Steve Lacy’s ‘Bad Habit’ Remains No. 1 On The Hot 100 For The Second Week, While Sam Smith And Kim Petras’ ‘Unholy’ Climbs To No. 2.
Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for the second week in a row.
Meanwhile, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” jumps to No. 2 on the Hot 100 from No. 3 a week ago. Smith equals their highest ranking on the survey, which they first achieved with “Stay With Me” in 2014.
In addition, Nicky Youre and dazy’s “Sunroof,” which is currently No. 5 on the Hot 100, becomes the most-heard song on US radio, reaching No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.
The Hot 100 combines all-genre streaming (official audio and video), radio airplay, and sales data in the United States. On Billboard.com, all charts (dated October 15, 2022) will be updated tomorrow (Oct. 11). On Twitter and Instagram, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts for all chart news.
Lacy’s first Hot 100 No. 1, Gemini Rights, which debuted as his first top 10 on the July 30-dated Billboard 200, concurrently rules the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a seventh week each, and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a sixth frame each. It was the first song to top all five charts (dating back to October 2012, when Billboard’s main genre-based song charts adopted the Hot 100 methodology).
Notably, “Unholy” is the first song in nearly a decade to debut in the Hot 100’s top three and rise in rank (and gain in overall chart points) in its second week, since Eminem’s “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna, also pushed 3-2 in its second frame (Nov. 23, 2013), on its way to a four-week No. 1 run that December.
(The devil is in the details: “Unholy” is now the highest-charting Hot 100 hit with the word “holy” in the title, surpassing Justin Bieber’s No. 3-peaking “Holy,” featuring Chance the Rapper, in 2020; prior to that, Jay Z’s “Holy Grail,” featuring Justin Timberlake, peaked at No. 4 in 2013.)
After 15 weeks at No. 1, Harry Styles’ “As It Was” falls 2-3 on the Hot 100, marking the fourth-longest reign in the chart’s history. Nonetheless, the song, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 16-dated list, extends its record for the most weeks in the top three, 27, spanning its entire chart run.
Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat, is holding steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after peaking at No. 3 earlier this year.
