Yay! Today is such a great week as Olivia Rodrigo returns and shakes the top 10 up!
10. It’s taking its final breaths now, it could be its last week.
9. Same goes to you, what a great summer we had last year!
8. Welcome back! Not gonna lie, it’s kind of odd to see Justin in the top 10 because Sabrina’s coachella set was much better. “Beauty and a Beat” missed the top 10 by an inch!
7. I don’t think it can claim that #1 anymore..
6.
5. Seems like it’s now past its peak!
4. Olivia Dean is no longer the superior Olivia in the top 10.. next week says otherwise.
3. It’s gaining in radio a lot, although I would love to see “Risk It All” re enter the top 10!
2. Even with the discount, it still wasn’t able to stay at #1!
1. That’s because Olivia takes it! Super glad to see Olivia Rodrigo taking the #1. I really like “drop dead”. It’s definitely a grower but it is a big ear worm. Now we get to sit back and relax as Olivia becomes the FIRST artist in history to debut all of their first 3 lead singles at #1 on the hot 100! Congratulations Olivia!
Also i’m sad to see “Stateside” go 🙁 it wasn’t its time yet considering there are 2 other songs that have been overstaying..

Congrats Olivia, now her fans dont bother Ella Langley, she just sing no need your drama for no 1

So bad that "Stateside" is gone of the top 10 🙁 , I really wanted to see this song at 1 but it was impossible. Anyway I hope Ordinary and Golden leave the top 10 asap.

Congratulations for Olivia Rodrigo, this week she's taking the spot with "Drop Dead" , I'm so glad that we have a new song at 1! And I'm so excited for her upcoming album!!!! I know it will have an impact in the charts.

Based on the early predictions, it looks like Ella Langley will return to #1 and have three simultaneous entries here next week. Noah Kahan might show up too as he’s expected to land three album tracks in the 11-15 region. Other than that, this could be the final time that we see ‘Golden’ in the Top 10.

Disappointed to see ‘Stateside’ go. The streams looked really promising for it, but it sadly ended up getting a radio push much later than it should have. Oh well, I’m just happy that PinkPantheress was able to get another major hit and that Zara Larsson reached the Top 10 for the first time ever.

Aside from a quiet week, I think people got mad about how "drop dead" got to #1
@piran1807 On April 28, 2026 at 12:16 am
With ‘Drop Dead’ taking the top spot, Olivia Rodrigo becomes the first artist in history to have their first three lead singles debut at #1. Huge congratulations to her! As for the song itself, I think it’s fantastic even if it took several listens to grow on me. Very excited for her upcoming album in June!
