GLOBAL NO.1 - 40 YEARS AGO... "Hot Stuff" was released on April 13, 1979 as the lead single from Donna Summer's seventh studio album Bad Girls. Although Donna had previously been mainly been associated with disco songs, this release showed a significant rock direction, including a guitar solo by ex-Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan guitarist Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter. "Hot Stuff" won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in the inaugural year the award was given out. The song went to no.1 in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland.

Revenge of the Dreamers III opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, earning 115,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending July 11, according to Nielsen Music.

Of that sum, 23,000 were in album sales. The multi-act 18-track hip-hop project boasts the Dreamville label’s roster of acts, including Dreamville chief J. Cole on eight songs. Revenge was released on July 5 via Dreamville / Interscope Records and follows Revenge of the Dreamers II (released in 2015), and the Revenge of the Dreamers mixtape (2014). The new Revenge III set easily surpasses the peak position of Revenge of the Dreamers II. The latter debuted and peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 dated Dec. 26, 2015. (The first Revenge of the Dreamers set did not chart.) The Revenge III tracklist is populated by J. Cole and his Dreamville artists Bas, Cozz, EARTHGANG, J.I.D., Ari Lennox, Lute and Omen. Additionally, more than 25 other guests are featured on the set, including DaBaby, Ski Mask the Slump God, T.I., Ty Dolla $ign and Vince Staples. The tracks were recorded during a 10-day session in January, where more than 100

artists and producers were invited to write and record songs for Revenge III. At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, Billie Eilish’s former leader When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? moves up one spot, with 50,000 equivalent album units (down 3%). Chris Brown’s Indigo slides from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week, with just under 50,000 units (down 54%), and Lil Nas X’s 7 falls from No. 2 to No. 4 with 49,000 units (down 21%). Machine Gun Kelly clocks his fourth top 10 album, as Hotel Diablo checks in at No. 5 with 39,000 equivalent album units (with 16,000 of that sum in album sales). He previously visited the top 10 with Bloom (No. 8 in 2017), General Admission (No. 4, 2015) and Lace Up (No. 4, 2012). Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You ascends one rung, returning to its No. 6 high, on the new Billboard 200, earning 32,000 equivalent album units (down 10%), while Khalid’s former No. 1 Free Spirit descends 6-7 with nearly 32,000 units (down17%). Post Malone’s former topper beerbongs & bentleys climbs 16-8 with 25,000 units (up 5%), likely due to increased attention the artist has received courtesy of his new single “Goodbyes,” featuring Young Thug, which was released on July 5. (The song is not on beerbongs.) Mustard’s Perfect Ten slips from No. 8 to No. 9 in its second week on the list, earning a little more than 24,000 equivalent album units (down 32%), while Jonas Brothers’ former No. 1 Happiness Begins is a non-mover at No. 10 with 24,000 units (down 16%). Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a 15th week, moving to within a week of the record for the most time spent at No. 1 in the chart's six-decade history. Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" each spent a record 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2017 and 1995-96, respectively. As on the Hot 100, "Road" (on Columbia Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a 15th week, with 70.5 million U.S. streams, down 21%, in the week ending July 11, according to Nielsen Music. "Road" set the record for the top streaming week (143 million) following the April 5 arrival of its remix with Cyrus and claims nine of the 11 biggest streaming frames to date, including the top three. ("Road" is also a week from potentially matching "Despacito" for the most frames spent at No. 1 on Streaming Songs.) "Road" spends an 11th week atop the Digital Song Sales chart with 43,000 downloads sold, down 24%, in the week ending July 11. On Radio Songs, where it reached No. 2, "Road" slides 6-8, with 65.2 million audience impressions, down 14%, in the week ending July 14. Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" notches a fifth total week at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, as it dips 3-4 on Streaming Songs (40.1 million, down 2%) and rises 7-5 on Radio Songs (79.6 million, up 5%) and 8-7 on Digital Song Sales (20,000, up 4%). Contributing to its totals, a remix with Bieber was released Thursday (July 11) afternoon, just before the end of the July 5-11 streaming and sales tracking week. Thus, consumption of the first full week of the Bieber remix (which rolls into the song's singular Hot 100 listing) will be reflected on next week's Hot 100 (dated July 27), when "Road" will be going for its record-tying 16th week at No. 1. Meanwhile, a new remix of "Road," with Young Thug and Mason Ramsey, released Friday (July 12), will also contribute to next week's charts. This week, "Road" tumbles by 20% in overall Hot 100 metrics and "Bad Guy" increases by 1%. "Road" sports a still-commanding 1.5-to-1 points difference over "Bad Guy," after leading by 1.9-to-1 last week. Post Malone's "Goodbyes," featuring Young Thug, enters the Hot 100 at No. 3, becoming the former's seventh top 10 (and fifth to debut in the region) and the latter's second, following his featured turn on Camila Cabello's "Havana," which topped the Jan. 27, 2018, chart. "Goodbyes" begins at No. 2 on both Streaming Songs (40.8 million) and Digital Song Sales (41,000) and at No. 49 on Radio Songs (22.9 million). Khalid's "Talk" backtracks to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 peak, as it leads Radio Songs for a fifth week (133.2 million, up 5%), as well as the streaming-, airplay- and sales-fueled Hot R&B Songs chart for a 12th frame. Shawn Mendes and Cabello's "Señorita" is stationary at No. 5 on the Hot 100, two weeks after it arrived at its No. 2 best rank, and Ed Sheeran and Bieber's "I Don't Care" drops 4-6, after likewise debuting at its No. 2 highpoint. Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" retreats 6-7 on the Hot 100. Still, a week after becoming her first top 10 on the tally, it does the same on Radio Songs, where it surges 14-10 (52.3 million, up 18%), good for top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100. Jonas Brothers' "Sucker" regresses 7-8 on the Hot 100, after spending a week at No. 1 upon its debut in March, and Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" descends 8-9, after logging a week on top in January. "Sunflower" posts a 30th week in the top 10, becoming just the eighth single ever to reach the longevity milestone; Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," featuring Cardi B, and Sheeran's "Shape of You" share the record with 33 weeks each totaled in the top 10. Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, DaBaby's "Suge" is steady at No. 10, after reaching No. 7.
