Morgan Wallen's Last Night remains at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 16th week, tying for the second most weeks on the list.

SZA's Snooze surges to the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her eighth top 10 hit. The song, co-written and co-produced by Babyface, brings him to the top 10 for the first time in over 20 years as a writer or producer on a new original song.
Travis Scott's Utopia Spends Two Weeks at Number One on Billboard 200
Travis Scott's Utopia becomes the first rap album in two years to spend its first two weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. The album remains at number one in its second week, although its album units experienced a significant decline compared to its debut week.
On her new song "bad idea right?," Olivia Rodrigo tries to talk herself out of a late-night reunion with her ex -- with "talk" being the operative word. The latest taste of Rodrigo's upcoming sophomore album GUTS (due Sept. 8) dropped last week, and the verses and chorus are almost exclusively spoken, with only a melodic pre-chorus sprinkled in. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking all about the new song and about past tunes that feature more talking than singing.
