Billie Eilish Makes History — Again — As She Holds At No. 1 with 'Birds of a Feather'
Billie Eilish is still on top of the rock world. The Grammy-winning singer claims the most popular track in the genre again in the U.S. this week, holding atop one important tally with 'Birds of a Feather.' The cut has ruled over Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for months, and with each additional frame it spends at No. 1, it continues to make history. This time around, it breaks out of a tie with another longstanding win and inches closer to forming another. Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' is once again in charge of the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The cut has now spent 36 turns inside the penthouse, which is one of the longest reigns of all time. Last week, the track was in a deadlock with 24KGoldn and Iann Dior's 'Mood,' which also spent 35 frames at No. 1. Now, Eilish has officially pulled ahead. At this point, it's hard to imagine anything knocking 'Birds of a Feather' from the top spot, at least not anytime soon. The track continues to be consumed in huge numbers throughout America, and if it manages to repeat at No. 1 next frame — which seems likely — it will match another giant. 'Heat Waves' by Glass Animals ruled the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for 37 weeks. Eilish will likely tie that song in just a few days, and then, perhaps, pass it. Eilish is inching ever closer to the top spot on this historic ranking, but there's still quite a gap before she can claim the all-time record. That honor still belongs to Panic! at the Disco, whose smash 'High Hopes' sat at No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for a staggering 65 weeks. That showing still seems untouchable, even for 'Birds of a Feather.' Even as it nears its one-year anniversary, 'Birds of a Feather' shows no signs of slowing down. This week, it only barely falls out of the top 10 on the Hot 100, slipping one spot to No. 11. The cut also ranks inside the top 10 on all three of Billboard's pop-focused airplay charts. On the rock side of things, it's still the No. 1 song on both the Hot Alternative Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs lists.

Kendrick Lamar & SZA's ‘Luther' tops the Billboard charts for 7th week in a row, which is…so amazing
The Luther Vandross-sampling single from Kendrick Lamar's 'GNX' album is his sixth #1 song and the third chart-topper for SZA. Kendrick Lamar's reign on the top of the hip-hop world continues for, yet, another week, as his hit single 'Luther,' featuring his tourmate SZA on their upcoming 'Grand National' tour, leads the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the seventh consecutive week. The record samples Luther Vandross' vocals from his 1982 cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's recording, 'If This World Were Mine'—Vandross' version features Cheryl Lynn. The single represents Lamar's sixth time at the top of the charts and follows the success of arguably 2024's biggest record, 'Not Like Us.' For SZA, whose album 'S.O.S.' seems to live on the Billboard album charts, 'Luther' represents her third time at the top of the songs chart. Along with leading the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, the single also leads the Radio Songs chart and doesn't seem to be on the road to letting up anytime soon. In another interesting nod for Lamar and the various accolades his catalog has racked up, 'Luther' is now the longest running rap song to top the Billboard Hot 100 charts since 2021 when 24KGoldn's song 'Mood' led the charts for eight weeks. 'Luther' has another month to go to break the record for the 2020s which currently stands at 11 weeks for Roddy Ricch's song 'The Box.' Because no discussion of Kendrick Lamar at this point is complete without a quick discussion of Drake and his current spot on the charts, his current single 'Nokia' sits at the #3 slot on the same Hot 100 chart, but has everybody saying 'Baby girl' so it's really a win for everybody. 'Luther' is currently one of six records Lamar has on the Hot 100 charts, including: 'Not Like Us,' 'TV Off,' '30 for 30' featuring SZA,' 'Squabble Up' and 'Peekaboo.'
