Teddy Swims (real name Jaden Dimsdale) from Conyers, Ga., first appeared on a Billboard chart in 2021 when his debut EP, Unlearning, debuted and peaked at No. 98 on Top Current Album Sales. Three months later, he appeared on a songs chart for the first time with his track “Simple Things.” It reached No. 14 on Digital Song Sales in September 2021, after he performed it on CBS’ The Late Late Show With James Corden.
His third EP, Tough Love, debuted and peaked at No. 200 on the Billboard 200 in February 2022, marking his first appearance on the chart. He’s released one EP since: Sleep Is Exhausting, in November 2022. His debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy, is due Sept. 15.
Among his other chart appearances, he’s tallied three entries on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: “Loveless,” with TELYKast (No. 44 peak in April 2022), “All That Really Matters” (No. 13, August 2022) and “Easy to Love” (by Armin van Buuren and Matoma featuring Teddy Swims; No. 34, this January).
Teddy Swims is currently performing on a string of shows in Australia. Next month, he’ll hit the road on his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour, which is set to run through November in the U.S. and Canada.
Oliver Anthony Music’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” rockets in atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart dated Aug. 26.
As previously reported, the track debuts at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
Since its official Aug. 11 release, following previews on TikTok, the song has been a lightning rod for media coverage from both left- and right-leaning media outlets and pundits.
The song drew 17.5 million streams and sold 147,000 downloads in the tracking week ending Aug. 17, according to Luminate. Although it’s not being promoted to radio, it also drew 553,000 radio airplay audience impressions, including 516,000 from country stations. (It’s trending toward a debut on the Sept. 2-dated Country Airplay chart, with more than 1 million impressions Aug. 18-21, per preliminary data.)
“Richmond,” which was solo-written by the Farmville, Va.-based singer-songwriter and former factory worker born Christopher Anthony Lunsford (his stage name honors his grandfather Oliver Anthony), first drew buzz online, including on TikTok, where he boasts 1.5 million followers. On Aug. 11, the song was released wide to digital retailers and DSPs and posted to the radiowv YouTube account, which spotlights unsigned Americana and country acts in the Virginia/West Virginia region.

Since Hot Country Songs became the genre’s main Billboard songs chart in October 1958, just 14 songs have debuted at No. 1 — with Anthony the first artist to do so with no prior chart history.
No. 1 Debuts on Hot Country Songs:
“Rich Men North of Richmond,” Oliver Anthony Music, Aug. 26, 2023
“You Proof,” Morgan Wallen, May 28, 2022
“Thought You Should Know,” Morgan Wallen, May 21, 2022
“Don’t Think Jesus,” Morgan Wallen, April 30, 2022

“My Baby’s Got a Smile on Her Face,” Craig Wayne Boyd, Jan. 3, 2015
“More Than a Memory,” Garth Brooks, Sept. 15, 2007
Brooks became the first artist to bound in at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs with “More Than a Memory” in 2007, when the chart was based solely on airplay. Since October 2012, the list has shared the Hot 100’s streaming-, airplay- and sales-based methodology.
The closest any act came to Anthony’s feat of launching at No. 1 with no prior history was Craig Wayne Boyd, thanks to his run as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice. (Plus, while Artists of Then, Now & Forever were introduced with “Forever Country,” the collective comprised over 30 established stars.)
Of the 14 debuts above, Morgan Wallen boasts a record five. Taylor Swift is the only other artist with at least two.
Meanwhile, “Richmond” becomes the first Hot Country Songs leader by an artist with an initial entry on the chart since Niko Moon, whose “Good Time” reigned for a week in March 2021.
“Richmond” is also the first solo-penned No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” in February 2021.
“Richmond” enters Country Digital Song Sales at No. 1 and Country Streaming Songs at No. 2. Anthony sends 13 tracks onto the 25-position Country Digital Song Sales list, tying for the most in a single week; country icon Kenny Rogers first achieved the feat on the April 4, 2020, chart, after he passed away that March 20.
Anthony concurrently debuts two other tracks on Hot Country Songs: “Aint Gotta Dollar” at No. 21, and “Ive Got to Get Sober,” at No. 35. The former, released in September 2022, opens with 3.5 million streams and 17,000 sold Aug. 11-17, while the latter, released this July, enters with 2.3 million streams and 12,000 sold.

Hot Latin Songs ranks the most popular Latin songs of the week, blending airplay, steams, and digital sales.
“Mi Ex Tenía Razón” leads the new haul bursting in at No. 1. The song traces its high start to 15 million official U.S. streams earned in the week ending Aug. 17, according to Luminate. The sum yields a No. 14 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart and an equal No. 1 launch on Latin Streaming Songs. It also sold 2,000 copies, allowing for a No. 1 debut on Latin Digital Song Sales.
“Mi Ex Tenía Razón” makes a mark on radio airplay in line with its big streaming and sales splash. It’s the only new song from Bichota Season to debut on the overall Latin Airplay, at No. 28, with 4 million in audience impressions earned during the same tracking week.
Meanwhile, “Qlona,” Karol G’s first collab with Peso Pluma, takes off at No. 2 with 12 million official U.S. streams and 1,000 downloads sold.
Those two tracks join “S91” in the chart’s top 10. The latter previewed Bichota Season as the first single, debuting at No. 10 in July. On the current ranking, it rises 20-6 with the Greatest Gainer Sales/Streaming honors, fueled by 8.9 million streams, up 73%. It also re-enters at No. 37 on the overall Streaming Songs list, and rallies 25-6 on Latin Streaming Songs.
Three other tracks outside Bichota hold steady on Hot Latin Songs, making a total of 13 simultaneous songs on the current ranking. Here’s the recap:
No. 1 “Mi Ex Tenía Razón” (debut)No. 2 “Qlona,” with Peso Pluma (debut)No. 6, “S91”No. 12, “Una Noche En Medellín (Remix)” with Cris MJ & Ryan Castro (debut)No. 13, “TQG,” with ShakiraNo. 15, “Okidoki” (debut)No. 18, “Amargura”No. 19, “Me Tengo Que Ir,” with Kali Uchis (debut)No. 22, “Dispo,” with Young Miko (debut)No. 26, “Bichotag” (debut)No. 29, “Gatita Gangster,” with Dei V (debut)No. 36, “Provenza (Remix),” with Tiesto (debut)No. 44, “Watati,” featuring Aldo Ranks
Karol G’s new personal records arrive amidst her Mañana Será Bonito tour, in support of the eponymous album which scored her the best performance on the Billboard 200, and the first all-Spanish-language record by a female artist to debut at No. 1.

Just four months after Karol G crowned Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, she is back at No. 1 with her fifth studio album, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), which debuts atop the Aug. 26-dated list. The Colombian captures her third champ following KG0516 (2021) and Mañana Será Bonito (2023); the latter, the 17-track set that gave her a first Billboard 200 hit, ruled the Latin albums ranking for five weeks between March and April 2023.

The five-and-a-half-month gap between the two Mañana albums hitting No. 1 is the shortest span between new No. 1s for a living woman on Top Latin Albums. Jenni Rivera had a quicker succession of No. 1s — between La Misma Gran Señora and Joyas Prestadas: Pop (less than three months apart, between Dec. 19, 2012 and March 16, 2013).
Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) was released in three different formats, a nine-track standard wide digital album, a 10-track digital and streaming album and a 10-track CD and vinyl LP. The three 10-track formats include nine standard songs plus one bonus track.
Bichota Season arrives at the summit with 67,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during the Aug. 11-17 tracking week, according to Luminate. As with all Karol G releases, streaming powers most of the album’s first week, with a total of 49,000 units from the consumption method. That figure equals to 68.26 million on-demand official streams for the album’s 10 songs. Traditional album sales contribute 17,000 units, while track-equivalent album units comprise 1,000 units.
An equivalent album unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album (track equivalent album units, TEA), or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album (streaming equivalent album units, SEA).
With Bichota Season part of Karol G’s collection of hits, here’s the list of all her top 10s on Top Latin Albums, three of which debuted at No. 1:
Debut Position, Album, Debut Date
No. 2, Unstoppable, Nov. 18, 2017
No. 2, Ocean, May 8, 2019
No. 1, KG0516, April 10, 2021
No. 1, Mañana Será Bonito, March 11
No. 1, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), Aug. 26
Further, Bichota Season joins three other sets on Top Latin Albums this week, Mañana Será Bonito at No. 4, KG0516 at No. 18 and Ocean at No. 42.
Elsewhere, Bichota Season bows in the top five on the all-genre Billboard 200, at No. 3, her second top 10 on the tally, after Mañana Será Bonito launched at No. 1 in March. The album also earns Karol G her second top 15 entry on Vinyl Albums, at No. 14, following Mañana Será Bonito’s No. 6 debut and peak in July.
As Bichota Season arrives, nine tracks of the album debut on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart. The album’s new recruits join the set’s first single, “S91,” which rises 20-6 as the Greatest Gainer Sales/Streaming of the week with 8.9 million streams earned during the same period. Plus, it re-enters at No. 37 on the overall Streaming Songs list, and flies 25-6 on Latin Streaming Songs.
With three other tracks outside Bichota holding strong on Hot Latin Songs, Karol G places 13 simultaneous titles on the current tally. Here’s the recap:
No. 1 “Mi Ex Tenía Razón” (debut)
No. 2 “Qlona” with Peso Pluma (debut)
No. 6, “S91”
No. 12, “Una Noche En Medellín (Remix)” with Cris MJ & Ryan Castro (debut)

Oliver Anthony makes a historic first visit to the latest Billboard Hot 100 (dated Aug. 26).
The singer-songwriter, billed as Oliver Anthony Music (his real name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford) scores his first two entries on the chart with “Rich Men North of Richmond,” which launches at No. 1, and “Aint Gotta Dollar” at No. 82.
“Richmond,” which Anthony self-released Aug. 11, soars in with 17.5 million U.S. streams and 147,000 downloads sold in the tracking week ending Aug. 17, according to Luminate. Not being promoted to radio, it also tallied 553,000 radio airplay audience impressions (with 516,000 on country stations). The song concurrently debuts at Nos. 1 and 4 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs charts, as well as No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs survey.

Anthony is just the sixth artist to debut a first solo Hot 100 entry at No. 1, after Zayn (“Pillowtalk” in 2016 – his first solo single after leaving One Direction); Baauer (the viral “Harlem Shake” in 2013), Carrie Underwood (“Inside Your Heaven” in 2005, after she won American Idol), Fantasia (“I Believe” in 2004, also after she won Idol) and Clay Aiken (“This Is the Night” in 2003, following his second-place finish on Idol).
“Dollar,” self-released in September 2022, debuts with 3.5 million U.S. streams (up 1,222%) and 17,000 sold (up 2,300%). It also starts at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales and No. 21 on Hot Country Songs.
Before this week, Oliver Anthony had never appeared on a Billboard chart, making him the first such act to open at No. 1 on the Hot 100. The radiowv YouTube account, which spotlights unsigned Americana and country acts in the Virginia/West Virginia region, posted “Richmond” Aug. 11. The song — with lyrics detailing inflation, taxes, child trafficking and welfare abuse — has drawn both praise from the right and opposition from the left.
The song’s virality has also increased interest in Anthony’s other releases. He debuts 13 tracks on Digital Song Sales chart, led by “Richmond” at No. 1. He’s the only living solo male artist to have charted at least 13 songs in the top 50 of the survey.
On the country-specific Country Digital Song Sales chart, Anthony also charts 13 songs, including six in the top 10. He’s just the fourth artist to log that many titles in the top 10 simultaneously, after Kenny Rogers (seven in April 2020, after his death); Taylor Swift (seven in November 2010 powered by the chart arrival of her LP Speak Now); and Luke Combs (six in November 2020, as his album What You See Is What You Get debuted).
Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 77th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Aug. 26), thanks to the continued success of her latest album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), as well as 10 additional albums on the Billboard 200 and five songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

The set ranks to No. 5 in its sixth week on the Billboard 200 with 61,000 equivalent album units earned Aug. 11-17, according to Luminate, after spending its first two weeks at No. 1. It became Swift’s first re-recorded album, of three that she’s released so far, to notch its first two weeks at the summit.
Also boosting Swift’s Artist 100 standing are 10 additional albums on the Billboard 200. This is the sixth week (all consecutive) that Swift has landed 11 titles on the survey. Five weeks ago, she became just the third act – and first woman – to chart at least 11 in a single week, following The Beatles and Prince.
Here’s a recap of Swift’s current Billboard 200-charting titles.
Rank, Title:
No. 5, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
No. 6, Midnights
No. 7, Lover
No. 9, 1989
No. 11, Folklore
No. 17, Reputation
No. 18, Red (Taylor’s Version)
No. 24, Evermore
No. 26, Fearless (Taylor’s Version)
No. 145, Taylor Swift
No. 191, Speak Now
Swift also boasts four albums in the Billboard 200’s top 10 for a fourth time, after becoming the first living artist to achieve the feat in nearly 60 years last month.

On the Hot 100, Swift charts five songs: “Cruel Summer” (down from its No. 3 high to No. 4), “Karma” featuring Ice Spice (13-14), “Anti-Hero” (18-20), “Blank Space” (49-46, after re-entering last week) and “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” (63-71).
Elsewhere on the Artist 100, Oliver Anthony Music debuts at No. 3, thanks to his viral song “Rich Men North of Richmond.” The track launches at No. 1 on the Hot 100, driven by 17.5 million official streams and sold 147,000 downloads in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 17, according to Luminate, while another track of his, “Aint Got a Dollar,” debuts at No. 82. He’s the first act to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 after never previously appearing on any Billboard ranking in any form.
Rounding out the Artist 100’s top five, Travis Scott holds at No. 2, Morgan Wallen falls 3-4 and Luke Combs drops 4-5.
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
It’s tight at the top of the midweek U.K. chart, as singles by Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo joust for the crown.
As it stands, Lipa’s Barbie cut “Dance The Night” (via Warner Records) leads Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” (Interscope) and Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (Geffen), respectively.
According to the Official Charts Company, less than 1,000 chart units currently separate the top three.

Lupa will hope for a different result from last week, when “Dance The Night” led on the chart blast, only to be pipped by Eilish in the finals days of the chart week.
If it holds its spot, “Dance The Night” would give Lipa a fourth U.K. chart topper, and her first as a solo artist since “New Rules” back in 2017.
If “Vampire” takes flight and snatches the crown, it would give Rodrigo a third leader after “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U,” both from 2021.
“What Was I Made For?” last Friday (Aug. 18) became Elish’s second U.K. No. 1 single, following her Academy Award-winning James Bond single, “No Time To Die.” And it led an historic tally, on which the top six singles were all recorded by solo female artists.
The Official Chart Update is Girl Powered once again, as female solo artists rule positions 1-6, including Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” (holding at No. 4 via EMI), Peggy Gou’s “(It Goes Like) Nanana” (up 6-5 via XL Recordings) and Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (Ministry of Sound) set to rise 19-6, for a new high.
Also, Becky Hill’s “Disconnect” (Polydor) with Chase & Status is on the brink of a new peak, up 9-7 on the chart blast, while Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice and Aqua’s “Barbie World” (Atlantic/Capitol/Republic) dips 7-9, bringing to eight the total of female-led singles in the midweek top 10.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published Friday, Aug. 25.
Hozier is headed for his first U.K. chart crown as Unreal Unearth (via Island) establishes a solid lead.
The third album from the Irish singer and songwriter, Unreal Unearth starts at No. 1 on the Official Chart Update, and is set to eclipse his 2014 self-titled debut, which peaked at No. 3 and featured his trans-Atlantic hit single “Take Me to Church.” Hozier’s followup, 2019’s Wasteland, Baby, peaked at No 6.
Based on midweek sales and streaming data published by the Official Charts Company, Scottish indie-rockers the View is set for a No. 2 start with Exorcism Of Youth (Cooking Vinyl), their sixth album. Exorcism should give the band their fourth U.K. top 10 album, and highest peak since their 2007 debut, Hats Off to the Buskers, led the chart. Hats Off to the Buskers contained the band’s first and only top 10 single, “Same Jeans,” which reached No. 3 in the year of release.

British pop singer and songwriter Birdy could snag a career best on the Official Albums Chart with Portraits (Warner Music U.K.), her fifth album. It’s new at No. 3 on the chart blast. Completing an all-new top four on the midweek tally is U.S. artist Renee Rapp, who is set to open her U.K. chart account with Snow Angel (Interscope), her debut LP. It’s new at No. 4 on the chart blast.
Further down the list, post punk favorites Talking Heads is eyeing a new peak for Stop Making Sense (Parlophone), their live album which returns with an expanded edition to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The set could reeenter at No. 13, bettering its previous peak of No. 24 back in 2000.
As previously reported, Talking Heads members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison will appear together publicly next month for the first time since their 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction at an upcoming 40th anniversary celebration of the live concert film, from which the album is cut.
Finally, English boyband Here At Last’s EP 1 (Halo Army) is set to make a top 40 splash, new at No. 22, while BTS member J-Hope could snag his own top 40 with Jack In The Box (Polydor), following the release of an expanded physical version. It’s set to reenter at No. 28 on the midweek survey.

Among all acts, five previously reached that mark in a single week, led by Prince with 21 on the May 14, 2016, list, following his passing that April 21.
