Fiending off WAPs everywhere, your little sister’s favorite song from TikTok is finally number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. “Mood” the platinum track from 24kGoldn and iann dior is an irresistible emo-rap/rock earworm.
It would seem that no one over the age of 30 has topped the charts in the past few weeks, with the top slot going to NZ producer Jawsh 685 last week.
All About “Mood”
As always, the Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay, and sales data. A quick overview of the track’s performance shows how it took the top spot this week. Released on Columbia Records, “Mood” is the 1,112th No. 1 song in the charts 62-year history.
Streams, sales & airplay: “Mood” drew 20.3 million U.S. streams (down 2%) and sold 7,000 downloads (down 2%) in the week ending Oct. 15, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It also tallied 62.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 16%) in the week ending Oct. 18.
The track rises 6-4 on the Streaming Songs chart, 8-6 on Digital Song Sales, and 7-6 on Radio Songs. On the Hot 100, it grabbed the top Airplay Gainer award for the sixth time in the past seven weeks, marking the first song since Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, in May-July 2017 to do so.
“Mood” tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for an eighth week each and ascends to its first week at No. 1 on Hot Rap Songs, all of which employ the same methodology as the Hot 100.
The song is the first to crown all three charts, or even both Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (formerly Hot Rock Songs), which began in 2009, and Hot Rap Songs, which dates to 1989. (Hot Alternative Songs originated this June.)
Elsewhere on the charts, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s “WAP” rebounds to No. 2 this week. It would appear BTS fans seem to be taking a break causing “Dynamite” to fall No. 5 this week. “Savage Love” falls to No. 6 presumably from the BTS stan hiatus.
