The endurance of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” hits new historic heights as the song logs a record-breaking 92nd week on the Billboard Hot 100. The single surpasses the run of Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves,” which ran up 91 weeks in 2021-22, for the most time spent on the chart dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception.
“Lose Control” debuted at No. 99 on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 26, 2023. It led for a week in March 2024, and became the year’s No. 1 song. It ranks at No. 11 on the latest list, dated May 31, 2025.
The soulful smash has also amassed a record 63 weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10. (Songs have generally logged longer runs on the chart, and at No. 1 and in the top 10, since the survey adopted electronically tracked Luminate data in November 1991.)
Along the way, “Lose Control,” on SWIMS Int./Warner Records, has also ruled the following Billboard charts: the all-format Radio Songs and Digital Song Sales surveys, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay and Pop Airplay. It also hit No. 2 on Adult Alternative Airplay and the top five on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
“Lose Control” has even outlasted two follow-up singles that each hit the Hot 100’s top 40: “The Door” (No. 24 peak, last October) and “Bad Dreams” (No. 30, earlier this May). Both songs also reached the top 10 on Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay. Another of Teddy Swims’ hits, “Are You Even Real,” with Giveon, topped Adult R&B Airplay in April.
“Teddy Swims is a once-in-a-generation talent who defies genres, making him truly unique in today’s music landscape,” Warner evp of promotion and commerce Mike Chester told Billboard last year. “When we began promoting ‘Lose Control,’ our journey was carefully planned. From the start, we noticed that the song was resonating in various pockets of culture, creating a strong and diverse fanbase.”
The artist born Jaten Dimsdale, in Conyers Ga., in 1992, and who made his overall Billboard chart debut in 2021, was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards this year. “I love always watching your updates,” he mused of Billboard News’ weekly recap of the Hot 100’s top 10. “It’s like, ‘Here comes Teddy Swims!’ I hope you never stop saying that. I’m grateful.”
Below, browse a rundown of the longest-charting hits in the Hot 100’s history.

If there’s one thing we know Teddy Swims likes, it’s his jewelry.
The fashion-forward star recently curated a collection of glitzy pieces alongside Kay Jewelers, toting the title of Chief Love Officer for the occasion. It seems only fitting, given Kay Jewelers is sponsoring the musician’s North American leg of his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour. We spoke to the “Lose Control” singer regarding the multi-piece collection celebrating love, diving deep into Swims’ jewelry fascination with talk of favorite pieces, fashion inspiration and his new role at the specialty jewelry company.
To do the collaboration justice, Swims first tackled recording his version of the brand’s iconic “Every Kiss Begins With Kay” jingle, a move that even Swims didn’t see coming. “I mean of course you grow up hearing that song your entire life right? And that was something in the grand scheme of being a musician at this level that..I just never had that on my bingo card,” Swims joked.

Men’s Diamond Teddy Bear Charm 3/4 ct tw 10K Yellow Gold
A charm shaped like a teddy bear encrusted with diamonds in 10K yellow gold.
“We were sitting in the hotel a couple of days ago..I mean we sat there and did 100 versions of it..and I just caught myself laughing at some point with my engineer like ‘Dude what the heck..we’re singing the Kay Jewelers jingle right now. This is the coolest thing ever.” It’s safe to say that re-upping the jingle was an exciting moment for the little 90s kid in Swims’ heart.
Trending on Billboard
The curated line was inspired by Swims’ flashy fashions that mix punk rock with “baby girl.” “We’ve chosen a lot of black diamonds and some darker black jewels and stuff like that to keep it a little gothic and punk-rocky, you know. But then there’s, of course, the gold and all that shimmer of the diamonds too,” Swims said. The collection strikes a balance between edgy and sweet, light and dark, paying homage to Swims’ personal style. His favorite piece? A yellow gold and diamond-encrusted teddy bear pendant charm, of course. “You can’t beat diamonds,” the rapper added teasingly.
Swims‘ collaboration serves as a tribute to love in all its forms, expressed through his signature mix of soul, swagger and sincerity. With that in mind, his title of Chief Love Officer was a no-brainer, a title that aptly exemplifies Swims’ love of all things love. “I think it’s badass,” the performer said. “Love is what I live and breathe for…I’m grateful for every opportunity.. I mean, even if it’s a random Wednesday it’s always a good time to show somebody love and compassion.”
The “Bed on Fire” singer’s collaboration with Kay Jewelers is available to shop now on the brand’s website. You can catch Swims’ on tour until August 20.

Nikki Glaser was one of countless Swifties who was a little let down after the 2025 American Music Awards ended with no word from Taylor Swift, despite a trail of seeming clues leading up to the show that fans had thought meant the pop superstar be making an appearance or announcing something major on Monday night (May 26).
But in the hours before the ceremony ended in Las Vegas — back when Swiftie hopes were still high — the comedian gushed in a red carpet interview with Billboard that she was indeed “clowning” over the possibility of the pop superstar showing up to unveil either a brand new album or Reputation (Taylor’s Version). “I did see a list on Instagram tonight of all the Easter eggs that say that she’s going to be here,” Glaser said, noting that she was trying not to think too much about it, lest she “freak out.”
“I’m usually someone that doesn’t clown, and I’m like, ‘Guys, don’t get your hopes up,’” she continued while speaking to QTCinderalla and Billboard’s Tetris Kelly. “But I think I’m clowning.”
Ultimately, Swift didn’t even attend the awards, much less share news about a new project. The no-show came weeks after fans first noticed that the 14-time Grammy winner’s online store had changed to display a menu reading, “Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale,” spelling out “AMAs” with each word’s first letter. Swifties — Glaser included — also discovered that several items on the website were on sale for 26% off their original price, matching the May 26 date of the ceremony.
“It’s too much of a coincidence with all the 26s lining up,” Glaser gushed to Billboard. “What else could it be? There’s gotta be something, and if there’s not … I have a feeling she’s holding onto [Reputation (Taylor’s Version)] for a long time. I think that girl’s got new music for us — that’s my prediction.”
But despite her excitement, the TV personality noted that she would be happy even if Swift didn’t make any moves that night. “Even if she doesn’t show up, we love it,” added Glaser, who later presented new artist of the year to Gracie Abrams. “Thank you for the puzzle.”
Though Monday’s goose chase ended up leading to a dead end, Swift is famous for teasing things months in advance and leaving Easter eggs for her fans to decode. The practice dates back to the very beginning of her career, when she used to hide secret messages in her CD lyric booklets by not-so-randomly capitalizing letters. In the 20 years since, Swifties have gotten used to scanning everything from her outfits to her Instagram captions for subtle clues about her next steps.
Glaser has long been a fan of the “Fortnight” singer, revealing in December that she’d spent nearly $100,000 to see Swift on 22 Eras Tour shows in 2023 and 2024. “She has no idea who I am, but I’m just the biggest fan,” the comedian said in July of being “addicted” to the concerts on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I want to just see it as much as possible, it’s the thing that makes me happiest in the world.”
In February, however, the Someday You’ll Die stand-up explained why she would never approach her idol in person. “Taylor, she’s just — everyone wants a piece,” she said on Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard of bumping into the pop star at award shows. “I will never be the one to be like, ‘Excuse me!’ There’s no way that she’s dying for that on a night like this where everyone’s doing it. And of course, she would be so nice. I know exactly how it would go down, but I don’t wanna take someone’s energy away that I require their energy to be put into making great music.”
Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The collaboration between the country and pop stars – from Wallen’s new album, I’m the Problem, which soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 2025’s biggest week by equivalent album units – is Wallen’s fourth Hot 100 leader and McRae’s first. She surpasses her prior No. 3 best set by “Greedy” in January 2024. In March, McRae notched her first Billboard 200 No. 1 with So Close to What; she’s the first artist this year to lead both lists for the first time.
Wallen previously topped the Hot 100 with “Love Somebody,” also on I’m the Problem, for a week upon its debut in November; as featured on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” which bowed at No. 1 in May 2024 and led for six weeks; and with “Last Night,” for 16 weeks beginning in March 2023, before wrapping as the chart’s top hit that year.
Wallen boasts six songs in all in the latest Hot 100’s top 10, with “I Got Better” also debuting, at No. 7, and “Superman” flying 16-8 in its second week on the chart. He has now charted nine top 10s from I’m the Problem; only Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and Midnights (10 top 10s each) have yielded more, with Drake’s Certified Lover Boy also having generated nine.
Meanwhile, Wallen claims the top three spots on the Hot 100, with “What I Want” followed by “Just in Case” at No. 2 and “I’m the Problem” at No. 3 – as he becomes the first artist that primarily records country music to have monopolized the top three in a single week over the chart’s 66-year history.
