Olivia Rodrigo Archives

Olivia Rodrigo returns to the top of the charts with her new piano–centric ballad vampire – which tells off a certain “bloodsucker” – occupying the No. 1 slot on the Billboard Hot 100.

With vampire, the 20–year–old becomes the youngest artist in the chart’s history to post three No. 1 singles. It also makes her the first artist to have ever to debuted lead singles from her first and second albums at No. 1.

vampire is the lead single from the pop artist’s incoming sophomore album GUTS (due out Sept. 8) and serves as the follow–up to her 2021 debut album “Sour,” which scored Rodrigo her first two No. 1 singles: “Drivers License,” which ruled for eight weeks, and “Good 4 u,” which led the list in its first week out.

Released on June 30 via Geffen/Interscope Records, vampire drew nearly 36 million streams, 26 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 26,000 in the first frame, according to data by Luminate. These numbers represent the biggest debut week of Rodrigo’s career across multiple platforms, including Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and radio.

The new single was simultaneously released with a Petra Collins–directed visual during a live YouTube premiere in Los Angeles on June 29. The video amassed over 12.9 million views in its first 24 hours on the platform.

SOUR collaborator Dan Nigro worked on the track, which according to Rodrigo is about “feeling confused and hurt,” and is also producing GUTS, a project that is set to tackle the “growing pains” the young star has experienced since launching into her career.

vampire replaces Morgan Wallen’s country–pop single “Last Night,” which led the Hot 100 for 13 non–consecutive weeks following its mid–March debut. Rodrigo’s 36 million on–demand streams outpaced Wallen’s 30 million but “Last Night” still drew the larger crowd on radio, logging 74.5 million in radio reach in the last tracking week.

Olivia Rodrigo makes a show–stopping and yet unsurprising return to the Billboard charts, marking her comeback in an immensely successful manner that befits her previous achievements in the music industry.

The pop singer’s latest single Vampire debuts at No. 1 on this week’s Hot 100 chart. Compiled by Billboard, the weekly tally ranks the most–consumed songs in the United States. The chart will refresh on July 11, and at that moment, Rodrigo will replace Morgan Wallen at the top spot. Wallen’s single, “Last Night,” has enjoyed a strong run since its release in mid–March, occupying the No. 1 position for an impressive 13 non–consecutive weeks.

Vampire proved to be an instant monster hit from the moment of its release, excelling across various metrics that contribute to the Hot 100. The song sold 26,000 copies, garnered 35.5 million streams, and reached 26.3 million people through radio airplay in just the first seven days it was available, as reported by Billboard.

With Vampire, Rodrigo now secures her third career No. 1 on the Hot 100. Her debut single, “Drivers License,” made an extraordinary entrance to the chart’s summit in January 2021, making her the first artist to debut their debut song at No. 1.

A few months later, prior to the release of her debut album SOUR, Rodrigo’s follow–up single good 4 u also debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100. This accomplishment solidified Rodrigo’s status as one of the few artists who have attained multiple instant chart–toppers. And now, with the debut of Vampire at No. 1, Rodrigo has added yet another milestone to her repertoire. She joins the ranks of Mariah Carey and Travis Scott and ties for the sixth–most No. 1 debuts in the chart’s history.
