With her latest hit “Agora Hills,” Doja Cat scales new heights on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. The song, available via Kemosabe/RCA Records, becomes her eighth No. 1 on the survey, dating to her first in 2020, extending her mark for the most leaders this decade. She boasts twice as many as runners-up Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Harry Styles, each with four No. 1s in that span.
