USA Top 40, 7.30.22: Lizzo surges past Harry Styles into top spot

It had to happen eventually.

After Harry Styles held the Top 40 in a headlock for 13 weeks, Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” lives up to its name and knocked Styles and his “As It Was” from the top spot. Lizzo’s second No. 1 single (after 2019’s “Truth Hurts”) had spent the previous eight weeks in the Top 5 and the last two weeks at No. 2. Jack Harlow’s “First Class” continues to be denied the No. 1 spot, as he remains locked at No. 3. Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” and Beyonce’s “Break My Soul” are once again No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

Here is the updated chart for the week of July 30, 2022. Each song is linked to its official video on YouTube, where possible. To listen to the full playlist of these songs, visit our page on Spotify.
