Olivia Rodrigo‘s reign isn’t letting up!

The singer’s hit single “Drivers License” is No. 1 for the fifth week on the Billboard Hot 100, the company confirmed Tuesday (February 16).

The song was originally released on January 8, and “totaled 27.6 million U.S. streams (down 14%) and 16,000 downloads sold (up 29%) in the week ending Feb. 11, according to MRC Data. It also drew 54.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 16%) in the week ending Feb. 14, as it wins the Hot 100′s top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth consecutive frame.”

It’s now the 10th song to have debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and spent at least five weeks at the top spot. It’s also the first for a female artist’s first No. 1 as a solo act. Congratulations, Olivia!

Morgan Wallen remains at No. 1.

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter’s Dangerous: The Double Album stays at the top spot on the Billboard 200 as of Sunday (February 14), the company confirmed.

Earlier in the month, footage surfaced of the singer using a racial slur, which has yet to make any significant impact on his sales, despite being suspended from his record label and ineligible for some awards.

“Dangerous earned 150,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 11 (up 1%), according to MRC Data. Dangerous bowed atop the list four weeks ago, on the chart dated Jan. 23. It’s just the third album to spend five weeks at No. 1 in the last 12 months, following Taylor Swift’s Folklore (eight weeks) and Lil Baby’s My Turn (five weeks). My Turn and Folklore were also the two most popular albums of 2020, according to MRC Data,” the outlet reported.

Not only that, but his 2018 debut album If I Know Me closes out the top 10, jumping 17-10 with 29,000 units (up 33%).

Here’s what he said in his apology video.

Morgan Wallen is still on top of the charts, despite controversy.

The 27-year-old country singer-songwriter, who was just dropped from his record label after being caught on camera saying a racial slur, remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as of Sunday (February 7) with his Dangerous: The Double Album, the company reported.

“The set earned 149,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 4 (up 14%), according to MRC Data. The album arrived atop the list three weeks ago, on the chart dated Jan. 23,” the outlet reported.

“Of Dangerous’ 149,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending Feb. 4, SEA units comprise 118,000 (up 3%, equaling 159.76 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 25,000 (up 102%) and TEA units comprise 6,000 (up 67%).”

The number also comes as multiple radio groups dropped his music last week, and he was removed from over 30 influential playlists on streaming. His music was not removed from any digital retailers (like iTunes), and remains available in retail stores. With Dangerous having spent its first four weeks at No. 1, it’s the first country album to do so since January 2003, Billboard also reported.

He is also now ineligible for this award.

The last album to spend three weeks at No. 1 that also appeared on the Top Country Albums chart was Taylor’s Red, which tallied seven nonconsecutive weeks at the top spot in 2012.

The last album of new material by a male artist to spend three weeks at No. 1 and also appear on Top Country Albums was Alan Jackson’s Drive in 2002, with a total of four weeks at the top.
