“Pink Pony Club” earned 38.1 million in airplay audience, 15.1 million streams, and 6,000 sold during its latest week on the Billboard Hot 100, rising from No. 9 to No. 5. It thus became Roan’s first song from The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess to enter the top five and third overall, after “Good Luck, Babe!” and “The Giver”.

“Pink Pony Club” was initially released in 2020, and later made its way to Roan’s debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess from 2023. It became a sleeper hit in the wake of Roan’s rising popularity, especially after she delivered memorable performances during her appearances on Saturday Night Live and the 2025 Grammy Awards.

As for the rest of the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” returned to the top spot for its sixth total and consecutive week. It’s followed by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” at No. 2, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at No. 3, and Morgan Wallen’s “Just in Case” debuting at No. 4.

Doechii originally performed “Anxiety” in a music session on her YouTube channel in 2019, but it took years for its studio version to see the light of day. She addressed her fans by writing, “Swamp, I heard y’all loud n clear!” and shared a visualizer that features two mirrored black-and-white images of herself, connected by her braids.

The song samples Gotye’s megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” ft. Kimbra, and it started trending on TikTok in recent weeks, inspiring Doechii to seize the moment and drop it as a single. A sample of “Anxiety” was previously featured on Sleepy Hallow’s track of the same name from 2023.

Doechii didn’t have a huge following when “Anxiety” was first released, but her fans rediscovered it as her star rose in recent months. She made quite a splash with her latest mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which won her a Grammy Award for the best rap album and produced hit singles “Nissan Altima” and “Denial Is a River”.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars dropped “Die With a Smile” back in August and released several different versions in an attempt to help it reach No. 1. After facing tough competition, especially during the holiday season, they spent four consecutive weeks at the runner-up spot before climbing to No. 1.

“Die With a Smile” accumulated 59.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, 27.1 million official streams, and 6,000 in sales during its latest week on the chart. It’s Mars’ ninth song to Hit No. 1 and Gaga’s sixth, helping her become the third artist to achieve multiple No. 1s in three different decades following Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson.

Before finally climbing to No. 1 in the US, “Die With a Smile” found enormous success worldwide. It spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, becoming the second longest-reigning song of 2024 behind another Mars collaboration, “Apt.” with Rosé. It’s currently in the running for two Grammy Awards – song of the year and best pop duo/group performance.

The race between “Birds of a Feather” and “Espresso” was pretty tight, but Eilish managed to overtake Carpenter on the last day of the year. According to the X (formerly known as Twitter) account Chart Data, only 650,000 streams separate the songs. “Birds of a Feather” crossed 1,775,000,000 streams, while “Espresso” is still around 500,000 streams away from reaching that mark.

“Birds of a Feather” was released as the second single from Eilish’s latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft, and it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Eilish first previewed it through a teaser trailer for the Netflix series Heartstopper and released it as a single after it became a huge hit on social media.

“Birds of a Feather” will be in the running for several awards at this year’s Grammys, including song of the year, record of the year, and best pop solo performance. Eilish is in the running for seven awards overall, including album of the year and best pop vocal album with Hit Me Hard and Soft.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” totaled 70.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, 21.2 million official streams, and 5,000 copies sold during its latest week on the chart, easily snagging the No. 1 spot. Even before this week came around, Shaboozey had the longest-running number-one song of the year, and he’s not done breaking records.

With 17 weeks spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the longest-running No. 1 single by a solo artist, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”. The all-time record is still held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” ft. Billy Ray Cyrus, which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was released as a single from Shaboozey’s latest studio album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and it helped him break into the mainstream. He received five nominations at this year’s Grammy Awards, including best new artist, plus song of the year, best country song, and best country solo performance with his breakout hit.

“Taste” is Carpenter’s third chart-topper this year in the UK, following the success of “Espresso” and “Please Please Please”. These songs spent multiple weeks at No. 1, helping her score her 16th week at No. 1 this year, breaking the record previously held by Olivia Rodrigo.

This is the most weeks spent at No. 1 for a solo female artist, but Olivia Newton-John also managed to spend 16 weeks in 1978 as part of her “Grease” duets with John Travolta, “You’re The One That I Want” (nine weeks) and “Summer Nights” (six weeks).

“Taste” was released as the third single from Carpenter’s latest album Short n’ Sweet, and they both hit the shelves on August 23. This album debuted at No. 1 in both the United Kingdom and the United States, in addition to topping the charts all around the world, and “Bed Chem” has recently been sent to the radio stations as its fourth single.

The Weeknd captioned his new video with a Friedrich Nietzsche quote, “When you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you…” The dreamy visual shows a kid trying to outrun a dark world he inhabits and make a great escape, while the singer’s new song plays in the background.

“I tried my best to not let you go / I don’t like the view from halfway down / Just promise me that it won’t be so / Will I feel the end? Backed up the ground,” The Weeknd sings in the first song in the video, while the second seems to preview the demo that fans have been referring to as “Hold Your Heart”.

The Weeknd shared this snippet just a few days after dropping another teaser filled with After Hours/Dawn FM references, which he captioned by writing, “There are three chapters in this tale.” He also recently announced a one-night show in São Paulo, Brazil taking place on September 7.

After sharing several snippets of “Women’s World” on social media in recent weeks, she dropped the Charlotte Rutherford-directed visual on July 11. The singer wears Rosie the Riveter-inspired outfit throughout the video, drives a monster truck with Trisha Paytas, and tries to do a TikTok dance with a young woman before flying away on a helicopter.

“Women’s World” has been released as the lead single from Perry’s upcoming album 143 and she released an EP with several different versions of the song in an attempt to increase its chart success. This strategy doesn’t seem to be working after many critics described “Women’s World” as outdated and reductive, but Perry defended herself by describing it as satirical.

“Women’s World” set the stage for her upcoming album 143, and its title is inspired by her lucky number which stands as a code for “I love you.” She described it as a dance party that everyone’s invited to and announced it’s hitting the shelves on September 20 via Capitol Records.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was released back in April, as one of the singles from his album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. It’s been steadily climbing up the chart for almost two months and went platinum in the US with 2,000,000 certified units.

After sitting in the top ten for a week and peaking at No. 2, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” finally reached new heights during its latest week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It soared to No. 1 with 60 million radio airplay audience impressions, 44.8 million official streams, and 23,000 copies sold.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is Shaboozey’s first song to ever hit No. 1, and this is just one of many firsts. It’s also the first song to ever go to the top ten on all four Billboard radio charts: Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay, reaching crossover success. Shaboozey is also the first male Black artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs chart, and second overall to achieve this feat following Beyoncé with “Texas Hold ‘Em”.

Carpenter scored her best streaming week for a song with 50.9 million official streams, but 3.2 million radio airplay audience impressions and 7,000 sold copies also helped “Please Please Please” rise to No. 1. It also topped Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for its second week in a row.

The success of “Please Please Please” can be credited to several versions that Carpenter released to help it rise through the ranks. The original song hit the shelves on June 6, and it was quickly followed by acoustic, a cappella, instrumental, sped-up, and slowed-down versions.

“Please Please Please” replaces Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” ft. Morgan Wallen at No. 1, while the rest of the top five includes Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at No. 3, Carpenter’s own “Espresso” at No. 4, and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” at No. 5.

“Please Please Please” will be featured on Carpenter’s upcoming album Short n’ Sweet, set to be released via Island Records on August 23.
