A trio of songs from Olivia Rodrigo’s new album Guts top Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart, powered by X, for Sept. 16, paced by “The Grudge” at No. 1.
Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by X, track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across X, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday, with the latest tracking period running Sept. 1-7.
“The Grudge,” “Pretty Isn’t Pretty” and “Logical” from Guts all land at Nos. 1-3 on the chart. All three are Hot Trending Songs re-entries, coming after they first appeared on the Aug. 12 survey following the tracklist premiere of Guts.
This time, the songs again trended ahead of the album’s release (Sept. 8) thanks to accounts posting about the different songs in anticipation of its official debut to buy and stream.
They reign ahead of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” which debuts at No. 4 following the singer’s Sept. 1 death. Concurrently, the song returns to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1977 at No. 38, as previously reported.
Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and “Come Monday” also make Hot Trending Songs at Nos. 17, 18 and 20, respectively.
Gary Wright’s “Dream Weaver” and “Love Is Alive” appear at Nos. 9 and 10 — like Buffett, after their singer’s death, in Wright’s case on Sept. 4. Both songs hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1976.
