GLOBAL NO.1 - 40 YEARS AGO... "Hot Stuff" was released on April 13, 1979 as the lead single from Donna Summer's seventh studio album Bad Girls. Although Donna had previously been mainly been associated with disco songs, this release showed a significant rock direction, including a guitar solo by ex-Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan guitarist Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter. "Hot Stuff" won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in the inaugural year the award was given out. The song went to no.1 in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland.

Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, extends its record domination atop the Billboard Hot 100, topping the chart for a 19th week. Two weeks ago, "Road"

rewrote the mark for the most time atop the tally, as, with a 17th frame at No. 1, it bested "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, featuring Justin Bieber, and "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, which ruled for 16 weeks each, in 2017 and 1995-96, respectively. As on the Hot 100, "Road" (on Columbia Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a record-padding 19th week, with 58.8 million U.S. streams, down 13%, in the week ending Aug. 8, according to Nielsen Music. "Road" set the record for the top streaming week (143 million) following the April 5 arrival of its remix solely with Cyrus (who has been billed on 18 of the song's 19 weeks atop the Hot 100) and claims nine of the 11 biggest streaming frames to date, including the top three. "Road" concurrently spends a 15th week atop the Digital Song Sales chart, with 34,000 downloads sold, down 28%, in the week ending Aug. 8. The track boasts the second-most

weeks logged atop the list, trailing only "Despacito," which ruled for 17 weeks. On Radio Songs, where it reached No. 2, "Road" falls 17-21, down 11% to 38.5 million audience impressions in the week ending Aug. 11. Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" notches a ninth total week at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, as it rises 4-3 on Radio Songs (94.7 million, up 4%) and dips 2-4 on Streaming Songs (35.6 million, down 22%) and 5-7 on Digital Song Sales (18,000, down 11%). Below "Road" the entire time that it has ranked at No. 2 on the Hot 100, "Bad Guy" is (as of now) just the fifth non-No. 1 in the chart's history to peak at the runner-up spot for at least nine weeks, and is a week from potentially tying for the most time peaking at No. 2. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's "Senorita" stays at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 2 high on the chart dated July 6; Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" is steady at its No. 4 best; and Khalid's No. 3-peaking "Talk" keeps at No. 5, while leading Radio Songs for a ninth week (127.2 million, down 2%) and Hot R&B Songs for a 16th week. Drake achieves his ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his new archival compilation album, Care Package, premieres in the top slot. The set, which was released on Aug. 2 via OVO Sound/Republic Records, launches with 109,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 16,000 were in album sales. Drake extends his own record for the most No. 1 albums this decade, as all nine of his leaders have arrived since 2010. Care Package is also the first No. 1 album for OVO Sound, the label co-founded by Drake. All of Drake’s previous albums were released via Young Money/Cash Money/Republic. With Drake notching his ninth No. 1, he continues his remarkable run on the Billboard 200. He’s charted 11 entries on the list, and just two of them have missed the top slot. This March, his So Far Gone mixtape, which was originally released for free in early 2009 but never commercially issued or distributed to streaming services until earlier this year, peaked at No. 5 following its official release. Then, back in 2009, the So Far Gone EP — a distillation of the original So Far Gone mixtape — marked Drake’s first commercial album release and peaked at No. 6. Among artists with the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200, Drake is in legendary company. He’s tied with Garth Brooks, Eminem, Madonna and The Rolling Stones with nine each. Ahead of them: The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand (11), and Elvis Presley (10). Care Package’s first-week units totaled 109,000. Of that sum, 90,000 were via SEA units, equating to 115.5 million on-demand audio streams for its songs during the tracking week. The remainder of the album’s starting unit sum came from TEA units (3,000) and album sales (16,000). Notably, the latter figure comprised only sales via digital retailers like the Apple iTunes Store. Care Package did not have any merchandise/album bundles or a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer in play — as has become the norm for many No. 1 albums. (Care Package is only available commercially as a digital download. No physical release for the set, on CD or otherwise, has been announced.) At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Ed Sheeran’s former leader, No.6 Collaborations Project, rises one spot with 49,000 equivalent album units (down 16%). Billie Eilish’s previous chart-topper, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, also climbs one rung (4-3) with 47,000 units (up less than 1%). Lil Durk scores his first top 10 album, as Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 debuts at No. 4 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 4,000 were in album sales. The set’s entry was driven largely by streaming activity, with the album garnering 39,000 SEA units in its premiere frame (equaling 52.7 million on-demand audio streams for the set’s songs). The rapper has tallied five previous entries on the Billboard 200, going as high as No. 14 in 2015 with Remember My Name. Chris Brown’s former No. 1 Indigo holds steady at No. 5 with 37,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9%), while NF’s The Search dips from No. 1 to No. 6 in its second week, with 36,000 units (down 72%). The Descendants 3 soundtrack takes a bow at No. 7 with just under 36,000 equivalent album units earned (with 23,000 of that sum in album sales). The soundtrack to Descendants 3 was released on Aug. 2, the same day its parent film premiered on Disney Channel (which was also the first day of the chart’s tracking week). All three of the Descendants soundtracks have reached the top 10: the first debuted at No. 1 on the Aug. 22, 2015-dated list, while Descendants 2 debuted and peaked at No. 6 on Aug. 12, 2017. Two other franchises that started on Disney Channel that also nabbed at least three top 10-charting soundtracks: Hannah Montana (three TV soundtracks, plus a theatrical film soundtrack) and High School Musical (two TV soundtracks, one theatrical film soundtrack). Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You dips 7-8 on the new Billboard 200 (34,000 units; down 8%) while Chance the Rapper’s The Big Day falls 2-9 in its second week (33,000 units; down 70%). Closing out the top 10 is a re-entry for Tool’s Ænima at No. 10. The set – which debuted and peaked at No. 2 in 1996 – was released via digital retailers and streaming services for the first time on Aug. 2, along with most of the rock band’s catalog. The album bounds back onto the list with 33,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5,900%), of which 18,000 were in album sales.
