TikTok has been a major factor in the song’s growing profile, as a portion of its audio has been used in over 300,000 clips on the platform to date. (Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard’s charts except for the newly-launched TikTok & Billboard Top 50.) On Instagram, the song has been used in over 13,000 Reels.
The song also becomes just the second Hot 100-charting song for Dead Oceans/Secretly Group, the independent record label founded in 2007 by Chris Swanson and Phil Waldorf. The label first reached the chart with Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers’ charity cover of Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” (No. 57, 2020).
Mitski (full name: Mitski Miyawaki) first appeared on a Billboard chart in July 2016 with her fourth studio album Puberty 2. The set, her first release on Dead Oceans, reached No. 19 on Alternative Albums and No. 32 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums.
Since then, she has charted three albums on the Billboard 200: Be the Cowboy (No. 52, 2018), Laurel Hell (No. 5, 2022) and her latest a week ago. Laurel Hell also hit No. 1 on Alternative Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums.
In 2018, Mitski scored her first No. 1 on a Billboard chart, when “The Only Heartbreaker,” from Be the Cowboy, topped Adult Alternative Airplay. The song became her first of four total entries at the format, followed by “Love Me More” (No. 23 peak in 2022), “Should’ve Been Me” (No. 16, 2022) and current single “Bug Like an Angel” (up 17-16 on the latest chart, a new high).
Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 80th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Oct. 7), thanks to nine albums on the Billboard 200, and three songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Doja Cat’s Scarlet starts at No. 4 while Zach Bryan’s new Boys of Faith bows at No. 8.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 7, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Oct. 3. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
Of Nostalgia’s 88,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Sept. 28, SEA units comprise 87,500 (equaling 124.51 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 songs), album sales comprise 500, and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Nostalgia’s 88,000 sum is the smallest total for a No. 1 album in seven months, since SZA’s SOS led the list dated March 4 with 87,000 units.
Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping Guts holds at No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 (87,500 equivalent album units; down 34%) and Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 One Thing at a Time climbs one rung to No. 3 (73,000; down 3%).
Doja Cat captures her third top 10 album on the Billboard 200, all notched consecutively, as her new studio set Scarlet starts at No. 4 with nearly 72,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 65,000 (equaling 88.35 million on-demand official audio and video streams of the set’s 17 songs), album sales comprise 6,000 (the set was only available as a digital download, CD and in a deluxe boxed set with a T-shirt and CD) and TEA units comprise 1,000. The digital and streaming edition of the album was available in a standard 15-song edition and a deluxe 17-track version.
Scarlet was preceded by three charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “Demons,” “Paint the Town Red” and “Attention.” “Paint the Town Red” became her second No. 1 on the Hot 100 on the Sept. 16-dated chart (following 2020’s “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj).
Doja Cat previously hit the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with Planet Her (No. 2 in 2021) and Hot Pink (No. 9 in 2020).
Zach Bryan’s chart-topping self-titled album falls 3-5 on the new Billboard 200 (66,000 equivalent album units; down 16%), SZA’s SOS dips 5-6 (49,000; down 7%) and Travis Scott’s former leader Utopia descends 6-7 (just over 44,000; down 6%).
A second Bryan album appears in the top 10, as his new five-song Boys of Faith project bows at No. 8 with 43,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 39,000 (equaling 50.35 million on-demand official audio and video streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 4,000 and TEA units comprise 500. Boys of Faith is the third top 10-charting effort for Bryan, and second in 2023, following his self-titled No. 1, which debuted at the summit just four weeks earlier. He has also hit the top 10 with the No. 5-peaking American Heartbreak in 2022.
Rounding out the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 is Peso Pluma’s Génesis (moving 7-9 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned; down 7%) and Taylor Swift’s former leader Midnights (8-10 with 42,000; up less than 1%).

Learn what goes on behind the scenes of crafting and sustaining a successful Latin music festival from the most successful festival producers in the world.
Chris Den UijlIn the US when we launched Sueños, it was incredible feedback. We did 45,000 people per day, first year, and we had no idea what we were going to do. And we were just blown away. And to go into this year and see that grow. There’s a huge, huge need for consumption. But it’s completely different. We’re learning every single day that we need to challenge ourselves is, is that we don’t need to separate ourselves anymore from saying we have an inclusive Latin festival versus a multi-genre festival.
John FriasMy name is John Frias, the festival is in Los Angeles, and soon to be in Austin. It’s a quintessential festival of Los Angeles. It represents all of the culture that is in LA. It’s very representative of, of the diverse crowd and population and culture in Los Angeles, and just having the time of our lives.
Bruno Del GranadoExcellent. Next to John is my friend Chris, then out from Baja Beach, past suenos Coca Cola flow dynamics la familia on and on. Chris, can you tell us a little bit about your background and some of the festivals your work?
Chris Den UijlHi, everyone, thanks for coming. Um, yeah, so we launched a bunch of different festivals over the last 10 years. But specific to this panel, Baja Beach Fest launched about five years ago. And it’s really just a celebration for Latinos in general, we wanted to create an event that really just like celebrated culture was a platform for the artists to be able to express themselves in like a really united way, but also bring the same type of production that you know, the Anglo festivals that I typically came from brought to the Latin culture so trying to build, you know, one of the strongest kind of footprints for artists to express themselves. And yeah, as time has passed on, we’ve expanded that footprint in two different cities in Mexico, as well as launched a festival called Sueños in Chicago two years ago.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
The sales of the Who’s Next reissue was bolstered by its availability in multiple configurations. On the low end is the base original nine-track album remastered on CD, vinyl and digital download, up through a lavish $300 Super Deluxe Edition boxed set with 10 CDs, a Blu-Ray Audio disc, a 100-page hard back book, posters and other merchandise.

Enrique Iglesias & Maria Becerra, “Así Es La Vida“ (Sony Music Latin)
[embedded content]
In just two minutes and 49 seconds, Enrique Iglesias and Maria Becerra take us on an emotional journey in this sensual bachata about a tumultuous relationship that cannot go on. “That’s life, divine treasure/ Like a game of poker where you bet everything/ That’s how our love was, with its ups and downs,” Iglesias sings with resignation, while Becerra replies: “That’s life, in the end what do we have left?/ You chose the road and I chose the path/ We still love each other in different ways.”
The first single from Iglesias’ upcoming album Final (Vol. 2) — a follow up to his Final (Vol. 1) from 2021 — the song was produced by Carlos Paucar. It is not the first bachata from the pop superstar, whose love affair with the Dominican genre includes hits like “Loco” and “El Perdedor.” “Bachata is a rhythm that captured my heart from the moment I heard it,” Iglesias says in a press release. “I am delighted to return to this powerful genre, accompanied by the great talent of Maria, who is one of a kind.”
The release comes with a lyric video but, according to a press release, the official music clip for “Así Es La Vida” will be available soon. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS
Becky G, Esquinas (Kemosabe Records/RCA Records)
Becky G’s Esquinas is a heartfelt exploration of her dual identity as a proud 200 percenter. The title translates to “corners,” symbolizing the meeting point between two cultures. Celebrating her Mexican and American roots, the Inglewood native weaves a vibrant musical tapestry that spans corridos, rancheras and baladas while showcasing her deep reverence for her heritage. For instance, “2ndo Chance,” featuring Ivan Cornejo’s haunting vocals, kicks off the album with a dreamy, nostalgic ballad that sets the tone for an introspective journey through her bicultural upbringing. Then there’s the cheeky “Cries in Spanish,” a whimsical duet with fellow Mexican-American DannyLux, that’s set to sad sierreño. The album’s latest single, “Querido Abuelo,” stands as a touching tribute to her late grandfather, a gut-wrenching balada which honors the sacrifices made by our ancestors as children of immigrants. Becky’s vocals are at their most poignant here, manifesting her maturity and emotional depth. Also starring Yahritza y Su Esencia, Chiquis, Angela and Leonardo Aguilar, Peso Pluma, and Gabito Ballesteros, her third studio album is a testament to her growth as a “genreless” artist, she claims, and her commitment to representing her bloodline proudly. — ISABELA RAYGOZA
Juanes, “La Versión en mi Cabeza” (Universal Music Latino)
[embedded content]
Colombian rocker Juanes has released “La Versión en mi Cabeza” as part of the deluxe version of his successful album Vida Cotidiana, which earned him four nominations for the Latin Grammy 2023. The new song begins with soft chords from an electric guitar and the singer’s melodious voice, followed by soft percussion that unleashes the rock ballad. Written primarily by Venezuelan singer-songwriter Joaquina, the protagonist reflectively accepts and understands the fact of not being able to change his partner to meet his expectations. He finally realizes that the time has come to let go of that relationship: “I come back every time, even if I don’t want to/ To the version of you that only exists in my head/ I know you never wanted to hurt me/ But what do I do, ask you to change/ It’s too much,” goes the chorus. — LUISA CALLE
Paola Jara, Chiquis, “Lo Que No Sirve, Estorba” (Naeku)
[embedded content]
Paola Jara and Chiquis unite their potent voices to give life to a new girl-power anthem. “Lo Que No Sirve, Estorba,” which loosely translates to “what doesn’t work gets in the way,” is a hard-hitting norteña powered by accordions, trumpets and prickly acoustic guitars. The lyrics are defiant and bold, as Jara and Chiquis sing confidently about not only overcoming heartbreak but becoming a total boss along the way. “I was left alone with kids and yet I’m standing here as firm as ever,” Chiquis sings, to which Jara adds, “la otra (the other one) will wash your dirty clothes, I’m sure you’ll want to come back.” Jara and Chiquis’ collaboration brings together the best of both worlds: regional Mexican music and música popular, Colombia’s take on música mexicana. — GRISELDA FLORES
Venesti, De La Nada (AP Global Music)
For his debut studio album, Venesti has opted for a clever title: De La Nada, which translates to “Out of Nowhere.” But that’s precisely the point: the artist born Faiber Stiven Caicedo Castro is a rising Colombian artist from Cali who’s unexpectedly making waves in the music industry with his feel-good and refreshing 14-track set that’s influenced by many rhythmic melodies such as Afrobeat, dancehall, tropical and urban. Venesti is tall, dark and handsome, with a chiseled smile and suave vocals, best reflected in tracks such as “Culpables,” “Cuentale” and “Tú.” Off the bat, the Colombian newcomer is showcasing his versatility, also delivering infectious reggaetons (“Necesidad”), bossanova/trap fusions (“Sin Limite”), and even an electronic-bachata (“Cero Ilusiones”). De La Nada includes notable collaborators Jay Wheeler, Nacho, Maffio, Rios, and Randy of Jowell y Randy.
Venesti is confirmed for the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Week En Vivo concert series, where he will perform at the official kickoff party presented by AP Global Music. For tickets and information, click here. — JESSICA ROIZ
