Ed Sheeran creeps closer to his next No. 1, and Lizzo and Cardi debut at No. 4.

“Stay” by the kid LAROI and Justin Bieber holds off Ed Sheeran to staaaaay at No. 1 for a fourth week. Interestingly, even though it’s a collab, it’s Bieber’s longest-running No. 1 as a lead artist (he’s a featured artist on “Despacito”). 

The top 10 feels so stagnant in this era. Not a ton of turnover, so things like “Levitating” and “Blinding Lights” can stick around the upper reaches of the Hot 100 for a better part of a year or more.

[Faulkner]

Annnnnd “Butter” is back at No. 1, a tenth week in total, on the back of a Megan Thee Stallion remix. A couple of Kanye’s Donda tracks made the top 10. Drake’s new album will probably blow the chart out next week.

 

[Faulkner]

Drake is looking like he’ll have 11 of Billboard’s top 12 with just tracks from Certified Lover Boy. Dude’s a streaming behemoth.

 

He’d have 54 top 10 hits total if these predictions come to pass, 16 more than Madonna, who now has the second-most in history.

Point and case why the Hot 100 is so damn irrelevant.

Another week at No. 1 for “Stay” (sixth week). Lil Nas X scores three top 10s off the back of his album release.
