Taylor Swift is still sitting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.“Patient Zero”holds at No. 1 for a second week, making it her 16th career chart-topper and her 10th multiweek No. 1. The song, from the deluxe edition of“The Life of a Showgirl,”pulled 17.4 million streams, 26.1 million radio impressions and 8,000 downloads, with 134,000 first-week CD copies behind it. Swift now has 51 total weeks at No. 1, which ranks fifth-most in the chart’s 68-year history.
The rest of the top 10 is just as busy. Drake and Don Toliver’s“Solar Eclipse”debuts at No. 5, giving Drake a record-extending 91st top 10. Ella Langley’s“Choosin’Texas”stays at No. 2 after its record-setting 24 weeks at No. 1, proving that run isn’t fully over yet.
ADÉLA had the breakout moment of the week, earning her first Hot 100 top 10 as“Nicole Kidman”climbed to No. 9. The name isn’t a coincidence, the song is about the actress, and apparently Kidman herself reached out. ADÉLA’s reaction said it all:“I can’t believe Nicole Kidman knows who I am.”The new charts are dated October 17 and update tomorrow, October 13, on Billboard.com.
Which chart story are you most excited about: Swift’s streak, Drake’s record, or ADÉLA’s breakout?
