Romeo Santos and Prince Royce dart to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Dardos” rises 3-1 on the May 9-dated ranking. Santos extends his record for the most No. 1s among tropical acts, with 24 wins; Royce celebrates his 20th chart-topper.
“Dardos” becomes the Greatest Gainer of the week after a 37% surge in audience impressions, to 9.2 million, earned in the United States in the week ending April 30, according to Luminate. The track swaps spots with Maluma and Kany García’s “1+1,” which slips 1-3 with a 30% drop to 6.5 million impressions.

This marks Santos and Royce’s second chart-topping collaboration, following their three-week No. 1 run with “Lokita Por Mí” from Dec. 2025 to March 2026. Both hits stem from their joint album Better Late Than Never, which bowed at No. 2 on Top Latin Albums and led the Top Tropical Albums chart for two weeks in late 2025.
As “Dardos” hits No. 1 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Santos extends his record for the most No. 1s among tropical acts since the list launched in 1994, now with 24 champs. Prince Royce picks up his 20th chart-topper.
On Tropical Airplay, where the track ascends 2-1, Royce collects his 28th No. 1, trailing only Victor Manuelle (29 No. 1s) and Marc Anthony (39). Santos, meanwhile, achieves his 21st ruler.
Elsewhere on the Latin charts, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho achieves its 22nd No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “¿Dónde Estabas Tú?” The achievement places them in a tie with Banda MS for the second-highest number of rulers in the nearly 32-year history of the chart, trailing only Calibre 50, which holds the record with 29 No. 1s.
“¿Dónde Estabas Tú?” surged to the top with 7 million audience impressions, a 10% increase during the tracking week. The track follows the group’s previous two-week chart leader alongside Juanes, “Una Noche Contigo.”
Welcome to Billboard Pro’s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention.

This week: The Devil Wears Prada 2 makes all the money and gets a bunch of soundtrack bumps, memories of Mac Miller bring listeners back to 2016 (again), and social media jokes help mint a new streaming hit.
Look Around, Everywhere You Turn Is Devil Wears Prada 2
The new sequel to the beloved 2006 fashion-world comedy The Devil Wears Prada came to theaters nationwide over the weekend (May 1), and was received with both positive reviews and booming business. The film sequel opened to $77 million in domestic returns and $233 globally, the best debut of the year outside of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and nearly three times the stateside opening for the original movie 20 years ago. And like that first movie — which helped make a hit out of KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See” and also featured songs by big names like U2, Alanis Morissette and (of course) Madonna — the movie’s soundtrack is off to a robust start.
The big single from the movie this time comes from pop and fashion icon Lady Gaga, who makes a cameo in the movie and also offers three original songs to its soundtrack, including the previously released Doechii collab “Runway.” The sashaying single amassed nearly 2.2 million official on-demand U.S. streams over the release weekend (May 1-3), according to Luminate, a gain of 189% from the 756,000 it posted over the previous weekend. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa’s movie-opening Radical Optimism cut “End of an Era” was up 207% over the same period to 138,000 streams, and Madonna’s timeless “Vogue” was up 30% to 493,000.
And of course, since memories of the original movie were also burning bright over the weekend, “Suddenly I See” saw a.decent-sized bump as well, rising from 282,000 to 357,000 streams over the same period, a gain of 27%. – ANDREW UNTERBERGER
Mac Miller & Ty Dolla $ign Is the Latest 2016 Track to See Streaming Surge in 2026
Mac Miller & Ty Dolla $ign’s “Cinderella” is in the top 10 of Hot Rap Songs for the first time, over ten years post-release — and it’s largely thanks to TikTok.
Since fall 2025, young listeners have gravitated towards the 2016 Divine Feminine fan-favorite, primarily highlighting Miller’s doe-eyed lyrics and Ty’s sweet hook. With the official “Cinderella” TikTok sound boasting over 2.2 million clips, users have started to employ the phrase, “I was/am so Cinderella by Mac Miller about him/her/them,” to express how deeply in love they are. With other users connecting the song to Miller’s close friend and former partner, pop superstar Ariana Grande, “Cinderella” has touched nearly every corner of TikTok.
Recently, “Cinderella” has quickened its streaming ascent, jumping 146% over the past four weeks. A month ago (March 26-April 2), “Cinderella” earned 2.43 million official on-demand U.S. streams, with that number vaulting to nearly 6 million streams during the week of (April 24-30).
Upon release, The Divine Feminine reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200, but all its singles missed the Hot 100 — that could very well change should “Cinderella” continue to rise across metrics. – KYLE DENIS
Facetious X & TikTok Trends Set Off Karlee Girl’s “Right Back” on Streaming
Dream Academy and Building the Band alumna Karlee Girl just rode social media jokes to a burgeoning streaming hit. She first shared “Right Back” in February, but by the top of April, several viral X posts satirically praised the song, helping it gain traction and eventually land in the hands of listeners who truly embraced the upbeat track. On April 19, Doechii shared a TikTok post of her singing along to “Right Back,” and by April 22, Karlee posted a TikTok singing an acoustic version of the song to celebrate reaching the million-stream milestone. By April 27, Sophia and Yoonchae of KATSEYE shared a TikTok of themselves dancing to Karlee’s breakout hit. Not just an X hit, “Right Back” also plays in over 169,000 TikTok posts.
During the week of April 3-9, “Right Back” collected just 39,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, with that number jumping 370% to over 185,000 streams the following week (April 10-16), once the song started making the rounds on X. By the week of April 17-23, which accounts for Doechii’s clip, “Right Back” jumped a further 302% to over 747,000 official on-demand streams. Finally, during the week of April 24-30, which includes the KATSEYE dance-along TikTok, “Right Back” leapt another 53% to a whopping 1.14 million official streams. Over the past four months, “Right Back” has exploded over 2,795% in streaming activity.
Dream Academy has already gifted the world KATSEYE and ADÉLA, and it looks like Karlee Girl is next up. — K.D.
Noah Kahan achieves his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as The Great Divide debuts atop the list dated May 9. The set, Kahan’s fourth full-length studio project, earned 389,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 30, according to Luminate.
That marks Kahan’s biggest week by units, the largest week for a rock album by units since the chart began measuring by units at the end of 2014 and the third-biggest week of 2026 among all albums.
Further, The Great Divide lands 2026’s largest streaming week of any album. It also claims the biggest vinyl sales week for a rock album in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991). (Rock albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart.)
The Great Divide is Kahan’s fifth charted effort on the Billboard 200 and his second top 10. He previously topped out at No. 2 with Stick Season, in 2024. That set returns to the top 10, rising 11-10 in its 179th week on the chart.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Kehlani captures her fourth top 10 with the No. 4 debut of her self-titled effort, while Michael Jackson’s chart-topping Thriller re-enters the chart at No. 7 following the debut of the Michael biopic in movie theaters.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 9, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 5. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Great Divide’s 389,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 212,000 (equaling 215.37 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, Kahan’s best streaming week and the biggest streaming week of 2026; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 175,000 (his best sales week; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 2,000.
With 389,000 equivalent album units earned, The Great Divide scores the biggest week for a rock album since the Billboard 200 began measuring by units in December 2014. It surpasses the previous high by a rock set in that span, by the No. 1 debut of Dave Matthews Band’s Come Tomorrow, with 292,000 units (June 23, 2018). Plus, with 175,000 copies sold in pure album sales, the set notches the largest sales week for a rock album in nearly seven years, since Tool’s Fear Inoculum bowed at No. 1 with 248,000 (Sept. 14, 2019).
Vinyl purchases comprise 118,000 of The Great Divide’s first week, which is both Kahan’s best week ever on vinyl and the best sales week on vinyl for a rock album in the modern era.
The Great Divide was announced on Jan. 28, and the album’s release on April 24 was preceded by its title track, which spends an 11th week at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart this week (the most weeks atop the chart this decade). The track debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the all-genre multi-metric Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (Feb. 14-dated list), marking Kahan’s highest-charting hit ever.
The album’s first week got a boost from its availability across nine vinyl variants (including a signed edition and a Target-exclusive set with two bonus live tracks), three CD editions (including a signed edition and a Target-exclusive with two bonus live tracks) and a deluxe digital download and streaming version that added four bonus studio songs (dubbed The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs).
Kahan will launch his The Great Divide Tour on June 11 in Orlando, Florida.
A pair of former No. 1s follows Kahan on the latest Billboard 200, as Ella Langley’s Dandelion drops a spot to No. 2 (112,000 equivalent album units, up 6%) and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem dips 2-3 (81,000, down 3%).
Kehlani captures her fourth top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200 as her self-titled set debuts at No. 4 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned — the biggest debut for an R&B album by a woman in 2026. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 45,000 (equaling 45.37 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 24,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
The new album was preceded by a trio of top 10s on the Hot R&B Songs chart, including the five-week No. 1 “Folded,” also her first top 10 on the all-genre Hot 100, reaching No. 6 in January. Kehlani was released on five vinyl variants (including a signed edition), six CD variants (including multiple signed editions), and via a standard digital and streaming edition and a deluxe “Uncut” digital download edition with 10 additional tracks.
BTS’ former No. 1 ARIRANG falls 4-5 on the latest Billboard 200 (56,000 equivalent album units, down 8%), while Justin Bieber’s SWAG slips 5-6 (47,000, down 22%).
Michael Jackson’s Thriller re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 7 with 45,000 equivalent album units earned (up 425%), following the April 24 release of the Michael biopic in movie theaters and its blockbuster opening weekend at the U.S. and Canada box office. Thriller, which spent 37 weeks at No. 1 in 1983-84 — the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a singular artist — was last in the top 10 on the Dec. 3, 2022-dated chart, when it jumped 115-7 after its 40th anniversary reissue.
Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving falls 6-8 on the latest Billboard 200 (43,000 equivalent album units, down 7%), Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time drops 10-9 (39,000, down 2%) and Kahan’s Stick Season steps 11-10 (38,000, down 2%).
Luminate, the independent data provider to the Billboard charts, completes a thorough review of all data submissions used in compiling the weekly chart rankings. Luminate reviews and authenticates data. In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published.
UPDATE (May 2): “Rein Me In” by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean returned to No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the U.K. on Friday (May 1), after being dethroned for one week by Olivia Rodrigo‘s “Drop Dead.” This is the ninth nonconsecutive week atop the U.K. chart for “Rein Me In.” On the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 2, it climbed from No. 73 to No. 66, two points shy of its No. 64 peak to date.
“Rein Me In” is one of just five singles to log nine or more weeks at No. 1 in the U.K. without reaching the top 10 on the Hot 100 (which originated in 1958).
PREVIOUSLY (April 23): Music fans in the United States and the United Kingdom often agree on big hits. Six songs have logged 10 or more weeks at No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100, the flagship chart for success in the U.S., and the Official Singles Chart in the U.K. Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” from The Bodyguard (1992-93) became the first song to reach double digits in weeks at No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” (2025) marked the most recent.
In between those two megahits, four other singles achieved the feat: Drake‘s “One Dance,” featuring WizKid & Kyla (2016), Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” (2017), Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber (2017) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022).
But music fans in our two countries don’t always agree. “Rein Me In” by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean is currently in its eighth week at No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the U.K., but it hasn’t broken through in nearly the same way on the Hot 100. This week, it drops from its No. 64 high point to No. 73. Part of the problem is that two other Dean hits simply refuse to yield: “Man I Need” (which holds at its No. 2 peak) and “So Easy (to Fall in Love)” (which keeps at its No. 6 high). Both are catchier and closer to the core sound in pop music right now. And while Fender is an established star in the U.K., with four top 10 hits, this is his first Hot 100 hit.
“Rein Me In” could be one of those records that takes its sweet time but finally kicks in. But if it does fall short of the top 10 on the Hot 100, which seems likely, it will be the ninth song since 1958 (when the Hot 100 originated) to log eight or more weeks at No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the U.K. but fall short of the top 10 on the Hot 100.
Here’s a complete list of those songs, in chronological order:
Vinyl releases from the likes of Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd and Bruno Mars were among the top-sellers from Record Store Day (RSD) 2026 in the United States, according to Luminate.
The yearly independent record store day celebration was held on April 18 and boasted a bevy of albums and singles (mostly vinyl titles) issued for RSD, and exclusively sold through indie record stores.
More than 350 album and single products were issued for RSD 2026, and the top-selling album was the four-LP clear vinyl release of Pink Floyd’s Live From the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975. The project was also issued as a 2-CD set, and the CD edition was the No. 24 best-selling RSD 2026 album title.
Another two-fer on the list is the soundtrack to KPop Demon Hunters, which ranks at both Nos. 2 and 6, with two different iterations of the album on vinyl: a HUNTR/X edition and a Saja Boys edition, respectively.
Record Store Day 2026 Ambassador Bruno Mars had the No. 2-selling RSD 2026 album with Collaborations. The 11-track double vinyl compilation includes such teamings as the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits “Nothin’ On You” (B.o.B featuring Mars) “Uptown Funk” (Mark Ronson featuring Mars) and “Die With a Smile” (Lady Gaga and Mars).
“Independent record stores are so important because you get the chance to immerse and surround yourself with music and that’s why I’m so excited to be this year’s Record Store Day Ambassador,” Mars said in a statement upon the Ambassador announcement. “I love collecting vinyl because nothing is better than sitting on your couch, putting on a record and just listening to music like that. It feels like a lost art. To actually sit down, put a record on, and consume it is a very Romantic idea. Go out and support your local independent record store on Record Store Day this year.”
Mars follows such recent RSD Ambassadors as Post Malone (2025), Paramore (2024), Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires (2023), Swift (2022), Fred Armisen (2021), Brandi Carlile (2020) and Pearl Jam (2019).
Swift had the top-selling RSD 2026 single, with “Elizabeth Taylor.” The 7-inch was issued on “Cry My Eyes Violet Glitter Vinyl” and included two tracks: “Elizabeth Taylor” and “Elizabeth Taylor” (So Glamorous Cabaret Version).

Eiichiro Oda’s ONE PIECE CHOPPER’s Vol. 1 opens at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 released April 30.
The title is the debut volume of CHOPPER’s, a spinoff project centered on the character Chopper from Oda’s ONE PIECE. The book depicts the beloved doctor’s everyday life and outings in the real world, rendered in manga and illustration form. The title claimed No. 1 in both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce this week.
Last week’s No. 1, Ryo Asai’s In The Megachurch, slips to No. 2, scoring points across five metrics: No. 1 in social media, No. 4 in subscriptions, No. 11 in brick-and-mortar and top-300 placements in both EC and e-books. Debuting at No. 3 is Misaki Takamatsu’s Skip and Loafer Vol. 13, which hit No. 1 in e-books.
The week’s biggest mover is Asako Yuzuki’s BUTTER, which surged from outside the top 20 to No. 14 after improving its point totals in brick-and-mortar, subscriptions and social media. On April 22, Yuzuki announced that the title’s publishing rights are transferring from Shinchosha to Kawade Shobo Shinsha; a paperback edition is scheduled for release from the latter on June 15.

Yellowcard and Good Charlotte, two mainstays of the 2000s pop-punk scene, team up for the latest No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, as “Bedroom Posters” rises a spot to rule the May 9-dated list.
The song, from Yellowcard’s 2025 album Better Days and featuring Good Charlotte, marks Yellowcard’s second total and consecutive No. 1 on the list, following the three-week reign of “Better Days” last August-September. The act led the chart 22 years after it first reached Alternative Airplay, then setting a record for the longest wait between an initial appearance and reaching No. 1.
That record stood until now, as “Bedroom Posters” is Good Charlotte’s first leader on any Billboard airplay ranking. The rockers first hit Alternative Airplay in September 2000 with “Little Things” –– making it an unprecedented 25 years, seven months and one week between an act’s first appearance on the tally and its first No. 1. (Yellowcard still holds the mark for the longest wait among artists first hitting No. 1 as a lead act.)
Good Charlotte cracked the top 10 once prior to “Bedroom Posters” with “The Anthem” in 2003. The band’s highest-charting airplay appearance overall before “Bedroom Posters” was “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,” a No. 6 hit on Pop Airplay in 2003.
Concurrently, “Bedroom Posters” lifts to No. 20 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2 million audience impressions in the week ending April 30, a gain of 7%, according to Luminate. It’s Good Charlotte’s highest-charting song there, having exceeded the No. 34 peak of “Rejects” in 2025.
“Bedroom Posters” premiered sans Good Charlotte on Better Days before the collaborative version arrived Jan. 16. Better Days was released on Oct. 10, 2025 and has earned 31,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated May 9 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, May 5.
Megan Moroney earns her fourth top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Beautiful Things” rises two spots to No. 10 on the list dated May 9, delivering 17.7 million audience impressions (up 7%) April 24-30, according to Luminate.

Cowritten by Moroney, Jessi Alexander, Jessie Jo Dillon and Connie Harrington and produced by Kristian Bush, the track is from Cloud 9, her third studio album, released in February. “Beautiful Things” becomes the second single from the Billboard 200 No. 1 set to reach the top 10, following “6 Months Later,” which rose to No. 2 in January. Moroney first hit the tier with her debut single, “Tennessee Orange” (No. 4, 2023), while “Am I Okay?” followed with a No. 2 peak last summer.
“Beautiful Things” reaches the top 10 in its 27th week, in line with the five-year average for songs to reach the tier dating to May 2021. It joins 20 other songs by solo-billed women to make the top 10 in that span. Lainey Wilson leads that group with six in that frame, followed by Moroney’s four, Ella Langley’s three and Gabby Barrett’s two; Ashley Cooke, Dasha, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Carly Pearce and Carrie Underwood have one each. Overall, women, solo or in collaboration, account for 39 of the 241 top 10s in that stretch (16%).
Debuts: ‘Anymore’ & More
Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen arrive with “I Can’t Love You Anymore” at No. 19 (10.2 million). It marks Langley’s highest debut among eight Country Airplay entries and ties for Wallen’s third highest among 37. Langley, who wrote the song with Austin Goodloe and Joybeth Taylor, debuted it during Wallen’s concert in Tuscaloosa, Ala., April 18; it was teased in the closing moments of her “Choosin’ Texas” video before the duet’s April 24 release.
Meanwhile, Kacey Musgraves gets her 11th entry as “Loneliest Girl” opens at No. 35 (3.4 million). The track is one of 13 on Middle of Nowhere, her sixth studio set, released on Friday (May 1). Plus, singer-songwriter Jacob Hackworth debuts with “What Took You So Long” at No. 60 (720,000), marking his first appearance on any Billboard ranking.
Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide” becomes the sole longest-leading No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart this decade, as well as in nearly 10 years, spending its 11th week atop the tally dated May 9.

The song’s command, which began on the Feb. 28-dated chart and has run consecutively, equals the 11-week lead for Portugal. The Man’s “Feel It Still” in 2017.
“The Great Divide” is one of just three songs to spend at least 10 weeks at No. 1 on Adult Alternative Airplay in the 2020s, following 10 each for Mumford & Sons and Hozier’s “Rubber Band Man” (2025-26) and Hozier’s “Too Sweet” (2024).
The all-time leader, U2’s “Beautiful Day,” dominated for 16 weeks beginning in 2000. (The chart’s history dates to January 1996, with the list currently measuring weekly plays on nearly 50 stations in the format.)
“The Great Divide” has more than doubled Kahan’s previous longest No. 1 stay on Adult Alternative Airplay, besting the five weeks for “Northern Attitude,” with Hozier, in 2024.
