Morgan Wallen reclaims the summit with his biggest single yet, "Last Night," on the Billboard Hot 100. It is quite a history-setting feat for Wallen, who also rules the Billboard 200 charts with "One Thing At A Time."
Meanwhile, SZA's "Kill Bill" flourished to the top as the song was proven timeless in its chart rule.
Morgan Wallen Makes Country, Hot 100 Victory
According to Billboard's latest tracking week, "Last Night" by Morgan Wallen proved triumphant as it rebounded atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
The song was one of the 36 tracks from "One Thing At A Time" that charted in the first week of its release.
Luminate, the official data provider of Billboard, recorded that the song garnered 35.1 million streams, which declined by 2%, and over 29.7 million radio airplay impressions, a huge gain of 25%. Consequently, it sold 10,000 downloads last week.
Aside from the genre-blending singles charts, the song also topped the Streaming Songs Chart for five consecutive weeks, No. 21 on Radio Songs, No. 3 on Digital Song Sales, No. 17 on the Country Airplay charts, No. 21 on Pop Airplay, and No. 23 on Adult Pop Airplay.
Morgan Wallen Makes Billboard Chart History
For nine weeks, "Last Night" also ruled over the Hot Country Songs chart. Apparently, Morgan Wallen has become the first male act since Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night" in 42 years to have topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Song Charts concurrently.
"Last Night" also became the first hit since 1975 to top both charts for multiple weeks. The last one was Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" in that same year.
The other male artists who have topped both Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs were Charlie Rich, Bobby Goldsboro, Jimmy Dean, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Hortons, whose hit songs have charted from 1973, stemming all the way back to 1959.
SZA Dethrones Mary J Blige
On the other hand, SZA, whose "Kill Bill" returned to its all-time-high at No. 2 on the Hot 100 charts, remains undefeated on its concurrent rule at the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts.
It surpassed Queen of R&B Soul Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" as the song that charted 15 weeks in 2006. The "SOS" anthem is now the longest-running song by a woman in a lead role since the genre chart in 1958.
