On Sept. 24, 1988, Dan Sealsâ âAddictedâ hit No. 1 on Billboardâs Hot Country Songs chart. It became the eighth of his 11 career leaders on the list.
Cheryl Wheeler wrote the song following a conversation with her sister, who was deciding whether or not to stay in a relationship. ââAddictedâ came really fast to me,â Wheeler has said. âIâd just hung up the phone with the person the song is about, after sheâd said, âI feel like Iâm addicted to a real bad thing.â Chordally (is that a word?), it has a lot more going on than most of my stuff.â
Wheeler first released âAddictedâ on her 1987 LP Half a Book. In addition to Seals, Blake Shelton also recorded the ballad, for the iTunes deluxe edition of his 2011 album Red River Blue. Wheeler added a second Hot Country Songs top 10 as a writer via Suzy Boggussâ version of âAcesâ (No. 9, 1992), while Garth Brooks reworked her song âIf It Were Up to Meâ in 1999.

Sealsâ âAddictedâ was released as the first of three singles from his LP Rage On, his third of three top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart. Second single âBig Wheels in the Moonlightâ topped Hot Country Songs for a week and âThey Rage Onâ hit No. 5.
âAddictedâ became Sealsâ eighth of nine straight No. 1 singles in 1985-89, a streak that started with his first leader, âMeet Me in Montana,â with Marie Osmond.
Born in McCamey, Texas, on Feb. 8, 1948, Seals was first known as half the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley. The pair notched four top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100, with 1976âs âIâd Really Love to See You Tonightâ its strongest showing (No. 2). Meanwhile, Seals & Crofts, comprised of Sealsâ older brother Jim Seals and Dash Crofts, tallied three Hot 100 top 10s, starting with âSummer Breezeâ in 1972.
Dan Seals was diagnosed with non-Hodgkinâs lymphoma in 2008. Following treatments, including a stem cell transplant, he passed in 2009 at age 61.
Australians just love Olivia Rodrigoâs Guts.

The top new entry on the albums tally belongs to Teddy Swims (real name: Jaten Dimsdale), whose debut Iâve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) (via Warner) bows at No. 4. The Atlanta, GA vocalist completed a national headline tour last month, produced by Frontier Touring.
The current ARIA top five is completed by Travis Scottâs former leader Utopia (Epic/Sony), down 3-5.
Also new to the top frame is Jared Letoâs Thirty Seconds To Mars with Itâs The End Of The World But Itâs A Beautiful Day (Concord/Universal), new at No. 9. The U.S. alternative rock outfitâs career-best chart position in Australia is a No. 4 peak for 2013âs Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams.
Further down the list, Mitski lands her second title on the ARIA Chart with The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We (Dead Oceans/Inertia), new at No. 13. The Japanese-American artist previously cracked the top 10 with 2022âs Laurel Hell, peaking at No. 7.
U.S. rapper Sleepy Hallow, meanwhile, bags his first appearance on the ARIA Chart with Boy Meets World (RCA/Sony), his second studio LP. Itâs new at No. 32.
Over on the national singles tally, published Friday, Sept. 22, Doja Catâs âPaint The Town Redâ (via RCA/Sony) enters a fifth week at the summit. âPaint The Town Redâ is lifted from the U.S. artist and producerâs fourth solo studio album Scarlet, which arrived earlier today.
The top five is completed by Swiftâs âCruel Summerâ (up 4-3), Morgan Wallenâs âLast Nightâ (up 5-4 via Republic/Universal) and Tate McRaeâs âGreedyâ (RCA/Sony), new at No. 5 for the weekâs top debut. Thatâs a career high for the Canadian artist, whose previous best was No. 7 in 2020 for âYou Broke Me First.â
Kenya Graceâs âStrangersâ (Warner) is making a strong connection with Australian audiences. The South Africa-born, U.K.-based artistâs major label debut bounces 30-6 in its third week on the survey.
Finally, Drake and SZAâs âSlime You Outâ (Universal) slides to No. 12 on debut.
Peso Pluma, Jasiel NuĂąez and Junior H combine forces with âBipolar,â as the song debuts at No. 7 on Billboardâs Hot Latin Songs chart dated Sept. 23. While Pluma has previously teamed up with both Mexican artists, âBipolarâ is the first three-way effort by the corridos singers.
âBipolarâ launches at No. 7 on Hot Latin Songs fueled by streaming and radio activity. According to Luminate, the song registered 7.9 million official U.S. streams during the Sept. 8-14 tracking week, to yield a No. 4 start on Latin Streaming Songs; itâs a first top 10 for NuĂąez there. The song also surges 45-31 on the overall Latin Airplay with a 25% gain in audience impressions, to 3.6 million. Sales, meanwhile, account for a negligible amount but enough to open at No. 5 on Latin Digital Song Sales. Hot Latin Songs blends airplay, streaming data, and digital sales.
NuĂąez, a newly signed artist to Peso Plumaâs Double P Records label, scores his first top 10 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs. Heâs Plumaâs frequent collaborator, landing two other entries on his Billboard chart career which began in 2023. The co-billed âRosa Pastelâ reached a No. 20 high in July, while âLagunasâ peaked at No. 13 on the Aug. 19-dated ranking.
Junior H, meanwhile, picks up his fifth top 10, four of which are Pluma partnerships. His own âEl Azulâ earned the 23-year-old his first entry to the upper region in May.
As for Pluma, he logs his 15th top 10 hit, including two champs. He last reached the top 10 through Karol Gâs four-week ruler âQlonaâ (Sept. 2-dated list).
Pluma, NuĂąez and Junior Hâs collaboration becomes the fourth top 10 debut by three or more artists overall in 2023. Notably, all but one belongs to Pluma, and all are regional Mexican songs. Hereâs the list of top 10 tripartite entries this year:
Peak Position, Title, Artists, Peak DateNo. 10, âVVS,â Peso Pluma, Edgardo Nunez & Los Dareyes de La Sierra, July 8,No. 8, âQue Onda,â Calle 24 x Chino Pacas x Fuerza Regida, Sept. 16No. 3, âLady Gaga,â Peso Pluma, Gabito Ballesteros & Junior H, Sept. 23No. 7, âBipolar,â Peso Pluma, Jasiel NuĂąez and Junior H, Sept. 23
Beyond its top 10 debut on Hot Latin Songs, âBipolarâ rises to a new No. 13 peak on Regional Mexican Airplay. Plus, it debuts at No. 60 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, at No. 86 on Billboard Global 200 and at No. 175 on Global Excl. U.S. charts.

Fleetwood Macâs from-the-vaults release Rumours: Live debuts at No. 4 on Billboardâs Top Album Sales chart (dated Sept. 23). Itâs the highest debut on the list for the band in more than 20 years, since the actâs last full-length studio album, Say You Will, opened at No. 2 in May 2003.
Comprised almost entirely of previously unreleased recordings, Rumours: Live captures the bandâs Aug. 29, 1977, concert at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., during the actâs Rumours Tour. The trek was in support of its then-most-recent studio release Rumours, which had bowed earlier in 1977. That album would spend 31 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart â still the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a group. The set launched four top 10-charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including the groupâs lone chart-topper, âDreams.â
Also in the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart, new releases from Olivia Rodrigo, V, Tyler Childers and BOYNEXTDOOR all arrive, while Lauren Daigleâs self-titled album re-enters the chart straight into the top 10 after a deluxe reissue.
Billboardâs Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chartâs 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.
Rumours: Live sold a little over 10,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 14, according to Luminate. Among the songs featured on the album are such Hot 100 hits as âDreams,â âOh Well,â âLandslide,â âOver My Head,â âRhiannon,â âYou Make Loving Funâ and âGo Your Own Way.â Rumours: Live was available to purchase as a digital download album or in three physical iterations (a 180-gram double vinyl set, a crystal-clear colored double vinyl set sold via Walmart, and a two-CD package). Vinyl accounted for 44.5% of the albumâs first-week sales.
At No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Olivia Rodrigoâs Guts debuts with 150,000 copies sold. Of that sum, physical sales comprise 138,000 (94,000 on vinyl, 43,000 on CD and 1,000 on cassette) and digital download sales comprise 12,000. Gutsâ vinyl sales mark the seventh-largest week for a vinyl album since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991.
Gutsâ first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 13 different vinyl variants. Among the variants: a signed edition and exclusive color vinyl and picture-disc editions sold through Amazon, independent record stores, Spotify, Target, Urban Outfitters, Walmart and Rodrigoâs webstore. Gutsâ sales also got a boost from four CD editions (including a signed version), a cassette tape and four deluxe boxed sets sold through Rodrigoâs webstore (each containing a CD or vinyl LP along with branded merchandise).
BTSâ V sees his debut solo studio effort Layover enter at No. 2 on Top Album Sales with 88,000 copies sold. Of its first-week sales, physical sales comprise 79,000 (all on CD) and digital download sales comprise a little over 9,000. Layoverâs debut was enhanced by its availability in collectible CD offerings â 13 in total.
The set was released in three standard iterations (dubbed Layover 1, Layover 2 and Layover 3, each containing branded paper goods and merchandise specific to the iteration like photobooks, lyric books, posters, postcards and photocards, as well as randomized stickers). Each iteration was also available in variants sold exclusively through Barnes & Noble, Walmart and the Weverse store (a total of nine; and each retailer had its own exclusive photocard enclosed in the three variants). Lastly, Target carried its own exclusive version of the album (with a Target-exclusive photocard), where one of the three iterations of the album (Layover 1, 2 or 3) were sold to the customer (with online buyers randomly shipped one of the three iterations).
Tyler Childersâ Rustinâ in the Rain bows at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 25,000 copies sold. Of that sum, physical sales comprise 17,500 (with 15,000 on vinyl and 2,500 on CD) and digital album sales comprise 7,500. The album was sold in four different vinyl variants, as well as three deluxe boxed sets exclusive to his webstore (each containing a vinyl LP and branded merch).
Taylor Swiftâs chart-topping Speak Now (Taylorâs Version) is a non-mover at No. 5 on Top Album Sales with a little over 9,000 sold (down 3%), NewJeansâ former leader 2nd EP âGet Upâ falls 4-8 with nearly 9,000 (down 19%), Rodrigoâs former No. 1 Sour shoots 50-7 with a little over 8,000 (up 288%), and Swiftâs former No. 1 Midnights dips 7-8 with nearly 8,000 (up 1%).
Lauren Daigleâs self-titled album re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 9 (nearly 8,000 sold; up 1,255%), prompted by its deluxe reissue on Sept. 8 with additional tracks. The set initially debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the May 27-dated chart. The deluxe edition of the album was released in four vinyl variants (including exclusives for Barnes & Noble and the artistâs webstore), four CD variants (including a Target-exclusive cover variant, a zine/CD package, a signed CD and a lenticular cover version), and was available in two Fan Pack offerings (where a piece of branded merchandise was sold alongside a physical copy of the album).
Rounding out the top 10 of Top Album Sales is BOYNEXTDOORâs debut album Why.., which starts at No. 10 with nearly 8,000 sold. The K-pop effort was available in eight collectible CD editions (including exclusive iterations sold through Barnes & Noble, Target and the Weverse store), each with a standard set of branded paper goods and merchandise items (photobooks, film photos, posters, stickers, and the like) and randomized items (including photocards and post cards).
The album was initially released to purchase as a digital download album on Sept. 4, followed by its CD release on Sept. 8. In the week ending Sept. 14, CD sales comprised 99.8% of the albumâs sales, with digital downloads comprising the remaining 0.2%.
In the week ending Sept. 14, there were 1.766 million albums sold in the U.S. (up 8.3% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.437 million (up 11.6%) and digital albums comprised 328,000 (down 4.1%).
There were 649,000 CD albums sold in the week ending Sept. 14 (up 19.4% week-over-week) and 779,000 vinyl albums sold (up 6.1%). Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 24.475 million (up 1.5% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 32.66 million (up 20.1%).
Overall year-to-date album sales total 70.597 million (up 6.7% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 57.512 million (up 11.3%) and digital album sales total 13.085 million (down 9.9%).
Young Nudy achieves a milestone feat as his song âPeaches & Eggplantsâ featuring 21 Savage pushes 14-7 to reach the top 10 on Billboardâs Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The track advances on the list dated Sept. 23 after the release of its remix with Latto and Sexyy Red on Sept. 8. (As the original version of âPeaches & Eggplantsâ contributes most of the weekâs activity, the songâs chart listing is not updated to include Latto and Sexxy Red.)
âPeaches & Eggplantsâ becomes the East Atlanta, Ga.-nativeâs second Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10 and matches his prior such hit, 2022âs âUmbrellaâ with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, for his best career peak on the list. Unlike âUmbrella,â however, an album cut from Metro Boominâs Heroes & Villains album that debuted at its peak and spent five weeks on the chart, âPeaches & Eggplantsâ has steadily worked its way up, cracking the top 10 in its 19th week on the list.
For featured artist 21 Savage, who is also Young Nudyâs cousin, âPeaches & Eggplantsâ is his 28th visit to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songsâ top 10, and his second debut in the region in 2023, following his and Rob49âs supporting spots on Travis Scottâs âTopia Twins,â which launched at No. 10 last month.

In the latest tracking week, Sept. 8 -14, âPeaches & Eggplantsâ garnered 11.7 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, up 68% from 7 million in the prior week. The surge powers a 23-6 flight on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, where it captures the weekâs Greatest Gainer tag for the biggest increase among the chartâs 25 titles.
In the radio world, the song also registered 11.7 million audience impressions across all formats, a 5% lift compared with the previous frame. On the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, âPeaches & Eggplantsâ scores another top 10 placement, moving 11-10 thanks to 9.6 million impressions from that format, up 8% in that sector. Plus, the song holds at No. 10 for a third week on Rap Airplay, with a 4% boost in the latest tracking week.
Elsewhere, âPeaches & Eggplantsâ rallies 11-6 on Hot Rap Songs and 51-33 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Buffett, who died Sept. 1 at age 76, replaces himself atop Rock Digital Song Sales, where his signature song, 1977âs âMargaritaville,â led the Sept. 16-dated ranking (16,000 sold, up 8,415%, Sept. 1-7). The latter ranks at No. 3 on the latest list with 3,000 sold.
âBubbles Upâ is Buffettâs second career No. 1 on a Billboard songs chart as the only credited artist on a newly released song: âMargaritavilleâ led the Adult Contemporary chart dated May 28, 1977. He last topped Billboard album charts with new music thanks to his most recent LP, Life on the Flip Side, in 2020.
âBubbles Upâ is joined by âMy Gummie Just Kicked Inâ (No. 5; 3,000 sold) and âLike My Dogâ (No. 6; 2,000) as new Buffett tunes on Rock Digital Song Sales. All three songs arrived Sept. 8 and are set to be on Equal Strain on All Parts, Buffettâs 32nd studio album, due Nov. 3.
Buffett music accounts for eight of the Rock Digital Song Sales chartâs 25 positions. In addition to the four tunes noted above, classics âA Pirate Looks at Fortyâ (No. 12; 1,400 sold), âChanges in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudesâ (No. 16; 1,100), âCheeseburger in Paradiseâ (No. 18; 1,000) and âSon of a Son of a Sailorâ (No. 22; 1,000) also place on the Sept. 23 tally.
âBubbles Upâ additionally begins at No. 2 on Country Digital Song Sales and No. 4 on the all-format Digital Song Sales chart, while its sales and 908,000 official U.S. streams send it to a No. 47 debut on the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs survey.

Myke Towersâ âLalaâ takes the Puerto Rican artist to No. 1 on Billboardâs Latin Airplay chart as the viral hit jumps 2-1 on the overall Latin tally dated Sept. 16. The new champ follows a double win, as the song commanded the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts each for at least one week.
âLalaâ is one of 23 tracks on Towersâ latest album La Vida Es Una, which granted him a third straight top 10 on Top Latin Albums (No. 9 high in April). The single blew up on TikTok after the music video dropped July 28, with over 5 million clips pouring into the platform to ignite a successful radio campaign. (Activity directly on the TikTok platform does not currently count toward the Billboard charts.)
âLalaâ pushes to No. 1 on Latin Airplay in its eighth week despite a 1% dip in audience impressions, with 8.7 million, earned in the U.S. during the Sept. 8-14 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The new champ arrives just five months after Towersâ âUlala,â with Daddy Yankee, took over the overall ranking for one week (April 8-dated list). With the new hit, Towers nabs his ninth No. 1, dating back to âCaramelo,â with Ozuna and Karol G, his first and longest-leading entry, three weeks atop in 2020.
In addition to its new Latin Airplay domination, âLalaâ previously ruled Global Excl. U.S. and Latin Rhythm Airplay: On the former, it vaulted from No. 13 to No. 1 in July with 70.4 million streams outside the U.S. (drops 3-4 on the current tally); on the latter, it rebounds to its No. 1 peak for a second week in charge.
Further, the viral activity for âLalaâ fueled a rise in streams, peaking at No. 4 on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs on the Aug. 12-dated list, which blends airplay, digital sales, and streams. There, the song dips 5-6 with 7.94 million U.S. streams, thatâs a 7% decline from the week prior.

With âUn Cigarrilo,â Corleone acquires his fourth top 10. He visited the upper region three times prior through a trio of rulers, starting with his first No. 1, âDesesperados,â with Rauw Alejandro, in 2022. âMe Porto Bonito,â with Bad Bunny, followed for one week in command in Aug. 2022, while âPodemos Repetirlo,â with Don Omar, crowned the Sept. 16-dated chart. It falls 1-7 on the current tally.
Beyond its top 10 entry on Latin Airplay, âUn Cigarriloâ pushes 8-2 for its new peak on Latin Rhythm Airplay.
Thereâs a new No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart: FamousSally and YBâs âWassup Gwayy,â which debuts atop the Sept. 23-dated survey.
The TikTok Billboard Top 50, which launched a week ago, 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 Sept. 11-17. (Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.)
âWassup Gwayyâ was released in June and has taken off on TikTok thanks in large part to uploads by users referencing the songâs lyrics âIn the cut with my twin, we be vibinâ,â with videos featuring not only actual twins, but friends and even people and their pets dancing along.

One of the most high-profile proponents of the trend? Drake, who was seen dancing to the song with a young fan in early September.
Rappers FamousSally and YB have not yet made a Billboard chart outside the TikTok Billboard Top 50. Still, in the tracking week (Sept. 8-14) for Billboardâs streaming-, airplay- and sales-based song charts dated Sept. 23, âWassup Gwayyâ earned 548,000 official U.S. streams, up 39% from 395,000 Sept. 1-7, according to Luminate.
âWassup Gwayyâ is the TikTok Billboard Top 50âs second No. 1 in the listâs two weeks of existence; the inaugural No. 1, Sexyy Redâs âSkeeYee,â drops to No. 2 on the Sept. 23 tally.
Chrisette Micheleâs âEpiphany (Iâm Leaving)â is another big mover on the latest ranking, leaping from No. 33 to No. 4. âEpiphanyâ is Micheleâs lone Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist to date, having peaked at No. 89 in May 2009. The 14-year-old tune has returned to prominence in 2023 sparked by a dance challenge largely set to the lyric âSo I think Iâm just about over being your girlfriend,â which kicks off the chorus.
âEpiphanyâ isnât the only song from the 2000s/early â10s in the TikTok Billboard Top 50âs top 10. Itâs followed by a trio of tracks in J. Dashâs âWop,â featuring Flo Rida; Cee-Lo Greenâs âIâll Be Around,â featuring Timbaland; and Usherâs âHey Daddy (Daddyâs Home),â featuring Plies, which round out the tier at Nos. 8-10, respectively.
âWop,â released in 2007, has had multiple runs of virality over the years, initially reaching Billboardâs charts in 2011 and peaking on the Hot 100 in 2013 (No. 51), hitting critical mass that year when Miley Cyrus uploaded a video of herself twerking in a unicorn costume to the tune. The song has continued to be popular for choreography routines on TikTok and other platforms and leaps 17-8 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
âIâll Be Around,â which peaked at No. 52 on Billboardâs Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in January 2004, is scoring a viral bump due to dances using the song and surges 42-9 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while âHey Daddy,â a No. 24 Hot 100 hit in May 2010, premieres on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 thanks to uploads largely populated with women using a filter adding facial hair to their faces.
