Harry Stylesâ âAs It Wasâ notches a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. It premiered at the pinnacle three weeks earlier and, after dipping to No. 2, rebounded to the top a week ago.
Meanwhile, Imagine Dragons and JIDâs âEnemy,â at No. 5 on the Hot 100, becomes the most-heard song on U.S. radio, taking over atop the Radio Songs chart. Itâs Imagine Dragonsâ second leader on the airplay survey and JIDâs first.
