GLOBAL NO.1 - 10 YEARS AGO... "California Gurls" is taken from Katy Perry's third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). The song features verses from rapper Snoop Dogg. According to Perry, the song is an answer song to "Empire State Of Mind" (2009), by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. "California Gurls" is a midtempo disco-pop and funk-pop song with influences of new wave and electropop, while its lyrics are an ode to the state of California, in which both Perry and Snoop Dogg were born and raised. "California Gurls" garnered positive reviews from music critics, with the majority of them labeling it a "summer anthem", as well as complimenting its production and chorus. The song was a worldwide success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks, giving Perry her second US number-one single and Snoop Dogg his third. The song reached number one in over 10 countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and topped Media Traffic's Global Year-End Chart 2010 with a total of 8,369,000 points.

Lil Baby’s My Turn tallies a fourth total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, tying The Weeknd’s After Hours for the most weeks atop the list for any album released in 2020.

My Turn earned 70,000 equivalent album units (down 3 percent) in the U.S. in the week ending June 25, according to Nielsen Music / MRC Data. The album (released via Quality Control / Motown / Capitol) has now strung together three consecutive frames at No. 1. It captured its first week at No. 1 when it bowed atop the chart dated March 14. Among albums released in 2020, My Turn is now tied with After Hours for the most weeks at No. 1, each with four. After Hours spent its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 (April 4-25). Special note goes to Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, as the late 2019 release logged one week at No. 1 on Dec. 21, 2019, then three weeks at No. 1 in 2020. At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Bob Dylan captures his highest charting album in more than a decade, as Rough and Rowdy Ways arrives with 53,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 51,000 are in album sales, 2,000 are in SEA units,

and a negligible figure are in TEA units. Dylan was last higher on the chart with 2009’s Together Through Life, which debuted and peaked at No. 1 on the May 16, 2009-dated chart. All told, Rough and Rowdy Ways marks Dylan’s 23rd top 10 album and 50th top 40 set. With Rough and Rowdy Ways’ debut, Dylan logs his seventh consecutive decade of charting top 40 albums. He captured eight in the 1960s, 14 in the ‘70s, seven in the ‘80s, four in the ‘90s, seven in the ‘00s, nine in the ‘10s, and now one in the ‘20s. He’s the first act to have achieved at least one top 10 album in each decade from the ‘60s through ‘20s. (The 2020s decade is still young, so a number of other acts could join him in this achievement.) Dylan made his Billboard 200 debut (and overall Billboard chart debut) nearly 57 years ago with The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, which arrived on the list dated Sept. 7, 1963, at No. 125. It peaked at No. 22 on Oct. 5 of that year. He got his first top 10 with the No. 6-peaking Bringing It All Back Home on Oct. 9, 1965. He earned his first of five No. 1s with Planet Waves on Feb. 16, 1974. The new album was led by the 17-minute track “Murder Most Foul,” which debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the Hot Rock Songs chart (April 11, 2020). It also entered atop the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, marking Dylan’s first No. 1 song on any Billboard chart. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s Artist 2.0 rockets back into the top 10 on the Billboard 200, as it flies from No. 80 to No. 3, following its deluxe reissue on June 19. The set earned 43,000 equivalent album units -- up 292 percent. Most of that gain is attributed to streaming activity, as 41,000 of that figure is SEA units (up 281 percent). The album debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Feb. 29-dated list and spent its first two weeks in the top 10. The album was reissued on the 19th, adding nine songs to the original set’s 20-song tracklist. DaBaby’s Blame It On Baby slips from No. 3 to No. 4 (37,000 equivalent album units; down 8 percent, Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding falls 4-5 (36,000 units; down 4 percent) and Lady Gaga’s Chromatica drops 2-6 (33,000 units; down 25 percent). Drake’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes falls from No. 5 to No. 7 with just over 32,000 units (down 11 percent). Teyana Taylor achieves her first top 10 album, as The Album bows at No. 8 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 27,000 are in SEA units, 4,000 are in album sales and 1,000 are in TEA units. Taylor previously visited the Billboard 200 twice, with VII in 2014 (peaking at No. 19) and K.T.S.E. (reaching No. 17 in 2018). Lil Uzi Vert’s former No. 1 Eternal Atake (moving 8-9 with just over 31,000 equivalent album units earned; down 8 percent) and Polo G’s The Goat (9-10 with 31,000 units; down 8 percent). DaBaby's "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch, returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a third total week in the top spot. The song reclaims the throne from 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's "Trollz," which plummets to No. 34 on the Hot 100, after it debuted at No. 1 a week ago. "Rockstar," released on SouthCoast / Interscope Records, rebounds from No. 2 on the Hot 100, after it led the lists dated June 13 and 20. It posts a sixth week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 37.9 million U.S. streams (down 5%) in the week ending June 25, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It lifts 3-2 on Digital Song Sales with 12,000 sold (down 7%) in the week ending June 25 and 14-12 on Radio Songs with 39.7 million airplay audience impressions (up 27%, good for the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award) in the week ending June 28, hitting new highs on both charts. Megan Thee Stallion's former one-week Hot 100 No. 1 "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, rises 4-2 and The Weeknd's former four-week leader "Blinding Lights" lifts 5-3. The latter leads Radio Songs for a 12th week (76.8 million, up 3%) and the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 15th frame. SAINt JHN's "Roses" enters the Hot 100's top five, rising 8-4. It pushes 8-7 on Streaming Songs (17.4 million, down 3%) and holds at No. 8 on Digital Song Sales (9,000, down 3%) and No. 11 on Radio Songs (41.9 million, up 19%). Justin Bieber's "Intentions," featuring Quavo, returns to its No. 5 Hot 100 high, from No. 7; Doja Cat's former one-week No. 1 "Say So" is steady at No. 6; and Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" drops to No. 7 following its debut at No. 3 a week earlier, as it keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (27.1 million, down 31%). Jack Harlow scores his first Hot 100 top 10, as "Whats Poppin" bounds 18-8. The rapper's first Hot 100 entry jumps 13-5 on Streaming Songs (19.8 million, up 21%) and debuts at No. 23 on Digital Song Sales (5,000, up 92%), following the June 24 arrival of its DaBaby, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne remix (in which DaBaby shouts out his chart success with "Rockstar," rapping, "Still on the Billboard, the No. 1 song in UK"; indeed, the song, in addition to its Hot 100 reign, tops the Official UK Singles chart for a sixth week). The track advances 37-29 on Radio Songs (26 million, up 23%). Lil Mosey likewise earns his first Hot 100 top 10, as "Blueberry Faygo" rises 11-9. The single ascends 12-11 on Streaming Songs (17.6 million, down 1%) and repeats at No. 13 on Radio Songs (36.5 million, up 14%), while increasing by 6% to 3,000 sold. The song samples Johnny Gill's former Hot 100 top 10 "My, My, My," which reached No. 10 in September 1990. Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Post Malone's "Circles" returns to the region, rising 13-10 and logging a record-extending 39th week in the top 10. The song led the chart for three nonconsecutive weeks in November, December and January.
