Before the five-week reign of “Rockstar,” Roddy Ricch’s solo hit “The Box” dominated for 11 weeks; “Rockstar” comes out of a tie for second with four-week leader “Blinding Lights” from The Weeknd.

Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” hits a new Hot 100 high (8-7), while Lil Mosey’s “Blueberry Faygo” also amounts to a new best (9-8). Completing the top 10, Doja Cat’s ex-week No. 1 “Say So” drops 6-9 and Justin Bieber’s “Intentions”, with Quavo, slides 7-10, after reaching No. 5.
