Billboard The 100 best songs in the world. Billboard 200 albums chart, no other artist has seriously challenged Taylor Swift’s dominance, but five other artists have joined her in the top 10.

TOP SONGS:

We seem to be getting into a summer rhythm on the Billboard 100, with the same four artists rotating in the top five spots from week to week.

“I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen only briefly fell from its No. 1 spot. After briefly giving way to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” and spending a week at No. 2, “I Had Some Help” is back at the top, making it the longest-running No. 1 song of 2024.

Behind them: Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in second place, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in third place and Sabrina Carpenter in fourth and fifth place with her double-shot duo of “Espresso” and the aforementioned “Please Please Please”, which plummeted quite steeply from first to fifth place in the second week.

TOP ALBUMS:

Filed under “not really new”: Taylor Swift’s album The “Tortured Poets” section still in first place in the Billboard In the 200 albums charts for the tenth time in a row. (Boring, I know, sorry.)

Filed under “this is actually news”: For the first time this decade, when Billboardnotes that female artists make up the majority of Billboard 200’s top 10 spots. Just behind Swift is the breathy singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams’ The secret of usand debuted at #2. (Did you know she is the daughter of film director and TV showrunner JJ Abrams? I didn’t!)

The rest of this female-dominated cast: Billie Eilish’s Hit me hard and soft has slipped to number 4 this week; the quirky new pop king Chappell Roan’s The rise and fall of a Midwestern princess continues its steady rise and jumps two places to 6th place. (Roan’s song “Good Luck, Babe!”, which doesn’t even appear on the album, also makes it onto the Billboard 100, landed at number 11 this week.) Also part of this superwoman crew: Ariana Grande’s Forget it! has jumped back to number 8 from number 23 last week (due to a new signed edition for sale), while Charlie XCX holds number 9 with her album brat.

Meanwhile: Morgan Wallen and his album One after the otherwhich has now been in the album charts for 69 weeks, moves up one place to number 3, while his Dangerous: The double album has climbed back from position 10 to position 7. The top 10 is rounded off (with the exception of one entry, which I will discuss in more detail below): Shaboozeys Where I was is not where I am going.

WORTHLESS:

The other album in Billboard In the top 5 of 200 this week is the 25-year-old Mexican singer Peso Pluma and his album Exodo (Exodus), which debuts at number 5 on the charts this week. This is actually not the first time that Peso Pluma has reached the high peaks of Billboard 200; his album from 2023 genesis reached third place last July.

Peso Plumas Narcotics Corridor His lyrics led to his music being banned in numerous Mexican cities, but these days he obviously has a much broader horizon in mind: Exodo features collaborations with artists such as Cardi B, Quavo, DJ Snake and Brazilian singer Anitta, who recently performed with Madonna at the final performance of her world tour on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.
