Marshmello and Jonas Brothers’ new collaboration, “Slow Motion,” debuts in the top five of Billboard’s newly-revamped Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated Feb. 1).
The track enters at No. 4 with 3.1 million official streams, 420,000 all-format radio audience impressions and 1,000 downloads sold in the United States in its first week (ending Jan. 23), according to Luminate. The song was released Jan. 17 via Marshmello’s imprint, Joytime Collective, and Republic Records.
The single earns Marshmello his 19th career top 10 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, the fifth-most in the chart’s history (which dates to January 2013), after Kygo (26), David Guetta (25), the Chainsmokers and Calvin Harris (23 each). Jonas Brothers also notch their first top 10 on the chart.
“Slow Motion” marks the second collaboration between Marshmello and Jonas Brothers. They previously teamed up for “Leave Before You Love Me” in 2021. That track reached No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the top 10 on Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary.
Meanwhile, Marshmello and Kane Brown spend a 37th week at No. 1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with their collaboration, “Miles On It.” That’s the third-longest-leading No. 1 hit in the chart’s history, after Marshmello & Bastille’s “Happier” (69 weeks at No. 1) and David Guetta & Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” (55).
Elsewhere on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, John Summit’s “Focus,” featuring CLOVES, debuts at No. 5. Released Jan. 17 on Experts Only/Darkroom Records/ICLG, the song debuts on the strength of two million streams earned in its opening week.
Summit scores his third top 10 on the chart, following two No. 8-peaking collaborations with HAYLA: “Where You Are” (2023) and “Shiver” (2024).
Australian singer-songwriter CLOVES added her second entry on Billboard’s rankings. She first charted in 2016 with her breakthrough hit “Don’t Forget About Me,” which reached No. 34 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. CLOVES (real name: Kaity Dunstan) has released two full-length projects since: One Big Nothing (2018) and Nightmare on Elmfield Road (2021). She also appeared on the second season of Australia’s The Voice in 2013.
Also in the top 10 of Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: Dxrkaii and Jiandro’s “New Jeans (Jersey Club)” rises 12-10, becoming the first top 10 for each act, thanks to 1.5 million streams (up 15%). The song, whose slowed-down mix has been used in over 20,000 TikToks, reworks NewJeans’ K-pop track “New Jeans.”
As previously reported, Billboard revamped Hot Dance/Electronic Songs as of the chart dated Jan. 18. The 25-position chart ranks the most popular current dance/electronic songs, billed to DJs, producers and long-standing core artists in the dance/electronic genre, with an emphasis on electronic-based production. The same week, Billboard launched the 15-position Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, which ranks the most popular current dance/pop titles, featuring titles with dance-centric vocals, melody and hooks, by artists not traditionally rooted in the dance/electronic genre.
