This song is terrible but it's funnier to imagine this involves Janice Battersby somehow x

This is now Drake's longest running solo Top 10 hit since 'Toosie Slide' 6 years ago

I think that says it all about how terrible he has become in these last few years.

Hello! Sorry for my ignorance, as I'm new to the forum, but is there somewhere I will be able to find the final sales totals for the weekly albums and singles charts this week?

Biography

When it comes to growing up in public, the man known worldwide as the King of Pop wrote the book. Born in Gary, IN, in 1958, Michael Jackson became the biggest-selling, most broadly beloved singer on the planet, but when he started his career, he was just the kid trying to catch up with his big brothers. In 1964 he started playing percussion in The Jackson Brothers, but by the time they became the Jackson 5 the following year, little Michael was already contributing lead vocals. The group became a Motown hit machine in 1970 with pop-soul smashes like “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “I’ll Be There.” Michael’s undeniable vocal charisma made a solo career inevitable, and his began in 1971. He scored a few major hits early on, but he really exploded with 1979’s Off the Wall, a funk-pop-disco marvel that marked Jackson’s full musical maturation. Its 1982 follow-up, Thriller, became a full-blown international phenomenon with mega-singles including “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and the title track, literally becoming the best-selling album ever. Following it wasn’t easy, but Jackson managed to keep his vision alive through four more albums and several more hits over the next two decades, until his passing in 2009. - Apple Music

Normally Jack talking over the lyrics annoys me , but I will make an exception for Drake !

Billie Jean matching his 1983 top 5 run in 2026!

Edited Friday at 16:281 day by chartjack2

'Billie Jean' has now had longer in the Top 10 since MJ's death than on its original run.

Of course combined it's a non-consecutive Top 10 long runner...

Biography

“I’m the biggest emo drama queen,” Olivia Rodrigo (born in 2003 in Murrieta, CA) told Apple Music. But the key to letting it out is keeping it together, and balancing that tension has been key to the onetime High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star, who quickly established herself as one of pop’s next-generation leaders and has since proved herself adept at combining the twist-filled, sonically dense music of ’90s alt-rock with unabashed emotionalism. Rodrigo was just 17 when her first post-Disney hit, the weepy “drivers license,” took over pop at the beginning of 2021, but she had been getting ready for years, taking lessons in piano, voice, and acting as a child. A few months later, Rodrigo released her debut album, SOUR, a breakup record with a meticulous rage: “Where’s my f*****g teenage dream?” she wondered on "brutal," the album's Elastica-recalling opener. Whatever dreams she had during its genesis were vivid, as evidenced by lyrics that zero in on the details: an ex singing along to Billy Joel with his new love (the swirling “deja vu”); reading said ex’s self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (the stripped-down “enough for you”). GUTS, which followed in 2023, built on SOUR, with Rodrigo (and her producer and collaborator Dan Nigro) placing her pointillistic lyrics in an expanded sonic palette that incorporated influences from off-kilter ’90s acts like The Breeders (the illicit-thrill chronicle “bad idea right?”) and Butthole Surfers (the loose-limbed “get him back!”). While Rodrigo’s roots are in teen pop, her emotions—and her songs’ hooks—are relatable for listeners of all ages. - Apple Music

Olivia Rodrigo

A chart run of 2-3-4-1... could it happen?

Hopefully Number 1 next week

IT MUST

Honestly wouldn't be shocked if this went Number 1 next week.

That and it could hopefully secure it so Rein Me In will be able to go on ACR afterwards.

Edited Friday at 16:301 day by Dark73

Can something else magically become a contender, don't want any Rodrigo at the top but also want a new number one!

I’m rooting for this to go to #1 next week as well! Olivia has really delivered with this third album.

Is RMI on ACR next week?

Dammit was hoping the cure jumped ariana , better of the 2 tracks
