It only took Olivia Rodrigo eight weeks to take over the No. 1 spot with “good 4 u,” but four weeks later it seems like it might take longer than that for anyone else to overtake her. Rodrigo’s latest No. 1 rates a 98 percent in our algorithm and is almost 6 percent ahead of No. 2, Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” and almost 13 percent ahead of the rest of the Top 5: “Stay” by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber (No. 3), “Montero (Call Me By Your Name” by Lil Nas X (No. 4) and “Bad Habits” by Ed Sheeran (No. 5).
Meanwhile, Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” dropped out of the Top 5 for the first time since May 29, and “Astronaut in the Ocean” by Masked Wolf left the Top 20 for the first time since April 10. This week’s other trends include:
