Top 50 Trending Songs This Week: Billboard Hot 100
The Billboard Hot 100 for the week of September 5, 2026 (tracking period August 21-27) locks in one of the more unusual weeks of the year, with a record-setting country ballad holding firm at No. 1, four Dolly Parton catalog cuts flooding back onto the chart, and a fresh Latin crossover collaboration posting the week’s biggest jump inside the top 30.
What Is the Number One Song Right Now?
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” spends its 20th week at No. 1, a milestone that now makes it the sole longest-leading non-holiday hit in the Hot 100’s history, surpassing every song except Mariah Carey’s seasonal perennial “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The single, co-written by Langley with Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert, and Joybeth Taylor, has stayed remarkably steady on streaming even as it continues gaining ground at pop and adult pop radio, formats it wasn’t originally built for. It remains the top song on Streaming Songs for a 20th week as well, a feat only two other songs in Hot 100 history have matched.

Billboard Hot 100 Top 50 This Week (September 5, 2026): Full Chart & Rankings
Biggest Movers on the Chart
The week’s clearest streaming story belongs to KAROL G, whose “BbY WOW” with Judeline and rusowsky jumps nine spots from No. 38 to No. 29, the largest gain inside the top 30. The track, pulled from her recent album, is showing up alongside two other Karol G entries lower on the chart, a sign the record is picking up steam broadly rather than on the strength of one standout cut.
On the flip side, KATSEYE’s “Hootie Frutti” posts the week’s steepest fall among songs that stayed on the chart, dropping 18 spots from No. 31 to No. 49. A cluster of songs, including “Spend Dat” by Yung Miami, “Cinderella” by Mac Miller featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and “oh yeah?” by Steve Lacy, all shed six spots or more, reflecting a generally softer week for mid-chart R&B and hip hop titles as country and pop continue to crowd the top of the survey.
New Entries and Debuts
The most notable debut of the week doesn’t belong to a new song at all. Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” enters at No. 27 as the week’s highest new entry, arriving alongside three additional Parton re-entries: “Jolene” at No. 16, “9 to 5” at No. 18, and both “Islands in the Stream” (with Kenny Rogers) at No. 26 and “Here You Come Again” at No. 44. Four vintage Parton titles reappearing in the same week is a significant event on a chart that rarely sees this much simultaneous catalog activity from one artist.
Elsewhere, PARTYNEXTDOOR debuts “Some of Your Love” at No. 36, giving the R&B artist a fresh entry point on the chart this week.
Artists With Multiple Charting Songs
Olivia Rodrigo remains the week’s most consistent presence, with “drop dead,” “stupid song,” “the cure,” “maggots for brains,” “honeybee,” “expectations,” and “what’s wrong with me” (her Robert Smith collaboration) all appearing across the chart, a reflection of her album’s continued depth months after release. Drake also holds multiple positions with “Janice STFU,” “Shabang,” “Ran to Atlanta,” and “National Treasures,” while Ella Langley appears no fewer than five times between her solo cuts and collaborations with Morgan Wallen and Koe Wetzel. Noah Kahan, KATSEYE, and Ariana Grande each land two or more entries as well.
Why These Songs Are Trending
Several forces are shaping this particular week. Country music continues to punch well above its historical weight, a trend that has intensified since 2023 and is reflected in the genre holding down much of the top 10. Dolly Parton’s sudden return likely traces to renewed attention around her catalog, though the specific driver behind the timing of these re-entries could not be confirmed. And Karol G’s rise with “BbY WOW” points to a Latin crossover single finding its footing on streaming several weeks after its initial chart entry, a common pattern for songs that build gradually rather than debut at their peak.
How the Chart Rankings Are Determined
The Billboard Hot 100 combines streaming activity tracked by Luminate, radio airplay audience impressions measured by Mediabase, and physical and digital sales data, all compiled into a single weighted ranking each week. This particular chart reflects the tracking period of August 21 through August 27, 2026, and was published for the week dated September 5, 2026.
