    Published

    NPR reports that Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" spent a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Adéla and Dominic Fike earned their first top 10 hits there.

    Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" led the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week, helped in large part by more than 150,000 physical copies sold, NPR reports.

    Slovak pop singer and dancer Adéla scored her first top 10 hit with "Nicole Kidman," whose lyrics and video lean heavily on the actress's films, "Babygirl" among them.

    Dominic Fike, a singer, songwriter and actor seen in "Euphoria," also reached the top 10 for the first time with "Babydoll," a 2018 song that entered the Hot 100 in February after a TikTok surge.

    Colombian singer Karol G earned only her second top 10 entry with "Bby WOW," which NPR Music's Stephen Thompson calls the season's biggest Latin music hit.

    Why it matters

    Thompson sees "Bby WOW" as a refreshing change of pace, given how long Taylor Swift and country ballads have led the charts.
