands his first leader, while “Unholy” launches at No. 3 and “Tomorrow 2” starts at No. 9.

Steve Lacy‘s “Bad Habit” ascends to No. 1, after four weeks at No. 2, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as the genre-spanning single becomes his first leader on the list.

Meanwhile, two songs soar onto the Hot 100 in the top 10: Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ “Unholy,” at No. 3, and GloRilla and Cardi B‘s “Tomorrow 2,” at No. 9. Petras and GloRilla each appear in the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time, while Smith scores their seventh top 10 and Cardi B earns her 11th.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Oct. 8, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Oct. 4). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“Bad Habit,” released on L-M/RCA Records, is the 1,142nd No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 64-year history. Here’s a deeper look at its coronation.

Airplay, Streams & Sales

“Bad Habit” tallied 40.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 8%), 20.4 million streams (up 4%) and 2,000 downloads sold (up 4%) in the Sept. 23-29 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single, which Lacy solely produced and co-wrote, slips to No. 2 after five nonconsecutive weeks atop the Streaming Songs chart; rises to a new No. 7 high, from No. 8, on Radio Songs; and, despite its sales gain, dips to No. 38, from its No. 37 best, on Digital Song Sales.

Lacy’s First Leader

Lacy notches his first Hot 100 No. 1, with his first entry on the chart. The song is the third leader this year by acts in their first visit to the survey, following “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals (five weeks at No. 1, beginning in March) and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” by Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz and the Encanto Cast (five weeks, starting in January). (In 2021, no acts led in their first appearances, although Olivia Rodrigo reigned with her first properly promoted single, “Drivers License,” while Silk Sonic led with its first release, “Leave the Door Open,” after members Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak had each charted with solo songs.)

Lacy is the first solo male to top the Hot 100 with a first charted title (in a lead role) since Jawsh 685, whose “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” with Jason Derulo and BTS, led the list dated Oct. 17, 2020. Lacy is the first solo male to command the Hot 100 with a rookie entry and no accompanying acts since Lewis Capaldi with “Someone You Loved,” which led for three weeks beginning in November 2019.

Since the debut of “Bad Habit” on the July 16-dated Hot 100, Lacy has charted two more titles: “Static,” which rises 82-78 for a new best on the current ranking, and “Dark Red,” up 95-79 in its second week.

“Bad Habit” and “Static” are from Lacy’s album Gemini Rights, which debuted as his first top 10, at its No. 7 high, on the July 30-dated Billboard 200.

Lacy’s Hot 100 triumph follows the 24-year-old Compton, Calif., native’s appearances as a recording artist on other Billboard charts, first as a member of The Internet and then via collaborations as a soloist alongside acts including Frank Ocean, Tyler, The Creator and Vampire Weekend.

Lacy’s current North American tour runs through a hometown show at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles Nov. 11, to be followed by dates in Australia and Europe through December. He recently told Billboard of his greatest career success so far, “I’m just grateful. It still doesn’t feel real yet.”

RCA Returns to No. 1

RCA Records rules the Hot 100 for the first time since Doja Cat’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj, topped the May 16, 2020-dated chart.

Lacy is the first artist on RCA to lead the Hot 100 in a first visit to the chart since Mark Ronson, whose “Uptown Funk!,” featuring Bruno Mars, dominated for 14 weeks starting in January 2015.

100 to 1

As “Bad Habit” debuted at No. 100 on the Hot 100, the track wraps a rare 100-to-1 journey.

Here’s a recap of all 12 singles that have topped the Hot 100 after they started at the bottom (with 2022 the first year with two such treks completed).

“Big Bad John,” Jimmy Dean, Nov. 6, 1961

It’s a good week not just for “Bad Habit” but also Bad Bunny, whose Un Verano Sin Ti adds a 12th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Record R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock & Alternative No. 1

“Bad Habit” concurrently crowns the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a sixth week each and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a fifth frame each. It became the first song to rule all five rankings (dating to October 2012, when Billboard‘s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100’s methodology).

Harry Styles “As It Was” descends to No. 2 on the Hot 100, after 15 weeks at No. 1 – the fourth-longest reign in the chart’s history. The track tops Radio Songs for an eighth week (62.8 million in audience, down 1%) and drew 14 million streams (up 3%) and sold 3,000 (down 11%) in the tracking week.

Notably, “As It Was” extends its record for the most weeks spent in the Hot 100’s top two positions, having logged 25 weeks, of its 26 total weeks on the chart, in the top two, from its April 16 debut at No. 1 through the newest, Oct. 8-dated survey. The song also extends its mark for the most weeks, 26, tallied in the Hot 100’s top three in the chart’s history – and is the first single ever to spend its first 26 weeks, or half a year, on the list all in the top three.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras unleash “Unholy” at No. 3 on the Hot 100. Released Sept. 22, the collab drew 23.2 million streams and 2.8 million in airplay audience and sold 12,000 in its first full week (ending Sept. 29), as it blasts in at No. 1 on both Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales.

Smith and Petras began teasing the single in August, with it being used in over 450,000 clips on the platform to date. (Its official video premiered Friday, Sept. 30, with any resulting gains contributing to next week’s, Oct. 15-dated charts.)

“Unholy” arrives as Smith’s seventh Hot 100 top 10, following their featured turn on Disclosure’s “Latch” (No. 7 peak, 2014) and Smith’s own “Stay With Me” (No. 2, 2014), “I’m Not the Only One” (No. 5, 2014), “Lay Me Down” (No. 8, 2015), “Too Good at Goodbyes” (No. 4, 2017) and “Dancing With a Stranger” (with Normani; No. 7, 2019).

Petras achieves her first Hot 100 entry, after reaching various Billboard charts beginning in 2012. (Notably, she makes the highest debut with an act’s first Hot 100 hit since Zayn’s “Pillowtalk,” his first charted single outside One Direction, premiered at No. 1 in February 2016. Before that, Baauer bowed on top with his first entry, the then-viral “Harlem Shake,” in March 2013.)

“Unholy” starts as Smith’s second No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, after “Too Good at Goodbyes,” and first on Streaming Songs. Petras tops each tally for the first time, with her first entry on each chart.

Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 high; Nicky Youre and dazy’s “Sunroof” descends to No. 5 from its No. 4 best; and Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” backtracks 5-6, after it opened atop the Aug. 27 chart, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a seventh week.

OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” holds at its No. 7 top rank on the Hot 100 and Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” retreats to No. 8 from its No. 6 highpoint, while leading the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a seventh week.

GloRilla and Cardi B’s “Tomorrow 2” bounds onto the Hot 100 at No. 9. It starts at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (9,000) and No. 3 on Streaming Songs (19.7 million), and drew 3.5 million in radio reach, in the week ending Sept. 29, following the Sept. 23 arrival of its collaborative mix, after the song was originally released as “Tomorrow” by GloRilla.

GloRilla (born Gloria Woods in Memphis, Tenn.) claims her first Hot 100 top 10, in her second trip to the chart, after “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” with Hitkidd, reached No. 42 in September. (“F.N.F.” also topped the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in August.)

Cardi B adds her 11th Hot 100 top 10 and first since her featured billing on Lizzo’s “Rumors,” which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in August 2021. Before that, she boosted her No. 1 count to five with “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion (August 2020), and “Up” (March 2021).

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” falls 9-10, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in late July.

Plus: 5 Seconds of Summer debut at No. 2, while Alice in Chains’ ‘Dirt’ returns to top 10 after reissue.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti is back atop the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Oct. 8) for a 12th nonconsecutive week, as the set steps from No. 2 to No. 1 with 87,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 29 (down 6%), according to Luminate. The last album with more weeks at No. 1 was Drake’s Views, with 13 nonconsecutive weeks on top in 2016.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, 5 Seconds of Summer’s new 5SOS5 bows at No. 2, while Alice in Chains’ Dirt re-enters the chart at No. 9 following its 30th anniversary reissue.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 8, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 4). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Un Verano Sin Ti’s 87,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 85,000 (down 6%, equaling 119.8 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 2,000 (down 16%) and TEA units comprise less than 1,000 (down 19%).

5 Seconds of Summer notch their sixth top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 with 5SOS5, as it debuts at No. 2 with 48,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 36,000, SEA units comprise 12,000 (equaling 15.82 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible number. All six of the band’s top 10 albums have placed in the top two of the tally, with three having hit No. 1.

A quartet of former No. 1s is next on the Billboard 200, as Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album rises 4-3 (46,000 equivalent album units earned; down 4%), BLACKPINK’s Born Pink falls 1-4 in its second week (40,000; down 60%), Harry Styles’ Harry’s House climbs 7-5 (36,000; up 5%) and Beyoncé’s Renaissance is a non-mover at No. 6 (34,000; down 5%). The Weeknd’s compilation The Highlights descends 5-7 (28,000; down 29%) while Rod Wave’s former leader Beautiful Mind bumps up 9-8 (26,000; down 8%).

Alice in Chains’ Dirt re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 9 with 26,000 equivalent album units earned (up 641%), following the album’s 30th anniversary remastered reissue on Sept. 23. The set, first released in 1992, bounds back onto the list for the first time since 1994. It logs its highest rank on the chart since Oct. 24, 1992, when it placed at No. 8 in its second week on the list, after debuting and peaking a week earlier at No. 6.

Dirt’s re-entry is largely powered by sales of its double vinyl album, with 22,500 sold across its three available pressings (a widely available standard black LP, a red-colored variant exclusive to Walmart and an orange-colored LP exclusively sold through the band’s webstore).

The 13-track Dirt album is Alice in Chains’ longest-charting effort on the Billboard 200, with 103 weeks on the list (including the current week). The Grammy Award-nominated set launched five top 40-charting hit songs on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart: “Would?” (No. 19), “Them Bones” (No. 24), “Angry Chair” (No. 34), “Rooster” (No. 7) and “Down in a Hole” (No. 10).

Closing out the Billboard 200’s new top 10 is Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak, which rises 11-10 with 25,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1%).

Only three hits overall have led longer.

Harry Styles‘ “As It Was” logs a 15th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. Only three songs have led longer over the survey’s 64-year history, while “As It Was” claims outright the longest reign for a song by a British artist, as well as by an act with no accompanying artists.

Styles also sports the rare achievement of holding the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 while starring in the top movie at the box office, as Don’t Worry Darling premiered as the weekend’s top film domestically.

Meanwhile, Luke Combs adds his second Hot 100 top 10, as the country star’s “The Kind of Love We Make” jumps from No. 14 to No. 8.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Oct. 1, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 27). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“As It Was,” released on Erskine/Columbia Records, tallied 66 million radio airplay audience impressions (down 2%), 13.5 million streams (down 6%) and 3,000 downloads sold (up 13%) in the Sept. 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single scores a seventh week atop the Radio Songs chart; dips 6-9 on Streaming Songs, after two weeks on top starting in its debut week in April; and rebounds 24-15 on Digital Song Sales, following a week in the lead in May.

Fourth-Longest No. 1 Hot 100 Run, Longest for a Song With No Accompanying Acts

“As It Was” now solely boasts the fourth-longest reign in the Hot 100’s history, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. It has achieved the longest command since Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus (also on Columbia), ruled for a record 19 weeks in 2019.

Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100:

• 19, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, beginning April 13, 2019
• 16, “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, May 27, 2017
• 16, “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, Dec. 2, 1995
• 15 (to date), “As It Was,” Harry Styles, April 16, 2022
• 14, “Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Jan. 17, 2015
• 14, “I Gotta Feeling,” The Black Eyed Peas, July 11, 2009
• 14, “We Belong Together,” Mariah Carey, June 4, 2005
• 14, “Candle in the Wind 1997″/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Elton John, Oct. 11, 1997
• 14, “Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix),” Los Del Rio, Aug. 3, 1996
• 14, “I’ll Make Love to You,” Boyz II Men, Aug. 27, 1994
• 14, “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney Houston, Nov. 28, 1992

Further, “As It Was” breaks out of a tie for the longest Hot 100 domination among singles by artists with no accompanying acts, as it passes the 14-week leaders above by The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Elton John, Los Del Rio, Boyz II Men and Whitney Houston.

Longest Hot 100 Reign for a Song by a British Artist

With Styles from Redditch, Worcestershire, England, “As It Was” surpasses Ronson and John’s hits listed above for the longest Hot 100 rule ever by a British artist.

(In the rundown below, * denotes British artists on songs with multiple acts.)

Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by British Artists:

• 15 (to date), “As It Was,” Harry Styles, beginning April 16, 2022
• 14, “Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson* feat. Bruno Mars, Jan. 17, 2015
• 14, “Candle in the Wind 1997″/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Elton John, Oct. 11, 1997
• 12, “Shape of You,” Ed Sheeran, Jan. 28, 2017
• 10, “Easy on Me,” Adele, Oct. 30, 2021

• 10, “We Found Love,” Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris*, Nov. 12, 2011
• 10, “Physical,” Olivia Newton-John, Nov. 21, 1981
• 9, “Hey Jude,” The Beatles, Sept. 28, 1968

Most Weeks Ever in Hot 100’s Top Two & Top Three

“As It Was” extends its record for the most weeks spent in the Hot 100’s top two positions, having logged 24 weeks, of its 25 total weeks on the chart, in the top two, from its April 16 debut at No. 1 through the newest, Oct. 1-dated survey.

The song also extends its mark for the most weeks, 25, tallied in the Hot 100’s top three in the chart’s history.

“As It Was” is additionally the first song ever to spend its first 25 weeks on the Hot 100 all in the top three.

No. 1 on Hot 100 for 15 Weeks Over 25 Weeks

“As It Was” has now topped the Hot 100 for 15 weeks over a span of 25 weeks, from its debut through the current chart. (In its other 10 weeks on the list, it ranked at No. 2 for nine weeks and No. 3 for one frame.) The song extends the longest span of a title leading the list in a single release cycle. (Overall, Mariah Carey’s 1994 carol “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds the record for the longest stretch from a song’s first to its most recent week at No. 1: two years and three weeks [Dec. 21, 2019-Jan. 8, 2022]).

On the Radio Songs chart, “As It Was” has led for seven weeks over a span of 20 weeks, the second-longest span of a song ranking at No. 1. The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” ruled for 26 weeks over a stretch of 28 weeks (2020).

Styles No. 1 in Music & Movies

Meanwhile, Styles can celebrate having the top song and starring in the top movie in the U.S. While “As It Was” holds atop the Hot 100, Don’t Worry Darling premiered with a weekend-winning $19.2 million domestically in theaters. The film stars — in addition to Styles and others — Chris Pine, Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde, the latter of whom also directed and co-produced it.

Such a double domination is rare, with Styles following such notable examples as Prince, whose five-week Hot 100 reign in 1984 with “When Doves Cry” coincided with the rule in theaters of Purple Rain, and Eminem, whose “Lose Yourself” controlled the Hot 100 for 12 weeks in 2002-03, aligning with his box office-topping acting debut in parent film 8 Mile.

(Going back to Back to the Future, Huey Lewis made a comical cameo in the 1985 blockbuster, which reigned as the top movie as his and The News’ “The Power of Love” [not Marty McFly’s version …] led the Hot 100.)

Steve Lacy’s first Hot 100 top 10 “Bad Habit” spends a fourth week at its No. 2 high, with 37.8 million in airplay audience (up 10%), 19.6 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 2,000 sold (up 39%). The track rebounds from No. 2 for a fifth week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs; becomes Lacy’s first Radio Songs top 10, surging 13-8; and debuts at No. 37 on Digital Song Sales.

“Bad Habit” leads the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a fifth week each and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a fourth frame each, having become the first song to rule all five rankings (dating to October 2012, when Billboard‘s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100’s methodology).

Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, rises 5-3 for a new Hot 100 best; Nicky Youre and Dazy’s “Sunroof” holds at its No. 4 high; and Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” drops 3-5, after it soared in at No. 1 on the Aug. 27 chart, as it tops the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a sixth week.

Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” keeps at its No. 6 Hot 100 highpoint, while leading the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a sixth week, and OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” ascends 8-7 for a new top rank.

Luke Combs notches his second Hot 100 top 10, as “The Kind of Love We Make” bounds 14-8 with 32.7 million in airplay audience (up 5%), 13.9 million streams (up 13%) and 3,000 sold (up 8%).

Combs previously hit the Hot 100’s top 10 with “Forever After All,” which debuted at its No. 2 peak in November 2020 (the highest entrance ever for a core country male soloist).

Two Country Hits in Hot 100’s Top 10

Thanks to Wallen’s “You Proof” and Combs’ “The Kind of Love We Make,” two top 10 Hot Country Songs hits place in the Hot 100’s top 10 together. The tracks rank at No. 1 (for a sixth week, as noted above) and No. 2 on Hot Country Songs (after four weeks on top), respectively.

The songs combine for the fourth such double-up in just over two years – after none had occurred in over 20 years, since May 13, 2000, when Faith Hill’s “Breathe” and Lonestar’s “Amazed” ranked at Nos. 3 and 10 on the Hot 100, respectively.

Here’s a recap of the five most recent instances of Hot Country Songs top 10s sharing space in the Hot 100’s top 10, with Wallen, Combs and Gabby Barrett factoring into two each:

• Oct. 1, 2022: “You Proof,” Morgan Wallen (No. 6 on the Hot 100), “The Kind of Love We Make,” Luke Combs (No. 8)
• Nov. 27, 2021: “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” Taylor Swift (No. 1), “Fancy Like,” Walker Hayes (No. 10)
• Nov. 7, 2020: “Forever After All,” Combs (No. 2), “I Hope,” Gabby Barrett feat. Charlie Puth (No. 6)
• Aug. 29, 2020: “7 Summers,” Wallen (No. 6), “I Hope” (No. 10)
• May 13, 2000: “Breathe,” Faith Hill (No. 3), “Amazed,” Lonestar (No. 10)

Notably, unlike the four most recent team-ups until this week, both “Proof” and “Kind” appear in the Hot 100’s top 10 without the assistance of pop/adult radio promotion. “All Too Well,” “Fancy Like” and “I Hope,” as well as “Breathe” and “Amazed,” all drew multi-format airplay support. Wallen and Combs’ latest hits are both scaling the tier largely thanks to their streaming and country radio strength, as they rank at Nos. 5 and 7, respectively, on Streaming Songs and Nos. 3 and 2, respectively, on the Country Airplay chart.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” descends 7-9, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in late July, and Future’s “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems, repeats at No. 10, following a week on top in its debut frame in May.

It’s both the first chart-topper for the K-pop quartet and by an all-female group in over a decade.

BLACKPINK lands its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Oct. 1) as its second full-length studio album, Born Pink, starts atop the list with 102,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 22, according to Luminate. The eight-song set is the first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 by an all-female group since 2008.

Born Pink is the second top 10 for the South Korean quartet, which previously debuted and peaked at No. 2 in October 2020 with its full-length debut, The Album. In addition, Born Pink is the third album by a South Korean act to top the Billboard 200 in 2022, following BTS’ Proof and Stray Kids’ Stray Kids Mini Album: Oddinary. (Unlike those two albums, which are mostly in the Korean language, Born Pink is mostly in English — though with a fair amount of Korean lyrics.)

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 1, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Sept. 27. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Born Pink’s 102,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 75,500; SEA units comprise 25,000 (equaling 37.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise 1,500.

Born Pink is the first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 by a female group since Danity Kane’s second album, Welcome to the Dollhouse, debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated April 5, 2008.

Born Pink also debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart with the seventh-largest sales week of any album in 2022 — 75,500 copies sold. Of that sum, 85% were CD sales (64,000), while 15% were digital album sales (11,500). The set was not available in any other configuration (such as vinyl LP or cassette).

The CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (17 total, including exclusive variants for Target and the group’s official webstore), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements (such as photocards, postcards and stickers). Among those were four alternative cover art editions — each corresponding to a member of the group. CD sales were bolstered by the availability of signed editions of the album (the four cover variants) in the group’s webstore and at independent record stores, where each of the four versions was signed by its corresponding member.

Lavish collectible CD packages like Born Pink’s are typically expensive — as its standard digipack and box set editions originally sold for $26 and $50, respectively, in the group’s webstore. However, the digipack’s price fell to $14.99 during release week, while the autographed edition available at indie retail also went for $14.99.

Sale pricing also kicked in on the digital version of the album, which began selling for $7.99 in the iTunes and Amazon digital stores but fell to $3.99 midway through its debut week. In addition, three alternative digital editions of the album were released on Sept. 19 exclusively in the group’s webstore for $4.99 each. All three had the same eight song tracklist, but two came with an alternative cover art, and one was a “signed digital album” (with digital replicas of the quartet’s signatures on its cover).

Born Pink’s lead single “Pink Venom” debuted and peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Sept. 3. It has so far reached No. 36 on the Pop Airplay chart (through the most recently published list dated Sept. 24). The cut also spent two weeks on the all-genre Streaming Songs chart, debuting and peaking at No. 9 (Sept. 3 chart).

Outside the U.S., “Pink Venom” is a major hit, spending two weeks atop the Billboard Global 200 and three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. tally. The two charts rank the world’s most popular songs of the week based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti falls 1-2 on the Billboard 200 after 11 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list. The set earned 93,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week (down 4%).

NCT 127’s 2 Baddies debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, giving the South Korean pop ensemble its third top 10-charting effort. It matches the act’s chart high, first achieved with its previous album, Sticker: The 3rd Album, which debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Oct. 2, 2021-dated list.

2 Baddies bows with 58,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 55,500; SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 3.85 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The CD configuration of 2 Baddies was issued in collectible deluxe packages (eight total, including a Target-exclusive edition), each with a standard set of items and randomized elements (like photocards and posters). Sales were also enhanced by the availability of deluxe box set editions that were packaged with branded merchandise like shirts, hats and tote bags. Nearly all of its sales for the week were on CD (a little under 1,000 were sold via digital download); the set was not issued in any other physical format.

2 Baddies will be released in further iterations on Oct. 7, as its CD digipack edition will street that day — available in nine different cover variations (one for each of the group’s members), each with a standard set of paper goods and randomized photocards.

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album is a non-mover at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 48,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%).

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 88 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200. It now solely has the sixth-most weeks in the top 10 among all albums since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956.

The all-time top 10 record-holder is the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. See list, below.

Albums With Most Weeks in Top 10 on Billboard 200 Chart (March 24, 1956-onwards)

(through the Oct. 1, 2022-dated chart.)

The Weeknd’s compilation album The Highlights vaults back to the top 10, rising 32-5 with 39,000 equivalent album units earned (up 139%). The set contains such hits “Blinding Lights” and the resurgent “Die for You” (from The Weeknd’s studio albums After Hours and Starboy, respectively). On the new chart, the TEA and SEA units for those songs contribute to The Highlights, as a song’s activity is assigned to the artist’s album with the most traditional album sales in a week. (The Highlights sold nearly 1,000 copies in the latest tracking week, while After Hours and Starboy each sold under 1,000.) A week ago, the TEA and SEA for the songs were directed to After Hours and Starboy, respectively, as they outsold The Highlights that week.

Beyoncé’s former leader Renaissance climbs 8-6 on the new Billboard 200 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%) and Harry Styles’ chart-topping Harry’s House is stationary at No. 7 with 35,000 units (down 8%).

EST Gee clocks his second top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 as I Never Felt Nun bows at No. 8 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 29,000 (equaling 41.15 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) while album sales comprise 1,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Closing out the top 10 are Rod Wave’s former No. 1 Beautiful Mind, holding steady at No. 9 (29,000 equivalent album units earned, down 9%), and YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Realer 2, falling 6-10 in its third chart week (27,000, down 30%).

The smash scores a 14th week at No. 1.

Harry Styles‘ “As It Was” adds a 14th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The song’s latest frame at the summit marks another milestone, as it ties for the fourth-longest command in the chart’s 64-year history.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj‘s former Hot 100 No. 1 “Super Freaky Girl” rebounds from No. 7 to No. 3, and returns to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, following the release of its “Queen Mix” version; Post Malone‘s “I Like It (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, reaches the Hot 100’s top five, rising 6-5; and Morgan Wallen revisits his best Hot 100 rank, as “You Proof” jumps 10-6, after the arrival of its official video.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Sept. 24, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 20). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“As It Was,” released on Erskine/Columbia Records, tallied 68.2 million radio airplay audience impressions (essentially even week-over-week), 14.4 million streams (down 9%) and 3,000 downloads sold (down 13%) in the Sept. 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single scores a sixth week atop the Radio Songs chart; retreats 5-6 on Streaming Songs, after two weeks on top starting in its debut week in April; and dips 21-24 on Digital Song Sales, following a week in the lead in May.

Tied for Fourth-Longest No. 1 Hot 100 Run

“As It Was” ties for the fourth-longest rule in the Hot 100’s history, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. It boasts the longest command since Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus (also on Columbia), ruled for a record 19 weeks in 2019.

Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100:
19, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, beginning April 13, 2019
16, “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, May 27, 2017
16, “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, Dec. 2, 1995

14, “I’ll Make Love to You,” Boyz II Men, Aug. 27, 1994
14, “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney Houston, Nov. 28, 1992

Notably, “As It Was” ties for the longest Hot 100 domination among singles by artists with no accompanying acts. (Of those seven songs above with 14-week commands, “As It Was” is one of four by solo artists, joining the hits listed by Mariah Carey, Elton John and Whitney Houston.)

Most Weeks Ever in Hot 100’s Top Two & Top Three

“As It Was” extends its record for the most weeks spent in the Hot 100’s top two positions, having logged 23 weeks, of its 24 total weeks on the chart, in the top two, from its April 16 debut at No. 1 through the newest, Sept. 24-dated survey.

Meanwhile, the song ties The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay,” beginning in July 2021, for the most weeks, 23 each, tallied in the Hot 100’s top three in the chart’s history.

Further, “As It Was” is the first song ever to spend its first 23 weeks on the Hot 100 all in the top three.

No. 1 on Hot 100 for 14 Weeks Over 24 Weeks

“As It Was” has now placed atop the Hot 100 for 14 weeks over a span of 24 weeks, from its debut through the current chart. (In its other 10 weeks on the list, it ranked at No. 2 for nine weeks and No. 3 for one frame.) The song extends the longest span of a title leading the list in a single release cycle. (Overall, Mariah Carey’s 1994 carol “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds the record for the longest stretch from a song’s first to its most recent week at No. 1: two years and three weeks [Dec. 21, 2019-Jan. 8, 2022]).

Concurrently, on the Radio Songs chart, “As It Was” has led for six weeks over a span of 19 weeks, tying for the second-longest span of a song ranking at No. 1. The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” ruled for 26 weeks over a stretch of 28 weeks (2020), while “As It Was” matches the No. 1 span of Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” which led for 18 weeks out of 19 (1998).

Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” holds at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, led by 35 million in airplay audience (up 7%) and 19.6 million streams (down 2%). It leads the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a fourth week each and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a third frame each, having become the first song to rule all five lists (dating to October 2012, when Billboard‘s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100’s methodology).

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” rebounds 7-3 on the Hot 100, four weeks after it soared in at the summit. It returns for a second week at No. 1, from No. 3, on Streaming Songs (19.8 million, up 6%) and resurges 4-2 on Digital Song Sales (14,000, up 130%), helped by the Sept. 9 release of its “Queen Mix,” adding JT, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V and Maliibu Miitch. The track also tops the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a fifth week.

Nicky Youre and dazy’s “Sunroof” holds at its No. 4 Hot 100 high and Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, climbs 6-5 for a new best. Post Malone notches his eighth top five Hot 100 hit, and first since “Circles,” which led for three weeks in 2019-20, while Doja Cat claims her third and first since “Kiss Me More” (No. 3 peak, July 2021).

Morgan Wallen returns to his highest Hot 100 rank, as “You Proof” jumps 10-6, its peak first set upon its debut on the May 28-dated chart. Aided by the Sept. 9 premiere of its official video, the song gained by 6% to 16.4 million streams in the tracking week and 13% to 5,000 sold, as well as 13% to 30.4 million in radio reach. It concurrently rules the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a fifth week. Wallen first hit a No. 6 Hot 100 high with the launch of “7 Summers” in August 2020.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” descends 5-7, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in late July; OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” keeps at its No. 8 high; Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” falls from its No. 3 peak to No. 9 (boosted the week before by the arrival of new options for purchase); and Future’s “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems, returns to the region, lifting 11-10, following a week at No. 1 in its debut frame in May.

Plus: NAV, Ozzy Osbourne, Kane Brown and Yeat debut in top 10, while YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s ‘Realer 2’ vaults 71-6 after first full chart week.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti holds at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Sept. 24), notching an 11th nonconsecutive week atop the list. That marks the most total weeks at No. 1 in nearly six years, since Drake’s Views logged 13 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2016 (May 21-Oct. 8 charts).

Un Verano Sin Ti earned 97,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. (down 3%) in the week ending Sept. 15, according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, NAV’s Demons Protected by Angels debuts at No. 2, Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9 arrives at No. 3, Kane Brown’s Different Man starts at No. 5, YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Realer 2 jumps 71-6 after its first full charting week and Yeat’s Lyfe bows 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 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 24, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Sept. 20). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Un Verano Sin Ti’s 97,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 94,000 (down 3%, equaling 131.66 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 2,000 (down 10%) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 3%).

NAV collects his fifth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as Demons Protected by Angels starts at No. 2 with 67,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 40,500 (equaling 60.13 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 26,000 and TEA units comprise 500. The album features guest turns from the likes of Future, Gunna, Lil Durk, Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott.

Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9 arrives at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, scoring the rock legend his ninth top 10-charting set. The album launches with 56,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 52,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart — Osbourne’s first No. 1 on that 31-year-old chart), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.64 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.  

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album falls 2-4 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units earned (though up 5%).

Kane Brown logs his fourth top 10 effort on the Billboard 200 as Different Man debuts at No. 5 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 23,000 (equaling 31 million official on-demand streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 20,000 and TEA units comprise 3,000.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Realer 2 vaults from No. 71 to No. 6 in its first full chart week, earning 39,000 equivalent album units (up 222%) in the week ending Sept. 15. The album was initially released to stream on YouTube on Sept. 6, and then went wide to all streamers midday Sept. 7. Thus, its debut on the Billboard 200 dated Sept. 17 at No. 71 (with 12,000 units in the week ending Sept. 8) was prompted by only two days of activity across all streaming services, along with three days of activity from YouTube. (Though the album is available to purchase — only as a digital download — it has sold a negligible number of copies.)

In total, Realer 2 is YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s 11th top 10-charting album, and fourth top 10 of 2022. He’s the only act with four (or three!) new top 10s this year. Realer 2 follows his previous 2022 top 10s The Last Slimeto (No. 2, Aug. 20-dated chart), Better Than You (a collaborative set with DaBaby, No. 10, March 19 chart) and Colors (No. 2, Feb. 5 chart).

A trio of former No. 1s are next up on the Billboard 200, as Harry Styles’ Harry’s House dips 5-7 (38,000 equivalent album units; down 12%), Beyoncé’s Renaissance falls 6-8 (37,000; down 9%) and Rod Wave’s Beautiful Mind descends 7-9 (32,000; down 11%).

Yeat closes out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, as Lyfe debuts at No. 10 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned. SEA units comprise essentially all of that sum, equaling 42.08 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs. It’s the second top 10 effort for Yeat, who previously visited the top 10 with 2 Alive in 2022 (No. 6 on the March 5 chart).

Plus, OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” hits the Hot 100’s top 10, jumping 14-8.

Harry Styles‘ “As It Was” posts a 13th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Meanwhile, Styles’ follow-up single, “Late Night Talking,” with both songs from his album Harry’s House, surges from No. 12 to a new No. 3 Hot 100 high, following the arrival of new versions of “Talking” made available for purchase in the tracking week. Styles becomes the first artist with two songs in the chart’s top three spots simultaneously this year.

“As It Was” concurrently returns to No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart after a 13-week break, the longest between reigns for a song in the list’s history.

Plus, OneRepublic‘s “I Ain’t Worried” jumps from No. 14 to No. 8 on the Hot 100, marking the band’s fourth top 10 and first since 2014. The Ryan Tedder-fronted act also becomes the latest to have notched top 10s in the 2000s, ’10s and ’20s, and one of just three groups to earn the honor.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Sept. 17, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 13). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“As It Was,” released on Erskine/Columbia Records, tallied 68.4 million radio airplay audience impressions (down 2%), 15.8 million streams (up 3%) and 3,000 downloads sold (down 13%) in the Sept. 2-8 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The single rebounds from No. 2 for a fifth week atop Radio Songs; rises 7-5 on Streaming Songs, after two weeks on top starting in its debut week in April; and drops 19-21 on Digital Song Sales, following a week in charge in May.

13 Weeks, 13 Songs
“As It Was” becomes one of just 13 songs in the Hot 100’s history, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception, to reign for at least 13 weeks. It boasts the longest command since Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, ruled for a record 19 weeks in 2019.

Most Weeks Ever in Hot 100’s Top Two
“As It Was” breaks the record for the most weeks spent in the Hot 100’s top two positions, having logged 22 of its 23 weeks on the chart in the top two, from its April 16 debut through the newest, Sept. 17-dated survey.

Most Weeks in the Hot 100’s Top Two:
22, “As It Was,” Harry Styles, beginning April 16, 2022 (13 weeks at No. 1, 9 weeks at No. 2)
21, “Stay,” The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber, Aug. 14, 2021 (7, 14)
19, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, April 13, 2019 (19, 0)
18, “Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Jan. 17, 2015 (14, 4)
17, “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, May 27, 2017 (16, 1)

The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” added its 21st week in the Hot 100’s top two on the chart dated this April 9 – with Columbia having released the songs with the three longest runs in the Hot 100’s top two ranks, all since 2019.

No. 1 for 13 Weeks Over 23 Weeks
“As It Was” has now placed atop the Hot 100 for 13 weeks over a span of 23 weeks, from its debut through the current chart. (In its other 10 weeks on the list, it ranked at, as noted above, No. 2 for nine weeks, plus No. 3 for one frame.) The song extends the longest span of a title topping the tally in a single release cycle. (Overall, Mariah Carey’s 1994 carol “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds the record for the longest stretch from a song’s first to its most recent week at No. 1: two years and three weeks [Dec. 21, 2019-Jan. 8, 2022]).

Record Return to No. 1 on Radio Songs
On the Radio Songs chart, “As It Was” rebounds to No. 1 after 13 weeks between Nos. 2 and 3, during which Jack Harlow’s “First Class” led for four frames and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” ruled for nine. That’s easily the longest break between stints at the summit for a title since Radio Songs began in December 1990, surpassing three songs that each logged three-week gaps between No. 1 stays, most recently Drake’s “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, in 2016.

Before that, two songs traded turns atop Radio Songs over 12 weeks in 2001, for three blocks at a time each: Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’ ” (Aug. 18-Sept. 1; Sept. 29-Oct. 13) and Jennifer Lopez’s “I’m Real,” featuring Ja Rule (Sept. 8-22; Oct. 20-Nov. 3). (Billboard‘s “Between the Bullets” column in the Oct. 20, 2001, issue dubbed the run of hand-offs a “hip-hop flip-flop.”)

With “As It Was” having first led Radio Songs beginning on the May 21 chart, as well as on the lists dated May 28, June 4 and 11 and now Sept. 17, it has reigned over a span of 18 weeks, the third-longest stretch of a song ranking at No. 1, after The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” which ruled for 26 weeks over a span of 28 weeks (2020), and Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” which led for 18 weeks over a 19-week span (1998).

Talking ‘Talking’
Meanwhile, Styles’ “Late Night Talking” surges 12-3 on the Hot 100, besting its previous No. 4 peak set upon its June 4 debut, concurrent that week with the No. 1 Billboard 200 launch of parent LP Harry’s House (with 521,000 equivalent album units, the largest week for an album this year).

“Talking” holds at its No. 4 high on Radio Songs (62 million, up 3%) and bounds 40-28 on Streaming Songs (9.2 million, up 8%), while sporting a 731% gain to 15,000 sold, digital and physical singles combined, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Sales Gainer award. On Sept. 2, the song was released in Styles’ official webstore with new digital artwork, along with an instrumental version for download (both for the standard $1.29) and the original version on cassette ($17.98), 7-inch vinyl ($15.98) and CD ($10.98).

Thanks to “As It Was” and “Talking,” Styles is the first artist this year to claim two of the Hot 100’s top three in a single week, and the first since Drake dominated with a record nine simultaneous top 10s, including the entire top five, on the Sept. 18, 2021, chart.

Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” holds at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, as it posts a fourth week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (20 million, down 2%) and earns the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer nod (32.8 million, up 19%). It also leads the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a third week each and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a second frame each, a week after it became the first song to rule all five lists (dating to October 2012, when Billboard‘s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100’s methodology).

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top five, Nicky Youre and dazy’s “Sunroof” rises 5-4 for a new best and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” descends 3-5, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in late July.

Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, climbs 8-6 for a new Hot 100 high and Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” repeats at No. 7, three weeks after it roared in at No. 1, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a fourth week.

OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” charges 14-8 on the Hot 100, with 39.4 million in radio airplay audience (up 4%), 12.8 million streams (up 7%) and 6,000 sold (down 8%).

The band notches its fourth Hot 100 top 10 and first since 2014, when “Counting Stars” hit No. 2. The group also reached No. 8 with “Good Life” (2011) and No. 2 as featured on its breakthrough hit “Apologize” by Timbaland (2007). OneRepublic becomes the 18th act with top 10s in the 2000s, ’10s and ’20s – and one of just three groups in those ranks, joining Coldplay and Maroon 5. (A week earlier, Britney Spears added her name to the list of all such acts with the debut of her and Elton John’s “Hold Me Closer”).

“Worried” is the first Hot 100 top 10 from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack, released in May; the set’s “Hold My Hand” by Lady Gaga reached No. 49 in June, as well as No. 2 on Digital Song Sales and No. 33 on Radio Songs. (The original Top Gun soundtrack yielded Berlin’s No. 1 ballad “Take My Breath Away,” which led the list dated Sept. 13, 1986, plus Kenny Loggins’ No. 2-peaking “Danger Zone” and Loverboy’s No. 12 hit “Heaven in Your Eyes” the same year.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” falls 4-9, after hitting No. 3, and Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” re-enters the region, rising 13-10, after it debuted at its No. 6 high on the May 28 chart; the latter leads the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth week.

Plus: Megadeth and Romeo Santos’ latest efforts debut in top 10, while Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” breaks a longevity record.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated Sept. 17 (rising 2-1) for a 10th nonconsecutive week atop the list. It now solely has the most weeks at No. 1 in 2022, surpassing the nine weeks logged by the Encanto soundtrack. Further, Un Verano Sin Ti has the most weeks at No. 1 in over a year, since Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album spent 10 weeks (all consecutive, from its debut) at No. 1 (Jan. 23-March 27, 2021, charts).

Un Verano Sin Ti earned 99,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. (down 6%) in the week ending Sept. 8, according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Megadeth notches its eighth top 10 with the No. 3 debut of The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!, while Romeo Santos earns his fourth top 10 with the No. 10 bow of Fórmula, Vol. 3. Plus, Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album breaks the record for the most weeks in the top 10 among albums by a singular artist, as it clocks an 86th nonconsecutive week in the region.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Sept. 13). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Un Verano Sin Ti’s 99,500 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 96,000 (down 6%, equaling 135.41 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 3,000 (down 6%) and TEA units comprise 500 (down 5%).

Since 2000, only nine albums — including Un Verano Sin Ti — have notched at least 10 weeks at No. 1. (Among those is Santana’s Supernatural, which captured a total of 12 weeks at No. 1 — three in 1999 and nine in 2000.)

*through the Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart.

Un Verano Sin Ti debuted at No. 1 on the May 21-dated Billboard 200 and has yet to depart the top two rungs of the chart for its entire 18-week run on the list thus far. Since August of 1963, when Billboard combined its separate stereo and mono album charts into one single album chart, Un Verano Sin Ti is the first album to spend its first 18 weeks on the chart in the top two. (See more history on the Billboard 200, which began publishing as a regular, weekly fixture in March of 1956.)

Previously, Drake’s Views spent its first 17 weeks in the top two, on the May 21-Sept. 10, 2016-dated charts.

Un Verano Sin Ti has bounced between Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard 200 for a total of six distinct visits to the No. 1 slot. See list, below.

Billboard 200 Chart Date, Rank
May 21, No. 1 (Debut)
May 28, No. 2
June 4, No. 2
June 11, No. 2
June 18, No. 1

Aug. 20, No. 1
Aug. 27, No. 2
Sept. 3, No. 1
Sept. 10, No. 2
Sept. 17, No. 1

Meanwhile, Un Verano Sin Ti is the first album with six separate visits to No. 1 since Adele’s 21 had 10 distinct stays at No. 1 in 2011-12, for a total of 24 weeks atop the list. It debuted at No. 1 on the  March 12, 2011-dated list and notched its final week atop the chart on June 23, 2012.

Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album climbs 5-2 on the new Billboard 200, with 48,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%).

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 86 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and breaks the record for the most weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart among albums by a singular artist — since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956. It surpasses the 85 weeks logged in the top 10 by Peter, Paul and Mary’s self-titled album in 1962-64.

However, there are seven albums that have more weeks in the top 10 than Dangerous — and all are multi-artist soundtracks and cast recordings, led by the all-time top 10 record holder, the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. See list, below.

Albums With Most Weeks in Top 10 on Billboard 200 Chart (March 24, 1956-onwards)

(through the Sept. 17, 2022-dated chart.) 

Megadeth’s The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, notching the rock band its eighth top 10-charting album. The set launches with nearly 48,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 45,000, SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 3.6 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a neglible sum.

Megadeth scored its first top 10 on the Billboard 200 a little more than 30 years ago, when Countdown to Extinction debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Aug. 1, 1992-dated chart. The act has since visited the top 10 with Youthanasia (No. 4, 1994), Cryptic Writings (No. 10, 1997), United Abominations (No. 8, 2007), Endgame (No. 9, 2009), Super Collider (No. 6, 2013), Dystopia (No. 3, 2016) and The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!
