Four Years Later, Taylor Swift’s 2019 Single ‘Cruel Summer’ Is No. 1, Helping Swift Reach A Historic Chart Milestone

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated October 28, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Morgan Wallen — “Thinkin’ Bout Me”

“Thinkin’ Bout Me” had a huge week, climbing all the way from No. 25 and making its way back into the top 10. Actually, a lot of songs are returning to the top 10 this week, after Drake dominated last week’s Hot 100 with songs from his new album For All The Dogs.

9. Morgan Wallen — “Last Night”

Former No. 1 “Last Night” had a similar journey, rebounding from No. 19 to No. 9 this week.

8. Drake — “First Person Shooter” Feat. J. Cole

Drake didn’t depart the top 10 entirely, as he still has two songs in the region, including “First Person Shooter,” which was J. Cole’s first-ever No. 1 song.

7. Luke Combs — “Fast Car”

Combs never quite reached No. 1, but “Fast Car” has had some impressive longevity, hanging around the top 10 after spending eight weeks at its No. 2 peak.

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

“I Remember Everything” is all over the charts, as it’s currently No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts (for an eighth week) and the Hot Country Songs chart (for a fourth week).

5. Bad Bunny — “Monaco”

The biggest debut of the week goes to Bad Bunny, whose new Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana single “Monaco” enters the chart at No. 5 after its release and Saturday Night Live performance.

4. Drake — “IDGAF” Feat. Yeat

“IDGAF” debuted at No. 2 last week and the Yeat-featuring Drake hit had only a modest slide down to No. 4 this week.

3. SZA — “Snooze”

Another song that hasn’t quite hit No. 1 yet, “Snooze” is No. 3 on the Hot 100 but No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a third week.

2. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

“Paint The Town Red” has so far spent three non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, but it won’t add onto that tally this week, as it was kept out of the top spot by…

1. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Swift recently decided to release the 2019 song “Cruel Summer” as a single here in 2023, and because she’s Taylor Swift, it was worked tremendously. “Cruel Summer” is now Swift’s milestone tenth No. 1 single. That puts her in historic company, as the only other artists with double-digit No. 1’s are Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson (10 each), Whitney Houston (11), The Supremes, Madonna (12 each), Michael Jackson, Drake (13 each), Rihanna (14), Mariah Carey (19), and The Beatles (20).
