USA Top 40, 8.6.22: Lizzo hold off Styles at No. 1 for 2nd week

Lizzo spent close to two months sitting behind Harry Styles in the Top 3. Now she’s firmly entrenched at No. 1 and looks to remain there for a while. Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” held off Styles for a second straight week, and no other single is within grenade range of reaching the top spot. Lizzo and Styles are either No. 1 or No. 2 in every index we track other than streaming, where they’re both in the Top 10. The remainder of this week’s Top 5 are Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” Jack Harlow’s “First Class” and Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song).”

Here is the updated chart for the week of August 6, 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.
