.
Alt Z
The ALT Z chart holds firm at the top, with Tate McRae maintaining an iron grip as “Just Keep Watching” and “Greedy” remain unshaken in the first two positions. The surrounding ranks see remarkable stability, with Faouzia’s “Minefields,” Sub Urban’s “Uh Oh!” with Benee, and Elley Duhé’s “Middle Of The Night” all steady in the upper tier. The lower half also resists movement, though there is a notable exchange between Ashnikko’s “Daisy” and Royal’s “Wasteland,” the latter climbing to No. 15 as “Daisy” eases to No. 16. The only true shift comes at the close of the chart, where Melanie Martinez’s “Death” enters at No. 20, replacing Reneé Rapp’s “Mad” and bringing Martinez’s dark pop reinvention into the fold.
Alternative Metal
The ALTERNATIVE METAL ranking remains entirely intact across the two weeks, reflecting the sustained dominance of Linkin Park and Falling In Reverse. “The Emptiness Machine” and “Up From The Bottom” continue their lock on the top two spots, with “Watch The World Burn” and “Voices In My Head” ensuring Falling In Reverse’s presence directly beneath. Even deeper in the lineup, long-established staples such as Evanescence’s “Afterlife,” Breaking Benjamin’s “So Cold,” and Slipknot’s “Nero Forte” hold their ground without interruption. The absence of new entries or exits underscores the chart’s remarkable stability during this period.
Alternative R&B
The ALTERNATIVE R&B chart mirrors that same sense of consistency, with Mariah The Scientist’s “Burning Blue” leading uninterrupted and Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” holding firmly at No. 2. The rest of the upper ranks, including Sevdaliza’s collaborative “Alibi” and Doechii’s “Denial Is A River,” remain unmoved. In the lower reaches, a single adjustment occurs with Victoria Monét’s “Alright” arriving at No. 20, replacing Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys.” With production by KAYTRANADA and a striking visual identity, Monét’s addition injects fresh energy into a chart otherwise characterized by steady placements.
American Hip-Hop
The AMERICAN HIP-HOP chart undergoes more noticeable changes than the other genres. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” continues to reign at No. 1, while Central Cee and Lil Baby’s “Band4Band” holds its ground at No. 2. However, a reshuffling occurs just below, as Travis Scott’s “Fe!N” with Playboi Carti rises into the No. 4 position, pushing King Von’s “Took Her To The O” down to No. 5. Another key development arrives mid-chart, with YoungBoy Never Broke Again advancing as “Finest” climbs to No. 11, nudging Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” and Future’s “Life Is Good” one slot lower. The most significant arrival comes at No. 17, where YoungBoy secures another entry with “Self Control,” displacing Gunna’s “Him All Along” to No. 18 and reaffirming his prolific impact. With this move, YoungBoy expands his presence while ensuring the chart remains dynamic beneath the still-unshakable leaders.
Art Pop
The ART POP landscape sees Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish remain the defining forces. Gaga and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With A Smile” continues at No. 1, while Eilish’s “Birds Of A Feather” remains close behind. The top four positions hold steady, but the ordering beneath them shifts, as “Happier Than Ever” rises into the top five, sending “Everything I Wanted” to No. 9. Lana Del Rey also gains ground, with “Doin’ Time” moving into the No. 11 spot and “Chemtrails Over The Country Club” following at No. 12, both advancing over Charli XCX’s “Party 4 U.” Meanwhile, Charli balances that small setback with “360,” which rises to No. 13. The lower tier sees modest movement as Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga exchange positions with “Lunch” advancing to No. 16 while “Disease” settles at No. 18. Despite these refinements, the chart remains dominated by the interplay of Gaga, Eilish, and Del Rey, each securing multiple entries in commanding fashion.
Asian Pop
The ASIAN POP chart witnesses a pronounced reshuffling near the top as Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “Apt.” secures its second week at No. 1, while Katseye’s “Touch” vaults into the runner-up position, overtaking both “Gnarly” and BTS’s enduring global anthem “Dynamite,” now at No. 4. Jennie’s “Like Jennie” and Stray Kids’ “Lalalala” each hold steady, while YOUNGOHM’s “เจิดจรัส” climbs into the top ten for the first time, now stationed at No. 7. The middle order shifts modestly, with Lisa’s “Rockstar” and Katseye’s “Gabriela” each gaining a place. The most striking new development arrives at No. 14, where Mrs. Green Apple makes a high-profile debut with “クスシキ,” the theme to *The Apothecary Diaries*’ second cour. Meanwhile, Jennie expands her footprint further as “Extral” with Doechii arrives at No. 20, ensuring her presence across three entries and marking a confident cross-genre collaboration.
Country Music
The COUNTRY MUSIC chart remains centered around Miley Cyrus, who continues her reign at No. 1 with “End Of The World.” The week, however, sees Morgan Wallen consolidate his dominance, as “I’m The Problem” advances into the No. 2 slot, edging past Riley Green’s “Worst Way” and pushing Bailey Zimmerman’s “Fall In Love” to No. 4. The rest of the leading pack, including Luke Combs’ “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” and Ella Langley’s collaboration with Green, holds its ground with precision. Beyond these modest adjustments, the chart maintains a sense of continuity, with no new debuts or departures across the twenty positions.
Dance Pop
The DANCE POP chart sees the upper tier entirely undisturbed, with Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “Apt.” extending its lead at No. 1 and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” firmly in second. Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” and Gaga’s “Shallow” continue in the following positions, underscoring the ongoing dominance of these crossover hits. Below them, a careful rebalancing unfolds as Elton John and Dua Lipa’s “Cold Heart” swaps with Doja Cat’s “Say So,” while Jazzy’s “No Bad Vibes” climbs to No. 16. The week’s most dynamic change belongs to Swedish House Mafia, as “Moth To A Flame” with The Weeknd re-enters at No. 17, reaffirming its longevity. Dua Lipa further extends her presence with “Love Again,” which debuts at No. 20, ensuring her foothold stretches across four entries and highlighting her sustained influence within the genre.
East & South African Music

The only shifts occur deeper in the lineup, where Shandesh’s “Sdudla Or Slender” and 2Point1’s “Sthandwa Sam” exchange positions, while DJ Maphorisa’s contributions continue to close out the chart with “Dlala Ka Yona” and “Ngibolekeni.” With no new debuts, the week is marked more by consolidation than by disruption, emphasizing the staying power of regional heavyweights.
French R&B
The FRENCH R&B chart sustains its structure with near-total steadiness, as Joé Dwèt Filé’s “4 Kampé” defends its lead, while Gims secures both the No. 2 and No. 3 positions with “Sois Pas Timide” and “Spider” alongside Dystinct. Tayc’s “Yimmy Yimmy” with Shreya Ghoshal and Dadju’s duet with Tayc maintain their hold just beneath, keeping the top five unchanged. The remainder of the lineup holds mostly intact, with only minor adjustments in the middle tier, where Keblack and Jul exchange positions with “Boucan” moving up to No. 12 and “Un Jour, Je L’Aurai” easing to No. 16. Otherwise, the week reflects a scene of remarkable equilibrium, highlighting the dominance of recurring names like Gims, Tayc, and Joé Dwèt Filé.

Bad Omens’ “Like A Villain” and SiM’s “The Rumbling” continue their commanding runs in the upper tier, while Motionless In White and Electric Callboy round out the lead pack with consistency. The deeper ranks show measured shifts: Architects’ “Animals” edges upward to No. 14, causing Bad Omens’ “Nowhere To Go” to slip to No. 15.

Moliy’s “Shake It To The Max [Fly] [Remix]” with Silent Addy maintains its dominance at No. 1, with Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” still runner-up and Wizthemc’s “Show Me Love” holding at No. 3.

From Partynextdoor’s “No Chill” through GloRilla’s “I Luv Her” and Clipse’s “So Be It,” the upper tier shows no movement.
