The single, the only song that previewed Yuridia’s EP Literal, released June 27 via Sony Music Entertainment Mexico, takes the throne in its eighth week after a 46% surge in audience impressions to 6.7 million in the tracking week of Sept. 27-Oct. 3, according to Luminate.

Thanks to the rise, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” wins the weekly Greatest Gainer award among the 40 songs on Regional Mexican Airplay. It also evicts Banda MS’ “Tengo Claro,” featuring Alfredo Olivas, after the latter’s one week in charge.
“Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” becomes Yuridia’s first ruler during a Billboard chart career that dates to 2005, when the Mexican singer-songwriter reached a No. 16 high on Top Latin Albums through her debut album La Voz de Un Ángel (March 2006). The set also took her to her first top 10 on any chart, peaking at No. 6 on Latin Pop Albums.
The song’s coronation on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives after Yuridia came close to the summit with the No. 3-peaking “Que Agonía,” with Angela Aguilar, in March 2023.
Muñoz secures his fifth champ, previously topping the list with the one-week ruler “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” in January.
The pair previously collaborated on “Me Hace Tanto Bien,” one of 14 tracks on Yuridia’s album Pa’ Luego Es Tarde, her first foray with a regional Mexican Album, which reached a No. 7 high on Regional Mexican Albums in 2022; the song did not land on a radio ranking.
“Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” also flies 13-2 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, for both artists’ highest charting entry to date. While “Que Agonía” took Yuridia to a No. 3 high in March 2023, Muñoz locked a No. 4 high with “Como En Los Viejos Tiempos” in January.
The latest on Yuridia and Muñoz becomes the fourth female-male soloist team-up to land in the top three on Latin Airplay in 2024. Peso Pluma did it twice through collabs with Karol G and Kali Uchis. Here are those combined gender hits on the overall radio tally thus far:
Artists, Title, Peak Position, Peak Date
Karol G & Peso Pluma, “Qlona,” No. 1, March 2
Kali Uchis & Peso Pluma, “Igual Que Un Ángel,” No. 1, June 29
Alejandro Fernández & Anitta, “La Tóxica,” No. 2, Sept. 21
Yuridia & Eden Muñoz, “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto,” No. 3, Oct. 12

The chart’s history dates to May 25, 1991, when 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.

In a big moment for jazz, Ezra Collective broke into the Top 10 for the first time with Dance, No One’s Watching, debuting at No. 7. The last time jazz had such a big moment in the U.K. Top 10 was Chris Kamara’s Here’s To Christmas in 2019. Ezra Collective previously earned Top 40 success with their Mercury Prize-winning Where I’m Meant To Be in 2022, but this leap to the Top 10 marks a game-changer for the genre.
Elsewhere, Manchester’s Pale Waves made waves of their own with their fourth studio album Smitten, landing at No. 13, while indie veterans Maximo Park claimed No. 21 with Stream of Life, keeping their streak of Top 40 albums intact.

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti have also made their mark with their collaboration “Timeless,” from The Weeknd’s upcoming sixth album Hurry Up, Tomorrow, debuting at No. 7 on the chart. This marks The Weeknd’s 17th Top 10 hit in the U.K., while for Playboi Carti, it’s his second.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” has been steadily climbing the chart and has now broken into the Top 20 for the first time, landing bang on No. 20.
Billie is no stranger to chart-topping success, having previously reached No. 2 with her 2019 smash hit “Bad Guy.” With “Wildflower” continuing to gain momentum, it could mean Billie may be heading for another chart milestone.
In another impressive leap, Linkin Park’s “Heavy Is The Crown” skyrocketed 48 places this week to No. 18, marking the band’s 20th U.K. Top 40 single. It’s clear that even after years in the game and a new vocalist, their fanbase remains as dedicated as ever, proving their staying power in a constantly evolving music landscape.
Addison Rae also continues to rise, as her song “Diet Pepsi” moved up 15 spots to No. 22. This marks her first time breaking into the U.K. Top 40, marking a major achievement for the emerging pop star.
Rounding out the chart’s newcomers is London MC Nines, who enters the Top 40 at No. 39 with “Going Crazy,” following the release of his final album. His latest effort has garnered enough attention to secure his seventh U.K. Top 40 single.
Additionally, Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season,” named the biggest song of the year so far in the U.K., has made a return to the Top 40, landing at No. 40. The track’s ability to rebound into the chart after slipping out showcases its enduring popularity and appeal across various audiences.

Harlequin earns the biggest debut week, by units earned, for any jazz album, or traditional jazz album, since Love for Sale earned 41,000 units in its opening week (Oct. 16, 2021-dated charts).
Equivalent album 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. All Oct. 12, 2024-dated charts will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Oct. 8. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Of Harlequin’s first-week units, streaming equivalent album-units comprise nearly 9,000 – equaling 11.34 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs. The latter figure marks the biggest debut streaming week for a jazz album in over a year, since Laufey’s Bewitched bowed with 22.36 million clicks (Sept. 23, 2023-dated chart).
Harlequin also debuts at No. 20 on the overall Billboard 200 and No. 3 on both Vinyl Albums and Top Album Sales.
Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums rank the week’s most popular jazz and traditional jazz albums, respectively, by equivalent album units earned. The Billboard 200 ranks the week’s most popular albums across all genres, by units. Vinyl Albums and Top Album Sales tally the week’s top-selling vinyl albums, and overall albums, by traditional album sales.
Also on Top Album Sales, Billy Strings’ Highway Prayer debuts at No. 1 with 19,000 sold in its first week – the act’s biggest sales week ever. It’s also the first No. 1 for the artist. Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess slips one spot to No. 2 (18,000; down 67%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet is steady at No. 4 (14,000; down 3%), Katy Perry’s 143 falls 2-5 (9,000; down 77%), Luke Bryan’s Mind of a Country Boy bows at No. 6 (nearly 8,000), Taylor Swift’s chart-topping Folklore vaults 33-7 (7,500; up 153% after a stock replenishment of its CD at retail), Stray Kids’ former leader ATE is a non-mover at No. 8 (7,000; down 6%), P1Harmony’s Sad Song falls 3-9 (6,000; down 77%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft climbs 15-10 (nearly 6,000; up 8%).

As if the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar wasn’t already historic, the saga’s most enduring track, Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” enters the record books with an unprecedented 21st week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart. The single, released on pgLang/Interscope/ICLG, surpasses Lil Nas X’s 2019 juggernaut, “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, for the most weeks atop the chart since its launch in 1989.
“Not Like Us,” released May 4 amid the height of the rappers’ feud, reaches the record through continued strong performance in the three metrics that inform the chart: streaming, sales and radio airplay.
Trending on Billboard
It wins a 20th frame at No. 1 on the Rap Streaming Songs chart thanks to 17.1 million official U.S. streams in the latest tracking week (Sept. 27 – Oct. 3), according to Luminate. With its newest week on top, it matches “Old Town Road” for the third-longest command among all titles. Desiigner’s “Panda” and Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” share first place, at 23 weeks each.
For sales, “Not Like Us” registered 2,000 downloads in the tracking week. Despite a 10% decline from the prior week, it pushes 4-3 on Rap Digital Song Sales, a list it previously ruled for nine nonconsecutive weeks.
Lamar’s smash also repeats at No. 7 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, with 45.4 million in total audience impressions, a 3% slide. (All radio airplay, regardless of genre, contributes to a song’s rank on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.) The single dominated its core format this summer, with 15 nonconsecutive weeks in charge of the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay list.
As “Not Like Us” resets the leaderboard on Hot Rap Songs, here’s a review of the songs with the most weeks at No. 1 in the chart’s 35-year history:
Weeks at No. 1, Song Title, Artist, Date Reached No. 121, “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar, May 18, 202420, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, April 13, 201919, “Industry Baby,” Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow, Aug. 7, 202118, “Hot Boyz,” Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott featuring Nas, Eve & Q-Tip, Nov. 27, 199918, “Fancy,” Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX, May 3, 201418, “Hotline Bling,” Drake, Oct. 10, 201517, “Panda,” Desiigner, April 23, 201617, “Mood,” 24kGoldn featuring iann dior, Oct. 24, 2020
The colossal single extends Lamar’s recent near-monopoly on Hot Rap Songs, with the rapper in the No. 1 spot for 27 of the last 28 weeks. Before “Not Like Us” took the throne, the Pulitzer Prize winner, Future and Metro Boomin ruled with their collaboration “Like That,” a six-week champ. In the past six months, only Eminem’s “Houdini” interrupted the Lamar blockade, by sneaking out a one-week rule in June.
