The next-best debut belongs to American rockers Extreme, as Six (Ear/RKT) starts at No. 32.

Country music is booming in Australia this year, led by U.S. starts Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs — who currently occupy two of the top 3 positions. On the latest tally, Wallen’s former leader “Last Night” (Republic/Universal) holds at No. 2, and Combs’ cover of “Fast Car” (Columbia/Sony) rises 5-3, surpassing the No. 4 peak of the original cut by Tracy Chapman back in 1988.

Finally, BTS bags the highest new entry on the latest chart with “Take Two” (BigHit Entertainment/ING) released as part of the celebrations for the superstar K-pop act’s 10th anniversary. The band’s biggest hit here is “Dynamite,” which exploded to No. 2 in 2020.
Latto lands her second top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as “Put It on Da Floor Again,” re-enters the list at No. 6 following its high-profile remix featuring Cardi B.
Thanks to the new version, which arrived on June 2, the track surges as one of the genre’s top three selling and streaming tracks for the week. (Both the original Latto version – “Put It on Da Floor” and the Cardi B-featuring remix, “Put It on Da Floor Again” – of the song are combined into one entry for tracking and charting purposes. As the Cardi B version contributes the majority of activity, its billing and title are listed.)
“Put It On Da Floor Again,” released through StreamCut/RCA Records, captured 17.2 million official U.S. streams in the week ending June 8, according to Luminate, a 342% vault from 3.9 million in the prior week. The eight-figure gain prompts its No. 3 debut on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs. In the sales market, the single sold 13,000 copies, enough to spark a No. 2 entrance on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales. The remix’s arrival also reinvigorates its radio momentum, with a 135% weekly audience improvement to 5.3 million in the week ending June 8.
With the new remix, Latto revives her current single after its previous, pre-remix version peaked at No. 43. Now, it secures her a second career top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Her first, “Big Energy,” reached No. 1 for two weeks in April 2022 and spent 45 weeks on the list, the longest stay for any track by a woman in the 2020s decade.
Cardi B, meanwhile, achieves her 19th Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10 and first since she assisted another female rapper, GloRilla, on her “Tomorrow 2” remix that peaked at No. 3. The superstar rapper took to social media to celebrate the surge in activity and reception for “Put It on Da Floor Again,” sharing a video of which her bottom is seen on full display underneath a minidress, as she spanks herself a few times. “YALL DID THAT !!! Put it on the floor then !!,” she captioned the post.
Elsewhere, “Put It on Da Floor Again” opens at No. 3 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and at No. 13 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Swift first reached the region in 2020 when “Exile,” featuring Bon Iver, peaked at No. 9.

As for The National, “The Alcott” is the band’s sixth top 10 and third in a row, following the No. 6-peaking “Weird Goodbyes,” featuring Bon Iver (November 2022), and five-week ruler “Tropic Morning News” in March-April. The Matt Berninger-led act’s other top 10s are “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness” (No. 1, two weeks, August 2017), “Day I Die” (No. 7, December 2017) and “You Had Your Soul With You” (No. 9, May 2019).

Tracy Chapman rises from No. 3 to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Songwriters chart (dated June 17), leading for the first time, thanks to Luke Combs’ cover of her classic hit “Fast Car.”
Combs’ version of the song, on which Chapman is the sole credited writer, holds at its No. 2 high on the Hot Country Songs chart and jumps 8-4 on the Billboard Hot 100 – out-peaking Chapman’s original recording, which reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1988.

Combs’ “Fast Car” is the third version of Chapman’s breakthrough song to chart on the Hot 100. It follows Chapman’s original and Jonas Blue’s dance cover, featuring Dakota (No. 98 peak, 2016).
Notably, as Chapman crowns Country Songwriters, she earns her first No. 1 placement on a Billboard chart since 2000, when her single “Telling Stories (There Is Fiction in the Space Between)” topped the Adult Alternative Airplay chart for eight weeks.

Chapman’s eponymous debut album marked her first chart appearance when it entered the Billboard 200 chart dated April 30, 1988. “Fast Car” followed on Adult Contemporary and Mainstream Rock Airplay that May, and then the Hot 100 that June. She has won four Grammy Awards, including best female pop vocal performance for “Fast Car” and best rock song for “Give Me One Reason.”
Billboard launched the Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, as well as genre-specific rankings for country, rock & alternative, R&B/hip-hop, R&B, rap, Latin, Christian, gospel and dance/electronic, in June 2019, while alternative and hard rock joined in 2020, along with seasonal holiday rankings in 2022. The charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100. The genre-based songwriter and producer charts follow the same methodology based on corresponding “Hot”-named genre charts. As with Billboard’s yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings).
The full Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts and genre-specific rankings can be found on Billboard.com.
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 titles by acts who appear on surveys for the first time on the June 17-dated charts.
