Foo Fighters Enjoy A Special Comeback Thanks To An Unexpected No. 1 Hit
Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits returns to multiple Billboard charts following the success of the band's ... More new single 'Today's Song,' which is not included on the compilation. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 19: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Musician Dave Grohl, founding member of Nirvana and The Foo Fighters, performs onstage as a special guest with the Los Angeles Philharmonic during weekend 2, day 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 19, 2025 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Sometimes when a musical act releases a new song, fans focus on just that one release. In other instances, attention paid to one cut generates interest in the band's entire catalog. This phenomenon has become much more pronounced in the streaming era, as it's easier than ever for people to consume one artist's music – any or all of it – with just a few clicks. Foo Fighters are the latest musical stars to see older works surge thanks to the arrival of an exciting new single. Greatest Hits Returns to the Charts In early July, Foo Fighters released "Today's Song," a somewhat surprising single that, so far, doesn't have a home on any album. The track has been living on several Billboard charts for three weeks now, and its arrival and continued ascent across a number of rankings has brought the band's Greatest Hits compilation back in a big way. This week, Greatest Hits appears on three Billboard tallies after being absent from all of them just days ago. The singles-packed project reenters the Top Hard Rock Albums tally at No. 13, while also landing on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster at No. 48. Foo Fighters return to the Billboard 200, albeit barely, as Greatest Hits breaks back in at No. 198. The compilation coincidentally sits one rung below another simply-titled Greatest Hits collection by Blink-182. Foo Fighters' set moved just under 8,800 equivalent units in the past tracking frame, according to Luminate. Almost all of those units came from streaming activity, as the project sold fewer than 400 copies. Foo Fighters' New Single's Unlikely Impact It's worth mentioning that "Today's Song" is not featured on Greatest Hits, so sales and streams of the track don't directly benefit the compilation. Instead, all the excitement surrounding the brand new tune appears to be reminding American audiences just how much they love the band. In turn, large numbers of listeners are heading to streaming platforms to press play on the many smashes that made Foo Fighters chart-toppers in the first place, which pushes the album's figure higher and higher. Hundreds of Weeks on the Charts Greatest Hits has already spent hundreds of weeks on each of the tallies it appears on this frame. While it has risen into the highest reaches of two genre-specific albums rankings — at one point dominating the Top Hard Rock Albums list — the collection never broke into the top 10 on the Billboard 200, instead peaking at No. 11. Since the band released the set in 2009, Greatest Hits has fallen away from these charts and returned multiple times. It seems something as simple as dropping a new single can be enough to push it back onto various lists. "Today's Song" is an Airplay Winner "Today's Song" currently lives on half a dozen tallies. While it slips on two general consumption rankings, the Foo Fighters cut manages to climb on several others. The single reaches No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay list, earning the band its twelfth leader. At the same time, it breaks into the top 10 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay roster, bolting from No. 24 to No. 10. The tune also reaches that region on the Alternative Airplay list, soaring to No. 6. Foo Fighters debut "Today's Song" at No. 32 on the Adult Alternative Airplay list, where the tune is just getting started.

Rosé's Recent Global Hit Returns To The Charts
Blackpink's Rosé returns to Billboard's global charts with "Messy" as the F1 soundtrack tune joins ... More both "Apt." with Bruno Mars and "On My Mind" with Alex Warren. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Rosé attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) Just as promotion for her debut solo album Rosie was dying down, Rosé returned with a new single. The Blackpink superstar joined the F1 soundtrack, which is packed with familiar musicians across a variety of genres. Her tune "Messy" was shared as the second official single from the album, and it arrived in early May, nearly two months before the film and its accompanying album dropped. Interest in all things F1 remains high and as the film heads toward proper blockbuster status, "Messy" returns to several Billboard charts at the same time. 'Messy' Drives Back Onto Several Charts 'Messy' reappears on both the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Billboard Global 200 this week. Rosé's tune reenters the former at No. 143 and the latter at No. 184. The Billboard Global 200 ranks the 200 most consumed tracks throughout the world, while the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. does exactly the same, except all consumption from American listeners is not factored in when the ranking is compiled each week. Rosé's F1 Single on Billboard's Worldwide Lists "Messy" was a bigger hit on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. when compared to the Billboard Global 200, but not by much. Rosé's F1 track peaked at No. 25 on the former tally and No. 34 on the all-encompassing list. As it reappears, "Messy" reaches its fourth week on the two rankings. 'Messy' Joins 'Apt.' and 'On My Mind' Rosé fills three spaces on both worldwide rankings this week as "Messy" mounts its comeback. "Apt.," her collaboration with Bruno Mars, continues to live inside the top 10 as it holds at No. 4 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and rises to No. 5 on the Billboard Global 200. Rosé's collaboration with Alex Warren, titled "On My Mind," debuted inside the upper half of both rankings last week. This time around, the duet drops dramatically. "On My Mind" falls from No. 57 to No. 130 on the Billboard Global 200, and it dips even further on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., slipping almost 100 spaces as it steps back from No. 79 to No. 167.

Bruce Springsteen's Classic Reaches A New Billboard Chart Peak
Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." jumps to No. 15 on Billboard's Rock Streaming Songs chart ... More following the Fourth of July, hitting a new all-time peak. Bruce Springsteen, circa 1984 (Photo by SGranitz/WireImage) Every year, around the Fourth of July, millions of Americans head to streaming platforms to listen to patriotic tunes — or at least songs they believe to be patriotic. Any famous cut featuring phrases like "Fourth of July" or words such as "America," "American," or "U.S.A." typically experience notable surges in consumption. One annual favorite is "Born in the U.S.A." by none other than Bruce Springsteen. Following another of America's birthdays, the track returns to multiple charts in the United States, and it even manages to hit a new all-time high on one list. "Born in the U.S.A." Hits a New High "Born in the U.S.A." resurfaces on three Billboard tallies, as it both sold and streamed well enough to appear on several different rankings. The Springsteen classic excitedly reappears on the Rock Streaming Songs chart at No. 15, earning just its fourth stay on the list of the most played rock tunes on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and more. As it returns, the cut reaches a new all-time high. "Born in the U.S.A." Returns to Multiple Tallies "Born in the U.S.A." also lands on both the Rock Digital Song Sales and the Digital Song Sales charts. The former looks only at rock compositions, while the latter is genre-agnostic. Luminate reports that during the most recent tracking period, Springsteen's smash sold 1,500 copies — an increase of nearly 100% from the frame before. That gain was clearly fueled by the Fourth of July holiday. This week, "Born in the U.S.A." reenters the Rock Digital Song Sales tally at No. 4, just two spots below its peak position of No. 2. At the same time, it narrowly secures a spot on the Digital Song Sales list, landing at No. 25, the lowest space on that 25-title roster. Bruce Springsteen's Lowest-Peaking Hit While "Born in the U.S.A." may reach a new peak on the Rock Streaming Songs tally, it still stands as Springsteen's lowest-rising tune on the ranking. Alongside the E Street Band, the superstar has only sent three tracks to the tally. Of those, only "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" has cracked the top 10, where it stalled at No. 7 at the end of this past holiday season. "Sandpaper," Springsteen's collaboration with Zach Bryan, debuted and peaked at No. 14 last July. Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits Album Climbs The renewed attention focused on "Born in the U.S.A." — along with Springsteen's general popularity — also help his Greatest Hits compilation. The set returns to three rosters: the Top Rock Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, and the Billboard 200. On those tallies, the set lands at Nos. 22, 27, and 107, respectively.

Benson Boone's Breakout Smash Returns To No. 1 — More Than A Year After Its Release
Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things' returns to No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for a twelfth ... More nonconsecutive week as it reaches 70 weeks on the tally. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: Benson Boone attends the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show during September 2024 New York Fashion Week on September 08, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by) Benson Boone has spent 2025 promoting his new album American Heart, which debuted on the Billboard charts just a few weeks ago. The Grammy-nominated singer pushed several tunes from the project before it arrived in full, and he's still trying to turn tracks like 'Mystical Magical' and 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' into bigger and bigger smashes. As fans across the country continue to discover and fall in love with his most recent cuts, 'Beautiful Things,' the track that launched Boone to stardom, is not only still present on the Billboard charts – it lives at No. 1 on a radio ranking yet again. 'Beautiful Things' Hits No. 1 Again 'Beautiful Things' dominates the Adult Contemporary chart this week. The track lifts from second place to the summit, trading spots with another long-standing smash, 'Lose Control' by Teddy Swims, which dips to the runner-up position. Boone's breakout hit has now led the tally of the most successful compositions at adult contemporary radio stations across the United States for an even 12 nonconsecutive weeks. 70 Weeks on the Chart The Adult Contemporary ranking is known to move more slowly than most of Billboard's lists – especially those focused on pop radio – but the fact that 'Beautiful Things' is still ruling is rather incredible. This time around, as it jumps back to first place, Boone's standout single reaches 70 weeks on the tally. It's incredibly rare for any tune to rack up 70 frames on an airplay list, and it's nearly unheard of for one to continue leading the charge after so much time has passed. Where Else 'Beautiful Things' Appears 'Beautiful Things' can be found on just one other airplay roster in the U.S., as it dips from No. 12 to No. 14 on the Radio Songs chart, 71 weeks into its lifetime. Boone's cut is also still present inside the top 20 on both the Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs tallies. Its success across all three of those consumption metrics helps it appear just below the Hot 100's top 10, 75 frames into its lifetime on that ranking. 'Beautiful Things' currently sits at No. 11 and could climb back into the top 10 at any point, especially during a less-than-busy period. Benson Boone's Other Hit Singles Boone's tune 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' also appears on the Adult Contemporary chart, though it's not performing nearly as well as its predecessor. The lead single from American Heart holds at No. 13, its all-time peak, while keeping at its best showing on both the Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay lists at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Follow-up single 'Mystical Magical' reaches a new high on both the Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay rankings at the same time, jumping to Nos. 20 and 23, respectively.

Beyoncé Returns To America And Her Album Soars
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter rebounds on three Billboard charts as her tour returns to the U.S., with ... More 'Tyrant' also reentering the Hot R&B Songs chart at No. 11. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 20: (Exclusive Coverage) (Editorial Use Only) Beyoncé celebrates the launch of her hair care line, CÉCRED, with an intimate gathering at The Revery LA on February 20, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Julian Dakdouk/Parkwood Media/WireImage via Parkwood ) Beyoncé spent much of June in Europe, performing to massive crowds on her Cowboy Carter Tour. The superstar played half a dozen dates in London before heading to Paris for three nights. As the month came to a close, she then returned to the United States and headed to her hometown of Houston, where she once again delivered show-stopping performances — this time to what may have been her most rapturous audience yet. As Beyoncé makes her way back to America, Cowboy Carter gallops up the Billboard charts, which is a phenomenon that seems to occur whenever she travels to seemingly any nation. Beyoncé's Album Lifts Across Several Billboard Charts Cowboy Carter can currently be found on three Billboard rankings, all of which track total consumption, blending both sales and streaming activity. The full-length rises highest on the Top Americana/Folk Albums list, where it returns to the top 10, ascending from No. 12 to No. 9. The same project finds its way back to the top 20 on the Top Country Albums list, jumping from No. 28 to No. 20. The greatest lift for Cowboy Carter comes on the Billboard 200, where it shoots from No. 145 to No. 89 — just one week after celebrating its first full year on the ranking of the most consumed albums and EPs in the nation. Cowboy Carter Grew By 27% Consumption of Cowboy Carter grew considerably as Beyoncé's tour returned to American soil. Luminate reports that during the past tracking period, the full-length moved 12,700 equivalent units. That's up nearly 27% from the previous frame, when it shifted just 10,000. Included in that sum are 1,100 pure purchases — a very healthy figure for a collection that has already been out for a year. Beyoncé and Dolly Parton Chart Together One track from Cowboy Carter also finds its way back to a Billboard tally. Somewhat surprisingly, it's not one of the singles officially pushed from the full-length. Instead, 'Tyrant,' Beyoncé's collaboration with country star Dolly Parton, reappears not on any country ranking, but the Hot R&B Songs chart. The two legends nearly land inside the top 10, as their duet reenters at No. 11 after previously peaking at No. 5.
