After a quiet start to the year, the charts are finally shifting gears — and moving back into full-throttle mode.

As new rules begin to reshape the Hot 100 and early-year releases pick up momentum, The Fate of Ophelia reaches a major milestone with its 10th week at #1, marking Taylor Swift’s first double-digit Hot 100 leader. Elsewhere, Olivia Dean quietly dominates the chart with seven simultaneous entries, raising real questions about her #1 potential under the updated chart formula.

Meanwhile, Bruno Mars storms back with I Just Might, setting up a tightly contested #1 race as his catalog surges across platforms. We break down the criticism, the numbers, and why this moment makes perfect sense for him. Djo’s End of Beginning climbs into the Hot 100’s upper tier, boosted by renewed interest tied to Stranger Things and strong streaming activity, while classic tracks like Purple Rain gain fresh momentum.
