About this listen
With the margins shrinking even further, the charts enter their most unpredictable stretch yet. Bruno Mars’ "I Just Might" holds strong in its second week at the top, but the gap is razor-thin — and with YouTube now fully out of the formula, the race is wide open. Olivia Dean surges to a new peak and suddenly finds herself closer than ever to #1 as Grammy week approaches.
The tension isn’t limited to the Hot 100. On the albums side, A$AP Rocky storms in with a massive debut, while Bad Bunny and ENHYPEN remain firmly in the mix. And this week seems like no less of a competition with blockbuster albums and new album by Megadeth enter the mix — turning the Billboard 200 into another multi-way battle where small shifts could decide everything.
We also break down Harry Styles’ "Aperture", a major moment that opens a new era while landing in an already crowded top tier — and share our thoughts on who’s best positioned to win at the Grammys as performances and momentum collide.
Plus: Zara Larsson, Ella Langley, Tyla, Bad Bunny, Victoria Beckham and more.
