Hozier first reached Alternative Airplay with his breakthrough single “Take Me to Church,” which debuted at No. 38 on the July 5, 2014, survey. The song eventually peaked at No. 2 that November.
Since “Take Me to Church,” Hozier had appeared on Alternative Airplay with two tracks prior to “Too Sweet.” “Nina Cried Power,” featuring vocals from Mavis Staples, peaked at No. 31 in 2018, and “Eat Your Young” reached No. 13 last year.
Concurrently, “Too Sweet” continues its reign on Adult Alternative Airplay, ruling for an eighth week. It’s Hozier’s longest running No. 1 among six on the survey and the chart’s longest leading hit since Death Cab for Cutie’s “Here to Forever” dominated for eight weeks in August-October 2022.

“Too Sweet” also lifts to No. 1 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay tally thanks to 6.9 million audience impressions, up 5%, in the week ending June 20, according to Luminate. It’s likewise Hozier’s first leader; “Take Me to Church” peaked at No. 3 in 2014.
“Too Sweet” is the first song to top all three lists since The Killers’ “Boy” in September-October 2022. As “Boy” did not lead all three simultaneously, “Too Sweet” is the first to accomplish that particular feat since The Black Keys’ “Wild Child” in May 2022.
A multiformat hit, “Too Sweet” also rises to No.1 on Adult Pop Airplay, becoming Hozier’s second leader, following “Church” for a week in 2015, while ruling Pop Airplay for a second week. It also became his first No. 1 on the most recently published all-genre Radio Songs chart (dated June 22, reflecting data June 7-13) via 70.5 million audience impressions.
“Too Sweet” is from Hozier’s four-song EP Unheard, which debuted at No. 3 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums rankings dated April 6 and has earned 277,000 equivalent album units since its release.
All Billboard charts dated June 29 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, June 25.
Big Brother was supposed to take over in 1984 — not a 5’2”, 26-year-old musical polymath from Minnesota. But with the June 25, 1984, release of Purple Rain, Prince took his throne as a global pop star. The album “was like a magic bullet,” Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin tells Billboard ahead of Celebration 2024, a five-day Minneapolis party with performances from The Revolution, Morris Day and New Power Generation. “He knew there was lightning in a bottle.”
Purple Rain, which will turn 40 in June, poured onto Billboard’s pages as soon as it came out.

‘Wet Behind the Ears
When Prince released his debut album, For You, the April 29, 1978, Billboard hailed it as “a one-man gangbuster” from an “18-year-old musical phenomenon who goes only by the name Prince.” The reviewer predicted “across the board appeal,” but only “Soft and Wet” hit the Billboard Hot 100, and it stalled at No. 92. It wasn’t until 1999, his fifth album, that Prince sped to the chart’s top 10 with “Little Red Corvette” and “Delirious.”
Baby, He’s a Star
The June 2, 1984, Billboard called The Jacksons’ Victory the month’s biggest album, with Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. named the “next hottest.” The same article mentioned two other albums “by acts that hit platinum” — Prince and Jane Fonda. Two weeks later, Billboard identified Prince as a critics’ pick, “viewed with skepticism by pop programmers.” But a headline in the July 7 issue trumpeted that “Prince Keeps Springsteen Humble” as “When Doves Cry” flew to the peak of the Hot 100, shutting out The Boss’ “Dancing in the Dark.” By Aug. 4, Prince & The Revolution overthrew Springsteen atop the Billboard 200, and Purple Rain ruled for an astonishing 24 weeks.
‘Rain’ Storms Theaters
“Seeing Purple Rain makes it clear that the man from Minneapolis is certainly going to give anybody else making music this year a real hard time,” according to a movie preview in the July 28, 1984, Billboard. The next week’s issue called it “the most gripping contemporary rock movie in years,” as well as “the most performance-oriented music exploitation film since the glory days of Richard Lester’s classic Beatles films.” Another article, about the release of the single “Let’s Go Crazy,” reported that Prince had delivered “a second tour de force” — “even before the doves have stopped crying.” It became his second Hot 100 No. 1 in the Sept. 29 issue.
Crowning Achievement
An article in the Dec. 22, 1984, issue declared that the year had been “dominated by the phenomenon of His Purple Badness, thanks to a multimedia blitz of vinyl, video and film soundtracks” that “epitomized the upbeat creative and commercial climate.” “When Doves Cry” was revealed as the “top-selling single of the year.” But mainstream success didn’t clean up Prince’s dirty mind: The same issue noted that growing interest in B-side “Erotic City” — “fueled” by “controversial lyric content” — was forcing radio stations to “wrestle with how to deal with its popularity.”
This story appears in the June 22, 2024, issue of Billboard.
On June 22, 1974, Waylon Jennings’ “This Time” became his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. It was released as the lead single from his same-named LP, which he produced with Willie Nelson.
With “This Time,” which Jennings solely wrote, he achieved his first of 16 Hot Country Songs leaders (with his 31st entry on the chart). He notched his first of 53 top 10s with “(That’s What You Get) For Lovin’ Me,” which reached No. 9 in 1966. Among his No. 1 total, “Highwayman” – by Jennings, Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson – led in 1985.
Jennings was born June 15, 1937, in Littlefield, Texas. His storied career comprised an on-air stint at KLLL Lubbock, Texas, and his famed run as the balladeer on CBS’ The Dukes of Hazzard in 1979-85.

In 1959, Jennings played bass in Buddy Holly’s band on his Winter Dance Party Tour. He performed with Holly during the latter’s final show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Holly, J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper) and Ritchie Valens all perished in a plane crash that Feb. 3 following the concert.
Jennings, who played a big part in country music’s Outlaw movement of the 1970s, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001. He died in February 2002 at age 64 at his home in Mesa, Ariz., after a long battle with diabetes.
Jennings’ legacy is in vogue in 2024. His rebel ways were one of the most talked about elements in the recently released Netflix documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which chronicles his walking out of the recording of USA for Africa’s megahit, and four-week 1985 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, “We Are the World.”
“Waylon in ’75,” a track on Chayce Beckham’s debut album, Bad for Me, is just one example of today’s artists paying homage to him, Meanwhile, Shooter Jennings, the 45-year-old son of Jennings and Jessi Colter (who married in 1969), has announced that he’s uncovered unreleased music from his father and plans on releasing it in 2025.

“Help” wraps the fastest trip to No. 1 on Country Airplay since Garth Brooks’ “More Than a Memory” became the only hit in the survey’s 34-year history to arrive at the summit, in September 2007. Among songs that rose to No. 1 from another rank, “Help” completes the speediest sprint since Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying” reached the top in its seventh week in July 2004. Notably, the average rise to No. 1 this decade is 33 chart weeks.
Trending on Billboard
Post Malone logged one prior Country Airplay entry, as featured on an update of Joe Diffie’s “Pickup Man,” which hit No. 44 in January. (The original dominated for four frames beginning in December 1994.)
Post Malone is set to release his upcoming album, F-1 Trillion, Aug. 16, as he revealed via a billboard in Nashville Tuesday (June 18).
Meanwhile, “Help” grants Wallen his 13th Country Airplay No. 1. He’s charting an additional song in the list’s upper reaches: “Cowgirls,” featuring Ernest, hops 6-3 (26.3 million, up 16%).
“Help” has spent five weeks running at No. 1 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs (through the charts dated June 22).
Young’s ‘Young’ Is Top 10
Chris Young achieves his 18th Country Airplay top 10 as “Young Love & Saturday Nights” pushes 11-10 (18.9 million, up 5%). The song, which he co-penned, is his first to hit the tier since his team-up with Mitchell Tenpenny, “At the End of the Bar,” which became Young’s 11th No. 1, for a week in August 2022.

Tony Awards Spur Streaming Gains for Outsiders, Stereophonic & Jay-Z
[embedded content]
Last Sunday (June 16), Oscar winner Ariana DeBose hosted the Tony Awards for a third consecutive year as the Great White Way celebrated the best of the 2023-2024 theater season. Stereophonic – which features musical compositions written by former Arcade Fire member Will Butler – reigned as the night’s biggest winner with five awards, including best play, while the LaChanze and Angelina Jolie-produced Outsiders won best musical.
Trending on Billboard
In the two days following Stereophonic’s victory (June 17-18), the cast recording pulled 92,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, posting a whopping 152% increase from just 36,000 streams the Monday-Tuesday prior (June 10-11). Similarly, The Outsiders’ cast recording earned over 546,000 streams during the period of June 17-18, ballooning 90% from around 288,000 streams during the period of June 10-11.
While Jay-Z has yet to add a Tony to his seemingly endless collection of awards and accolades, the hip-hop legend made a surprise appearance at Sunday night’s telecast to perform “Empire State of Mind” alongside Alicia Keys, whose Hell’s Kitchen musical tied Stereophonic as the night’s most-nominated production (13), ultimately taking home two trophies. “Empire State of Mind” collected over 310,000 streams the day following the Tonys performance (June 17), an 8% boost from the 286,000 streams it earned the Monday prior (June 10).
Although he’s not outside as often as he used to be, the Tony telecast isn’t the only place the Brooklyn icon has surprised with a performance. Last Wednesday (June 12), Jay popped up for a surprise rendition of “Public Service Announcement” to open up Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony. In the three days immediately following the performance (June 13-15), the 2003 classic pulled in over 225,000 streams, marking a 65% increase from the 137,000 streams it earned the three days prior (June 10-12). – KYLE DENIS
No “Lie,” Tommy Richman Is About to Score Another Chart Hit
[embedded content]
Following up an out-of-nowhere smash is always a tall order — especially one as singular and immediately catchy as “Million Dollar Baby,” the falsetto-heavy rhythmic pop single from Virginia singer-rapper Tommy Richman. “Baby” crashed the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 following its April release, thanks in part to snippets of the song going viral on social media; as it stands, the song is the longest-running continuous No. 1 hit on the Billboard TikTok Top 50 chart, where it spends a fifth week in the top spot. “Baby” spends a seventh straight frame in the top 10 of the Hot 100 this week, falling two spots to No. 5 — but before “Baby” even turns two months old, Richman has already released its follow-up, and likely secured himself another Hot 100 entry.
“Devil Is a Lie,” a similarly funk-infused single unveiled last Friday (June 14), has been earning seven-figure streams each day: Over its first four days of release, the track scored 5.37 million U.S. on-demand streams, according to Luminate, as its daily streaming total has consistently notched a little over 1 million plays and is still growing as of Tuesday (June 18). That total is still a far cry from the red-hot start of “Baby” — which earned a whopping 16.6 million streams in its first four days of release. However, “Lie” should accrue enough chart points to notch a respectable Hot 100 debut next week, and quickly remove Richman from any one-hit-wonder chatter as “Baby” continues its top 10 run. – JASON LIPSHUTZ
310babii Nets Second Dance Hit With “Rock Your Hips”
[embedded content]
Mere months after securing his very first Hot 100 hit with “Soak City (Do It)” (No. 53), Inglewood rapper and recent high school graduate 310babii is eyeing another smash. Once again bolstered by an infectious dance trend, 310babii’s latest hit – which was released in early May, and features OhGeesy and BlueBucksClan — has steadily increased in streams for the past three weeks.
According to Luminate, “Rock Your Hips” earned over 1.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams during the week of June 6-13, marking a 29% increase from the 860,000 streams it collected the week prior (May 31-June 6). Just three weeks ago (May 17-23), “Rock Your Hips” was pulling just over 610,000 streams.
TikTok has been the biggest source of traction for the song, with the track’s official sound pulling over 54,600 posts – most of which are pegged to a CapCut template that lets users use AI to replicate the dance trend created by user @adoree_stook. On YouTube, the official lyric video has garnered over 300,000 views in less than a month. Between its steady rise and new boost of momentum thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s West Coast-glorifying Pop Out concert – which 310babii performed at — “Rock Your Hips” could end up following Crime Mob’s 2007 hit “Rock Yo Hips” onto the Hot 100 a couple decades later. – KD
Summer “Nights”: Kid LAROI Deep Cut Is Heating Up on Streaming
[embedded content]
While The Kid LAROI’s 2023 official debut album The First Time failed to match the chart impact of his breakout 2020 mixtape F*ck Love – peaking at No. 26 on the Billboard 200 and not spawning any singles the size of that set’s “Without You” or “Stay” – the album might not be done on the charts just yet. Deep cut “Nights Like This,” which at 1:27 feels closer to an interlude than a lead single, has been taking off on TikTok recently for its immersive cloud-rap production and hazy vocals, with many users deeming the song an unexpected sound for the singer-rapper.
In any event, listeners have clearly been falling under the spell of “Nights,” as the song has been rising rapidly on streaming the past month. For the tracking week ending May 23, the song pulled just under 425,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate, but by the week ending June 13, it was up to over 3 million – a three-week gain of 617%. LAROI himself has gotten in on the TikTok fun, captioning a post of him looking stunned at the camera with the tongue-in-cheek caption “I can’t believe Kid Laroi made this song” – though he commented more sincerely underneath the clip, “grateful this song is being discovered genuinely one of my favs #thanks love you all.” – ANDREW UNTERBERGER
Q&A: Talia Kraines, Senior Editor, US Pop at Spotify, on What’s Trending Up in Her World
Spotify recently unveiled its Songs of Summer predictions for 2024. How did that list of songs come together?
Our Songs of Summer predictions were built by our global music editors from many different genres all over the Northern Hemisphere. Our editors identify the songs we feel will excel in the warm, sunny weather, and we also analyze data that shows us our listeners are already loving these songs, and they have potential to grow even more. We also noticed that sounds beyond the Northern Hemisphere, including Afropop and amapiano, continue to make their way up and expand on a larger global scale for our summer, and we’re so excited to see the continued global growth of Tems and Tyla. Few things are more electrifying to a Spotify editor than loving a song and seeing the audience also love that song – that’s why you’ll find both big, obvious songs on the list, as well as some smaller artists that our editors are taking an early bet on.
A small group of editors then finalized the list down to the top 30 – we’ll be tracking throughout the summer and can’t wait to find out what song will win the crown!
What do you think is the most unexpected entry in this year’s shortlist?
I’m personally thrilled to include CYRIL’s “Stumblin’ In” in the list this year. It’s always fascinating when we see songs cross borders at different times and have an extensive lifespan; it’s such a great, holistic example of how editorial at Spotify works. CYRIL is Australian and made a new dance version of Suzi Quatro’s 1978 US & UK hit of the same name, which he released in November 2023. Our dance editors across the world loved the song and included it on local dance lists at the time, but I never would have guessed this song (or the music of Suzi Quatro!) would make this year’s Songs of Summer shortlist.
At the start of 2024, “Stumblin’ In” began to expand beyond Australia and experience global success, especially in Germany, France and the Netherlands. Our European dance editors brought the song back to the attention of the US & global dance team at the end of February, and we began to move the song on our global lists out of just dance, and into pop / hits spaces. Even though it really wasn’t on the radar of US listeners at all, we began testing it in US lists in March, and after seeing success on our platform, it’s grown into a huge hit, been signed to a US label and is now in Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits. It’s a great example of a song that’s had a whole life in Europe, and only now when the summer weather begins to orient US listening more towards dance music, it’s having its US adventure and is a hit all over the world. Definitely an unexpected song of Summer 2024!
Post Malone & Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” is the front-runner on Billboard’s own Song of the Summer chart, spending five weeks atop the Hot 100 to date. Why do you think that song has resonated so well at the beginning of summer?
When two huge superstars like Post Malone and Morgan Wallen come together, it’s almost guaranteed that you’re going to have a massive hit. We always see country music surging on Spotify in the summer, so Posty chose the perfect time for his pivot to country, and did it with a song that sounds warm, breezy and is the perfect soundtrack to rowdy summer nights around a bonfire or out on the town. Post Malone recently performed the song at Spotify House during CMA Fest, and let me tell you, the rest of the weekend was spent with everyone shouting the fun, backing vocal “help!” every two minutes. Utterly catchy and sounds good in almost any summertime situation, no wonder it’s a huge hit.
An extra element to this story is how it’s really cemented the global growth of country music outside of the U.S. While Australia, Canada and the UK have dipped their toes into country over the last few years, Post Malone, as well as fellow Songs of Summer nominees Shaboozey and Dasha, have seen unprecedented success in our Hot Hits flagships all over the world, including Norway, Italy and Brazil to name a few. Even the UK, often touted as an emerging country export market, has never really had country break through in a way it has this year.
Fill in the blank: the song featured on Spotify’s predictions list, that you think is going to be much bigger by the end of the summer than it is now, is _______.
“Nasty” by Tinashe – is the summer gonna match her freak? – JL
Season’s Gainings: Watch (and Listen to) the Thrones

At long last, House of the Dragon has returned to HBO. For those of us who got hooked on the Game of Thrones-verse back in the early 2010s, a new season of the show’s prequel series (whose first season came and went a long two years ago) is cause for celebration – and perhaps some commemorative streaming. Composer Ramin Djawadi’s theme to the original Thrones series – which has also been used by Dragon for each of its first two seasons – racked up nearly 51,000 official on-demand U.S. streams combined over this Monday and Tuesday following Sunday’s season premiere, a gain of over 50% from the same period the week before, according to Luminate. Now, let the debates over the show’s revamped credits sequence begin. – AU
Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” holds at No. 1 for the 18th week on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, released June 19.
Most likely due to the hype around the duo’s Yoyogi 1st Gymnasium shows over the weekend (June 15 and 16), the MASHLE Season 2 opener saw an increase in radio airplay this week and kept the decline in other metrics at a minimum. Total points for the long-running hit, now in its 23rd week on the Japan Hot 100, remained almost unchanged at 95% compared to the week before. R-shitei and DJ Matsunaga are set to perform their first Tokyo Dome concert in February 2025 and also announced the production of a new album.

Travis Japan’s “Sweetest Tune” debuts at No. 2. The seven-member group’s fifth single is being featured on the drama series Tokyo Tower and was digitally released June 10. The song launched with 44,971 downloads to top the metric, while coming in at No. 29 for streaming, No. 39 for radio, and No. 20 for video views. Comparing first-week figures to the boy band’s previous single, “T.G.I. Friday Night” — which also debuted on the Japan Hot 100 at No. 2 — downloads are down from 75,135 units but points for streaming, radio, and video have increased. In particular, streaming and video increased by 126% and 152%, respectively, indicating a shift in viewing trends.

In addition to her own album’s avalanche, Tems claims one more appearance on U.S. Afrobeats Songs through a feature on Tyla’s “No. 1.” The prior No. 5-peaking hit slips 13-18, due to the Born entries.
Born in the Wild is the first full-length offering from Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems. The body of work had been anticipated by fans and music industry insiders since her international breakthrough as a featured artist on Wizkid’s “Essence.” The song, after a remix with Justin Bieber, flew to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021, becoming the first top 10 hit for an Afrobeats genre track. Coveted further features followed, with an assist on Drake’s Certified Lover Boy track “Fountains,” also in 2021, and she and Drake’s guest appearances on Future’s “Wait for U” yielding a No. 1 Hot 100 debut in May 2022.
Around the same time, Tems’ song “Free Mind,” from her 2020 EP From Broken Ears, started to see increased streams, prompting an official radio campaign for the two-year old track. The push led to a huge triumph – “Free Mind” dominated the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for 22 weeks in 2022-23 and ranked as the chart’s No. 1 title on the 2023 year-end recap.

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity June 10-16. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
Since the chart’s September 2023 inception, Mitski’s “My Love Mine All Mine” had been the only song to rule for at least six weeks, stringing together three-week leads between Oct. 14-28, 2023, and Nov. 18-Dec. 2, 2023.
Trending on Billboard
The rule of “Million Dollar Baby” has occurred consecutively; it achieved the longest such streak at No. 1 upon the June 15 chart with its fifth frame in a row.
“Million Dollar Baby” was officially released April 26, though its premiere on TikTok came when Richman uploaded a snippet of the track on April 13, a clip that’s since accrued 13 million views as of June 18. A dance trend has been a major driver of activity on TikTok since.
Richman fends off a challenge from Sabrina Carpenter, whose “Please Please Please” vaults to No. 2 in its second week after debuting at No. 10. That’s concurrent with the newly released tune’s No. 2 debut on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100.
“Please Please Please” was first teased on TikTok on June 5, followed by its full release June 7. Its uploads are a grab bag of content, from makeup tutorials and transitions to lip-synching clips and general-interest videos.
In the week ending June 13, “Please Please Please” earned 50.3 million official U.S. streams, 533,000 radio audience impressions and 7,000 downloads toward the Hot 100, according to Luminate.
“Please Please Please” isn’t the only song to hit the TikTok Billboard Top 50’s top three for the first time. Tinashe’s “Nasty” climbs 7-3, a new peak in its fifth week on the tally.
A slow burner since its initial April 12 release, “Nasty” has risen on TikTok due to a dance trend soundtracked by the tune’s “I’ve been a nasty girl” refrain.
“Nasty” reaches a new peak of No. 69 on the latest Hot 100, Tinashe’s highest ranking song on the tally since “2 On,” featuring ScHoolboy Q, reached No. 24 a decade earlier.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” falls from No. 3 to No. 4 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while Sexyy Red and Drake’s “U My Everything” drops from No. 2 to No. 5 to round out the top five.
After debuting at No. 15 on the June 15-dated list, NXY0TAR0’s “Porsche” leads a pair of newcomers to the chart’s top 10, jumping 15-9. The song’s trend involves using a filter filling the screen with floating hearts while a clip of the uploader plays and rewinds on a loop.
