“Under You” climbs from No. 2 to crown Rock & Alternative Airplay following a 13% jump to 7.5 million in audience in the week ending Sept. 21, according to Luminate. With the rise, it ends the 20-week reign of Linkin Park’s “Lost,” which tied the Foo Fighters’ own 2011 hit “Rope” for the second-longest reign in the chart’s history. The pair trails only Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive,” which dominated for 24 weeks in 2013, as the title with the most weeks at No. 1 since the list began in 2009.
As “Under You” hits the top, it extends the Foos’ record for the most No. 1s by any artist on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, which reflects reach on all rock formats. Here’s a look at the current standings:

On Alternative Airplay, “Under You” likewise advances from the runner-up rank to lead the list. The coronation comes after a 6% increase in weekly plays that made the single the most-played song on U.S. monitored alternative rock radio stations in the week ending Sept. 21. The new champ secures Foo Fighters their 12th No. 1 on Alternative Airplay, lifting the band into a three-way tie with Green Day and Linkin Park for second place on the overall count. Red Hot Chili Peppers, with 15 leaders, claim top honors.
(Earlier this month, Foo Fighters were revealed as the No. 1 act upon the Alternative Airplay chart’s 35th anniversary.)
Plus, “Under You” jumps 4-1 to capture the top slot on Mainstream Rock Airplay thanks to a 13% surge in weekly plays that translates to the song’s status as the most-played track on U.S. monitored mainstream rock radio stations for the week. The new No. 1 pushes Foo Fighters to their 13th chart-topper on the radio ranking, matching them with Van Halen for a joint share of the fourth-most among all acts since the list launched in 1981. Shinedown heads the leaderboard with 18 No. 1s, with Three Days Grace (17) next up and Five Finger Death Punch (14) third.
“Under You” appears on Foo Fighters’ latest LP, But Here We Are, released in June. The set (the band’s first studio effort since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022) topped the Alternative Albums chart for one week, peaked at No. 2 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums and became the band’s 10th top 10 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
Four weeks ago, Paul Russell arrived on Billboard‘s charts for the first time, and now he achieves another distinction as he scores his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Sept. 30).

Russell’s breakthrough viral hit “Lil Boo Thang,” released Aug. 18 via Arista Records, debuts at No. 99 with 9.6 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 46%), 4 million U.S. streams (up 11%) and 4,000 downloads sold in the Sept. 15-21 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The feel-good song also rises 30-27 on Pop Airplay, 32-28 on Adult Pop Airplay and 33-28 on Rhythmic Airplay.
Likely sparking further gains, the track’s official music video premiered Friday (Sept. 22).

“Lil Boo Thang” interpolates the Emotions’ classic hit “Best of My Love,” which was written by Maurice White and Al McKay of Earth, Wind & Fire. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1977 and finished as Billboard’s No. 3 year-end Hot 100 song that year. White and McKay are both credited as writers on Russell’s song.
Russell, from Texas and now based in Los Angeles, first teased a snippet of “Lil Boo Thang” in a June 28 TikTok that has since garnered more than 10 million views and launched over 190,000 creations from fans who’ve paired it with other clips. He later repurposed the post on Instagram Reels, where it has generated another 10 million views and launched over a million creations. That virality helped Russell land a deal with Arista. (Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard‘s charts except for the newly launched TikTok & Billboard Top 50.)
“First and foremost, ‘Lil Boo Thang’ is meant to be a good time,” Russell told Billboard ahead of the full track’s release. “When I wrote it, I was stressed out on a Thursday afternoon, so I just turned on some of the music that makes me happy and imagined that I was celebrating something. I think what makes the song special is the fact that so many of us are ready to just forget about whatever is happening around us and enjoy the good things in life — not just thinking back to good times in the past but creating new ones in the present day.”
Outside of “Lil Boo Thang,” Russell has released two LPs: Via Text with Ruslan in 2018, and Once in a Dry Season in 2019.

Kylie Minogue won’t be beaten in the race to No. 1 in the U.K.
Australia’s “princess of pop” races to the lead on the midweek chart with Tension (via BMG), her 16th studio album, which is currently outselling the rest of the top 20 combined, the Official Charts Company reports.
When the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday, Sept. 29, Kylie should have her ninth U.K. No. 1, across a career spanning 35 years.

Along the way, Kylie has set several chart records.
Tension is the followup to 2020’s Disco, which debuted at No. 1, making Minogue the first female artist to score a leader on the U.K. albums chart in five consecutive decades, doing so in the 1980s, ‘90s, ‘00s, 2010s and ‘20s.
The first track from her latest album, “Padam Padam,” recently peaked at No. 8 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, completing a run of top 10 hits that spans five decades –1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and ‘20s.
The only other female solo artists to land top 10 hits in five consecutive decades are Cher, Diana Ross and Lulu, who each achieved the feat in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore LP Guts (Geffen) will drop to No. 2 following two weeks at the U.K. summit, while Doja Cat’s fourth and latest studio album Scarlet (Ministry of Sound) is set to arrive at No. 3.
Rounding out the top five on the chart blast are Headie One and K-Trap’s new collaborative mixtape Strength To Strength (One Thousand8), at No. 4; and Scottish alternative rock veterans Teenage Fanclub with Nothing Lasts Forever (Pema), new at No. 5. If Teenage Fanclub’s new record holds its spot, it’ll give the band their highest-charting album in 26 years, since 1997’s Songs from Northern Britain reached No. 3. Nothing Lasts Forever should become Teenage Fanclub’s 10th U.K. top 40 album.
Finally, North London experimental artist Baker (real name: Abubakar Baker Shariff-Farr) is cooking up a first-ever top 10 with Halo (Black Butter), predicted to bow at No. 8. Baker’s previous best was No. 31 for 2022’s Nobody’s Home.
Doja Cat is still top cat on the U.K. singles chart, but she’s facing stiff competition.
The U.S. singer, rapper and producer’s hit “Paint the Town Red” (via Ministry of Sound) leads the midweek chart, and is on track for a fourth consecutive week at No. 1.

Based on sales and streaming data published by the Official Charts Company, Kenya Grace’s “Stranger” (FFRR) is close behind, lifting 3-2, ahead of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen), down 2-3.
Born in South Africa, based in Britain, Grace’s breakthrough drum ‘n’ bass leaning number is her first through a major label. And she’s posing a real challenge to the leadership, blasting 20-2 in less than a month.
Further down the chart blast, another track from Doja Cat’s fourth and latest album, Scarlet, is set to enter the top 40; “Agora Hills” is forecast to arrive at No. 35.
English singer and songwriter Tom Odell could have the week’s highest new entry with “Black Friday” (Urok). It’s new at No. 17 on the Official Chart Update, for what should be his fourth U.K. top 40 (Odell has a U.K. No. 1 album to his name, with his 2013 debut Long Way Down).
U.S. pop-punk heroes Blink-182 are back, and they’re heading for a highest-charting single in two decades. The title track from the trio’s forthcoming ninth studio album is set to start at No. 21 on the chart, based on midweek data. ONE MORE TIME (via Columbia) is due out on Oct. 20 via Columbia Records, and sees the classic lineup reunite with singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge for the first time since 2011.
“One More Time” should be the trio’s 12th U.K. top 40 single, and best performer since “I Miss You” hit No. 8 back in 2004.
Also, new singles from Nines (“Daily Duppy” featuring GRM Daily at No. 25 via Zino) and a hip-hop team-up of Headie One, K-Trap and Clavish (“Triple Threat” at No. 31 via One Thousand8) are eyeing top frame berths.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published late Friday, Sept. 29.
Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” adds a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and ascends to its first frame atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey (dated Sept. 30). Notably, the song is the first rap hit to lead the latter list over the ranking’s four-year history.
Elsewhere, Drake’s “Slime You Out,” featuring SZA, debuts at No. 3 on the Global 200 and SZA’s “Snooze” soars 42-6 following the arrival of its remix with Justin Bieber. Plus, three songs are new to the Global Excl. U.S. top 10: Kenya Grace’s “Strangers” (21-4); Tate McRae’s “Greedy” (a debut at No. 9); and cassö, RAYE and D-Block Europe’s “Prada” (16-10).
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate.

Following the Sept. 15 release of its remix featuring Justin Bieber, it boasts gains of 60% to 41.7 million streams and 99% to 3,000 sold worldwide. Thanks to “Slime You Out” and “Snooze,” SZA ups her count to five top 10s on the survey. (All versions of “Snooze” roll up into one chart listing; Bieber is not listed on the song on the Global 200, as the remix did not account for the majority of the single’s overall consumption during the tracking week.)
‘Red’ Reign on Global Excl. U.S.
Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” rises 2-1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, marking her first leader on the ranking, with 64.8 million streams (up 3%) and 4,000 sold (up 8%) outside the U.S. Sept. 15-21. Notably, the song is the first rap hit (as defined by songs that have hit Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart) to top Global Excl. U.S. over the ranking’s four-year history.
Jung Kook’s “Seven,” featuring Latto, drops to No. 2 after spending its first nine weeks on the Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 1, and Myke Towers’ “LaLa” rebounds 4-3, after it dominated for a week in July.

Kenya Grace’s “Strangers” vaults 21-4 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 28.9 million streams (up 50%) and 1,000 sold (up 42%). TikTok has been a big factor in the growing profile of the South African-born, British-raised singer-songwriter’s breakthrough song, as a portion of its audio has been used in over 500,000 clips on the platform; she also has over half a million TikTok followers. Two weeks earlier, Grace became a first-timer on Billboard’s charts.
Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” climbs 6-5 on Global Excl. U.S., after hitting No. 4.

Notably, she appears in the video for Olivia Rodrigo’s “Bad Idea Right?” (which hit No. 9 on the ranking a week earlier).

Drake ties BTS for most No. 1s in the ‘20s: Drake ups his count to six Hot 100 No. 1s in the 2020s – tying BTS for the most so far this decade. Ariana Grande and Swift follow with four each in that span.

Here’s a recap of the artists with the most Hot 100 leaders in each decade starting with the 1960s, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958 inception:
‘20s, to date: BTS, Drake, six each
‘10s: Rihanna, nine
‘00s: Usher, seven
‘90s: Mariah Carey, 14
‘80s: Michael Jackson, nine
‘70s: Bee Gees, nine
‘60s: The Beatles, 18
(Frankie Avalon and The Fleetwoods tied for the most Hot 100 No. 1s, two each, in 1958-59.)
‘Slime’ also No. 1 on Streaming Songs, R&B/hip-hop charts: As “Slime You Out” concurrently crowns the Streaming Songs chart, Drake adds his record-extending 18th No. 1. Bieber and Swift rank next with six each. SZA notches her second No. 1, after “Kill Bill” reigned for four weeks.
“Slime You Out” likewise launches atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts, which use the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100. Drake claims his record-padding 29th Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1, further distancing himself from legends Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, each with 20. SZA achieves her third Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1, after “Kill Bill” ruled for a record 21 weeks beginning last December and “I Hate U” led for a week in 2021.
On Hot R&B Songs, which began in 2012, Drake posts his eighth No. 1, and SZA, her fifth.

SZA’s “Snooze” reawakens with an 8-3 leap on the Hot 100, surpassing its prior No. 7 best. Following the Sept. 15 release of its remix featuring Bieber, it’s up 50% to 21.4 million streams and 86% to 3,000 sold; already an established airplay hit, it rises to a new No. 3 high, from No. 5, on Radio Songs (70.1 million, up 4%). SZA now has four career top five Hot 100 hits, among nine top 10s, as “Snooze” and “Slime You Out” join “Kill Bill” and “Kiss Me More,” featuring Doja Cat (No. 3, 2021).
(All versions of “Snooze” roll up into one chart listing; Bieber is not listed on the song on the Hot 100, as the remix did not account for the majority of the single’s overall consumption during the tracking week.)
Notably, the Hot 100’s top three, of “Slime You Out,” “Paint the Town Red” and “Snooze,” mirrors that of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart – for the first time in over two years. The lists last lined up in the region on the charts dated Sept. 18, 2021, when Drake’s LP Certified Lover Boy premiered atop the Billboard 200 and its tracks “Way 2 Sexy,” featuring Future and Young Thug, “Girls Want Girls,” featuring Lil Baby, and “Fair Trade,” featuring Travis Scott, debuted at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Country and pop have dominated the Hot 100’s top 10 in 2023, while “Paint the Town Red” became the chart’s first rap No. 1 in over a year.
(Helping spark the feat, two RCA Records artists rank in the Hot 100’s top three this week, with SZA at Nos. 1 and 3 and Doja Cat at No. 2.)

Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s No. 6-peaking 1988 Hot 100 classic “Fast Car” holds at No. 4 after eight weeks at its No. 2 high. Still, it tops Radio Songs for a fourth week (76.6 million, down 2%) and ascends to No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart, after 19 weeks at No. 2. Combs claims his sixth Hot Country Songs No. 1 with the remake, which previously topped Country Airplay for five weeks and Adult Pop Airplay for two frames and has reached the top 10 on the Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts.
Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, drops 3-5 on the Hot 100, three weeks after it debuted at No. 1. It leads the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a fourth week each.
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Swift’s “Cruel Summer” descends 5-6, after reaching No. 3; Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” falls to No. 7 following its second nonconsecutive week at No. 1; Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” slips 6-8, following 16 weeks at No. 1, the most ever for a non-collaboration; Gunna’s “Fukumean” holds at No. 9, after hitting No. 4; and Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” repeats at No. 10, after reaching No. 6.
