Another week at No. 1 for “Heat Waves”:

 

“Heat Waves” is No. 1 for a third week. To show how stale these charts are, “Stay” (which first topped the Hot 100 way back in AUGUST) is back at No. 2:

 

“Heat Waves” is No. 1 for a fourth week, making it the first single by a British group to reach that milestone since the Spice Girls with “Wannabe” in 1997:

 

 

Harry Styles ends Glass Animals No. 1 run, with his new “As It Was” debuting atop the charts. It’s his second chart-topper after “Watermelon Sugar”:

Jack Harlow debuts at No. 1 with his Fergie-sampling “First Class.” He previously topped the chart with “Industry Baby,” his collab with Lil Nas X:

 

Harry is back at No. 1:

 

Harry No. 1 again:

 

Future and Drake dethrone Harry. Drake now has 10 No. 1s in a tie with Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder. He also passes Ariana Grande and BTS for most No. 1 debuts with six.

 

Drake is the third artist not from the United States to reach 10 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100, behind The Beatles (20) and Rihanna (14).

I can't believe Drake has more #1s than Usher.

Jack Harlow is back at No. 1, Lizzo is back in the top 10, and Bad Bunny has flooded the top 10 with four entries:

Harry back at No. 1 (with four total in the top 10) after the release of Harry’s House:

 

Early projections suggest that Kate Bush will score her first U.S. top 10 hit with “Running Up That Hill,” which is resurgent 37 years after its initial release due to its prominent use in the latest season of Stranger Things.
