Ella Langley rules again, Drake reappears, and Taylor Swift stays steady on this week’s top 5 from the Billboard 100.
5. Olivia Dean – Man I Need
As one Olivia disappears from the Top 5, another quietly takes her place. With Olivia Rodrigo no longer represented in this week’s upper tier, Olivia Dean capitalizes on the opening as “Man I Need” surges back into the Top 5. The record continues its long, steady run, now reaching 45 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 with a peak of No. 2, firmly establishing itself as a modern chart mainstay.
4. Drake – Janice STFU
Drake continues his chart momentum as “Janice STFU” returns to the Top 5. Despite only seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, the track has already reached No. 1 on two separate occasions. Following a stretch led heavily by female artists, Drake now stands as the strongest (aka the only) male force in the mix this week.
3. Ella Langley – Be Her
Ella Langley stays locked in at the top of the conversation as “Be Her” remains steady inside the Top 3. With 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, the track continues to build on already strong momentum. Personally, it hasn’t hit me the same way “Choosin’ Texas” did, but it’s undeniably still one of the strongest songs of the year.
2. Taylor Swift – I Knew It, I Knew You
Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You” stays firm at No. 2 after a two-week run at the top earlier in its chart journey. With Swift recently getting married over the weekend, she can at least celebrate being No. 1 in her personal life, even if the record itself didn’t take the top spot again.
1. Ella Langley – Choosin’ Texas
“Choosin’ Texas” continues its commanding reign at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now with 37 weeks on the chart and 12 weeks at No. 1, the track refuses to give up its hold on the top spot. Even after brief interruptions in its run, it keeps bouncing back stronger, solidifying its place as one of the defining hits of the year.
