GLOBAL NO.1 - 20 YEARS AGO... "Music" was released on August 21, 2000 as the lead single of Madonna's eighth studio album with the same name (2000). The nexus of "Music" is about people having fun at a party, while Madonna claims that music makes people come together. Musically, it's a dance-pop and electropop song which provided a cross-section of Madonna's artistic range, as she delivers electronically manipulated vocals. "Music" peaked number one in many countries, including the USA, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand and got many gold and platinum certifications around the world, in Australia even double-platinum. Its accompanying music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, portrays Madonna and her friends giving a party in her limousine, driven by comedian Ali G. On the Global Countdown 2000 "Music" snatched the pole position with 7.179.000 points.

24kGoldn's "Mood," featuring iann dior, spends a second week at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. "Mood" drew 19.5 million U.S. streams (down 4%) and sold 9,000

downloads (up 18%) in the week ending Oct. 22, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also tallied 72.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 15%) in the week ending Oct. 25. The track jumps 6-3 on Radio Songs, and holds at No. 4 on the Streaming Songs chart and No. 6 on Digital Song Sales. On the Hot 100, it wins the top Airplay Gainer award for the seventh time in the past eight weeks, marking the first song to earn the honor at least that many times in such a span since Pharrell's "Happy" did so for eight weeks in a row in February-March 2014. Cardi B's "WAP," featuring Megan Thee Stallion, keeps at No. 2 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at No. 1, as it leads Streaming Songs for a 10th week (23.7 million, down 9%). Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later," featuring Lil Durk, is steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 2 peak. The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after spending four weeks at No. 1.

It ranks in the top five for a record-extending 30th week, while logging a 36th week in the top 10, the second-most weeks ever spent in the bracket, after Post Malone's "Circles" (39 weeks, 2019-20). "Blinding Lights" leads the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart for a record-padding 32nd week. Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo's "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)" rebounds 6-5 on the Hot 100, two weeks after it vaulted to No. 1, aided by BTS remixes. Gabby Barrett's "I Hope," featuring Charlie Puth, hits a new Hot 100 high, rising 8-6. It concurrently crowns Radio Songs for the first time (76.2 million, up 3%), as it halts the record 26-week reign of The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights." "I Hope" led the Country Airplay chart for a week in April and, aided by its Puth remix released that month, has crossed to adult and pop radio. BTS' "Dynamite" drops 5-7 on the Hot 100, after three weeks at No. 1, as it tallies a ninth week atop Digital Song Sales (25,000, down 43%), and DaBaby's seven-week Hot 100 leader "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch, descends 7-8. Justin Bieber's "Holy," featuring Chance the Rapper, returns to the Hot 100's top 10, bounding 14-9. It debuted at its No. 3 peak four weeks earlier. The song resurges after Bieber performed it on the Oct. 17 episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live. It climbs 10-5 on Digital Song Sales (11,000, up 70%, good for top Sales Gainer honors on the Hot 100), 13-9 Streaming Songs (14.4 million, up 6%) and 18-17 on Radio Songs (36.9 million, up 5%). Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Internet Money and Gunna's "Lemonade," featuring Don Toliver and NAV, ranks at its No. 10 best for a second week. Taylor Swift’s Folklore surges back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for an eighth nonconsecutive week on top, as the set jumps from No. 10 with 77,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 22 (up 170%), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. The album’s huge increase is owed to an explosion of sales generated from Swift’s official webstore, where the superstar sold autographed CDs of the set for $25 each for a limited time. Of Folklore’s units earned for the week, album sales comprised 57,000 of that figure – a gain of 709%. Of Folklore’s 77,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Oct. 22, album sales (as noted above) comprise 57,000 (up 709%), SEA units total 20,000 (down 7%, equaling 26.35 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a little under 500 (up 2%). With another 57,000 copies sold in the latest tracking week, Folklore’s total album sales jump past 1 million (to 1.038 million), making it the first album to sell a million copies in 2020. It’s also the first album released in 2020 to sell a million. Folklore is Swift’s ninth album to sell at least 1 million copies in the U.S. Those nine albums include all eight of her studio efforts, along with her Christmas release The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection. At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon (released via Victor Victor Worldwide / Republic) falls one spot with 66,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1%). 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II (Boominati / Slaughter Boomin / Republic / Epic) dips 2-3 with 47,000 units (down 29%). With Republic Records claiming Nos. 1-3 (the label shares distribution credit with Epic on Savage Mode II), it’s the first time a label has held the top three since Republic itself did it on the July 14, 2018-dated chart. That week, Drake’s Scorpion (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) debuted at No. 1, while Florence + the Machine’s High as Hope (Republic) debuted at No. 2 and Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys (Republic) held at No. 3. On the new Billboard 200, Juice WRLD's former No. 1 Legends Never Die moves 3-4 with a little over 44,000 equivalent album units earned (down 1%). Tom Petty’s 1994 album Wildflowers re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 5 – a new peak – after its deluxe reissue on Oct. 16. The set bounds back onto the tally with 44,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1,765%). Of that sum, 38,000 comprise album sales (up 8,409%), a little under 5,000 comprise SEA units (up 161%) and 1,000 comprise TEA units (up 710%). Wildflowers originally debuted and peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Nov. 19, 1994. The set spent six nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 between Nov. 19, 1994 and Jan. 21, 1995. The album contained the top 20-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” which also reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart. The set also sported the Mainstream Rock Songs top 10 hits “You Wreck Me” (No. 2) and “It’s Good to Be King” (No. 6). Korean pop group NCT lands its first entry on the Billboard 200, as the 23-member act’s second album Resonance, Pt. 1, debuts at No. 6 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 40,000 comprise album sales, a little under 3,000 comprise SEA units, and a negligible sum in TEA units. NCT’s previous album, 2018’s NCT 2018 Empathy, missed the Billboard 200. NCT’s spin-off group NCT 127 (whose 10 members are also part of NCT) has charted three albums on the Billboard 200, including the top 10 set NCT #127: Neo Zone, The 2nd Album, which debuted and peaked at No. 5 on March 21. Lil Baby’s former No. 1 My Turn falls 4-7 with 37,000 equivalent album units (down 3%), the original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton: An American Musical is a non-mover at No. 8 with 32,000 units (down 2%) and Machine Gun Kelly’s previous No. 1 Tickets to My Downfall drops 5-9 with 30,000 units (down 18%). Blackpink’s The Album closes out the top 10, descending 6-10 with 29,500 units (down 15%).
