Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone, blasts onto Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart, dated May 4, at No. 9. The launch ties for the highest in the list’s 27-year history – matching the No. 9 arrival of Swift’s own “Shake It Off” in 2014.
The new track, the lead single from Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department, becomes Swift’s record-extending 31st Adult Pop Airplay top 10, pushing her further ahead of Maroon 5, second with 27 top 10s. Post Malone notches his fifth top 10 on the chart.
“Fortnight” concurrently flies onto the Pop Airplay chart at No. 13, tying “Bad Blood,” in 2015, for Swift’s, and the tally’s, second-highest starting spot, after “Shake It Off” and Mariah Carey’s “Dreamlover,” in 1993, both soared in at No. 12.
On Adult Contemporary, “Fortnight” begins at No. 16, also marking Swift’s second-best bow, tied with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012; her “Anti-Hero” arrived at No. 14 in 2022.
(The rankings reflect songs’ plays on reporting adult top 40, mainstream top 40 and adult contemporary radio stations, respectively. Airplay is monitored by Mediabase, with data provided to Billboard by Luminate.)

“Fortnight” received concentrated play upon its April 19 release on The Tortured Poets Department. Notably, iHeartMedia-owned Pop Airplay panelists WHTZ (Z100) New York and KIIS Los Angeles devoted their entire 12 a.m. and 9 p.m. hours that day to songs from the set.
Meanwhile, two other cuts from The Tortured Poets Department debut on Adult Pop Airplay: “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” at No. 36, and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” at No. 37. Audacy-owned WWMX Baltimore (28 plays April 19-25) and Hubbard Broadcasting’s WTMX Chicago (27) led Adult Pop Airplay reporters in first-week support for the former, which also enters Pop Airplay No. 40.

As previously reported, The Tortured Poets Department, released on Republic Records, has, after its first six days of release, broken the single-week streaming record in the U.S. for an album, according to initial reports to Luminate, as the 31 songs across its deluxe edition generated 799 million on-demand official streams in the U.S. April 19-24.
Plus, The Tortured Poets Department earned 2.5 million equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first six days. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 1.85 million.
The album’s final first-week numbers (equivalent album units, total traditional album sales and streaming figures) are expected to be announced by Billboard this Sunday, April 28, along with its assumed large debut on the multi-metric Billboard 200 albums chart. The top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart is expected to be revealed Monday, April 29.

Green Day’s 13th No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart comes courtesy of “Dilemma,” which rises to the top of the May 4-dated tally.
Green Day first ruled Alternative Airplay with its premiere entry, “Longview,” for a week in June 1994, marking the first of the band’s two No. 1s that year; “Basket Case” paced the field for five weeks two months later.

12, Linkin Park
11, Cage the Elephant

“Dilemma” is Green Day’s first No. 1 since “Oh Yeah!” reigned for a week in April 2020. In between the two, the band hit No. 28 with “Pollyanna” in 2021, followed “The American Dream Is Killing Me” (No. 2, last November).
Concurrently, “Dilemma” leads Mainstream Rock Airplay for a second week. It also tops the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart for a fifth week with 8 million audience impressions, up 1%, April 19-25, according to Luminate.
On the most recently published multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (dated April 27, covering data April 12-18), “Dilemma” ranked at No. 45, a new high. In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 307,000 official U.S. streams in that span.

Luck of the Irish
Hi Gary,
Trending on Billboard
The skilled Hozier is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Too Sweet.” I love that the Irish musician’s birthday is St. Patrick’s Day (which, as I understand it, is a bigger day in the U.S. than in his homeland).
Hozier is also a bit lucky, given the timing of Taylor Swift’s new material, which is set to storm the Hot 100 next week. Meanwhile, her new set’s lead single, “Fortnight,” features an artist with another notable birthday, as Post Malone was born on July 4.
Happy holidays!

Hi Pablo,
Hozier finds a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as “Too Sweet” tops the Hot 100. What a fun coincidence that the Newcastle, County Wicklow, native, 34, was born on St. Patrick’s Day, making him the first Irish artist with that birthdate to have led the list.
It seems similar to Jimmy Buffett and Annie Lennox having both been born on Dec. 25 and both boasting seasonal songs in their catalogs, including the latter’s “Winter Wonderland,” recorded by Eurythmics. Late legend Buffett charted two titles on the Top Holiday Albums tally: 1996’s Christmas Island and 2016’s ‘Tis the Season.
Plus, Dido, also born on Dec. 25, aptly contributed to the Yuletide musical canon with her recording of “Christmas Day.”
As for Post Malone, he has joined fellow artists John Waite and Bill Withers with July 4 birthdays, and all three have hit No. 1 on the premier songs chart in the U.S. Withers just missed fireworks atop the Hot 100 on July 4, as his “Lean on Me” began a three-week rule on the chart dated July 8, 1972. The song is, however, the closing track on the 2001 Billboard 200 top 10 compilation album God Bless America.
Meanwhile, Dec. 13 is a noteworthy birthday for Billboard chart-topping acts. Along with Swift, candles that day are blown out each year by Randy Owen, the lead vocalist on Alabama’s 33 Hot Country Songs No. 1s, the most among groups in the survey’s history; Morris Day, of The Time; Tom DeLonge, of Blink-182; Jamie Foxx; and Amy Lee, of Evanescence.
‘Cruel Summer’ Hits 50 Weeks on Hot 100
The race for the Hot 100’s top song of the 2020s still has plenty of contenders ahead, but, for now, “Cruel Summer” contributes to more chart history for Swift. As it becomes her fourth hit to spend at least 50 weeks on the Hot 100, she is the only woman with that many songs that have stayed on the chart for at least that long.
Overall, Swift is tied with Imagine Dragons and her “Fortnight” partner Post Malone with four songs each that have spent at least 50 weeks on the Hot 100 (or 25 fortnights). Only Ed Sheeran and Morgan Wallen have more, with five apiece. Here’s a rundown of their such hits, through the chart dated April 27. (Of the more than 30,000 singles to reach the ranking in its history, only 126 have charted for at least 50 weeks.)
Ed Sheeran:
59 weeks, “Shape of You,” No. 1 (12 weeks), beginning Jan. 28, 2017
58, “Thinking Out Loud, No. 2 peak, Jan. 31, 2015
57, “Perfect,” No. 1 (six weeks), Dec. 23, 2017
56, “Bad Habits,” No. 2, Aug. 28, 2021
52, “Shivers,” No. 4, Jan. 15, 2022
Morgan Wallen:
62 weeks, “You Proof,” No. 5 peak, Oct. 22, 2022
60, “Last Night,” No. 1 (16 weeks), beginning March 18, 2023
57, “Wasted On You,” No. 9, Jan. 23, 2021
55, “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” No. 7, Nov. 4, 2023
52, “Thought You Should Know,” No. 7, March 18, 2023

The Most Weeks Peaking at Any Hot 100 Position
Hi Gary,
What are the most weeks that a song has peaked at any position on the Hot 100? No. 1 is pretty well known, thanks to the 19 weeks on top for Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019, but what about other ranks?
Thanks,
Senan Sheridan
Hi Senan,
We can highlight yet another record for “Old Town Road,” as its 19 weeks atop the Hot 100 mark not only the most at No. 1 but the most at any peak rank on the chart.
Here’s a look at the positions at which songs have spent the most time (seven weeks or more) peaking on the Hot 100:
19 weeks, No. 1: “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, 2019
11 weeks, No. 3: “Another Night,” Real McCoy, 1994-95
10 weeks, No. 2: “Work It,” Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott, 2002-03; “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” Foreigner, 1981-82
8 weeks, No. 6: “I Want It That Way,” Backstreet Boys, 1999
7 weeks, No. 4: “My Place,” Nelly feat. Jaheim, 2004; “Hold Me,” Fleetwood Mac, 1982
7 weeks, No. 5: “Bubbly,” Colbie Caillat, 2007
7 weeks, No. 10: “When the Lights Go Out,” Five, 1998
7 weeks, No. 86: “Hit the Freeway,” Toni Braxton feat. Loon, 2002
[embedded content]
Clearly, Braxton’s single is the outlier among the songs listed above, as it’s the only title to have spent as many as seven weeks peaking at a position on the Hot 100 outside the top 10, or even the top 40. Notably, “Hit the Freeway” merged onto the chart at No. 86 and didn’t change lanes, holding at that rank, for its first seven weeks on the survey. That remained its peak, until it exited after 14 total weeks.
Still, the track is prominent in Braxton’s catalog, as it rode to a No. 32 high on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and has drawn 6.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate, to date.
It’s a Taylor Swift sweep on Australia’s charts, as The Tortured Poets Department (via Universal) and “Fortnight” blast to No. 1.
Tortured Poets opens at the summit of the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, April 26, for her lucky 13th leader in these parts.
With that result, Swift boasts the most No. 1 albums for a solo female artist in ARIA chart history, moving ahead of Madonna to claim outright third place.
The all-time leader among acts with the most chart-topping albums in Australia is Jimmy Barnes with 15 as a solo act (he had another five with Cold Chisel), followed by the Beatles with 14.

Meanwhile, Swift scoops the chart double with “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone opening at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, for her 12th leader on that tally. With a dozen singles chart leaders, Swift sits third on the all-time list of artists here, trailing Elvis Presley (No. 14) and The Beatles (No. 26).
At the same time, she becomes the first artist to hold the entire top 10 on the singles chart, and establishes a new mark for the most singles in the top 50, with 29 on the current frame. That creams the old record of 20, set by Drake in 2021 and by herself in 2023.
Trending on Billboard
All 31 tracks from the double album impact the top 100, with “Robin” the lowest at No. 55. Three older songs sit in the top 100 (“Cruel Summer,” “Anti Hero” and “Lover”), meaning Swift has more than one-third of all songs in the top 100 (34). The previous record was 32 in one week, ARIA reports, held by Michael Jackson and Taylor.
Swift, whose The Eras Tour visited Australia in late 2023 for seven shows, is the only artist in ARIA history to replace themselves at No. 1 on the national albums tally. She has done it three times, including this month with Tortured Poets replacing Lover (earlier, in 2023, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) replaced Midnights; and in March 2024, Lover replaced Midnights).
According to a statement issued late Friday by Universal Music Australia, Tortured Poets is the most-sold album on vinyl in ARIA history, the market’s most-streamed LP in its opening week, and the biggest album debut since Adele’s 25 in 2015.
Remarkably, only two of the U.S. pop superstar’s studio or re-recorded albums have failed to reach the summit in Australia — her self-titled debut, Taylor Swift (peaking at No. 33 in 2006) and Fearless (No. 2 in 2008). Fearless (Taylor’s Version) did, however, climb the summit in 2021.
In non TTPD-related ARIA Chart news, Pearl Jam bows at No. 2 with Dark Matter, the Seattle rock legends’ 12th studio album. Pearl Jam has had eight No. 1 albums in Australia: Vs. in 1993, Vitalogy in 1994, No Code in 1996, Yield in 1998, Binaural in 2000, Riot Act in 2002, Backspacer in 2009 and Lightning Bolt in 2013. Dark Matter is the followup to 2020’s Gigaton, which peaked at No. 3.
Eagles fly back onto Billboard’s charts with the band’s new best-of, To the Limit: The Essential Collection. The retrospective debuts at No. 9 on Top Album Sales, No. 6 on Top Rock Albums, No. 8 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums and No. 8 on Top Current Album Sales (all charts dated April 27). It also launches at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 – the group’s 12th top 40-charting effort on the tally.

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.

Hozier doesn’t just have his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – he’s also topping Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the first time, as “Too Sweet” lifts to the summit of the April 27-dated survey.
“Too Sweet” reigns with 35.6 million official U.S. streams accumulated April 12-18, according to Luminate.
Though that’s a drop from the previous frame’s count of 36.7 million listens April 5-11 (the song’s top single-week sum to date), the song rules thanks to a more precipitous drop for the previous No. 1, Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s “Like That.” While “Too Sweet” drops 3%, “Like That” plummets 13% to 34.8 million streams April 12-18.
“Too Sweet” marks Hozier’s first No. 1 on Streaming Songs, which began in 2013. “Take Me to Church” had been his previous best, peaking at No. 2 in 2015.
Between “Take Me to Church” and “Too Sweet,” he had an additional appearance on the ranking in the form of Noah Kahan’s “Northern Attitude,” on which he’s featured via the song’s late-2023 redo; the track reached No. 23 last November.
Concurrently, “Too Sweet” rules Rock Streaming Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs for a fourth week each after debuting atop both tallies dated April 6.
As previously reported, “Too Sweet” takes over No. 1 on the multimetric Hot 100, also Hozier’s first ruler, surpassing the No. 2 peak of “Take Me to Church.” It has reigned on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs for all four frames since its debut.
The multiformat radio hit continues to climb multiple rankings; its peaks so far include No. 13 on Adult Alternative Airplay, No. 20 on Rock & Alternative Airplay, No. 23 on both Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay and No. 26 on Alternative Airplay.
“Too Sweet” is featured on Unheard, a four-song EP featuring leftover tracks from the singer-songwriter’s 2023 album Unreal Unearth. Premiered March 22, Unheard has earned 127,000 equivalent album units to date.

“Tell Ur Girlfriend” rules after debuting at No. 11 on the April 20 tally. It unseats Alek Olsen’s “Someday I’ll Get It,” which had reigned for four straight weeks.
Trending on Billboard
The Lay Bankz song, which was released in February, has mainly benefited from a dance trend highlighting the chorus, with influencer Charli D’Amelio one of the high-profile creators getting in on the craze in recent days.
Concurrently, “Tell Ur Girlfriend” debuts at No. 58 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, Bankz’s first appearance on the ranking. It accrued 8.8 million chart-eligible U.S. streams April 12-18, a boost of 56%, according to Luminate.
Artemas’ “I Like the Way You Kiss Me,” meanwhile, rises to a new peak of No. 2 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50. Despite continuing to ascend the chart, the song still lacks a major throughline trend, with uploads using the tune ranging from memes to general-interest clips. The song takes another step toward the top 10 of the Hot 100, shooting 16-12 on the latest survey, paced by 19.8 million streams, up 5%.
G-Eazy’s “Lady Killers II” remains at No. 3 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while Bakar’s Summer Walker-assisted “Hell N Back” and FloyyMenor and Cris Mj’s “Gata Only” round out the top five at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. Both songs were covered in the previous chart article; “Hell N Back” remains centered around a relationship- or friendship-based trend using Walker’s “I was over love, I had enough, then I found you” lyric, while “Gata Only” stems from a dance trend.
Aside from “Tell Ur Girlfriend,” the other tune that’s a newcomer to the TikTok Billboard Top 50’s top 10 is a classic in Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love,” which vaults to No. 8. The ‘70s tune has been a mainstay on user-generated content platforms since its synch in the 2014 movie Guardians of the Galaxy, and its latest resurgence is based on both dancing and lip-synching clips.
“Come and Get Your Love,” which reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 1974, accumulated 3.2 million streams April 12-18, a 26% leap.
The week’s top debut on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 is Daren Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s performance of “Verdi: Messa da Requiem: II. Dies Irae,” which bows at No. 14. Its premiere is thanks to a meme trend on TikTok soundtracking a painting of a courtroom scene, usually with the caption “She won’t stop saying it” or something similar.
And Taylor Swift? She’s on the latest chart as well, with “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” and “Fortnight,” the latter featuring Post Malone, debuting at Nos. 25 and 50, respectively, via three days of data after the April 19 premiere of Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department. More entries – as well as rises for both songs – are possible on the May 4-dated TikTok Billboard Top 50, which will cover metrics accumulated April 22-28.
