Gracie Abrams is crowned on the latest ARIA Albums Chart with Daughter From Hell (via Interscope/Universal), which opens its account at No. 1.
The week’s best-seller on vinyl, Daughter From Hell is the second leader for the U.S. singer and songwriter after The Secret Of Us, which logged three weeks at the summit in 2024-25. Her debut studio album, Good Riddance, managed an Australian chart best of No. 30 in 2023.
Daughter From Hell ousts Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (Geffen/Universal), down 1-2, while Olivia Dean completes an all-female top three with The Art of Loving (Universal), up 4-3.
Meanwhile, U.S. metalcore act Motionless in White opens at No. 5 on the ARIA Chart with Decades (Roadrunner/Warner), their seventh studio album. That’s Motionless in White’s career high and first appearance in the top 10, besting the No. 14 peak for 2022’s Scoring The End Of The World.
Also new to the chart is viral U.S. singer, songwriter and producer Steve Lacy with Oh Yeah (RCA/Sony), new at No. 19. Close behind is Holly Hebe’s Mood Ring (GYRO Music), new at No. 23 for the top-ranked Australian album on the latest frame, published Friday, July 24. Mood Ring is the Melbourne singer’s third EP and first stint on an ARIA Chart.
Swapmeet, an indie band hailing from Adelaide, Australia, enjoys a top 30 start with their debut album release, Mount Zero (Winspear), new at No. 26, while Liverpool, England metalcore merchants Loathe start at No. 28 with A Stranger To You (Nuclear Blast/ADA).
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Ella Langley’s four-times platinum hit “Choosin’ Texas” (Sony Music) enters a seventh non-consecutive week at the top. Langley also impacts the chart with “Weren’t For The Wind” (down 32-36) and “Be Her” (down 40-41).
Female artists lock-up the singles chart podium, too. Olivia Dean’s five-times platinum “Man I Need” (Universal) holds at No. 2 while Dean’s collaboration with fellow Brit Sam Fender, “Rein Me In” (Dew Process/Universal), is unchanged at No. 3.
The Rolling Stones achieve their first No. 1 on Billboard’s 35-year-old Top Album Sales chart, as the band’s new studio album Foreign Tongues starts atop the list (dated July 25).
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on pure album sales (physical and digital download purchases combined). The chart’s history dates to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
On the Billboard 200, Foreign Tongues debuts at No. 7, extending the Stones’ own record for the most top 10s (with 39) since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956. After the Stones, Barbra Streisand ranks second with 34 Billboard 200 top 10s, followed by Frank Sinatra with 33.
Foreign Tongues takes a bow in the top 10 on six total U.S. Billboard album charts: Top Album Sales (No. 1), Billboard 200 (No. 7), Top Rock Albums (No. 2), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 3), Vinyl Albums (No. 3) and Indie Store Album Sales (No. 3).
Foreign Tongues leads a busy top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart, where the Heated Rivalry soundtrack debuts at No. 3, while My Chemical Romance’s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys reenters at No. 3 after its deluxe reissue (all versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes). YEONJUN’s NO LABELS: PART 02 starts at No. 4, while Madonna’s CONFESSIONS II falls to No. 5 in its second week after debuting atop the list.
Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love dips 3-6, Jack White’s Frozen Charlotte starts at No. 7 and ATEEZ’s former No. 1 GOLDEN HOUR : PART.5 descends 2-8. Rounding out the top 10: Future’s The Real Me enters at No. 9 while Michael Jackson’s Thriller falls 5-10.
Maluma adds another Billboard Tropical Airplay chart champ to his résumé as “Tu Recuerdo” ascends 2-1 on the chart dated July 25, marking his fifth career leader and the second No. 1 from the album Loco X Volver.
The champ, released on PARIS LG/Sony Music Latin, trades places with Romeo Santos and Prince Royce’s “Dardos,” as the latter slides to No. 2 after seven weeks in charge.
“Tu Recuerdo” is the second ruler from Maluma’s seventh studio album Loco X Volver, following “1+1,” with Kany García, which became his first salsa No. 1 among his five coronations on Tropical Airplay. His featured turn on Elvis Crespo’s merengue “Ole Brazil,” marked his first No. 1 on the tally in 2014.
“Tu Recuerdo” reaches No. 1 with 5.4 million audience impressions, up 6%, earned across the tropical-reporting stations in the United States during the tracking week ending July 16, according to Luminate.
The song is the second by a core Latin rhythmic artist to top Tropical Airplay in 2026, following Arcángel’s merengue cut “Hoy Se Guaya,” which led for a week in June. Adding on, Maluma becomes one of only three solo acts, with no accompanying billed artist, to reach No. 1 among the chart’s eight leaders this year, joining Arcángel and Carlos Vives, whose “Te Dedico” ruled for three weeks between May and June.
Beyond its Tropical Airplay success, “Tu Recuerdo” earns Maluma a 34th top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, with a 13-10 jump.
The track also climbs to a new No. 2 high on Hot Tropical Songs and rises 40-37 on Hot Latin Songs. Both tallies combine radio airplay, streaming data and digital sales into their formulas.
Fresh off its reign atop the Billboard Global 200 and its spotlight turn during the World Cup’s first-ever halftime show, Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” adds another win as it vaults 4-1 on the Latin Airplay chart (dated July 25).
The rise delivers Shakira her 25th No. 1 and hands Burna Boy a chart-topper in his first visit.
With “Dai Dai” atop Latin Airplay, Shakira extends her record for the most No. 1s among women in the chart’s 32-year history (J Balvin remains the overall leader with 40 chart-toppers). “Dai Dai” reaches the summit with a 25% gain in audience impressions, to 7.3 million, across the 152 Latin-reporting stations in the United States during the July 10-16 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“Dai Dai” marks Shakira’s return to the summit after more than a year, following the one-week reign of “Soltera” in January 2025. The latter became her first coronation as a solo artist dating to “Loba” in late 2009.
Notably, Burna Boy breaks into the No. 1 spot on any Latin chart coming his first try. The Nigerian singer-songwriter first reached a Billboard ranking through L.I.F.E.: Leaving An Impact For Eternity which hit the top 10 of the Reggae Albums chart. Adding to his overall achievements, “Dai” becomes his second chart-topper of 2026, following his featured run on Gunna’s “wgft,” which led Rhythmic Airplay for four weeks in January.
Since its Billboard debut, “Dai Dai” has collected 10 No. 1s worldwide, now adding Latin Airplay to its list of chart-topping achievements. The song’s global momentum began soon after its premiere at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico City on June 11.
Here’s a breakdown of “Dai Dai’s” Billboard No. 1s across the globe, by peak date:
Peak Date, Chart, Weeks at No. 1
June 27, Billboard Colombia Hot 100, four
June 27, Switzerland Songs, four
July 4, Billboard Global Excl. U.S., three
July 4, Austria Songs, two
July 11, Billboard Argentina Hot 100, one
July 11, Luxembourg Songs, two
July 18, Billboard Global 200, two
July 18, Germany Songs, one
July 18, Belgium Songs, one
July 25, Latin Airplay, one
“Dai Dai’s” chart domination may continue, even though the World Cup concluded on July 19. Its World Cup final halftime-show performance took place on July 19, during the July 17-23 tracking week, which could lift airplay, streams, and sales globally. At the same time, the song may begin to lose momentum with the final four days of the current tracking period falling after the tournament’s close.

The soundtrack to the hit TV series Heated Rivalry debuts at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated July 25) following the release of its CD and vinyl editions on July 10. It debuts with 41,000 equivalent album units (all from album sales) earned in the United States in the week ending July 17, according to Luminate.
It also debuts atop the Vinyl Albums, Indie Store Album Sales and Soundtracks charts, and at No. 2 on Top Album Sales. All charts dated July 25 will post to Billboard’s website on July 21.
Heated Rivalry marks the first soundtrack from a TV series to debut in the Billboard 200 top 10 in more than a decade. The last was the season 1 soundtrack to Fox’s Empire in 2015, which debuted at No. 1. Since Empire, the only other TV series soundtrack to reach the top 10 was the season 2 soundtrack of Prime Video’s animated hit Hazbin Hotel, which peaked at No. 8, after debuting at No. 70 a week earlier, in 2025. (There have been non-series TV soundtracks that have debuted in the top 10 in that span, including Disney Channel’s Descendants 3 movie in 2019.)
The Heated Rivalry soundtrack was issued physically on two color vinyl variants and a two-CD set. The vinyl releases contain songs featured in the show (including t.A.T.u.’s “All the Things She Said,” Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything” and Feist’s “My Moon My Man”), along with highlights of Peter Peter’s original score for the series. The CD edition expands the track list to include Peter Peter’s full score alongside the songs. Both the vinyl and CD pressings include a fold-out posters and liner notes by show creator Jacob Tierney, while the vinyl also houses a pair of collectible trading cards.
The vinyl editions of Heated Rivalry sold a combined 28,000 copies in its opening week — the largest sales week on vinyl for a soundtrack in 2026.
Heated Rivalry premiered on the Canadian streamer Crave on Nov. 28, 2025 and debuted the same day in the United States on HBO Max. The show stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as hockey rivals Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, who navigate a secret romance. The series was adapted from Rachel Reid’s hit Game Changers book series. Its six-episode first season concluded on Dec. 26. The show has been renewed for a second season.
Future returns with another major week on Billboard’s charts (dated July 25), thanks to his album The Real Me.
Released July 10 via Sahluna/Freebandz/Epic Records, the set debuts atop the Billboard 200 with 131,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States through July 16, according to Luminate. Future earns his 12th No. 1, lifting him past Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Ye for the fifth-most in the chart’s history. The Beatles lead with 19, followed by Drake, Taylor Swift (15 each) and Jay-Z (14).
On the Billboard Hot 100, 17 tracks from The Real Me’s 22-song setlist appear, led by “California Girls” at No. 23. Here’s a breakdown (with all debuts unless otherwise noted):
Rank, Title:
No. 23, “California Girls”
No. 28, “Fukk a Interview”
No. 29, “Konnichiwa”
No. 33, “One Two”
No. 37, “Tank Top Pluto”
No. 38, “Snow In Skyami”
No. 46, “Radio” (re-entry; new high)
No. 48, “Weight Up”
No. 52, “Trench Coat”
No. 54, “No Misery”
No. 58, “Build a Bitch”
No. 64, “Money Over Everything”
No. 76, “Off the Hinge”
No. 83, “2018”
No. 93, “If I Could”
No. 97, “Kick”
No. 98, “Eye to Eye”
Future also ranks at No. 61 as a featured artist on Drake’s “Ran to Atlanta,” also featuring Molly Santana. The track debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the May 30-dated chart, when Drake placed a single-week record 42 songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously.
With 16 debuts this week, Future ups his career total to 245 Hot 100 entries, the third-most in the chart’s history, after only Drake (402) and Swift (277). Of those, 83 have reached the top 40, 16 have hit the top 10 and three have hit No. 1: “Way 2 Sexy,” by Drake featuring Future and Young Thug; “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems; and “Like That,” with Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar.
Thanks to his six new top 40 hits this week, Future also increases his career sum to 83 such songs. He passes Elvis Presley and Ye for the fourth-most in Hot 100 history and trails only Drake (241), Swift (178) and Lil Wayne (91).
Notably, Future has charted at least one song on the Hot 100 in 16 consecutive calendar years — every year since his debut in 2011, when he arrived as a featured act on YC’s “Racks,” which peaked at No. 42.
Future also returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart for a sixth total week on top, and for the first time since May 2022.
Future achieves his 12th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as his latest studio release, The Real Me, debuts atop the July 25-dated list. With a dozen leaders, Future now solely stands as the rap act with the third-most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.
Among all acts with the most No. 1s, Future pushes ahead of Eminem (with 11), while the only acts with more No. 1s are The Beatles (19), Drake, Taylor Swift (both with 15) and JAY-Z (14).
The Real Me launches with 131,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending July 16, according to Luminate, with the lion’s share of that sum driven by streaming activity.
The Real Me was announced on June 15, with its release date of July 9 shared 10 days later. It’s lead single, “Radio,” dropped on June 26 and has hit the top 25 on both Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The new set is the hip-hop star’s first project since his pair of No. 1 albums with Metro Boomin in 2024: We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart, The Rolling Stones extend their record for the most top 10s as Foreign Tongues debuts at No. 7, while the Heated Rivalry soundtrack skates in at No. 9 after its release on CD and vinyl.
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 July 25, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 21. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Real Me’s 131,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week, SEA units comprise 118,000 (equaling 120.29 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 13,000 (it debuts at No. 9 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The Real Me was initially released as a standard widely available 11-track download edition, a 13-track vinyl (across four variants, including two signed editions), a 21-track CD (two editions, including a signed version) and a 22-track download and streaming edition.
Five former No. 1s follow Future on the Billboard 200. Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is a non-mover at No. 2 (96,000 equivalent album units earned, down 7%); Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem is up one to No. 3 (73,000, down 2%); Ella Langley’s Dandelion is down a spot to No. 4 (nearly 73,000, down 4%); Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide steps 6-5 (67,000, up 8%); and Drake’s ICEMAN falls 5-6 (61,000, down 10%).
The Rolling Stones extend their record for the most top 10s on the Billboard 200 albums chart as the band’s latest studio project, Foreign Tongues, debuts at No. 7, marking the legendary act’s 39th top 10. It starts with 53,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 48,500 (it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 4.48 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across more than a dozen vinyl variants, four CD editions, two download editions and one cassette.
Foreign Tongues follows the Stones’ last new studio set, Hackney Diamonds, which debuted and peaked at No. 3 in 2023. The new album was preceded the radio-promoted single “In the Stars,” which has reached No. 14 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.
After the Stones, Barbra Streisand ranks second with 34 Billboard 200 top 10s, followed by Frank Sinatra with 33.
Michael Jackson’s chart-topping Thriller is a non-mover on the latest Billboard 200, holding at No. 8 with 41,000 equivalent album units (down 3%).
The soundtrack to the hit TV series Heated Rivalry debuts at No. 9 following the release of its CD and vinyl editions on July 9. It debuts with 41,000 equivalent album units earned (all in album sales; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales).
Heated Rivalry marks the first soundtrack from a TV series to debut in the Billboard 200 top 10 in more than a decade. The last was the season-one soundtrack to Fox’s Empire in 2015, which debuted at No. 1. Since Empire, the only other TV series soundtrack to reach the top 10 was the season-two soundtrack of Prime Video’s animated hit Hazbin Hotel, which peaked at No. 8, after debuting at No. 70 a week earlier, in 2025.
Heated Rivalry premiered on Canadian streamer Crave on Nov. 28, 2025, and debuted the same day in the United States on HBO Max. Its six-episode first season concluded on Dec. 26. The show has been renewed for a second season.
The soundtrack was issued physically on two vinyl variants and a two-CD set. The vinyl releases contain songs featured in the show (including t.A.T.u.’s “All the Things She Said,” Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything” and Feist’s “My Moon My Man”), along with highlights of Peter Peter’s original score for the series. The CD edition expands the tracklist to include Peter Peter’s full score alongside the songs.
Closing out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 is Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time, rising 11-10 with 37,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2%).

Olivia Rodrigo returns to the crest of the ARIA Albums Chart, as You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love (Geffen/Universal) enters a fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1.
Rodrigo rumbles with, and wins, her chart battle with the Rolling Stones, as the legendary British rock band drops in at No. 2 with Foreign Tongues (Polydor/Universal), their 25th studio album. It’s the Stones’ sixth top five album since the ARIA Charts launched in 1983, and the followup to 2023’s Hackney Diamonds, which peaked at No. 3.
Prior to the ARIA Charts era, Mick Jagger and Co. topped the leaderboard with Out Of Our Heads (from 1965), Sticky Fingers (1971), Exile On Main Street (1972), Goats Head Soup (1973), It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll (1974), Black and Blue (1976), Some Girls (1978), Emotional Rescue (1980) and Tattoo You (1981).
Closing out the podium on the latest frame, published Friday, July 17, is the soundtrack to Canadian drama Heated Rivalry (Milan Records/Sony), new at No. 3. The collection features Canadian musician Peter Peter and tracks from Wolf Parade, Wet Leg, t.A.T.u. and others, and was released in January of this year, but is boosted by its release on physical formats.
Also new to the chart is Bring Me The Horizon’s Count Your Blessings Repented (RCA/Sony), a re-recording of their debut album, issued to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Count Your Blessings Repented arrives at No. 5. The original didn’t impact the national Australian chart, but the Sheffield, England alternative rockers did go on to land four No. 1s.
The Temper Trap complete their comeback with a top 10 debut for Sungazer (Mushroom Music), the Melbourne indie-rockers’ fourth studio album and first in a decade. It’s new at No. 9. Winners of four-ARIA Awards, TTT now has four consecutive top 10 appearances, including a No. 1 with their self-titled effort from 2012.
Jack White cracks the top 20 with Frozen Charlotte (Third Man Record), his seventh solo studio. It’s new at No. 17, for his best chart position since 2018’s Boarding House Reach went to No. 11. The former White Stripes frontman has a solo best chart position of No. 2, with 2012’s Blunderbuss.
Further down the list is Future’s The Real Me (Epic/Sony) at No. 23; The Plot In You’s self-titled Concord/Universal release at No. 27; Australian rock band The Velvet Club’s Are You Falling In Love? (CMI), new at No. 29; Australian Idol’s 2024 champion Dylan Wright, whose fourth EP Crossroads (Sony) starts at No. 33; Adam Lambert’s Adam (Orchard) at No. 36; and Bella Kay’s My Reckless Abandon (Atlantic/Warner) at No. 38.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” (Sony Music) holds at No. 1 for the sixth non-consecutive week. Langley extends an impressive winning streak for female artists. Indeed, the last male artist to top the tally was Justin Bieber, whose “Daisies” went to No. 1 on the chart published July 25, 2025 – one week shy of a full year ago. No new titles impact the latest frame.
Sienna Spiro scores her first entry on any Billboard album chart, as her debut full-length studio set, Visitor, launches in the top 10 on three rankings (dated July 18). It bows in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 (No. 9), Vinyl Albums (No. 3) and Top Album Sales (No. 4). Visitor follows Spiro’s 2025 EP Sink Now, Swim Later.
Visitor was preceded by a trio of Billboard Hot 100-charting hits from the English singer-songwriter’s album: “The Visitor” (No. 43 peak in March), “You Stole the Show” (No. 55 in February) and “Die on This Hill” (No. 19 in February). The lattermost track is Spiro’s current promoted radio single, which has become a top 10 hit on the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay charts.
Concurrently with Visitor’s album chart arrival, its new single “Great Expectation,” debuts at No. 91 on the Hot 100.
On the Top Album Sales chart, Visitor is one of four debuts in the top 10, where Madonna’s CONFESSIONS II starts atop the tally. Plus, THE 8 and Vernon’s V8 debuts at No. 7 while Deep Purple’s SPLAT! enters at No. 10. ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR : PART.5 falls to No. 2 after debuting in the top slot a week ago, Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love slips 2-4 and Michael Jackson’s Thriller (up 6-5) rounds out the top five.
As for the rest of the holdovers in the top 10, CORTIS’ chart-topping GREENGREEN is up one spot to No. 6, BTS’ former leader ARIRANG is a non-mover at No. 8, Jackson’s Number Ones steps 11-9.

This week: Jay-Z’s triumphant homecoming at Yankee Stadium leads to big catalog gains, while a ’90s Britpop classic eyes some major chart moves, Sienna Spiro has another rapidly growing hit and more.
Jay-Z’s Historic Yankee Stadium Run Doubles ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and ‘Blueprint’ Streams
Over the weekend (July 10-12), Jay-Z made history with a record-breaking run of shows at The Bronx’s Yankee Stadium, celebrating 30 years of his career and Reasonable Doubt debut album, as well as the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint. Featuring an eye-popping list of surprise guests, including Beyoncé, Blue Ivy Carter, Rihanna, Eminem, Jaz-O, Slick Rick, Usher, Jeezy and more, Jay-Z easily dominated social media timelines and news headlines. And the chatter has also turned into legitimate streaming increases.
According to Luminate, streams for the Brooklyn legend’s debut LP jumped 94% to over 2.075 million official streams over the first four days of this tracking week (July 10-13), which accounts for all three sold-out nights of Jay’s Yankee Stadium stand. He dedicated the first night of his mini-residency to Reasonable Doubt, bringing out Beyoncé for a soulful rendition of “Can’t Knock the Hustle” and Nas for “Dead Presidents.”
Night Two was dedicated to The Blueprint, with Jay playing the whole classic album — and bringing Slick Rick out for “The Ruler’s Back” and Eminem for “Renegade” — sans “Takeover.” Before Jay’s Yankee Stadium shows (July 3-6), the 2001 LP ligged 1.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams. By the following week (July 10-13), that figure vaulted 118% to over 2.4 million official streams.
With more stadium shows set for Paris, London and Los Angeles, we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on Jiggaman’s streams in the weeks to come. — KYLE DENIS
Will ‘Wonderwall’ Never Cease? Oasis’ Unofficial England Football Anthem Threatens Hot 100 Return
Today was gonna be the day that England soccer fans saw their squad return to the World Cup finals for the first time in 60 years, with the team leading Argentina 1-0 in their semifinal matchup with under 10 minutes to go in regulation. But the country’s dreams of a triumphant country-wide singalong of Oasis‘ “Wonderwall” — the song which England has adopted as its unofficial World Cup anthem this year — were dashed by two late Lionel Messi-assisted Argentina goals to steal the match 2-1, ending England’s incredible, Gallagher Bros-soundtracked tournament run.
Even without a major bump today, the Britpop classic would already have a good chance of returning to the Billboard Hot 100 next week. Official on-demand U.S. streams for “Wonderwall” have been rising throughout the tournament, up from 3.8 million for the tracking week ending July 2 to 5.1 million the following week, a gain of 34%, according to Luminate. Those numbers have risen even higher this week, with the song racking up 4.6 million over the first four days of the tracking week (July 10-13) — up 67% from the same period the prior week — with particular spikes coming after England’s quarterfinal victory over Norway on Saturday (July 11).
Now, all eyes turn to the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. On this side, the song could make its first Hot 100 appearance since 1996, when it peaked at No. 8 — highest-reaching of the band’s three career entries on the chart. On the U.K’s Official Charts, however, the song has already climbed all the way back to No. 11 (from No. 32 the week before) and could have a real chance at rising to the No. 1 spot next week — which would mark the British anthem’s first-ever visit to the chart’s apex, having originally peaked at No. 2 (under Robson and Jerome’s “I Believe”/”Up on the Roof” double A-side) in 1995. — ANDREW UNTERBERGER
Fat Papi Turns TikTok-Accelerated ‘Reasons to Get a Bob’ Trend Into Streaming Success
Sometimes, you don’t even need a dance trend to get TikTok to latch onto your song — any viral video will do. On June 5, user @/ jocelynmeiere posted a clip listing “reasons to get a bob” while showing off her short-cut hairstyle. There aren’t any actual reasons listed in the video; instead, she shakes her bob to the beat of Fat Papi’s “Freaked Out” — which dropped on June 4 — building on the long-running Internet ecosystem of bob jokes. As her original clip surpassed 52 million views, user @/jocelynmeiere continued to push the trend, steadily building momentum to a fever pitch over the past two weeks. By July 7, Fat Papi posted a video to his official TikTok account, writing, “I can’t believe a girl with a bob is the reason my song is [at] 8 million streams.”
During the week of June 26-July 2, “Freaked Out” collected 657,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate, with that figure leaping 241% to 2.24 million official streams the following week (July 3-9). “Freaked Out” also jumped 25% in streaming activity from the four-day period of July 3-6 to the four-day period of July 10-13, topping out at 1.85 million streams. The official “Freaked Out” sound plays in over 2.6 million posts on TikTok and over 55,000 Instagram Reels.
With celebrities like RAYE starting to hop on the “reasons to get a bob” trend, expect “Freaked Out” — which is currently No. 3 on Shazam’s U.S. Top 200 — to continue its upward trajectory. — KD
A “Great” Start for Sienna Spiro With New Single
It’s been a major stateside breakthrough year for British singer-songwriter Sienna Spiro, who cracked the Hot 100’s top 20 this year with breakout hit “Die on This Hill,” and quickly visited the chart with twice more with additional hits “You Stole the Show” and “The Visitor.” Now, she’s also got a top 10-charting Billboard 200 album to her name with her official debut LP Visitor — which includes all three of those prior hits — as well as a fourth Hot 100 entry with the set’s new single, “Great Expectations.”
The smoky ballad got off to a fine start on streaming in its release week, helped by a ‘60s-retro-heavy music video and a BBC Live Lounge performance, as well as extensive pre-release TikTok teasing of the song from Spiro. She has continued to promote “Expectation” heavily on the platform, with various fan edits of it with TV dramas like House of the Dragon and The Summer I Turned Pretty also helping to fan the viral flames, and propel the song to a No. 91 debut on the Hot 100.
It should climb even higher next week, as the ballad’s official on-demand U.S. streams have already risen 45% over the first four days of this tracking week (July 10-13) from the same period the prior week, according to Luminate — and Spiro isn’t letting up on the promo at all, performing it on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon earlier this week. It becoming another major hit for Spiro seems an increasingly reasonable expectation at this point. — AU
