Sam Smith is on top in the land Down Under, as Gloria (via Capitol/Universal) bows at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart.
Gloria is Smith’s fourth consecutive top 10 album in Australia, and second No. 1 after In The Lonely Hour hit the summit in 2014.
The latest LP enjoyed a lift from Smith’s recent visit to Australia, a brief summer break during which the British singer performed for competition winners and VIPs at the d’Arenberg vineyards at McLaren Vale, outside of Adelaide.
It’s not Smith’s first time atop the leaderboard in Australia this year. “Unholy” featuring Kim Petras, the hit song from Gloria, returned to No. 1 last month on the ARIA Singles Chart for a sixth non-consecutive week.

Smith will return to Australia in October and November 2023 for a run of arena dates, produced by Frontier Touring.
Gloria is one of just three new arrivals on the latest ARIA top 40, published Feb. 3.
Further down the list, Bob Dylan’s Fragments—Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) The Bootleg Series, Vol. 17 (via Columbia/Legacy) bows at No. 26. The legendary songsmith’s album isn’t quite a new entry, but rather the latest in a series that revisits his Grammy Award-winning 1997 album Time Out of Mind, with a remix of the original set and bonus outtakes, alternate versions and live cuts.
Meanwhile, Lil Yachty sails in at No. 37 on the ARIA Chart with Let’s Start Here (Capitol/Universal), the Atlanta rapper’s fifth album, and a sonic pivot to psychedelic space rock.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (Columbia/Sony) continues to bloom, for a third consecutive week at No. 1.
Australia-bred singer and songwriter The Kid LAROI returns to the national tally, this time with “Love Again” (Columbia/Sony), new at No. 14. It’s the second taste off the Kid’s forthcoming debut album, The First Time, set for release later this year.
After catching fire on TikTok, Coi Leray’s “Players” (Universal) completes the crossover with a top 40 chart appearance in Australia. The Grandmaster Flash-sampling single, a modern-day spin on the 1982 seminal hit “The Message,” arrives at No. 31.
Finally, a raft of tracks enjoy a lift on the national chart following last Saturday’s (Jan. 28) Hottest 100 countdown on triple j. The winner of the poll, Flume and MAY-A’s “Say Nothing” (Future Classic) returns at No. 4, easily eclipsing its peak of No. 16 from February 2022, while tracks from Spacey Jane, Eliza Rose, Steve Lacy and others enjoy a post-Hottest 100 bump.
HARDY nabs his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Feb. 4), as his latest effort The Mockingbird & The Crow flies in atop the tally. The set, a half-rock and half-country project, bows with 20,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 26, according to Luminate. HARDY previously notched one entry on the list, with the No. 8-peaking A Rock in 2020.

Also in the top 10, Maneskin’s new studio effort Rush! debuts at No. 3; Wilco’s 2022 album Cruel Country re-enters at No. 4 – hitting the top 10 for the first time – after its wide release on CD and vinyl; the soundtrack to Halloween Ends scares up a No. 7 entry following its vinyl release; and Trippie Redd’s new Mansion Musik opens at No. 9.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s 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.
Of The Mockingbird & The Crow’s 20,000 sold, physical sales comprise 5,000 (4,000 CDs and 1,000 vinyl LPs) and digital album sales comprise 15,000. The album’s start also marks HARDY’s best sales week, surpassing the 5,000 sold in the debut frame of A Rock in 2020 (Sept. 19, 2020-dated chart).
As The Mockingbird & The Crow launches at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, it halts the chart-topping run of Taylor Swift’s Midnights, which spend its first 13 chart weeks at No. 1. On the new chart, it falls to No. 2 with 17,000 sold (down 21%). The set continues to be a hot-seller on vinyl, with 9,000 of its sales for the week on vinyl. In the latest tracking week, Midnights’ total U.S. vinyl sales crept past 1 million copies. Swift’s popularity on vinyl is well noted, and in 2022, one out of every 25 vinyl albums sold in the U.S. were by Swift.
Rock band Maneskin sees its new album Rush! bow at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 11,000 copies sold. It’s the first charting entry for the act and its best sales week.
Wilco’s Cruel Country, which was released last May via digital retailers and streaming services, re-enters the chart at a new high of No. 4 after its release on CD and vinyl (7,000 sold across all formats; up from a negligible sales total the previous week). Cruel Country had previously topped out at No. 31 on July 2, 2022-dated list, following its limited CD release timed to Record Store Day 2022’s drop on June 18 last year. All told, Cruel Country is the eighth top 10-charting effort on Top Album Sales for Wilco, and it ties for the act’s highest-charting effort on the list. (A whopping five of the band’s eight top 10s all peaked at No. 4.)
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours falls 2-5 on Top Album Sales with 6,000 sold (down 20%) and Michael Jackson’s Thriller dips 5-6 with 5,000 sold (down 13%).
The soundtrack to the film Halloween Ends debuts at No. 7 on Top Album Sales following its vinyl release on Jan. 20. The set, across all formats, sold nearly 5,000 copies for the week. Halloween Ends is the highest charting soundtrack from the Halloween franchise on the 31-year-old chart, surpassing the No. 9 peak of Halloween Kills in 2021.
SZA’s Ctrl vaults 57-8 on Top Album Sales with nearly 5,000 sold – mostly from vinyl sales – after a replenishment of stock. Trippie Redd’s new Mansion Musik bows at No. 9 with nearly 5,000 sold (the rapper’s fourth top 10 effort), while Harry Styles’ former leader Harry’s House rises 11-10 with a little over 4,000 sold (down 7%).
In the week ending Jan. 26, there were 1.653 million albums sold in the U.S. (down 6.3% compared to the previous week). Of that sum, physical albums (CDs, vinyl LPs, cassettes, etc.) comprised 1.312 million (down 9.3%) and digital albums comprised 341,000 (down 7.6%).
There were 523,000 CD albums sold in the week ending Jan. 26 (down 2.8% week-over-week) and 782,000 vinyl albums sold (down 13.1%). Year-to-date CD album sales stand at 2.330 (down 3% compared to the same time frame a year ago) and year-to-date vinyl album sales total 3.478 million (up 27.4%).
Overall year-to-date album sales total 7.377 million (up 6.2% compared to the same year-to-date time frame a year ago). Year-to-date physical album sales stand at 6.044 million (up 13.5%) and digital album sales total 1.333 (down 17.9%).
Bizarrap and Shakira‘s “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53” adds a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart (dated Jan. 28). It’s the fourth “Music Session” by the Argentinian producer to rule the ranking for at least two weeks, leading with the eight-week champ “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 52,” with Quevedo in 2022.
Luck Ra’s“Ya No Vuelvas,” featuring La K’Onga and Ke Personajes, holds steady at No. 2 for s third week. While Miley Cyrus secures her first top 10 as “Flowers” lifts 11-3. She bests her previous No. 40 high with “Midnight Sky” in 2020.
Cris Mj, Duki and Nicki Nicole’ “Marisola,” featuring Standly, drops 3-4; while TINI, La Joaqui and Steve Aoki’s “Muñecas” remains at its No. 5 high for a second week.
Elsewhere, Miranda!’s “Yo Te Diré,” with Lali, takes the Hot Shot Debut of the week, at No. 26. Previously the group scored a No. 40 high with “Don” last November.
Further, Bizarrap Duki, La T y La M’s “3 Estrellas en el Conjunto” notches the Greatest Gainer honors with a 26-position ascent, (100-71).

Argentinian rapper Milo J clocks his firs chart appearance with “Milagrosa” at No. 92, while Quevedo and Ovy On The Drums secure a new entry with their latest collab “Sin Señal” at No. 98.

The six-member girl group’s first single in Japan ruled physical sales with 321,717 copies sold in its first week. In other metrics of the chart’s measurement, the single came in at No. 7 for video views, No. 14 for radio airplay, No. 41 in downloads, and No. 55 in streaming, leading this week’s song chart with 9,376 points overall.
After scoring its 12th week at No. 1 on the Japan Hot 100 last week, Official HIGE DANdism’s “Subtitle” slows down in all metrics besides radio and slips to No. 2 for the first time in nine weeks with 8,687 overall points, down by about 8 percent from the previous week.
This week saw the breakthrough of girl groups on the Japan Hot 100. TWICE’s “Moonlight Sunrise” jumps 20-5, fueled by streaming (No. 5, up 127 percent from last week) and video (No. 2, up 12 percent). Rising five-member K-pop group NewJeans’s “Ditto” also breaks into the top 10 after crawling up the list these past several weeks (12→18→13→12→11→10). The track was powered by streaming, coming in at No. 4 for the metric.
The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, YouTube and GYAO! video views and karaoke data.

It’s tough to accept at the time – a single catches fire with the public, flies up the chart and lands just shy of the top spot. Despite peaking at No. 2 on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, many songs that initially take the silver medal still emerge as massive winners in the end.

Some, including a case just two years ago, sustain enough momentum to leapfrog No. 1 hits to become the year’s top Hot 100 single; others become the springboard for artists to eventually capture that chart-topping hit; and a select few dominate pop culture so much that you’d swear that they, surely, definitely, unquestionably have topped the chart — before the facts reveal otherwise.
While the No. 1s get plenty of shine, let’s take a moment to celebrate another slate of hit singles. For 2/2, here is Billboard’s countdown of the top 50 songs to peak at No. 2 on the Hot 100.
Billboard’s Biggest No. 2 Hits ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 through Feb. 4, 2023, and includes only songs that peaked at No. 2 on the list. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.

Here’s a look at all nine of Humilde’s production credits on this week’s Hot Latin Songs chart:
Rank, Artist Billing, Title (co-producers in addition to Jimmy Humilde):No. 2, Fuerza Regida X Grupo Frontera, “Bebe Dame” (Jesús Ortiz Paz, Edgar Barrera, Miguel Armenta)No. 12, Junior H X Oscar Maydon, “Fin de Semana”No. 21, Fuerza Regida X Edgardo Nuñez, “Billete Grande” (Jesús Ortiz Paz)No. 22, Fuerza Regida X Natanael Cano, “Ch y La Pizza” (Jesús Ortiz Paz)No. 26, Fuerza Regida X Grupo Frontera, “911 (En Vivo)” (Jesús Ortiz Paz, Grupo Frontera, Edgar Barrera)No. 29, Chachito feat. Junior H, “En París”No. 36, Junior H & Gabito Ballesteros, “Vamos Para Arriba”No. 46, Junior H Con Banda, “El Hijo Mayor”No. 49, Oscar Maydon X El Padrinito Toys, “Los Collares”
Humilde succeeds Bizarrap, who hit No. 1 on Latin Producers a week earlier, and now ranks at No. 2. Bizarrap supplanted MAG, Bad Bunny’s go-to producer, who spent 38 weeks at the summit, including every week since the May 21, 2022, ranking, when Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti arrived on Billboard‘s charts. Only Tainy has spent more time at No. 1 than MAG, with 119 total weeks.
Humilde is the founder and CEO of regional Mexican label Rancho Humilde, which finished at No. 4 on Billboard’s 2022 year-end Hot Latin Songs Labels recap. The label’s roster includes Natanael Cano, Junior H and Fuerza Regida.
Humilde scored his first production credits on the Hot Latin Songs chart in 2018, via El De La Guitarra’s “A Lo Lejos Me Veran” and “El Monstro 7,” which peaked at Nos. 24 and 38, respectively.
“Bebe Dame” recently brought Humilde his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a producer, when the track debuted on the chart dated Jan. 7 at No. 91; it ranks at No. 32 on the latest list, a week after reaching No. 25.
Over on Billboard’s Latin Songwriters chart, Humilde’s collaborator Edgar Barrera logs a 15th week at No. 1, thanks for four songwriting credits on Hot Latin Songs. Here’s a recap:
Rank, Artist Billing, Title (co-songwriters in addition to Edgar Barrera)No. 2, Fuerza Regida X Grupo Frontera, “Bebe Dame” (Jesús Ortiz Paz, Miguel Armenta)No. 3, Carin Leon X Grupo Frontera, “Que Vuelvas”No. 7, Manuel Turizo, “La Bachata” (Manuel Turizo, Casta, Rios, Juan Diego Medina)No. 26, Fuerza Regida X Grupo Frontera, “911 (En Vivo)” (Horacio Palencia, Nathan Galante, Salvador Hurtado)
Barrera’s 15 weeks at No. 1 mark the third-most in the chart’s history, after only Bad Bunny (95) and Tainy (24).
The weekly Latin Songwriters and Latin Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot Latin Songs chart. 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 Latin Songwriters and Latin Producers charts, in addition to the full genre rankings, can be found on Billboard.com.
Tiësto takes top Streaming and Sales Gainer honors on Billboard‘s multimetric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated Feb. 4) with “10:35,” featuring Tate McRae. The collab climbs from No. 6 to No. 5, returning to its highest rank, following the Jan. 19 release of its Joel Corry remix. The track earned 5.8 million official U.S. streams, up 23%, and sold 1,400 downloads, up 15%, while also drawing 3 million radio airplay audience impressions, up 53%, in the Jan. 20-26 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“10:35,” which debuted at No. 8 on the Nov. 19 tally and has remained in the top 10 since, is Tiësto’s eighth top 10, among 36 career entries (dating to the chart’s 2013 inception). It’s McRae’s second, after “You,” with Regard and Troye Sivan, reigned for eight weeks in June-August 2021.
Concurrently, “10:35” improves on Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs (5-3) and Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (5-4). Additionally, “10:35” clocks in at No. 72 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, debuting as Tiësto’s seventh song to make the survey and McRae’s sixth.
Continuing with Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, ILLENIUM and Nina Nesbitt notch the list’s highest entrance with “Luv Me a Little,” at No. 11. Now with 46 career entries, ILLENIUM ties Calvin Harris for the sixth-most; David Guetta leads with 73, followed by Kygo (61), Marshmello (54), The Chainsmokers (52) and Martin Garrix (51).
“Luv,” Nesbitt’s first showing on the chart, starts with 1.8 million streams. It’s from ILLENIUM’s self-titled album, due April 28.
Shifting to the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, Anabel Englund cruises to her eighth top 10, in as many tries, with “Need Me Right” (11-5). Since she first advanced to the top 10 with “So Hot” (12-7, May 2, 2020; the track ultimately peaked at No. 2), Englund matches Corry and Guetta for the most among all acts. Englund has two No. 1s, “Picture Us” (October 2020) and “Underwater,” with MK (April 2021).
“Need” is scoring core-dance airplay on Music Choice’s Dance/EDM channel, KMVQ-HD2 San Francisco and WZFL (Revolution 93.5, All Things Dance) Miami, among other signals. (The Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart measures radio airplay on a select group of full-time dance stations, along with plays during mix shows on around 70 top 40-formatted reporters.)
Meanwhile, Corry collects his ninth top 10 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay and Tom Grennan grabs his second with “Lionheart (Fearless)” (14-8). The song soars with notable core-dance airplay on SiriusXM’s BPM, Music Choice’s Dance/EDM and KNHC (C89.5) Seattle.
Trippie Redd banks his fourth consecutive No. 1 album on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart as Mansion Musik debuts in the top slot of the list dated Feb. 4. The set, released on Jan. 20 via 1400/Ten Thousand Projects/Capitol Records, opens with 56,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 26, according to Luminate.
Of the 56,000 unit start, 50,000 units derive from streaming-equivalent album units, representing 68.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams of the album’s songs. 5,000 of the remaining units are from traditional album sales, and the residual balance of 1,000 units comes from track-equivalent album units. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)
Mansion Musik gives Trippie Redd his fifth total champ on the Top Rap Albums chart, and, as mentioned above, marks his fourth leader in a row. Here’s a full recap of all seven of his No. 1s on the chart – all of which have ruled for one week:
A Love Letter to You 3, Nov. 24, 2018
A Love Letter to You 4, Dec. 7, 2019
Pegasus, Nov. 14, 2020
Trip at Knight, Nov. 4, 2021
Mansion Musik, Feb. 4, 2023
In addition to the five chart-toppers, the 23-year-old rapper has three more albums that have made the list: A Love Letter to You 2 reached at No. 14 in October 2017, Life’s a Trip achieved a No. 4 best in August 2018 and ! debuted and peaked in the runner-up spot in August 2019.
Elsewhere, Mansion Musik starts at No. 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, behind only SZA’s blockbuster SOS, and at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200, trailing SOS and Taylor Swift’s Midnights.
As Mansion Musik arrives, four of its songs land on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “Knight Crawler,” with Juice WRLD, leads the pack at No. 19 and was the project’s most streamed song of the week. “Crawler” registered 10 million official U.S. streams in the week and launched at No. 4 on the Rap Streaming Songs chart.
After “Crawler,” the next highest placement on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs belongs to “Fully Loaded,” with Future and Lil Baby, which starts at No. 33. The Travis Scott collab “Krzy Train” starts at No. 35, while a second teamup with Lil Baby, “Dark Brotherhood,” enters at No. 46.
Though it’s only January, the third episode of HBO’s post-apocalyptic survival series The Last of Us is already certain to end 2023 as one of the most acclaimed TV episodes of the year. The tearjerking episode, which focused on a decades-spanning love story between two new characters, has been rapturously received in nearly all corners of the media and the internet — and has also led to another streaming success story, this time for Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Linda Ronstadt.
Ronstadt’s devastating ballad “Long, Long Time,” which served as her breakout solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it reached No. 25 in Oct. 1970, is showcased multiple times in the episode. It appears first in renditions by actors Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman, when they find the sheet music with an old piano owned by Offerman’s character, then as Ronstadt’s original version at the end of the episode, when the show’s main characters (played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey) find a cassette with the song in a car formerly belonging to Offerman’s character.
Unsurprisingly, the success of the show (and of the episode in particular, also titled “Long, Long Time”) has led to the song taking off in both streaming and sales. From Jan. 28 (the day before the episode) to Jan. 30 (the day after), the song jumped from under 8,000 daily official on-demand U.S. streams to nearly 149,000, and from a negligible number of daily sales to over 1,500 — spikes of 1,776% and 13,782%, respectively, according to Luminate. It’s still a ways from re-charting on the Hot 100, but with its sales and streams still looking to be rising days after the episode’s premiere, it should be in contention for debuts on a couple of Billboard charts next week.
It’s not the first time The Last of Us has resulted in big gains for an older track: After Depeche Mode’s “Never Let Me Down Again” was featured as an ominous radio transmission at the end of the show’s first episode, the song rose 220.5% in daily streams. With “Long, Long Time” now experiencing even greater gains, it seems that The Last of Us is gonna be the show to watch for 2023 when it comes to generating high-profile synch moments with lucrative payoffs for the artists (or writers) involved.
Bizarrap and Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (dated Feb. 4). Their in-studio diss track has now topped nine U.S. Billboard charts, including Latin Digital Song Sales, Latin Pop Digital Song Sales, Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs, Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales, Hot Latin Songs, Latin Streaming Songs, Latin Pop Airplay, Latin Pop Streaming Songs, and now Latin Airplay.
“Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” advances 5-1 in its second week on Latin Airplay after a strong 35% gain in audience impressions, to 10 million, earned in the week ending Jan. 26, according to Luminate.
The new coronation extends Shakira’s record among women, with 18 No. 1s. Bizarrap clocks his second after “Vol. 52,” with Quevedo, reached the top of the chart last November where it remained for four weeks.
Shakira, meanwhile, replaces herself at No. 1 as “Vol. 53” sends “Monotonía,” with Ozuna, to No. 5, after six weeks in charge, the most since Daddy Yankee’s “Con Calma,” featuring Snow, dominated the tally for eight weeks in 2019. Notably, it’s the first time a woman replaces herself at No. 1 since the chart launched in 1994.
Plus, the last time an act replaced itself at No. 1 on Latin Airplay was Farruko when “Pepas” dethroned his featured turn on Enrique Iglesias’ “Me Pasé” in October 2021.
As mentioned, “Vol. 53” continues its winning streak across Billboard charts. It remains at No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs, Hot Latin Songs, Latin Pop Airplay, and Latin Streaming Songs and Latin Pop Streaming Songs for a second week, while on Latin Digital Song Sales and Latin Pop Digital Song Sales, the track holds atop for a third week.
Over on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, the track dips 9-13. Further, it holds steady at No. 2 on both Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.
