This week we say goodbye to "Good Without" by Mimi Webb and "Follow You" by Imagine Dragons.

Dua Lipa jumps in at #37 with "Love Again". The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber have our highest debut at #35 with "Stay".

Regard, Troye Sivan, and Tate McRae jump 7 spots to #26 with "You", the fastest rise this week. Coming close is "Renegade" by Big Red Machine and Taylor Swift up 5 to #17.

Coldplay have lost their "Higher Power", as the fall 11 spots to #30, the biggest fall this week.

Duncan Laurence gets his 1st top 10 with "Arcade".

Justin Bieber, Daniel Caesar, and Giveon climb up to #3 with "Peaches". After hitting #1 last week, The Kid LAROI fall to #2 with "Without You". And "Levitating" by Dua Lipa reclaims the #1 for a 6th nonconsecutive week! This ties it with "drivers license" for the 2nd longest running #1 of the year so far.

"Kings & Queens", "drivers license" and "Levitating" will probably qualify for AT40: 40 Biggest #1 Hot AC Songs of the 2020s.

Thank you Hot AC Archiver for this info. As you may probably be aware, "Someone You Loved" unfortunately missed that feat on the American Top 40 :)
