Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” surges 32-10 on the Hot 100. With the song, which hit No. 4 in 1984, the late King of Pop becomes the first artist ever to rank in the top 10 in six distinct decades (the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s and now ‘20s). He surpasses Andy Williams, who died in 2012 and whose history includes placements in the top 10 in five decades (‘50s, ’60s, ’70s, ‘10s and ’20s, extended since 2018 thanks to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”).
Jackson first reached the Hot 100’s top 10 as a soloist in November 1971 with his debut on his own, “Got to Be There.” (His fellow acts in the top 10 that week: Isaac Hayes, Cher, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Bread, the Chi-Lites, Rod Stewart, Cat Stevens, Sly & the Family Stone and The Osmonds.) Jackson boasts 30 top 10s, including 13 No. 1s. Until this week, Jackson, who died in 2009, last ranked in the top 10 as featured on Drake’s “Don’t Matter to Me” in 2018.
(Notably, with Jackson, then just 11 years old, as a member, the Jackson 5 spent its first week in the Hot 100’s top 10 on the last chart of the ‘60s, dated Dec. 27, 1969, with breakthrough hit “I Want You Back.”)
With Halloween kicking off the Oct. 31-Nov. 6 tracking week, “Thriller” drew 14 million streams (up 57% week-over-week) and 9.3 million in radio airplay audience (up 124%), while selling 3,000 (up 1%).
Additionally, “Thriller” is now Jackson’s sole longest-charting Hot 100 hit: 26 weeks. It one-ups two other classics from his Thriller album, as “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” each spent 25 weeks on the chart beginning in 1983.

“Bandaids,” the new single from Katy Perry, tops this week’s fan-voted music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Nov. 7) on Billboard, choosing Perry’s latest track as their favorite new release.
“Bandaids” made its arrival during a week that also saw new music releases from Rosalía, Hilary Duff, Kehlani and more, and brought in 44% of the vote.
The song about moving on following the end of a longterm relationship — Perry’s first since splitting with actor Orlando Bloom — has the pop star singing, “Got so used to you letting me down/ No use tryna send flowers now/ Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t/ Bandaids over a broken heart/ Tried all the medications/ Lowered my expectations/ Made every justification/ Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow/ Bandaids over a broken heart.”

“tbh I struggled for months with the idea of putting this song out… even after all these years it can be scary to be vulnerable… but hopefully the lyrics of this song resonate with someone going through what I have been through and maybe they won’t feel so alone and will find the strength to keep going like I have,” she wrote to fans on Instagram.
Perry’s been on the road with her Lifetimes Tour since April, and is currently finishing up the European leg of the trek before making her way to China later this month.
Her last full-length studio album, 143, was released in 2024 and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Among the new releases trailing behind “Bandaids” are Rosalía’s Lux, with 37% of the vote; Hilary Duff’s “Mature,” with 9% of the vote, and Kehlani’s “Out the Window,” with 2% of the vote.

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl continues to dance atop the Billboard 200 for a fifth straight week at No. 1 (on the chart dated Nov. 15). It earned 120,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 6 (down 18%), according to Luminate.
The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its five weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (which spent its first eight weeks atop the list, of its total 12 at No. 1). Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, of its total 17 weeks atop the list. Three of her albums have led for their first five chart weeks or more, starting with Folklore, which reigned for its first six weeks in 2020, of eight overall weeks at No. 1.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Florence + the Machine notch their fifth top 10-charted effort, as Everybody Scream debuts at No. 4, while Tyler, The Creator’s chart-topping CHROMAKOPIA vaults 117-5 after its one-year anniversary reissue.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. 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. The new, Nov. 15, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Nov. 11. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 120,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 98,000 (down 18%, equaling 129.07 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a fifth week), album sales comprise 18,000 (down 21%; it falls 3-4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 4,000 (up 11%).
At Nos. 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem are non-movers. The former No. 1s earned 84,000 equivalent album units (down less than 1%) and 77,000 units (up 2%), respectively.
Florence + the Machine’s Everybody Scream debuts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, marking the fifth top 10 for the act. The set arrives with 56,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 44,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 12,000 (equaling 15.25 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
The album’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across six vinyl variants (including one signed), four CD variants (one signed) and a standard digital download album (all with the same tracklist). There was also a deluxe download edition with four “chamber version” bonus tracks — alternative versions of the album’s title track, “Sympathy Magic,” “The Old Religion” and “Drink Deep.”
The new album was preceded by its lead single, its title track, which has hit the top 10 on both the Alternative Airplay and Adult Alternative Airplay charts, while also reaching No. 37 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
Florence + the Machine previously reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with their previous four studio albums: Dance Fever (No. 7 in 2022), High as Hope (No. 2 in 2018), How Big How Blue How Beautiful (No. 1 in 2015) and Ceremonials (No. 6 in 2011). The act’s first studio set, Lungs, peaked at No. 14 in 2010 and spent two and-a-half years on the chart.
Tyler, The Creator’s former No. 1 CHROMAKOPIA shoots 117-5 on the Billboard 200 following its one-year anniversary reissue on CD, vinyl and in two deluxe boxed sets (containing branded merch and a copy of the CD). It earned 51,000 equivalent album units (up 390%), with 41,000 of that sum in traditional album sales (up from a negligible sum in the week previous). CHROMAKOPIA debuted at No. 1 on the Nov. 9, 2024-dated chart and spent its first three weeks atop the list.
Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Man’s Best Friend slips 5-6 on the latest Billboard 200 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (down 8%), while Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving falls 6-7 (37,000, down 3%). A trio of former No. 1s rounds out the top 10: SZA’s SOS rises 10-8 (31,000, down less than 1%), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time steps 11-9 (30,000, up 3%) and Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? dips 8-10 (down 12%).

An image file titled “oops.jpg” offers a peek at a snapshot of a Macbook screen that shows a tour announcement preview with a “NOT FOR RELEASE” watermark — suggesting that Williams leaked the itinerary early. The picture has a list of 20 cities she’s scheduled to visit on the At a Bachelor Party Tour.
The Paramore frontwoman’s solo trek kicks off in the United States with a concert in Atlanta, Ga., on March 28 and runs through June 29 in Dublin, Ireland. Williams will make it to several U.S. markets — plus Toronto, Canada, and select cities in Europe.
Information about ticket on-sale dates is not yet available.
Williams’ tour will be in support of her latest album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party — which arrived unsequenced and scattered across her website, and then on streaming services, in August, but just got a physical CD and vinyl release on Friday, Nov. 7, with an added track (“Showbiz,” embedded below).
