Chart Atlas commentary

Self Aware takes the aggregate #1 on a 15‑market breadth tie as Jolene debuts at #7 with 9 markets and 6 Top 10s

Temper City’s Self Aware is the aggregate #1 with 15 markets and 1 Top 10 (best local rank: #7; consecutive weeks at #1: 1). Justin Bieber’s Beauty And A Beat is #2, matching coverage at 15 markets with 3 Top 10s (best local rank: #6), while Shakira’s Dai Dai is #3 at 12 markets and 6 Top 10s (best local rank: #1), down from last week’s 15 markets and 9 Top 10s. New Top 100 entries are led by Dolly Parton’s Jolene at #7 (9 markets, 6 Top 10s), 9 to 5 at #16 (8 markets, 4 Top 10s), and Islands in the Stream at #25 (7 markets, 2 Top 10s), plus ENHYPEN’s Bloody Paradise at #80 (3 markets, 0 Top 10s). Local #1 turnover reached 9 of 35 countries, and Pop stayed genre #1 with matched songs at 359 from 382 as Country rose to #5 from #9 at 69 from 45.

A breadth‑led #1 with matched coverage at #2 and deeper #3

Self Aware leads the aggregate at #1 on 15 markets and 1 Top 10 (best local rank: #7), its first week at the top; last week it showed 16 markets and 1 Top 10 while at #2. Beauty And A Beat at #2 matches the breadth at 15 markets but shows greater depth with 3 Top 10s (best local rank: #6). Dai Dai at #3 trades the widest reach for the week’s deepest footprint among the top three at 6 Top 10s, but at narrower coverage of 12 markets; last week it held 15 markets and 9 Top 10s. This breadth–depth split is central to the model: Self Aware leads by coverage, while Dai Dai’s advantage sits in local Top 10 depth.

New Top 100 entries skew deep for Dolly Parton

Jolene arrives at #7 with 9 markets and 6 Top 10s (best local rank: #3), a high‑depth profile at moderate breadth. 9 to 5 debuts at #16 with 8 markets and 4 Top 10s (best local rank: #5), while Islands in the Stream opens at #25 with 7 markets and 2 Top 10s (best local rank: #4), mapping a step‑down in depth as coverage narrows. ENHYPEN’s Bloody Paradise enters at #80 with 3 markets and no Top 10s (best local rank: #11), a lighter depth shape at limited reach. These distinct shapes illustrate how different breadth–depth combinations place songs across the aggregate.

Biggest movers expanded coverage without Top 10s

L a k e n o s h i jumped from #948 to #87 as markets rose from 1 to 3, without a Top 10 and a best local rank of #18. Para No Verte Más climbed from #597 to #95 with markets from 1 to 3 and no Top 10s (best local rank: #19). Sweater Weather advanced from #171 to #69 with markets from 2 to 4 and no Top 10s (best local rank: #21), while WO OH OH moved from #181 to #98 with markets from 2 to 3 and no Top 10s (best local rank: #20). In the model, these gains reflect broader cross‑market presence rather than local Top 10 depth.
