While it only reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a single week, its longevity helped it become 2024's top-charting single in the US, and last week it broke the record for time spent on America's premier song-consumption chart when it notched week No. 92.

The success of 'Lose Control,' which appeared on the first half of the 'Therapy' diptych, has slightly overshadowed the strength of Swims' catalog. Part two of 'Therapy,' which came out in January, places his yawp right at its center in appealing ways; on Friday he opened with its opening track, the storming hybrid of Southern and modern rock 'Not Your Man,' then followed it up with the swaggering yet heartbroken 'Hammer to the Heart.'

Backed by a top-notch band whose musical prowess earned each member a solo, Swims tore through much of his recent catalog, letting the genre-spanning catharsis offered by songs like the shimmering '00s country throwback 'Guilty' and the tormented 'Bad Dreams' flow over and through the crowd.
Friday night's show didn't feel as much like a victory lap as it did a gratitude tour. Swims' sweet between-song banter gave the impression that he was still in awe of his recent fortunes; he promised selfies and autographs to those audience members closest to the stage, and he dedicated 'All That Really Matters,' his 2022 collab with the EDM DJ Illennium, to the assembled.
'Lose Control' closed out his main set, and as pyrotechnics went off and the crowd howled along with its battle-cry chorus, Swims took it all in before leading them in it one last time.

Drake's Historic Hot 100 Record Has Been Matched — Again
Morgan Wallen ties Drake as his I'm the Problem album has now produced nine Hot 100 top 10 hits, ... More matching Certified Lover Boy — while both. stars trail Taylor Swift. TORONTO, CANADA - JANUARY 13: Rapper Drake leaves the court following the NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors at Scotiabank Arena on January 13, 2025 in Toronto, Canada. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) Drake is, in many respects, the most successful artist ever when it comes to the Hot 100. The Canadian rapper has charted hundreds of songs on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed tracks in America, and though he doesn't claim every record, his legacy is secure. One of Drake's most impressive Hot 100 showings is matched this week — not by another rapper or even a pop superstar — but by the biggest name in country music to emerge in quite some time. Morgan Wallen's new album I'm the Problem debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the largest opening sum of 2025. Several tracks from the project reach the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time, with several opening in that space and others surging. Wallen is joined by Tate McRae at No. 1 with "What I Want," which debuts in the highest space. The brand new tune "I Got Better" opens at No. 7. At the same time, "Superman," which was released earlier in May as a promotional cut, breaks into the loftiest tier for the first time. The track originally kicked off its time at No. 16 but now rockets to No. 8 in its second stay on the tally. As "What I Want" and "I Got Better" debut inside the top 10 and "Superman" reaches No. 8, Wallen's I'm the Problem has now produced nine top 10 hits on the Hot 100. His full-length is just the fourth in history to score that many smashes, and Wallen is now tied with Drake at this figure. Drake's Certified Lover Boy also produced nine top 10 successes on the Hot 100 when it was brand new. He managed the feat in September 2021 when he occupied all but one slot inside the uppermost region on the ranking. Only one musician has conquered the entirety of the top 10 in one fell swoop — and she's managed to do so twice. Taylor Swift became the first artist to accomplish the incredible showing with her album Midnights, which sent its brand new cuts into the highest region. She repeated that showing and even expanded her reach to dominate the entire 14 highest spaces at one time with 2024's The Tortured Poets Department.

Morgan Wallen Matches Justin Bieber And Jay-Z
Morgan Wallen scores 29 new Hot 100 hits thanks to his I'm the Problem album, tying Jay-Z and Justin ... More Bieber at 105 total entries in the process.

The show airs on November 19, 2023 on (Photo by Christopher Polk/Penske Media via Getty Images) Morgan Wallen is the king of the Hot 100 this week — and not just because he sits at No. 1. The superstar and Tate McRae debut their collaboration "What I Want" in first place, and the country superstar sends dozens of tracks from his latest album, I'm the Problem, to the tally. As a deluge of cuts from I'm the Problem reach the Hot 100, Wallen adds significantly to his career total of placements, passing an important milestone and tying with two of the most successful musicians of the past several decades. All 29 new appearances on the Hot 100 are taken from I'm the Problem. As those two dozen-plus tracks arrive, the singer-songwriter increases his career total to 105 placements on the roster, according to Billboard. With exactly 105 Hot 100 wins to his credit, Wallen is now tied with Justin Bieber and Jay-Z, who have also accrued just as many. Both of those artists had quite the head start and spent well over a decade accruing smashes before Wallen's career really took off. Neither has been particularly focused on music lately, so their sums haven't increased significantly in recent years. Thanks to I'm the Problem, Wallen has now snagged four No. 1 hits. Two of them — "Love Somebody" and the brand new "What I Want" with McRae — opened in first place. He also reached the summit with his solo hit "Last Night" taken from his previous album One Thing at a Time, and "I Had Some Help," his collaboration with Post Malone. In total, Wallen has landed 17 top 10 smashes, including nine from his latest full-length. The record for the most Hot 100 hits is still owned by Drake, and it may always be. He is up to 358 placements on the tally, nearly 100 more than the runner-up, Taylor Swift, who claims 264. Also included in this exclusive club, which now features 21 artists, are names like Future, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and Eminem.
