Rodrigo previously ruled both rankings with “Brutal” in 2021 and “Bad Idea Right?” in 2023. She has now notched a No. 1 on the charts from each of her three albums: Sour, Guts and her forthcoming You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
In all, Rodrigo has charted 13 titles on both Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs, 11 of which have hit the top 10.
The streams and sales counts for “The Cure” also land the track at No. 1 on the Alternative Streaming Songs and Alternative Digital Song Sales charts, marking her third leader on the former and first on the latter.
Concurrently, “The Cure” bows at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, becoming Rodrigo’s sixth top five and eighth top 10, totals that include four No. 1s. “Drop Dead,” the lead single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted at No. 1 in May and leaps 30-12 on the latest list as the greatest gainer in streaming (13 million, up 13%). “Drop Dead” remains the set’s focus radio track, rising to No. 8 on the Pop Airplay chart.
You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is due on Geffen/Capitol Interscope June 12.
