The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber's 'Stay' Rules Billboard Hot 100, Wizkid's 'Essence' Hits Top 10
By Gary Trust | 10/11/2021

The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber's "Stay" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, from No. 2, for a seventh week at the summit.

Plus, Walker Hayes' country crossover hit "Fancy Like" hits a new No. 3 high on the survey and Wizkid's "Essence," featuring Bieber and Tems, reaches the top 10, rising 11-10.

"Stay," released on Raymond Braun/Columbia Records/Def Jam, drew 86.4 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 4%) and 23.2 million U.S. streams (down 6%) and sold 7,400 downloads (down 14%) in the week ending Oct. 7, according to MRC Data.

"Stay" scores a fourth week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart; rises 4-3 on Streaming Songs, where it has spent six weeks on top; and drops 6-10 on Digital Song Sales, after reaching No. 3.

Meanwhile, as "Stay" tops the Hot 100 for a seventh week, it ties for the second-longest No. 1 run for a song by two or more co-billed solo male leads over the chart's 63-year history. Here's an updated look at such songs that have reigned for at least three weeks (and which excludes duos or groups known for regularly recording together).

Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artists, Peak date:
16, "Despacito," Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee (feat. Justin Bieber), beginning May 27, 2017
7, "Stay," The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber, beginning Aug. 14, 2021
7, "Ebony and Ivory," Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder, beginning May 15, 1982
6, "Say Say Say," Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson, beginning Dec. 10, 1983
4, "Shake Ya Tailfeather," Nelly, P. Diddy & Murphy Lee, beginning Sept. 6, 2003
3, "All for Love," Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting, beginning Jan. 22, 1994

"Stay" concurrently hits No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay radio chart, where it's The Kid LAROI's second leader, after "Without You" dominated for a week in July, and Bieber's fourth.

Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's "Industry Baby" rebounds to its No. 2 Hot 100 best, from No. 3. The song, which debuted at No. 2 in August, keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (23.4 million, down 7%); climbs 6-5 on Radio Songs (58.1 million, up 15%); and falls 8-12 on Digital Song Sales (5,200, down 3%). It adds a seventh week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100.

Walker Hayes' "Fancy Like" hits a new No. 3 Hot 100 high, ascending from No. 5, as it tops the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart for a 13th week. Notably, the song is the fifth to have hit the Hot 100's top three and led Hot Country Songs since the latter list adopted the same methodology as the former in October 2012, and three of the entries have scored such status in 2020-21. Here's an updated rundown.

Hot 100 Peak, Title, Artist(s), Weeks atop Hot Country Songs; Year(s):
No. 1, three weeks, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," Taylor Swift, 10; 2012
No. 2, "Meant to Be," Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line, (a record) 50; 2017-18
No. 2, "Forever After All," Luke Combs, 10; 2020-21
No. 3, "I Hope," Gabby Barrett feat. Charlie Puth, 27; 2020-21
No. 3, "Fancy Like," Walker Hayes, 13; 2020-21

For four of the five songs above (except for Combs'), pop radio crossover airplay has assisted their Hot 100 performances. "Fancy Like" bullets at its No. 4 best on the Oct. 16 Country Airplay chart and improves 14-13 on Adult Pop Airplay, 17-16 on Pop Airplay and 22-21 on Adult Contemporary.

Drake's "Way 2 Sexy" holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100, following its No. 1 launch four weeks earlier, as it logs a fifth week atop Streaming Songs (23.4 million, down 15%); Ed Sheeran's "Bad Habits" rebounds 6-5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2; Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U" pushes 7-6, after it debuted at No. 1 in May; and Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More," featuring SZA, rises 8-7, after reaching No. 3.

Dua Lipa's "Levitating" lifts 10-8 on the Hot 100, after hitting to No. 2. It spends a 38th week in the top 10, the third-longest run in the chart's archives, after The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (57 weeks; 2020-21) and Post Malone's "Circles" (39 weeks; 2019-20).

Drake's "Knife Talk," featuring 21 Savage and Project Pat, is stationary at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 4.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Wizkid's "Essence," featuring Bieber and Tems, advances 11-10. It backtracks 7-9 on Radio Songs but with a 5% gain to 48.9 million; rises 26-21 on Streaming Songs (11.2 million, down 1%); and falls 17-24 on Digital Song Sales (3,200, down 8%).

Wizkid earns his second Hot 100 top 10, following his featured turn with Kyla, on Drake's 10-week 2016 No. 1 "One Dance." Tems (like Wizkid, from Nigeria) achieves her first top 10 with her first entry on the chart. (She added her second charted title as featured on Drake's "Fountains," which debuted at its No. 26 peak on the Sept. 18 survey.)

Bieber tallies his milestone 25th Hot 100 top 10, having joined Wizkid and Tems on the "Essence" remix released Aug. 13. Here's an updated recap of the acts with the most top 10s, as Bieber matches the totals of Lil Wayne and Elvis Presley (with the chart having begun two years after Presley's commercial breakthrough).

Most Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s:
54, Drake
38, Madonna
34, The Beatles
31, Rihanna
30, Michael Jackson
29, Taylor Swift
28, Mariah Carey
28, Stevie Wonder
27, Janet Jackson
27, Elton John
25, Justin Bieber
25, Elvis Presley
25, Lil Wayne

Additionally, Coldplay and BTS' "My Universe" descends to No. 12 on the Hot 100 after it rocketed in at No. 1 a week earlier. It posts a second week at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (42,600, down 54%) and slides 21-32 on Streaming Songs (8.8 million, down 23%), while sporting a 41% gain to 7.9 million in all-format airplay audience. The collaboration collects a second week atop the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts.

Levitating’s longevity has been crazy. Must be a contender for year end #1 at this point.

Yeah they must have, keeping Butter at #1 for 30 weeks has drained the finances, poor them cry.gif

That Walker Hayes trash is getting concerningly close to #1.

Nice to see Elton and CKay both making big gains into the top 40!

The Army seem to want all BTS records at no.1 but certain ones like 'Permission to Dance' and 'My Universe' need only spend a single week - others like 'Butter' they're prepared to spend many weeks (although they stopped at 10 and didn't get close to trying to beat Lil Nas X record). I'm sure the funds are unlimited for as many singles BTS fart out.

Great to see 'Love Again' at 41.

And they seem to prefer different Drake tracks compared to us - 'Way Too Sexy' and 'Knife Talk' holding up well whilst we still have GWG the highest.

maybe it's cos Coldplay I the first name, if it was BTS x Coldplay sure they'd support it more biggrin.gif

haven't heard that country song at #3 but I'm almost afraid to listen biggrin.gif

It's a pity Heat Waves isn't higher, has been top 5 on Spotify for ages but I guess it has bad airplay

Walker Hayes told in a story behind this song, "On my 'socials' I get a lot of people who watch me and my kids and my wife at home, and they're like 'Man, you know, we also eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch' or 'Oh, we love Sonic, too'. You know? And I think that sometimes they—they get this impression that our life is fancier than theirs, for some reason. And so I'm... I guess 'Fancy Like' was my response to that. Like 'Nah, we're—, we're pretty—, pretty normal average-Joe people.'"

If that sounds you're bag then give it a listen... at least it's extremely unlikely to be big in the UK. We never really do much country thankfully...

If last year's big US country hit 'I Hope' is anything to go by it'll probably belatedly be a very minor UK top 100 hit by the new year. Would be quite something if it made it to #1 though as it'd be the first #1 in many years that won't stand a chance of making our top 40.

Nice Dua update this week.

And I know I've read somewhere that Levitating is indeed #1 YTD chart by quite a lead!!!

There was a version of 'Fancy Like' with Kesha that dropped a couple of weeks ago indeed but it wasn't nearly popular enough for Kesha to get a credit on the Hot 100. Shame as that would have been the only redeeming outcome of this song existing.

(the Kesha version is the only reason I've bothered listening to the song although I had a good idea from reading other people's commentary about it / looking up the lyrics beforehand that it was going to be trash lol)

Wouldn't be too surprising if it eventually becomes at least a low top 100 hit in the UK like 'Cruise' and 'I Hope' were but let's hope not.

I do not tolerate the 'Fancy Like' dislike in this thread xx

I'm keeping absolutely everything crossed for 'Love Again' to sneak in the top 40, seems to be peaking on airplay so I fear next week's its last chance. It's already done great all things considered but a #41 peak would still be disappointing.

Its interesting that country songs are still doing well on the Hot 100, I thought it was a covid response last year when Luke Coombs reached No2 but I'm starting to wonder if there's something else behind the sudden rebound in country songs reaching the top 10 again. I think its a shame it doesn't cross over more to the UK, our charts.

I think country music has usually struggled to make much of an impression on streaming before but Luke Combs and M*rg*n W*ll*n have both managed to break through much more and pull streaming numbers / album bombs comparable to some pop and rap artists. Perhaps the genre in general has been trending more towards respectable streaming numbers, I don't track it closely enough to say for sure. Although 'Fancy Like' still seems to be primarily driven by airplay, it's only #29 on Spotify (it has also been dominant on iTunes for weeks for what that's worth but I tend to think sales aren't much of a factor any more these days with certain obvious exceptions).

I'd definitely class "Fancy Like" as one of those exceptions. It was riding high in the top 20 of the Hot 100 for weeks on the back of sales & streaming. Airplay is just playing catch up to strike while this iron is hot, given that it's subverting the standard 9 month climb to the top of the country airplay chart, but it didn't even appear on the chart for a few weeks.
