Lady Gaga is in complete control of one Billboard chart this week – just as was the case last frame. The pop superstar replaces herself at No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, a fairly uncommon move that shows just how popular she still is in the genre, even well after a decade has passed since she first made noise in that space.
Last frame, Gaga debuted a brand new cut in the top spot. This week, that track slides to make room for another from her catalog, one that's already proved itself to be a fan favorite.
This week, Gaga's 'Abracadabra' bolts from No. 4 to No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. The track originally ruled the ranking earlier this year, and now it's back on top.
'Abracadabra' is the latest official single from Mayhem, Gaga's current full-length. The tune has spent five out of its seven weeks on the chart in first place, and it may very well add to that figure in the coming frames.
Just last week, Gaga launched 'Vanish Into You' at No. 1 on the same tally. The tune was an instant bestseller, even though it hasn't been promoted as a single from Mayhem. Instead, fans simply gravitated toward the track and purchased it in large enough numbers to send it to the top.
Before 'Vanish Into You' arrived, 'Abracadabra' was already ruling the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. It had just scored its fourth week in the top spot, when the singer-songwriter traded one champion for another.
Over the course of her career, Gaga has collected eight No. 1 hits on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. That total includes both 'Vanish Into You' and 'Abracadabra,' which are now the top performers from Mayhem on this list. Interestingly, 'Disease,' the project's lead single, never managed to appear on the ranking in any capacity.
Gaga's previous leaders on the tally include 'Stupid Love,' 'Judas,' 'Applause,' 'Rain On Me' with Ariana Grande, 'Telephone' with Beyoncé, and her iconic smash 'Bad Romance.'
Last week was especially busy for Gaga on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. In addition to 'Vanish Into You' opening at No. 1, she filled half of the entire top 10. That showing included five debuts: 'Shadow of a Man' landed at No. 3, 'Garden of Eden' at No. 6, her collaboration 'Killah' with Gesaffelstein at No. 8 and 'Love Drug' started at No. 9.

Hozier's Historic Smash Has Finally Been Replaced At No. 1

Hozier started his career by releasing one of the biggest rock hits in recent memory. 'Take Me to Church' launched him into superstardom all around the world, and then for many years, it seemed as if it would remain his only major global smash. In 2024, the Irish singer-songwriter returned with 'Too Sweet,' which brought him back to charts globally and even helped him rise to new heights on several Billboard rankings. After a historic run on one of the company's rock rankings, 'Too Sweet' finally steps back, as Hozier is replaced by one of the hottest newcomers in music. Sombr Jumps to No. 1 Sombr leads the Hot Rock Songs chart, Billboard's list of the most consumed rock tracks in the United States. His single 'Undressed' surges from the runner-up spot to No. 1 in its twentieth frame on the tally. 'Undressed' Replaces 'Too Sweet' at No. 1 'Undressed' replaces 'Too Sweet' atop the Hot Rock Songs chart. Hozier's smash has now spent 72 frames on the genre-specific ranking — 70 of which have been in first place. That's a historic run on any Billboard roster, and even if the tune never returns, Hozier will likely forever claim one of the longest-running rock No. 1s of all time. Hozier's Smash Lives Inside the Top 10 'Too Sweet' remains a top 10 hit on five different Billboard charts at the moment, even 72 frames into its lifespan on each and every one of them. The track sits highest on the Hot Rock Songs list and also appears on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Alternative Streaming Songs, and Rock Streaming Songs charts, coming in at No. 4 on the first two rosters and Nos. 8 and 10 on the latter two, respectively. Sombr Scores the Two Biggest Rock Hits Sombr has a lot to celebrate when it comes to the Hot Rock Songs chart. Not only does 'Undressed' become a No. 1, but 'Back to Friends' follows closely, as it improves from No. 3 to second place, meaning he controls the highest two spaces on the same tally. Amazingly, of the 25 spaces on the Hot Rock Songs list, Sombr fills four. In addition to his top 10s, new single '12 to 12' leaps from No. 16 to No. 13 in its second frame on the ranking, while 'We Never Dated' reenters at No. 25.

Bob Marley, Ozzy Osbourne Score Bestsellers Together

It's a relatively quiet period on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling full-lengths and EPs throughout the United States. The tally differs from the Billboard 200, which ranks titles based on total consumption, and not solely pure purchases. As is often the case, the highest reaches of the Top Album Sales roster are filled with new releases. But there are currently more comebacks on the roster than debuts, as several superstars and some of the bestselling full-lengths of all time find their way back to the competitive list. Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Marley and Taylor Swift Return Together 12 projects return to the Top Album Sales chart this week. The ranking only features 50 spots, so that means almost one-quarter of all rungs are filled by sets that have already spent time on the list. In some cases, the comebacks have only racked up a few stays, while others have lived on the tally for years. Here's a rundown of all of the titles that make their way back to the Top Album Sales chart this week: Renee Rapp, $uicideboy$ and Yeat Debut Only seven projects land on the Top Album Sales chart for the first time. The list is led by Reneé Rapp's sophomore full-length Bite Me, which earns the singer and actress her first leader as it opens at No. 1. Also new to the top 10 are Thy Kingdom Come by $uicideboy$ at No. 2, Dangerous Summer by Yeat at No. 3 and Live at the Legion by Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton at No. 7. Three other titles by Buddy Guy, Roger Waters, and Fit for a King also launch on the purchase-only roster in what has turned out to be something of an odd frame when it comes to sales in America.

Black Sabbath's Career-Defining Album Returns And Soars

For the past few weeks, Black Sabbath's catalog has been surging in popularity following the passing of frontman Ozzy Osbourne. Eventually, after any massive uptick comes a decline, and both Black Sabbath's and Osbourne's music is largely falling on Billboard's weekly rankings. Even so, one of Black Sabbath's most famous collections manages to gain a bit of ground and even return to one list, as Americans aren't done honoring the late rocker's legacy. Black Sabbath's Biggest Album Reappears Paranoid can be found on six Billboard charts this week. The full-length, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest in heavy metal history and certainly Black Sabbath's most famous, reappears on the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 20. Throughout the years, Paranoid has only spent a month on the roster, and while it's never cracked the top 10, it has come close to doing so, as it once stalled at No. 11. Paranoid Climbs on Billboard's Sales Chart The same full-length improves its standing on just one Billboard roster, as Paranoid lifts from No. 39 to No. 32 on the Top Album Sales chart. Interestingly, while the bestseller rises, purchases are actually down. Luminate reports that from one tracking period to the next, Paranoid saw its sales decline by less than 1%, and it managed to sell just under 3,000 copies in the U.S. Such a decline is not unexpected, though it is notable that thanks to a lack of competition, Black Sabbath's famous project was still able to ascend. Paranoid Grows by 35% Paranoid lives on for additional Billboard rankings, and it falls on all of them. The title manages the least dramatic slip on the Top Hard Rock Albums ranking, stepping back from the runner-up spot to No. 5. It also backtracks outside the top 10 on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums lists, where it now appears at Nos. 17 and 20, respectively. Total consumption of Paranoid fell by almost 35% week-over-week. That leads Black Sabbath's decades-old effort to backtrack on the Billboard 200 from No. 27 to No. 90 — its greatest decline. 'Paranoid' and 'War Pigs/Luke's Wall' Black Sabbath sees four singles appear on at least one Billboard tally at the moment, and 'Paranoid' remains its biggest winner, even though it's falling on almost every one of the eight rosters on which it appears. A handful of tunes manage to hold steady on one or two lists apiece, while one track, 'War Pigs/Luke's Wall,' even climbs on the Hot Hard Rock Songs roster. That double song improves from No. 6 to No. 5, reaching a new all-time high as almost everything in the group's catalog descends.
