2024 has undeniably been the year of Sabrina Carpenter on the U.K. charts. With “Taste” holding steady at the top, Carpenter has collectively spent 17 weeks at No. 1 this year alone, thanks to earlier smashes like “Espresso” (which dominated for seven weeks) and “Please Please Please” (which ruled for five).
But the race isn’t over yet—Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” is creeping up fast, now sitting at No. 2 and just 2,300 chart units behind.

But wait, there’s more – The Weeknd is also coming in hot with his latest collab with Playboi Carti. Their track “Timeless” made an explosive debut at No. 3 and eyeing a spot in the upper echelon. It’s a strong start for this new release, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a chart shakeup next week.
As mentioned, Sabrina’s other hits are still hanging strong. “Espresso” proves it’s still brewing strong as it holds steady at No. 4, and “Please Please Please” remains at No. 6, making it clear she’s having a banner year. Carpenter’s chart reign is far from over, but with strong competition from Roan and The Weeknd, we’ll see if she can keep the momentum going.
Elsewhere on the chart, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are on the rise, with their duet “Die With a Smile” climbing from No. 6 to No. 4. And speaking of rising stars, Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go” has cracked the Top 10 for the first time, jumping two spots from No. 12 to No. 10.
Teddy Swims is on the brink of his first Top 10 breakthrough as “The Door” edges up to No. 11, just one spot away from making it into the coveted top tier. Coldplay, too, are making moves—”feelslikeimfallinginlove” has shot up 13 places to land at No. 18, thanks in part to their upcoming U.K. tour.
Stay tuned to see how the U.K. Official Singles Chart unfolds this Friday.
Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has a banner week on the Billboard charts (dated Oct. 5), reaching No. 1 on Top Album Sales for the first time (rising 6-1), returning to the top of Vinyl Albums (up 4-1), as well as rising 3-2 on the Billboard 200 for a third nonconsecutive week at its peak position.

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 26 (up 64%) according to Luminate, marking its biggest week yet by units earned.* Traditional album sales comprise a career weekly-best 56,000 (up 328%). Vinyl sales were red-hot for the set, with 50,000 sold (up 548%), easily Roan’s best week on vinyl and the sixth-largest week for any vinyl album in 2024.
The week-over-week growth is owed to the release of four new vinyl variants and a cassette tape in celebration of the album’s first anniversary on Sept. 22.
The set also returns to No. 1 on the Indie Store Album Sales chart (up one spot), for a seventh nonconsecutive frame, continuing as the title with the most weeks atop the ranking in 2024. The album sold 15,500 copies at independent record stores – the second-biggest week for any album in the indie sector this year. Only Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department had a bigger week with indies in 2024, when it sold 17,000 copies in its opening week.
Midwest Princess’ total year-to-date sales now rise to 248,000 sold, making it the 10th-biggest selling album of 2024. The Tortured Poets Department has a runaway lead as the year’s top-seller, with 2.77 million. Her 2024 vinyl sales climb to 167,000 – the third-biggest selling vinyl title of the year thus far. Poets is also the top-selling vinyl album of 2024, with 1.03 million.
* 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.
“Tengo Claro” takes Banda MS and Alfredo Olivas to No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart, where the song rises a spot on the Oct. 5-dated list.

While both acts add their second champ of 2024, Banda MS collects its 21st No. 1, after “Tu Perfume” ruled for one week in April. With the new win, the group continues as the act with the second-most leaders since the tally launched in 1994, coming closer to Calibre 50’s 25 rulers.

With “Tengo Claro,” Olivas ups his career count to five total No. 1s among 23 chart visits. The song also becomes his second champ through a collaboration, following his featured role on Alejandro Fernández’s “Cobijas Ajenas,” for one week atop Regional Mexican Airplay in June.
“Tengo Claro” was released July 5 via Lizos Music and marks the label’s 17th No. 1. Lizos’ latest hit follows its previous most recent, another Banda MS win: “Tu Perfume” (one week in charge in April).
Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay coronation, “Tengo Claro” also cracks the top five on the overall Latin Airplay ranking, where it races 6-2, marking Banda MS’ highest-charting song since the No. 1-peaking “No Elegí Conocerte” in 2019.

Andrea Bocelli is the recipient of the 2024 Morton E. Ruderman Award in Inclusion, which is presented by The Ruderman Family Foundation. Bocelli is being recognized for his career, as well as for his philanthropic work through the Andrea Bocelli Foundation. Bocelli will formally receive the award when he is in Boston later this year, coinciding with his 2024 holiday tour.
The Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) will receive a $100,000 contribution to help rebuild ABF schools throughout Haiti.
“Whether it be through my personal journey, musical career, or philanthropic projects, I have always prioritized giving a voice to the voiceless — to give back to the world all the good things I have received, so the less fortunate or most vulnerable members of our society get a chance to achieve a life full of opportunity and beauty,” Bocelli said in a statement. “It is therefore a tremendous honor to receive this award from the Ruderman Family Foundation, an organization that shares my worldview in both word and deed. Together, we will continue to work to build a better world than the one we have found.”
Trending on Billboard
The ABF, together with the local partner Foundation St. Luc, has already helped rebuild several schools in Haiti in five of the poorest and most remote communities, offering educational access to more than 3,500 students every day.
Bocelli’s foundation has raised 70 million Euros, has funded 10 schools in Haiti and Italy, and has improved water access for more than 400,000 people since it was established in 2011.
“Both in his musical career and his philanthropic work, Andrea Bocelli has unmistakably demonstrated that through perseverance we can achieve even the most ambitious goals and dreams,” said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation.
The award, now in its 10th year, was named after Morton E. Ruderman, a founder of the Ruderman Family Foundation. Past recipients of the award who were honored specifically for effectuating change on the issue of inclusion include Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, former U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin and filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrelly. (Peter Farrelly won two Oscars in 2019 for co-producing and co-writing Green Book.)
Several other recipients of the award have been recognized for their efforts to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, including actress Eva Longoria, actor and recording artist Selena Gomez, five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love, Oscar-nominated actor Taraji P. Henson, and Olympian Michael Phelps.
Bocelli, a world-renowned tenor, has amassed nine top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including Si, which debuted at No. 1 in November 2018. Five of his albums have logged a full year or more on Billboard’s flagship album chart: Romanza (91 weeks), Sogno (72), Aria – The Opera Album (69), Amore (59) and My Christmas (52).
Bocelli’s only hit on the Billboard Hot 100 was a 2010 collaboration with Mary J. Blige – a remake of Simon & Garfunkel’s 1970 classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
Surprisingly, Bocelli has yet to win a Grammy, despite five nominations.

“Domestic violence is a very close, personal issue to me as I reflect on my past as a prosecutor of these types of cases, and in my role as a mother and public figure whose actions inform and help shape the next generation,” Hostin said in a statement. “This issue is a prevalent epidemic which knows no socio-economic boundaries, so I am dedicated to expanding and continuing this crucial conversation. The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
