Hozier Earns His First Streaming Songs No. 1 With ‘Too Sweet’

Hozier doesn’t just have his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – he’s also topping Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the first time, as “Too Sweet” lifts to the summit of the April 27-dated survey.

“Too Sweet” reigns with 35.6 million official U.S. streams accumulated April 12-18, according to Luminate.

Though that’s a drop from the previous frame’s count of 36.7 million listens April 5-11 (the song’s top single-week sum to date), the song rules thanks to a more precipitous drop for the previous No. 1, Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s “Like That.” While “Too Sweet” drops 3%, “Like That” plummets 13% to 34.8 million streams April 12-18.

“Too Sweet” marks Hozier’s first No. 1 on Streaming Songs, which began in 2013. “Take Me to Church” had been his previous best, peaking at No. 2 in 2015.

Between “Take Me to Church” and “Too Sweet,” he had an additional appearance on the ranking in the form of Noah Kahan’s “Northern Attitude,” on which he’s featured via the song’s late-2023 redo; the track reached No. 23 last November.

Concurrently, “Too Sweet” rules Rock Streaming Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs for a fourth week each after debuting atop both tallies dated April 6.

As previously reported, “Too Sweet” takes over No. 1 on the multimetric Hot 100, also Hozier’s first ruler, surpassing the No. 2 peak of “Take Me to Church.” It has reigned on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs for all four frames since its debut.

The multiformat radio hit continues to climb multiple rankings; its peaks so far include No. 13 on Adult Alternative Airplay, No. 20 on Rock & Alternative Airplay, No. 23 on both Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay and No. 26 on Alternative Airplay.

“Too Sweet” is featured on Unheard, a four-song EP featuring leftover tracks from the singer-songwriter’s 2023 album Unreal Unearth. Premiered March 22, Unheard has earned 127,000 equivalent album units to date.
