Selena Gomez's Smashes Dance Back Onto The Charts, Joining Her New Top 10
Selena Gomez returns to the U.K. charts with a top 10 debut for 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' and ... More comebacks for 'Bad Liar' and 'Fetish' on the physical singles tally.

(Photo byfor Rare Beauty) Selena Gomez has a new hit in the United Kingdom this week, but it's not only her debuting tune that's making notable moves this time around. While one cut finds immediate success, two older tracks resurface on the same chart, which shows that the pop singer's fans are not only embracing her just-dropped material — they're also still rushing to own a few favorites from years past. Two of Gomez's most beloved pop songs are back on the Official Physical Singles chart this week. That list, which focuses exclusively on the bestselling physical tracks — think CDs, vinyl, and other collectible formats — is playing host to a minor Gomez resurgence at the moment. The clear winner among the returns is 'Bad Liar,' which reenters inside the top 40, landing at No. 33. Joining that tune on the tally is 'Fetish,' her slinky collaboration with Gucci Mane. That track doesn't rebound quite as high, but it still manages to make its way back onto the tally at No. 65. Although they're separated by more than 30 spots on the latest frame of the Official Physical Singles chart, 'Bad Liar' and 'Fetish' have almost identical histories on the ranking. This latest frame marks 'Bad Liar's' tenth week on the list. Meanwhile, 'Fetish' edges it out ever so slightly, having now spent 11 turns in total somewhere on the roster. When it comes to peak positions, however, 'Bad Liar' holds the advantage. The tune previously climbed all the way to No. 5. 'Fetish' never rose quite as high, stalling two rungs beneath its counterpart's peak. While her past singles are enjoying another moment on the ranking, Gomez also has something brand new to celebrate. The singer's latest offering, 'Younger and Hotter Than Me,' a collaboration with her fiancé Benny Blanco, opens at No. 4 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts. The track appears on the duo's recently-released collaborative album I Said I Love You First, which has already delivered multiple hits. Gomez is particularly busy on the Official Physical Singles chart this frame, as she manages to place a fourth title on the tally. 'Sunset Blvd,' another team-up with Blanco, slips slightly from its debut position of No. 9 to No. 12. On the Official Vinyl Singles list, 'Sunset Blvd' mirrors that dip almost exactly, sliding from No. 9 to No. 11. As 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' launches and 'Bad Liar' and 'Fetish' reappear, one more Gomez-Blanco collaboration is quietly gaining ground. 'Bluest Flame,' another selection from I Said I Love You First, improves its standing on the Official Singles chart — the most competitive and important songs ranking in the U.K. Last week, 'Bluest Flame' arrived at No. 55. This time around, it climbs to No. 47, making forward progress even as the album that houses it begins to fade in popularity.

Selena Gomez's New Top 10 Hit Isn't Even A Single Yet

(Photo by Michael Buckner/Billboard via Getty Images) The past few weeks have been massive for Selena Gomez. The pop star recently dropped I Said I Love You, a collaborative full-length with her fiancé, producer Benny Blanco. While the project is beginning to slip from some charts and many of its tracks are starting to cool, the lovebirds aren't done landing wins just yet. This frame, the pair collect another top 10 hit on several tallies in the U.K. thanks to a special reissue. 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' has emerged as one of the breakout tracks from I Said I Love You, just a short time after the set arrived – though it hasn't been positioned as a single just yet. The track opens at No. 4 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts in the U.K. this week. The tune was issued on vinyl and other physical formats recently, which gave Gomez's loyal fans a chance to snap up a collectible. 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' is now another top 10 success for Gomez in the U.K., while Blanco continues to build his chart résumé as an artist after years as a songwriter and producer. He's still catching up to her, of course, as Gomez has spent more time in the spotlight and has released more music under her own name. With this latest win, she's now earned six top 10 hits on the Official Vinyl Singles chart. She maintains her perfect track record, every tune of hers that's appeared on the ranking has reached the top tier. Her history on the Official Physical Singles chart is almost as strong. Gomez has now secured seven top 10 placements on that tally, though not every release has made it that far. Two of her entries have missed the region. 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' earns the third-highest debut on both U.K. tallies it reaches this frame. The only new releases that start higher? Doechii's 'Denial Is a River' launches at No. 1, while Jacob Alon's 'Liquid Gold 25' arrives at No. 2. At the same time, Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe!' leaps back into the top 10 on both charts, landing at No. 3. 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' is not Gomez's only hit on the U.K. rankings this week, though it is her most exciting. She keeps a total of five songs on at least one of the nation's charts. Three of those are from I Said I Love You, as 'Bluest Flame' and 'Sunset Blvd' are both still performing fairly well. Rounding out Gomez's presence on the U.K. charts this frame are a pair of older fan favorites. 'Bad Liar' and 'Fetish,' her collaboration with Gucci Mane, both return to the Official Physical Singles chart.

Selena Gomez Reveals Her ‘Past Insecurities' Served as Inspiration
In a recent moment of vulnerability, Selena Gomez opened up about her 'past insecurities' being the inspiration behind her song 'Younger and Hotter Than Me.' With her and Benny Blanco's first-ever collaborative album topping charts, Gomez dived into the message behind the track in a recent interview with SiriusXM's Chris Olsen. The singer explained the meaning behind the relatable and nostalgic song, acknowledging that 'every girl, person, human being has felt insecure.' The title track itself opened with Gomez's footage from Disney's 'Wizards of Waverly Place' days, setting the stage for what came next. The emotional clip showed her thanking the cast and crew during the final days of the shooting, looking back at her younger self, and it only seemed natural that the subsequent song on the album seemed like a trip down memory lane. Selena Gomez had a lot to say about 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' and her 'past insecurities' in an emotional message. Her latest album, 'I Said I Love You First,' opens with a nostalgic video of her delivering a heartfelt message to the cast and crew of 'Wizards of Waverly Place,' which featured her in a lead role. The footage was from the final days of shooting and showed Gomez tearing up as she thanked those around her. She disclosed that she wasn't always sure about opening the album in such a 'vulnerable' way. 'Benny saw the video online, and it was the last day I was shooting Wizards,' Gomez explained, as it not only marked the beginning of her journey but also the end of one chapter. She explained how her fiancé, Benny Blanco, 'thought it would be sweep,' with the first song being 'a reflection of my past or insecurities.' The singer-actor claimed that the feeling of 'homecoming' to people's younger selves is exactly what they intended with that song. Selena Gomez elaborated how her 'past insecurities' were to thank for as 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' gave people a sense of 'nostalgia' about their younger selves. 'What the message was meant to be is that every girl, person, human being has felt insecure,' said Gomez, addressing how 'hard' the emotion is. She then spoke about feeling 'insecure sometimes' but not as much as when she was younger. 'There's always something shinier, there's always something better,' she said, claiming it's not what 'she should be thinking right now.'
