Olivia Rodrigo Earns Her Third Streaming Songs No. 1 With ‘Vampire’
Olivia Rodrigo scores her third No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart thanks to “Vampire,” which debuts atop the July 15-dated tally.
“Vampire” bows with 35.5 million official U.S. streams in its first week, according to Luminate.
It follows similar No. 1 debuts by “Drivers License,” a four-week leader beginning in January 2021, and “Good 4 U,” which crowned the list for eight weeks starting in May 2021.
Between “Good 4 U” and “Vampire,” Rodrigo accumulated eight Streaming Songs appearances, all from 2021 debut album Sour. The top-ranking of those, “Traitor,” debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the June 5, 2021, ranking.
The 35.5 million stream count of “Vampire” is the largest for any song in the U.S. since Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” earned 36.6 million toward the April 22 survey.
It’s the second-best first-week count for any song in 2023, behind only Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” which debuted with 52.6 million streams toward the Jan. 28 list.
Concurrently, as previously reported, “Vampire” debuts at No. 1 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, also her third No. 1 and third debut atop the chart, following “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U.” In addition to its streams, the song earned 26.3 million radio audience impressions and 26,000 sales.
It launches at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales and No. 22 on Radio Songs, and it bows at Nos. 17 and 22 on Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay, respectively.
“Vampire” is the lead single from Guts, Rodrigo’s second studio album, due Sept. 8.
