“Havana” boasts the longest such command since Taylor Swift‘s “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which also led for seven weeks, beginning on the chart dated February 2, 2013.
The last song by a lead female to rule Pop Songs for more than seven weeks? Rihanna‘s “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris: eight weeks in 2011-12.
The Pop Songs chart, dated January 13, measures total weekly plays, as tabulated by Nielsen Music, among its reporting panel of 161 mainstream top 40 stations.
Here’s a look at the longest-leading Pop Songs No. 1s in the 2010s among all acts:
Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Date Reached No. 1
11, “Closer,” The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, Oct. 8, 2016
10, “Blurred Lines,” Robin Thicke feat. T.I. + Pharrell, July 20, 2013
9, “Shape of You,” Ed Sheeran, March 4, 2017
8, “One More Night,” Maroon 5, Oct. 13, 2012
8, “We Found Love,” Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris, Dec. 10, 2011 7, “Havana,” Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug, Dec. 9, 2017 7, “I Knew You Were Trouble.,” Taylor Swift, Feb. 2, 2013
7, “California Gurls,” Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg, July 3, 2010
7, “TiK ToK,” Ke$ha, Feb. 6, 2010
The longest command in the Pop Songs chart’s entire 25-year history belongs to Ace of Base‘s “The Sign“: 14 weeks at No. 1 in 1994. Three songs share the mark for the longest rule among lead females: 11 weeks each for Natalie Imbruglia‘s “Torn” (1998), Donna Lewis “I Love You Always Forever” (1996) and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men‘s “One Sweet Day” (1995-96).
“Havana” is from Cabello’s debut solo album Camila, due Friday (January 12). The follow-up single, “Never Be the Same,” bullets at No. 32 on Pop Songs.
The official music video for the 20-year-old Mexican American singer’s collaboration with Bad Bunny “Mayores” has surpassed Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” in YouTube views.
To date, the steamy “Mayores” video has notched 780,639,040 views while “Look What You Made Me Do” has earned 773,087,373.
It should be noted that because “Mayores” is a collaboration equally billed between Becky and Bad Bunny, Swift is still the most watched female solo act of 2017.
Considering “Look What You Made Me Do” premiered a little over a month after “Mayores,” it’s still possible for the numbers to change in favor of Swift — but only time will tell.
