Billboard has more than 200 different weekly charts in its menu, encompassing numerous genres and formats.
While established artists often compete for a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums ranking, which track the most popular songs and albums of the week, respectively, up-and-coming talents typically start off on genre-specific lists.

Here’s a look at 10 artists who appear on surveys for the first time on the Oct. 7-dated charts.

Petey

The singer-songwriter and social media personality is officially a Billboard-charting artist thanks to his third studio album and major-label debut, USA. The set, released Sept. 22 on Crow Island/Capitol Records, debuts at No. 66 on the Top Current Album Sales chart with 1,000 copies sold in its opening week, according to Luminate. The album also sparks his No. 30 entrance on the Emerging Artists chart.

Petey (full name Peter Martin), who is from Chicago and is now based in Los Angeles, released his first two albums, Lean Into Life and Other Stuff, on the indie label Terrible Records in 2021. He initially broke through on TikTok in 2020, creating absurdist comedy sketches that drove him to viral exposure on the platform, where he now boasts over 1.5 million followers. He signed to Capitol in June, and his Tour of the USA kicks off in November.

Chappell Roan

The pop singer-songwriter scores her first appearance on Billboard’s charts with her debut full-length, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The 14-track set, released Sept. 22 on KRA International/Amusement Records/Island Records, debuts at No. 3 on Heatseekers Albums, No. 26 on Top Current Album Sales and No. 33 on Top Album Sales with 3,000 copies sold in its opening week. She also arrives at No. 8 on Emerging Artists.

Chappell Roan (real name Kayleigh Amstutz; her artist name is a tribute to late grandfather, Dennis Chappell and the song “The Strawberry Roan”), from Willard, Mo., has been releasing music since 2017. She initially signed to Atlantic Records in 2015, and released a five-track EP, School Nights, before she left in 2020. She later teamed up with songwriter-producer Dan Nigro – the chart-topping hitmaker who has collaborated on hits with Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray and Caroline Polachek – for her breakout songs “Pink Pony Club” and “Naked in Manhattan.” “My music [at that time] reflected the feelings of my first time in a gay club, my first time falling in love with a woman, my first time feeling homesick,” she told Billboard in an interview this summer. “I had to go through all those experiences, that pain and suffering, to rebirth myself into where I am now.” Nigro is listed as a songwriter and producer on the LP.

Chappell Roan is currently on the road on her Midwest Princess Tour, which runs through November. Next year, she’ll serve as an opening act on Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour.

Charles Wesley Godwin

The country-folk singer-songwriter arrives on Billboard’s charts with his third studio album, Family Ties. The 19-track set, released Sept. 22 on Big Loud Records, debuts at No. 9 on Heatseekers Albums, No. 25 on Americana/Folk Albums and No. 99 on Top Current Album Sales with 5,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week. Godwin also opens at No. 45 on the Emerging Artists chart.

Godwin, from Morgantown, W. Va., released his first two LPs, Seneca and How the Mighty Fall, independently in 2019 and 2021, respectively. The critical acclaim of those albums helped him ink a deal with Big Loud, the label home of Morgan Wallen, HARDY and Hailey Whitters, in May. Earlier this year, Godwin opened for Zach Bryan on his Burn, Burn, Burn Tour, and the pair even collaborated on the song “Jamie,” released on Bryan’s 2022 EP Summertime Blues.

Godwin, who was named Billboard’s September Country Rookie of the Month, has a string of tour dates lined up through the end of the year, including two shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in December. Next year, he’ll serve as an opening act on Luke Combs’ Growin’ Up and Getting’ Old Tour.

ALEXSUCKS

The Los Angeles-based band debuts on Billboard’s charts with its breakthrough single “6 Pack and Cigarettes.” The track, released in June on the group’s debut full-length, The Gutter, via Stair Music/Hallwood Media, debuts at No. 39 on Alternative Airplay (up 8% in plays). The set was produced by Brendan O’Brien, who has worked with AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Stone Temple Pilots, among others. ALEXSUCKS comprises Alex Alvarez (lead vocals), Ethan Demoulin (drums), John Luther (guitar) and Garrett Orseno (bass).

MaRynn Taylor

The country singer-songwriter reaches Billboard’s charts with her breakthrough single “Make You Mine.” Released in March on Black River Entertainment, it debuts at No. 58 on Country Airplay (up 86% in audience). The song was co-written by Josh Kerr and Dan Wilson.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Taylor explained that the song is about encouraging a man to commit to a relationship without her coming off as controlling. “That’s just the kind of person I am; I’m going to give my all to whoever I love,” she said. “Sometimes guys are the ones probably being cautious or, you know, afraid of commitment. In ‘Make You Mine,’ she’s into him. I think she’s flirting with him in a way. I feel like ‘make me want to make you mine’ is a strong statement.”

The Michigan native released her debut five-track EP Something I Would Do in 2022. In January, she sang the National Anthem at the NFL’s AFC divisional playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. In June, she made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry.

Snow Wife

The Houston native (real name Emily Snow), who is based in Los Angeles, notches her first Billboard chart appearance with her debut studio album, Queen Degenerate. Released Sept. 22 on SNOWGLOBE, the seven-track set debuts at No. 25 on Heatseekers Albums with 3,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week. It was preceded by its breakout track “American Horror Show,” released June 23. The song has tallied 4.9 million official U.S. streams to date. It has also taken off on TikTok, where she boasts over 400,000 followers, while the song has been used in 80,000 clips on the platform. (Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard’s charts except for the newly launched TikTok Billboard Top 50.)

TeeJay

The Jamaican dancehall artist (real name Timoy Jones) achieves his first Billboard chart entry with “Drift.” The song, released in June via TeeJay/Warner Records, debuts at No. 47 on R&B/Hip-Hip Airplay (up 26% to 1.5 million in reach). In September, Teejay performed the song at WQHT (Hot 97) New York’s sold-out 50 Years of Hip-Hop show at Madison Square Garden. Wu-Tang Clan, Mary J. Blige, Sean Paul and Tyrese also performed, while Mariah Carey and Maxwell hosted.

Ayox

The Nigerian artist notches his first Billboard chart entry with his track “Walking Dead,” with Zlatan. The song, released Sept. 18 on The LV/GProduction, debuts at No. 50 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. The recording is a tribute to late Nigerian musician MohBad, who died Sept. 12 at age 27 while being treated for an infection. The controversy surrounding his death has resulted in a #Justice4Mohbad social media campaign, and many other tributes to the singer. Ayox has released nearly a dozen other songs, all since 2019.

Iñigo Quintero

The Spanish singer-songwriter arrives on Billboard’s charts with his breakthrough viral hit “Si No Estás.” Released in September 2022 on Acquistic, it debuts at No. 129 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 11.3 million official streams outside the U.S. Sept. 22-28. TikTok has been a significant factor in the song’s growing popularity, as a portion of it has been used in over 550,000 clips. It has also soundtracked over 25,000 clips on Instagram Reels. Quintero has released three additional songs: “Sobredosis” (in February), “Será Por Ti” with Hey Kid (May) and “Sin Tiempo Para Bailar” with Javi Chapela (June).

Xxanteria

The artist, whose name is a play on Sublime’s ‘90s hit “Santeria,” lands on Billboard’s charts for the first time with “BAIXO.” The song, released Sept. 19 on 25/7 Records, debuts at No. 42 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with 765,000 official U.S. streams. TikTok has been key to the song’s growth, as a piece of it has soundtracked over 70,000 clips on the platform. A portion of the slowed-down version has also been used in over 30,000 videos.

Karol G secures her 16th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Mi Ex Tenía Razón” rises 3-1 in its seventh chart week to lead the Oct. 7-dated ranking.

“Mi Ex Tenía Razón” was released Aug. 11 as part of Karol’s Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) which took her to No. 1 on Top Latin Albums (Aug. 26-dated list). The track arrives at the summit on the overall Latin Airplay after it earned 9.8 million audience impressions in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 28, according to Luminate, a 16% gain from the week prior. Plus, it ejects Chencho Corleone’s “Un Cigarrillo” from the lead and sends it to No. 9, after one week in charge (6.41million in audience, down 28%)

With the new leader, Karol becomes the first woman to achieve a No. 1 as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act, in 2023. The last woman to do so was Rosalía, who accomplished the feat through “Despechá” in Oct. 2022.

In total, among Karol G’s 16 No. 1s, she’s led the Latin Airplay chart five times, unaccompanied by another act. Her first leader overall was “Mi Cama,” with J Balvin, featuring Nicky Jam, in 2018.

Prior to “Razón,” “Provenza” became Karol’s last totally solo ruler, for one week in charge in July 2022. In between, “TQG,” a collaboration with Shakira, spent two weeks at No. 1.

“Razón’s” new peak on Latin Airplay, arrives after its one-week coronation on Hot Latin Songs (Aug. 26-dated list), where it dips 5-6 on the current chart with a 7% decrease in streams, to 7.56 million, and an 18% fall in sales during the same period.

Beyond its Latin Airplay coronation, “Razón” also pushes up Regional Mexican Airplay, climbing 39-23. The song earned Karol a first entry there when it debuted at No. 39 (Sept. 30-dated list).

The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week (for the upcoming charts dated Oct. 14), Jung Kook looks to follow his Billboard Hot 100-topping “Seven” with a potential second straight No. 1 debut, while the currently reigning Doja Cat and other artists stand in his way. 

Jung Kook feat. Jack Harlow, “3D” (Big Hit/Geffen/Interscope): “Seven,” Jung Kook’s Latto-featuring (and R-rated) pop blast, debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 back in July, and has since grown into one of the biggest worldwide hits of 2023. It topped the Billboard Global 200 for seven weeks and is still hanging around the Hot 100, ranking at No. 53 this week in its 11th frame on the listing (dated Oct. 7). Now, the solo star is in contention for a second straight debut atop the chart, with new song “3D.” 

Sales will be key for the single — which features American rap star Jack Harlow, and is co-produced by longtime hitmaker BloodPop and “Dynamite” producer David Stewart. The song was released Friday, Sept. 29 and then augmented Monday, Oct. 2, as part of the seven-track 3D: The Remixes set — which also includes an instrumental version, an alternate version, a clean edit, a remix from avant-pop maestro A.G. Cook, and both sped-up and slowed-down versions. All seven tracks are currently in the top eight of the iTunes real-time chart, with the main version of “3D” still reigning five days after its release.  

The question is if it will stream as well as “Seven,” which not only racked up over 150,000 in song sales in its first week, according to Luminate, but also a very impressive 21.9 million streams, including a No. 1 debut on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart. The streaming numbers for “3D” on Spotify and elsewhere have been stable, but not as resounding so far – meaning the song might ultimately need its strong sales to continue throughout the remainder of the week for the song to have a real chance of nabbing the No. 1 spot on next week’s Hot 100.  

Doja Cat, “Paint the Town Red” (Kemosabe/RCA): Doja Cat’s Scarlet biggest single returns to the Hot 100’s top spot for a second frame this week, following the release of the full album. Its streams will likely recede in the album’s second week, but airplay numbers continue to grow for the Dionne Warwick-sampling pop-rap song, which climbs 9-7 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart this week, a new peak. If the gains in airplay continue to offset any losses in streaming – which have been relatively minimal to begin with, considering the song still leads on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA and is No. 4 on Apple Music’s real-time chart – it should have a pretty good shot to hang on for a third week at No. 1. 

SZA, “Snooze” (Top Dawg Entertainment/RCA): The little SZA single that could keeps scaling the Hot 100, hitting yet another new peak this week in its 42nd frame on the listing. She’s finally running out of space on the chart, though – at No. 2, there’s only one spot left to climb to. It could be tough for her to get there next week: The song still trails “Paint” in streams and sales, while the gap between the two is closing on radio (though “Snooze” is No. 3 on Radio Songs and still gaining) – and as she’s already released both the music video and the Justin Bieber-featuring acoustic remix of the song, SZA may be running out of ammo to shoot the track over the top. Still, few would have bet on the song getting this far, so it’d be a little foolish to doubt its ability to grab that final rung.  

IN THE MIX 

Tate McRae, “Greedy” (RCA): McRae’s latest isn’t likely to majorly contend for the Hot 100’s apex this week – but if it keeps growing at the rate it has been, that may not be too far off. The song rises 33-24 in its second week on the Hot 100, and continues to grow from its fast start on streaming, while radio is starting to take notice. It’s also already No. 4 on the Global 200 in its second week. At a time when the kind of classic triple-threat mold of stardom has been a little absent from top 40’s center – and given Ariana Grande in particular has been mostly out of the mix for a decently long period – there’s certainly room for McRae, her catchy new song and captivating new video to finally elbow their way into pop’s inner circle.  

*NSYNC, “Better Place” (DreamWorks/RCA): The first new single in 20 years from one of the most successful pop groups of all-time – must be set for a pretty thunderous chart debut, right? Well… maybe. “Better Place” sold respectably enough in its early release this week to possibly make some kind of Hot 100 impact. But the new song, found on the upcoming Trolls Band Together soundtrack, bowed in the midst of a messy promotional situation (due to the recently ended writers’ strike and still-ongoing actors’ strike), to something of a mixed reception from pop fans – resulting in the early streaming numbers for “Place” being less than exceptional. In other words, Jung Kook’s old group is probably safe for another week in its standing as the most recent male vocal group to capture the chart’s top spot.  

Zach Bryan triples up in the top three spots of Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart dated Oct. 7, becoming only the second act ever to earn the honor.

The singer-songwriter’s self-titled LP leads for a fifth week, encompassing its entire run on the survey so far, with 66,000 equivalent album units earned Sept. 22-28, according to Luminate. His new EP, Boys of Faith, launches at No. 2 with 44,000 units and former leader American Heartbreak dips to No. 3 from No. 2 with 31,000 units.

Bryan joins only Chris Stapleton in having monopolized the chart’s top three. Stapleton did so for 11 weeks in 2017-18.

Bryan now boasts seven career Americana/Folk Albums top 10s, all tallied in just over a year and a half. In chronological order of their peaks: DeAnn (No. 6, February 2022); American Heartbreak (No. 1, 61 weeks, beginning in June 2022); Summertime Blues (No. 2, July 2022); Elisabeth (No. 6, November 2022); All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live From Red Rocks) (No. 3, January 2023); Zach Bryan (No. 1, five weeks to date, beginning in September 2023); and Boys of Faith (No. 2 to date, October 2023).

Bryan ties for the ninth-most top 10s since Americana/Folk Albums began in December 2009. Bob Dylan leads with 30, followed by Neil Young with 25.

Meanwhile, Bryan charts six titles overall on the Oct. 7 Americana/Folk Albums tally, matching his mark for the most by an act in a single week. He first totaled that many on the Sept. 9 and Jan. 14 rankings.

As previously reported, Boys of Faith boys at No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. It’s Bryan’s third top 10, following his self-titled No. 1 and the No. 5-peaking American Heartbreak.

All five Boys of Faith tracks debut on the Billboard Hot 100, led by “Sarah’s Place” featuring Noah Kahan at No. 14. It starts at No. 5 on Streaming Songs with 15.8 million official U.S. streams. It also begins at No. 2 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and No. 5 on Hot Country Songs.

Four weeks earlier, Bryan notched his first Billboard 200 No. 1 with his self-titled set, while the LP’s “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves debuted as his first Hot 100 leader.

Chris Tomlin’s “Holy Forever” hits No. 1 on Billboard’s streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Christian Songs chart dated Oct. 7. With its 59-week trip to the penthouse, it completes the longest trek to the top in the chart’s 20-year history, surpassing Elevation Worship’s “Graves Into Gardens” featuring Brandon Lake (46 weeks, 2020-21).
Tomlin scores his seventh No. 1 on the chart and his first since “Good Good Father,” which dominated for seven weeks beginning in February 2016.

The singer-songwriter tells Billboard of his latest coronation, “Ultimately, what this chart represents is impact, and to be a part of a song like ‘Holy Forever’ and experiencing its impact is an honor. My hope is that this song continues to help people around the globe beyond anything I could imagine, see or ever know.”

“Holy Forever,” which Tomlin co-authored with Jason Ingram, Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson and Phil Wickham, ruled Christian Airplay for six weeks beginning in August, awarding Tomlin his 11th No. 1. It ranks at No. 6 on the latest list with 5 million audience impressions Sept. 22-28, according to Luminate. It also drew 2 million official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads.

David & Blessett Bring Back a Classic

Atlanta-based Anthony David and Algebra Blessett’s “Heaven” soars from No. 5 to No. 1 on Gospel Airplay, up 15% in plays. The singers’ first collaboration in over a decade marks their first entry on the chart. Billed as Anthony David featuring Algebra, they reached No. 2 on Adult R&B Airplay in 2011 with “4Evermore.”

“Heaven” was originally recorded by gospel greats BeBe & CeCe Winans and released as the title track on their 1989 set that led Top Gospel Albums, becoming the duo’s first of three chart-toppers.

BeBe Winans co-wrote the song with Keith Thomas.

“We’re definitely happy to be embraced by the gospel community,” David and Blessett shared in a statement to Billboard. “Our whole mission in music is to be inspirational and add to the culture.”

David and Blessett are currently working on an album of duets.

The Rose re-enters Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart (dated Oct. 7) at No. 1, becoming the top up-and-coming act in the U.S. for the first time, thanks to the band’s new sophomore set, Dual. The coronation also marks the band’s first No. 1 rank on any Billboard chart.

Dual, released Sept. 22 on Windfall/Transparent Arts, debuts at No. 9 on Top Alternative Albums, No. 13 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums and No. 83 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart with 12,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week, according to Luminate. With nearly 11,000 of that sum from album sales, the LP also debuts at No. 5 on the Top Album Sales chart.

The Rose is a pop-rock quartet from Seoul, South Korea, comprised of members Woosung (lead vocalist, guitar), Dojoon (keyboards, guitars, vocals), Jaehyeong (bass) and Hajoon (drums).

The group scored its first overall chart appearance in August 2017, when its track “Sorry” debuted and peaked at No. 14 on World Digital Song Sales. The group has charted four additional songs on that ranking since then: “Baby” (No. 14 peak in 2018), “She’s in the Rain” (No. 13, 2018), “Red” (No. 7, 2019) and “Beauty and the Beast” (No. 15, 2022).

The band has also charted two EPs on World Albums: Void reached No. 8 and Dawn: Mini hit No. 5, both in 2018.

In 2022, the group’s debut full-length, Heal, reached No. 4 on Heatseekers Albums and No. 19 on Top Album Sales.

The Emerging Artists chart ranks the most popular developing artists of the week, using the same formula as the all-encompassing Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across multiple Billboard charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200. (The Artist 100 lists the most popular acts, overall, each week.) However, the Emerging Artists chart excludes acts that have notched a top 25 entry on either the Hot 100 or Billboard 200, as well as artists that have achieved two or more top 10s on Billboard’s “Hot” song genre charts and/or consumption-based “Top” album genre rankings.

Kylie Minogue collects her second No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart as her new studio release Tension opens atop the tally (dated Oct. 7). She previously led the 22-year-old list with 2020’s Disco.

The new album’s chart-topping debut comes after its lead single, “Padam Padam,” became a viral hit over the summer, and went on to become her first top 10 hit on the 10-year-old Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in June.

Tension, released Sept. 22 via Darenote/BMG, earned 24,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 28, according to Luminate. That marks Minogue’s best week, by units, since the industry began measuring by that metric in December 2014. On the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, Tension debuts at No. 21, her highest-charting album in over a decade, since Aphrodite hit No. 19 (July 24, 2010-dated chart).

Further, of Tension’s first-week units, album sales comprise 19,500 – the pop star’s biggest sales week for an album in nearly 20 years. She last sold more in a single week with an album when Body Language debuted with 43,500 (Feb. 28, 2004-dated chart). Of Tension’s 19,500 sold, physical sales comprise nearly 14,000 (7,000 on vinyl – her biggest week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991; 6,000 on CD and 1,000 on cassette) and digital album sales comprise about 5,500.

Tension was issued as a standard 11-song album, a 14-track deluxe edition (on CD, digital download and streamers) and in a 16-song edition (sold as a digital download exclusively through Minogue’s webstore). Sales of the album were bolstered by more than 15 physical formats, including seven vinyl variants (all with the same standard 11-song tracklist, with many in different colors with alternative covers – including some retailer-exclusive offerings), five cassettes (four with the album’s standard tracklist, and one with the 14-song tracklist – all in different colors) and five CDs (including a signed edition sold through Newbury Comics, and versions in alternative collectible packaging).

Tension was ushered in by the No. 7-peaking “Padam Padam” on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs in June. (The chart ranks the week’s most popular songs of the genre in the U.S., by blending streams, sales and airplay.) The track also became her first entry on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart (peaking at No. 14) and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart and two weeks atop the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.

The viral hit went on to earn 34.19 million on-demand official audio and video streams in the U.S. – making it Minogue’s third-biggest streaming song ever in America. “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” released in 2001, is her most-streamed hit in the U.S. (176.66 million) and her seasonal cover of “Santa Baby,” released in 2000, is in second place (44.62 million). (Minogue made her Billboard chart debut in May of 1988, bowing on the Billboard Hot 100 with “I Should Be So Lucky.”)

Following “Padam,” the new album has spun off a second dance hit with the title track, which hit No. 18 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs in September, No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales and debuts at No. 7 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay on the Oct. 7-dated chart. Plus, concurrent with the album’s debut on the charts, the set’s “Hold On to Now” bows at No. 32 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and No. 10 on Dance/Electronic Song Sales.

Outside of the dance world, “Padam Padam” gave Minogue her first entry on the Pop Airplay chart since 2004’s “Slow,” and her first hit on the Adult Pop Airplay chart since 2002’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.”

The Billboard 200 and Top Dance/Electronic Albums charts rank, respectively, the week’s most popular overall albums, and dance/electronic albums, 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. Top Album Sales ranks the week’s top-selling albums by traditional album sales (CD, vinyl, cassette, digital download album, etc.).

Mitski already has a number of Billboard chart accolades, but she’s now officially a Billboard Hot 100-charting artist, as “My Love Mine All Mine” debuts on the latest ranking (dated Oct. 7) at No. 76, becoming her first career entry on the survey.

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).

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).
