Dominic Fike, Ashe, Bruno Mars & More: Highlights of This Week’s Billboard Charts

Tuesday is new Billboard chart day each week! As all charts update each Tuesday, here’s a look at highlights of the latest rankings, dated Oct. 24 and reflecting the Oct. 9-15 measurement week, according to data tracker Luminate.

Among this week’s chart stars are Dominic Fike, Ashe, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and Ella Langley.

Fike earns his first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 as “Babydoll” climbs to No. 10, while Ashe notches her first top 10 on both Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and the Billboard Global 200 with “Stop the Wedding!,” up to Nos. 6 and 10 on the charts, respectively. The latter also becomes her first top 40 hit on the Hot 100, jumping to No. 34.

Both acts first reached Billboard rankings in the 2010s, with “Babydoll” newly viral this year after it was released in 2018. The song also enters the top five on the Radio Songs chart.

On Emerging Artists, Ashe lifts to a new No. 3 high — in her 52nd nonconsecutive week on the chart. She’s the second artist this year to make the top three after an ascent of more than a year’s worth of time on the survey, after Ty Myers did so in his 75th week in April. Myers’ rise was powered by his breakthrough hit “Ends of the Earth,” which hit the top 20 on Hot Country Songs.

• Taylor Swift

  The Life of a Showgirl is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a 15th week, and the set’s “Patient Zero” adds a third week at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

• Bruno Mars

  

  “I Just Might” breaks out of a tie with Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” for the most weeks at No. 1 – 32 – on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs since the chart became the genre’s singular songs list in October 1958.

  The record has fallen on other multimetric charts in recent years, “reflecting a landscape,” as R&B/hip-hop chart analyst Trevor Anderson notes, “in which big hits become entrenched in consistent streaming performance and radio airplay cycles that led to extensive, chart-topping runs.”

• Ella Langley

  After her “Choosin’ Texas” ran up a record 24 weeks atop the Hot 100, it adds a 26th week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, tying Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the longest command in the chart’s history.

• Greta Van Fleet

  Palace for the People debuts as the band’s fourth No. 1 on Top Hard Rock Albums and fourth top 10, at No. 9, on the Billboard 200.

• Lauren Alaina & Chase Matthew

  

  They earn their fourth and second No. 1, respectively, on Country Airplay with “All My Exes.”

  Written by Alaina, Jimmy Gutch, Ben Johnson and Whitney Phillips, the song draws on a relationship from Alaina’s early 20s. “I was living in Nashville,” she told Billboard last year, “and dating other country music artists and other people in the business, and comedians … all the wrong people, basically.”

  Now 31, Alaina was speaking while changing diapers for her newborn daughter. “It’s actually hilarious,” she chuckled, “that this is our current single.”

• Tems

  

  “What You Need” posts a 10th week atop R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and marks her second No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay.

• Death Cab for Cutie

  The band claims its 10th No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart with “Stone Over Water.”

• Grupo Frontera

  “Pary” becomes the act’s 18th leader on Regional Mexican Airplay.

• Swedish House Mafia & Lykke Li

  The acts earn their respective fourth and first No. 1 on Dance Airplay with “Happiness Is So Sad.”

• Big Mountain

  The group debuts at No. 13 on Reggae Albums with The Best of Big Mountain, marking its first entry on the chart since 1996. Released in 1998, the set includes the band’s smash cover of Peter Frampton’s ‘70s classic “Baby, I Love Your Way”; Big Mountain’s version hit No. 1 on Pop Airplay and No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1994.
