The endurance of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” hits new historic heights as the song logs a record-breaking 92nd week on the Billboard Hot 100. The single surpasses the run of Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves,” which ran up 91 weeks in 2021-22, for the most time spent on the chart dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception.
“Lose Control” debuted at No. 99 on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 26, 2023. It led for a week in March 2024, and became the year’s No. 1 song. It ranks at No. 11 on the latest list, dated May 31, 2025.
The soulful smash has also amassed a record 63 weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10. (Songs have generally logged longer runs on the chart, and at No. 1 and in the top 10, since the survey adopted electronically tracked Luminate data in November 1991.)
Along the way, “Lose Control,” on SWIMS Int./Warner Records, has also ruled the following Billboard charts: the all-format Radio Songs and Digital Song Sales surveys, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay and Pop Airplay. It also hit No. 2 on Adult Alternative Airplay and the top five on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
“Lose Control” has even outlasted two follow-up singles that each hit the Hot 100’s top 40: “The Door” (No. 24 peak, last October) and “Bad Dreams” (No. 30, earlier this May). Both songs also reached the top 10 on Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay. Another of Teddy Swims’ hits, “Are You Even Real,” with Giveon, topped Adult R&B Airplay in April.
“Teddy Swims is a once-in-a-generation talent who defies genres, making him truly unique in today’s music landscape,” Warner evp of promotion and commerce Mike Chester told Billboard last year. “When we began promoting ‘Lose Control,’ our journey was carefully planned. From the start, we noticed that the song was resonating in various pockets of culture, creating a strong and diverse fanbase.”
The artist born Jaten Dimsdale, in Conyers Ga., in 1992, and who made his overall Billboard chart debut in 2021, was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards this year. “I love always watching your updates,” he mused of Billboard News’ weekly recap of the Hot 100’s top 10. “It’s like, ‘Here comes Teddy Swims!’ I hope you never stop saying that. I’m grateful.”

Nikki Glaser was one of countless Swifties who was a little let down after the 2025 American Music Awards ended with no word from Taylor Swift, despite a trail of seeming clues leading up to the show that fans had thought meant the pop superstar be making an appearance or announcing something major on Monday night (May 26).
But in the hours before the ceremony ended in Las Vegas — back when Swiftie hopes were still high — the comedian gushed in a red carpet interview with Billboard that she was indeed “clowning” over the possibility of the pop superstar showing up to unveil either a brand new album or Reputation (Taylor’s Version). “I did see a list on Instagram tonight of all the Easter eggs that say that she’s going to be here,” Glaser said, noting that she was trying not to think too much about it, lest she “freak out.”
“I’m usually someone that doesn’t clown, and I’m like, ‘Guys, don’t get your hopes up,’” she continued while speaking to QTCinderalla and Billboard’s Tetris Kelly. “But I think I’m clowning.”
Ultimately, Swift didn’t even attend the awards, much less share news about a new project. The no-show came weeks after fans first noticed that the 14-time Grammy winner’s online store had changed to display a menu reading, “Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale,” spelling out “AMAs” with each word’s first letter. Swifties — Glaser included — also discovered that several items on the website were on sale for 26% off their original price, matching the May 26 date of the ceremony.
“It’s too much of a coincidence with all the 26s lining up,” Glaser gushed to Billboard. “What else could it be? There’s gotta be something, and if there’s not … I have a feeling she’s holding onto [Reputation (Taylor’s Version)] for a long time. I think that girl’s got new music for us — that’s my prediction.”
But despite her excitement, the TV personality noted that she would be happy even if Swift didn’t make any moves that night. “Even if she doesn’t show up, we love it,” added Glaser, who later presented new artist of the year to Gracie Abrams. “Thank you for the puzzle.”
Though Monday’s goose chase ended up leading to a dead end, Swift is famous for teasing things months in advance and leaving Easter eggs for her fans to decode. The practice dates back to the very beginning of her career, when she used to hide secret messages in her CD lyric booklets by not-so-randomly capitalizing letters. In the 20 years since, Swifties have gotten used to scanning everything from her outfits to her Instagram captions for subtle clues about her next steps.
Glaser has long been a fan of the “Fortnight” singer, revealing in December that she’d spent nearly $100,000 to see Swift on 22 Eras Tour shows in 2023 and 2024. “She has no idea who I am, but I’m just the biggest fan,” the comedian said in July of being “addicted” to the concerts on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I want to just see it as much as possible, it’s the thing that makes me happiest in the world.”
In February, however, the Someday You’ll Die stand-up explained why she would never approach her idol in person. “Taylor, she’s just — everyone wants a piece,” she said on Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard of bumping into the pop star at award shows. “I will never be the one to be like, ‘Excuse me!’ There’s no way that she’s dying for that on a night like this where everyone’s doing it. And of course, she would be so nice. I know exactly how it would go down, but I don’t wanna take someone’s energy away that I require their energy to be put into making great music.”

Dance With Sabrina will see players invited to take part in her vibrant and critically acclaimed live show. Players are able to test their rhythm as they match to the beat of Sabrina’s 2024 Pop Airplay-topping singles “Bad Chem” and “Espresso” as they fill their heart meter.
Those with the highest heart meter by the song’s end will be able to contribute to the gig as Dance Leader, Special Effects Pro or Video Artist for the next song.

“Artists come to Fortnite to connect with their fans and create in-game music experiences that are authentic to their music and style,” said Emily Levy, Director of Music, Talent & Influencer at Epic Games, in a statement. “When Sabrina came to Fortnite, we saw seas of Sabrina Carpenter Outfits populate matches and perform synchronized Dance Emotes, so we knew we had to celebrate this season with an epic dance party inspired by our players and their incredible energy.”

Each night will feature a unique performance from the band. On night one (Aug. 29), the group will perform its 2001 self-titled debut in full and recreate the early live performances. The band’s first show at London’s Scala in 2001 saw the live musicians perform behind a curtain while the avatars of the group’s virtual members – Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D – were projected to the audience; Albarn and his band of musicians will perform in a similar way on night one.

The following night (August 30) will honor 2005’s Demon Days, which featured hit singles “Feel Good Inc.” and “Dare.” The LP landed at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and scored them their sole Grammy Award to date for best pop vocal collaboration (“Feel Good Inc.”). The live performance will pay homage to the limited run of shows in Manchester (2005) and New York (2006), where the album was also played in full, and Hewlett’s visuals for the show will also be resurrected.
On Sept. 2, their third LP Plastic Beach, will be performed in full for the first time since 2010. The record hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, and the group headlined Glastonbury Festival that summer after U2 were forced to withdraw due to injury.
The residency’s final night (Sept. 3) is billed as a ‘mystery show,’ and promises special guests alongside the group. Earlier this year Albarn revealed that he was completing work on an upcoming Gorillaz LP, which would be the band’s ninth.
Ticket holders to the House of Kong exhibition will have priority access to tickets when they go on sale later this week (May 30). Passes for the House of Kong exhibition are on sale now.

“Hello friends, I am so so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my pride show in order to deal with family issues,” Grimes wrote in a statement shared to social media on Monday (May 26).
Trending on Billboard
“I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon,” she added. “I think the show is still going to be amazing and the lineup is great. I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans. And I *will* make this up to you guys very soon.”
The World Pride event has not announced any replacement for Grimes, but did issue a statement on their Instagram Stories addressing her decision to leave the lineup. “We’re sending love and support to Grimes during this time as she steps away to focus on personal matters,” they wrote. “We fully support her decision and are thinking of her and her family.”
No specifics have been given as to the “family issues” Grimes mentioned in her post, though she has previously taken to social media to criticize former partner Elon Musk and his behavior as the father of her three children.
In February, she responded to Musk’s decision to bring their first-born son to a White House briefing, claiming, “He should not be in public like this.” Several days later, Grimes tweeted directly at Musk, saying in a since-deleted tweet, “plz respond about our child’s medical crisis. I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation.”
The D.C. World Pride event will launch on Friday, June 6, with Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Marina, and others set to perform on the opening night.
