The all-star team comprising LIT Killah, Tiago Pzk, Maria Becerra, Duki, Emilia, Rusherking, Big One and FMK rule the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart as “Los Del Espacio” holds steady for a third week on the June 24-dated ranking.
It’s the fifth song to rule the ranking for at least three weeks or more in 2023. Here’s the leaderboard:

Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artists7, “En La Intimidad” Emilia, Big One & Callejero Fino5, “Un Finde: Big One CROSSOVER #2,” Ke Personajes, Big One & FMK4, “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” Bizarrap & Shakira3, “M.A (Mejores Amigos),” BM, Callejero Fino, La Joaqui & Lola Índigo3, “Los Del Espacio,” LIT Killah, Tiago Pzk, Maria Becerra, Duki, Emilia, Rusherking & Big One

Big One and FMK concurrently occupy the No. 2 slot as “Un Finde,” with Ke Personajes, remains at the runner-up slot for a sixth week after its five-week domination starting the April 22-dating ranking.

BM’s “M. A. (Mejores Amigos)” with Callejero Fino, La Joaqui and Lola Indigo holds at No. 3 for a third week, while Maria Becerra and Ráfaga’s “Adiós” rebounds to its No. 4 high. Plus, YNG Lvcas and Peso Pluma’s “La Bebe” advances 6-5.

The Hot Shot Debut of the week goes to Bizarrap and Rauw Alejandro’s “Rauw Alejandro: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 56” at No 54. Meanwhile, Ke Personajes’ “Adios Amor / Oye Mujer” takes home the Greatest Gainer trophy with an 83-70 surge.

Elsewhere, Yandel, Feid and Daddy Yankee each add a career chart entry as “Yankee 150” bows at No. 75.

Three other songs debut this week, starting with Emilia’s “Guerrero.Mp3” at No. 88, following with Rusherking’s “Intensidad” at No. 97, and Miranda! and Andres Calamaro’s pair-up, “Tu Mentiroso Alguien” opens at No. 100.

Barring any unforeseen hurdles, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) is bolting to a fourth week atop the U.K. chart. The record-breaking British hip-hop collaboration soaked up another 9 million streams last week, for a third consecutive cycle at the top. Based on sales and streaming data for the first half of the latest […]

Maisie Peters’ The Good Witch (Atlantic/Gingerbread Man) is working its magic on the United Kingdom.
The English pop singer and songwriter’s sophomore set leads the midweek chart, ahead of Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (via Columbia up 5-2) and Tom Grennan’s What Ifs & Maybes (down 1-3 via Insanity), respectively.

The Good Witch is the followup to Peters’ 2021 debut You Signed Up For This, which peaked at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. A chart crown would cap a huge half-year for Peters, who supported Ed Sheeran for stadium shows across Australia and New Zealand earlier in 2023.

Also set for high entries this week are Young Thug’s Business Is Business (300 Entertainment), which could become his second top 10 appearance, at No. 9; and Kelly Clarkson’s Chemistry (Atlantic), which could net the U.S. singing star her sixth U.K. top 10, at No. 10.

The “Glastonbury effect” can be seen up and down the Official Chart Update.

Scottish singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi is one of the beneficiaries of a high-profile slot at Glastonbury Festival last weekend, which powers his albums Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent (up 16-4 via EMI) and debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (up 34-12) on the midweek tally.

Elton John is winding up his touring career in the coming weeks, and enjoyed a boisterous send-off at Glastonbury. Now, his hits compilation Diamonds (Mercury/UMC) is on track to appear in the top 5 again, up 15-5.

Celebrated British alternative rock act Arctic Monkeys are hanging high on the midweek chart, with AM (No. 6), Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (No. 20) and Favourite Worst Nightmare (No. 38) — all via Domino Recordings — on the bounce following their Friday night performance at the Eavis’ famous fest.

Other Glastonbury performers enjoying a post-event albums blitz include Foo Fighters (But Here We Are at No. 16 via Columbia and The Essential Foo Fighters at No. 28 via Sony Music CG), Lana Del Rey (Born To Die at No. 36 via Polydor) and Guns N’ Roses (Greatest Hits at No. 37 via Geffen).

Finally, Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour hasn’t yet reached the U.K., but anticipation is causing her hit albums to spike. According to the Official Charts Company, former leaders Midnights (No. 7), 1989 (No. 11), Lover (No. 14), Reputation (No. 22) and Folklore (No. 31), all via EMI, are on the climb.

All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published Friday, June 30.

Dave and Central Cee‘s supreme chart run can’t be halted as “Sprinter” logs a third successive week at No. 1 in the U.K.
“Sprinter” (via Live Yours/Neighbourhood) is already a record-breaker in the U.K., where, on debut, it accumulated a history-setting volume of streams for a rap track.

For the recently completed chart cycle, “Sprinter” notches over 9 million streams, according to the Official Charts Company, to outrace J Hus and Drake’s “Who Told You” (Black Butter/OVO/Republic) and Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s “Miracle” (Columbia), respectively. “Sprinter” also stays on top of Australia’s ARIA Chart.

Harry Styles’ is feeling the love on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. As the former One Direction star’s Love On Tour show works its way around his homeland, Styles climbs with a trio of Harry’s House numbers, led by former leader “As It Was,” up 7-5. Meanwhile, “Satellite” cracks the top 20 for the first time, up 31-18, and “Late Night Talking” lifts 30-22.

Kylie Minogue‘s comeback gathers pace with “Padam Padam” (BMG). The pop legend’s steamy EDM-infused comeback track improves 9-8 for a new high on the latest tally, published Friday, June 23. “Padam Padam” matches the position of the Australian singer’s last U.K. top 10 appearance, 2011’s “Higher” with Taio Cruz and Travie McCoy, and is her 35th U.K. top 10.

Also on the rise is Scottish DJ Hannah Laing and rising singer RoRo, as their club track “Good Love” (WUGD) rises 13-9. It’s the first-ever U.K. top 10 chart appearance for both artists.

The best-placed new release belongs to former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne, who gets her solo career away with the U.K. garage number “Don’t Say Love” (Warner Records). It starts its chart journey at No. 11.

Finally, South Korean DJ, singer and producer Peggy Gou bags her first U.K. top 40 single with floor filler “(It Goes Like) Nanana” (XL Recordings), which leaps into the chart at No. 14.

There are no ifs, no buts about it — Tom Grennan has the U.K. chart crown with What Ifs & Maybes (Insanity).
The leader at the midweek point, What Ifs & Maybes holds on to give the British singer and songwriter his second U.K. leader.

It’s the followup to Grennan’s Evering Road, which led the chart in 2021, and debut Lighting Matches, which peaked at No. 5 in 2018.

Grennan outmuscles some heavy rock in the form of Queens of the Stone Age, whose eighth studio set In Times New Roman (Matador) bows at No. 2. In Times New Roman becomes the sixth U.K. top 10 appearance for Josh Jomme and Co., and is the followup to Villains, which led the national chart following its release in 2017. In Times New Roman also starts at No. 2 on Australia’s ARIA Chart, behind homegrown blues-rock outfit The Teskey Brothers’ The Winding Way.

Closing out the U.K. top three is Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (Columbia), up 4-3.

Meanwhile, London synth-pop veterans Pet Shop Boys check in for an 18th U.K. top 10 with their career retrospect, SMASH: The Singles 1985-2020 (Parlophone). It’s new at No. 4. Close behind, at No. 5, is Far From Saints’ eponymously titled album, via Ignition. Far From Saints is a project featuring Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones, along with the Wind And The Wave’s members Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker.

The top end of the latest Official U.K. Albums Chart, published Friday, June 23, is stacked with new releases. Among them, Texas’s compilation The Very Best Of – 1989-2023 (PIAS Recordings). The pop-rock outfit drops in at No. 6, as fans tune-in ahead of the Texas’ performance at Glastonbury’s main Pyramid Stage.

Further down the list is Gunna, who fires away for his third U.K. top 10 spot with A Gift & A Curse (Warner Records), new at No. 9.

There’s a touch of history on the chart as ATEEZ becomes just the second male K-pop band — after BTS – to snag a U.K. top 10 album appearance, with The World Ep.2: Outlaw (KQ Entertainment). It’s new at No. 10. The pop act — Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho — recently toured the U.K. with The Fellowship: Break The Wall Tour, an itinerary that included a sold-out concert at London’s The O2.

Finally, Taylor Swift fever is sweeping the U.K. once again as five of the American pop superstar’s albums impact the top 40, led by Midnights (EMI), unchanged at No. 8. The latest outbreak is triggered by the announcement last week of the U.K. leg for her The Eras Tour.

Usher acquires his seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart as “GLU” advances from the runner-up spot to lead the list dated June 24. The sensual single checks into the penthouse after a 16% boost in plays that made it the most-played song on U.S. monitored adult R&B radio stations in the week ending June 15, according to Luminate.

“GLU” unseats Alicia Keys’ “Come for Me (Unlocked),” featuring Khalid and Lucky Daye, after the latter’s two weeks in command. The prior champ slips to No. 3 due to a 13% decline in plays.

With his seventh champ, Usher becomes the seventh male artist with at least as many No. 1s on Adult R&B Airplay since the list began in 1993. Charlie Wilson and his nine No. 1s pace that race, with Bruno Mars, Kem, Maxwell and Tank each claiming eight leaders, while R. Kelly also owns seven.

As the R&B legend sticks “GLU” onto his roster, here’s a look at Usher’s seven Adult R&B Airplay No. 1s:

“Here I Stand,” seven weeks at No. 1, beginning Dec. 6, 2008“Papers,” three, Jan. 2, 2010“There Goes My Baby,” one, July 31, 2010“Climax,” one, July 7, 2012“Don’t Waste My Time,” featuring Ella Mai, two, June 13, 2020“Bad Habits,” one, Dec. 5, 2020“GLU,” one (to date), June 24, 2023

The new No. 1 also continues the successful partnership between Usher and two of his noteworthy collaborators – Sean Garrett and Lil Jon, who share co-writing and co-production credits on “GLU.” For the former, it brings the hitmaker his second Adult R&B Airplay No. 1 with Usher, after “Papers.” Both Garrett and Lil Jon are also part of the team behind one of Usher’s most iconic hits, the smash “Yeah!,” featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, which ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks in 2004. In addition to that pair, The Avila Brothers also share co-writing and co-production credits, while Usher himself also nabs a co-write claim.

Elsewhere, “GLU” repeats at No. 6 on the plays-based Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, despite a 1% drop in plays in the latest tracking week. Thanks to top 10 showings at both Adult R&B Airplay and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, the song retains its No. 4 best, to date, on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop stations. There, “GLU” rose to 14.6 million in audience in the latest tracking week, up 6% from the previous frame.

Anchored by its radio strength across the R&B/hip-hop sector, “GLU” climbs 40-38 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, where it registered 17.3 million in total audience. Airplay gains, in turn, spark the song’s 15-13 ascent on the Hot R&B Songs chart, which blends radio airplay data with streaming and sales for its rankings.

Life is full of whats, ifs, and maybes. Just ask Tom Grennan, who’s on the brink of another U.K. chart crown.
The English singer and songwriter’s third studio album What Ifs & Maybes (via Insanity) leads an all-new top 4 on the midweek chart. If it holds its place, Grennan will bag a second leader, following 2021’s Evering Road, and third consecutive top 10, dating back to his 2018 debut Lighting Matches, which peaked at No. 5.

Grennan will be closely watching the form of Queens of the Stone Age, whose eighth studio album In Times New Roman (Matador) is set to start at No. 2. QOTSA already has five U.K. top 10 LPs.

Completing the podium at the midweek stage is Pet Shop Boys’ career retrospective SMASH: The Singles 1985-2020 (Parlophone). It’s new at No. 3, and should give the synthpop duo an 18th U.K. top 10 appearance on the chart proper.

Coming in at No. 4 on the Official Chart Update is Far From Saints’ eponymously titled LP (via Ignition). It’s the first release from the group, led by Kelly Jones, frontman of Welsh rockers Stereophonics, plus Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of U.S. band The Wind and The Wave.

Also new to the top 10 on the chart blast is K-pop group ATEEZ, with The World Ep.2: Outlaw (KQ Entertainment), new at No. 6; Texas’s hits collection The Very Best Of – 1989-2023 (PIAS Recordings) at No. 7; and English singer, songwriter and composer Ben Howard’s Is It? (Island), new at No. 8.

A 20th anniversary reissue of Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground (Polydor/UMR) could see the band’s debut return to the top 10. It blasts to No. 9 on the chart update. The first full-length LP from Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Cheryl Tweedy, Kimberley Walsh and the late Sarah Harding peaked at No. 2 following its release in 2003.

Just outside the top 10 is Dannii Minogue’s Neon Nights (London Stream Music), which also enjoys a lift due to a 20th anniversary treatment. The Australian pop singer’s fourth studio set, which peaked at No. 8 following its original release, sits at No. 11 on the midweek chart.

All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday, June 23.

Dave and Central Cee do it again as “Sprinter” (via Live Yours/Neighbourhood) wins the U.K. chart race for a second week.
“Sprinter” opened its account with an all-time volume of streams for a rap song in the U.K., and the biggest opening week so far in 2023.

The British hip-hop collaboration secures another week in charge with the Split Decision release, while tracks from the EP, “Trojan Horse,” up 14-12, and “UK Rap,” up 17-14, are on the climb for new peaks.

“Sprinter” outpaces J Hus and Drake’s “Who Told You” (Black Butter/OVO/Republic), new at No. 2 for the highest debut this week. That’s a new career-best and fourth top 10 single for British rapper J Hus (real name: Momodou Lamin Jallow), and a 13th top tier appearance for Drake. “Who Told You” had briefly taken the lead during the early phases of the chart cycle.

Elsewhere on the latest Official U.K. Singles Chart, published June 16, British drum ‘n’ bass act Rudimental grab their highest-charting single since 2018, as “Dancing is Healing” (Room Two) featuring Charlotte Plank and Vibe Chemistry, lifts 8-6. It’s Rudimental’s fifth U.K. top 10.

Australia’s “Princess of Pop” Kylie Minogue claims her first top 10 in over a decade, as “Padam Padam” (BMG) lifts 11-9, for her 35th top 10 appearance.

With that effort, Kylie becomes just the fourth female solo artist to snag a U.K. top 10 single across five consecutive decades, doing so in the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, 2010s and ‘20s. She now draws level with Cher, Lulu and Diana Ross, all of whom bagged 10 hits in the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s.

The catchy EDM number is Kylie’s first appearance in the top 10 since her 2011 collab with Taio Cruz and Travie McCoy, “Higher,” which reached No. 8. Her last solo song to get there was 2010’s “All The Lovers,” which peaked at No. 3.

Kylie’s hitmaking prowess is legendary. In November 2020, when her 15th studio album Disco shimmied its way to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, Minogue became the first female artist to lead the tally in five consecutive decades.

Niall Horan takes a bow as The Show (via Capitol) starts at No. 1 in the U.K.
The Irishman’s third studio album is his second leader, following 2020’s Heartbreak Weather, and third-successive top 3 effort, after his debut solo album release, 2017’s Flicker, peaked at No. 3.

The Show had led the midweek all-genreschart and finishes the week as the best-seller on wax.

According to the Official Charts Company, The Show is the sixth leader by a former member of One Direction, a list that includes Zayn’s Mind of Mine (from 2016), Harry Styles’ eponymously-titled debut (2017) and Harry’s House (2022), Louis Tomlinson’s Faith in the Future (2022) and Horan’s brace.

As a member of 1D, Horan landed four U.K. No. 1 albums and as many leaders on the national singles survey. Horan’s The Show also leads Australia’s ARIA Chart and arrives at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, behind Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time.

Landing at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, published Friday, June 16, is McFly’s Power to Play (BMG). The pop-punk veterans’ seventh studio album is also their seventh top 10.

Completing an all-new top 3 is Manchester-formed, Britpop era band James with Be Opened by the Wonderful (Nothing But Love Music). It’s new at No. 3 for the “Laid” group’s 11th top 10 appearance on the albums tally.

Also new to the top 10 is Christine and the Queens’ Paranoia, Angels, True Love (Because Music), arriving at No. 7. It’s the French alternative pop outfit’s third top 10 slot, following 2016 debut Chaleur humaine (No. 2) and 2018’s Chris (No.3).

Finally, Vermont-born singer and songwriter Noah Kahan earns his first appearance in the top 40 with Stick Season (Island) at No. 17, while London-born singer, songwriter, rapper and producer King Krule (real name: Archy Ivan Marshall) scores his third top 40 album with Space Heavy (XL Recordings), new at No. 18.

It’s the Niall Horan Show on the ARIA Albums Chart this week as the Irish pop artist bows at No. 1.
The former One Direction star arrives at the summit with The Show (Capitol/Universal), his third studio album — and his first solo leader.

Horan clears the last hurdle after his previous two albums, Flicker (from 2017) and Heartbreak Weather (2020) both peaked at the runner-up position.

As a member of 1D, Horan tasted victory with four albums: Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014).
