Tate McRae Keeps Her Winning Streak Going With More New No. 1 Hits
Tate McRae scores another chart-topping hit with 'Just Keep Watching,' which debuts at No. 1 on two ... More Billboard dance/electronic lists and reaches No. 33 on the Hot 100. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 11: Tate McRae performs at The Greek Theatre on July 11, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Tate McRae has been on a winning streak for months as she continues the promotional campaign surrounding her latest album, So Close to What. Multiple singles from the collection, as well as one high-profile collaboration with a country superstar, keep pushing her career to new heights. The pop powerhouse's latest release is another big hit, as "Just Keep Watching," taken from the upcoming soundtrack for the F1 movie, arrives on the Billboard charts and earns McRae yet another No. 1. The cut launches at No. 1 on two Billboard rankings this frame. McRae's latest tune opens atop both the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs charts. McRae has previously reached the summit on both tallies, and "Just Keep Watching" adds to her growing total. The Canadian singer has now scored a trio of champions on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs list — an impressive feat considering Billboard only introduced the tally earlier this year. She's landed just half a dozen hits on the roster, and half of them have led the charge. On the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs ranking, the new win doubles her career total of No. 1s and gives her a seventh top 10 smash overall. McRae almost leads the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart as well, but "Just Keep Watching" is forced to settle for the runner-up slot. Instead, "Abracadaver" by Lady Gaga refuses to budge, earning a fifteenth turn at the top, and "Just Keep Watching" follows closely behind. Her collaboration with Regard and Troye Sivan, which dominated for a month in 2021, now stands as her second-highest-charting smash, pushed down within her discography by McRae's F1 track. McRae's new tune also brings her back to the top 40 on the Hot 100, where it revs its engine at No. 33. The cut quickly becomes a streaming success as well, launching at No. 17 on the Streaming Songs tally, and it's a major win on Billboard's global rankings too. This frame, McRae sees two singles chart above "Just Keep Watching" on the Hot 100, giving her a trio of top 40 successes simultaneously. "What I Want" with Morgan Wallen, which debuted at No. 1 just a few weeks back, holds steady at No. 2. "Sports Car," which may be the breakout hit from So Close to What, climbs from No. 25 to No. 22 as radio continues to power its ascent.

Fans Choose Ava Max's ‘Lovin Myself' as This Week's Favorite New Music
Ava Max's 'Lovin Myself' tops this week's new music poll. In a poll published Friday (May 30) on Billboard, music fans chose the pop singer's latest single as their favorite new release of the past week. More from Billboard Friday Music Guide: New Music From Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Tate McRae and More Cynthia Erivo Opens Up About Her Queerness: 'The More Yourself You Are, The Better Understanding Starts to Happen' The Roots Apologize to Fans After First Day of 2025 Roots Picnic Marred By Long Lines: 'Safety Will Always Be Our Number 1 Priority' 'Lovin Myself' brought in 57% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like Tate McRae ('Just Keep Watching'), Miley Cyrus (Something Beautiful), Lorde ('Man of the Year'), Leon Thomas (MUTT Deluxe: HEEL), Yeule (Evangelic Girl Is a Gun), and others. 'Lovin Myself' doubles down on Max's streak of self-empowerment, with the singer declaring, 'I don't need nobody, I'm lovin' myself!' as warm synths rain down on her voice. Max revealed in early May that her third album, Don't Click Play, will be arriving on Aug. 22. The forthcoming set features lead single 'Lost Your Faith.' The album cover sees Max braving the heat within a triangle of fire, her hands gripping its burning edges — perhaps a visual metaphor for the fire-emoji energy she wants listeners to feel when they hit play. The triangle itself resembles the familiar symbol for a play button. In April, she directed fans to a site disguised as an online petition that cleverly teased an unreleased track. Don't Click Play follows 2023's Diamonds & Dancefloors (which reached No. 34 on the Billboard 200) and 2020's debut Heaven & Hell (which peaked at No. 27 and featured her breakthrough single 'Sweet But Psycho,' a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018). Placing second in the poll was Tate McRae's 'Just Keep Watching', which received nearly 15% of the vote. The fast-moving club track is featured in the F1 film soundtrack.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Tate McRae and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Miley Cyrus finds new pop beauty, Lorde upends expectations and Tate McRae revs up for F1. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Something Beautiful' This Way Comes: Stream It Now Miley Cyrus, Drawing upon classic pop influences while also letting her freak flag fly, Miley Cyrus offers a singular accomplishment on Something Beautiful — moving on from 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, which included the biggest hit of her career in 'Flowers,' with her most satisfying front-to-back listen to date, unbothered with trying to recreate radio success but still finding revealing hooks along the way. Lorde, 'Man of the Year' In the past, Lorde has liked to preview a new album with an uptempo lead single and a ballad-leaning follow-up — think Melodrama with 'Green Light' and 'Liability,' or Solar Power with the title track and 'Stoned at the Nail Salon' — but 'Man of the Year,' which comes after the fleet-footed 'What Was That,' is actually a red herring, starting off as a sparse reflection over bass plucks but then widening its stance, and ending with a fuzzed-out boom. Tate McRae, 'Just Keep Watching' Continuing a year in which she's leveled up as a pop star — as well as a week where she earned her first career Hot 100 chart-topper, alongside Morgan Wallen on 'What I Want' — Tate McRae hops into the F1 soundtrack mobile with 'Just Keep Watching,' a fast-moving club track with the type of quick-twitch percussion that could inspire more kinetic choreography if McRae incorporates the song into her live show. Leon Thomas, 'MUTT' may have marked Leon Thomas' arrival as a compelling new voice in popular R&B, its host album of the same name was just as sumptuous as its standout hit; now, MUTT contains even more acrobatic vocal takes by Thomas on its deluxe edition, which includes team-ups with Kehlani and Big Sean, as well as engrossing new solo cuts like 'HEEL' and 'NOT FAIR.' Mt. Joy, The 2020s have seen indie rock quintet Mt. Joy continuously graduate to bigger touring venues, culminating in a Madison Square Garden headlining gig on their last live trek — and instead of simply acting as another excuse for the group to hit the road, new album Hope We Have Fun translates the band's live energy to the studio, with songs like 'Highway Queen' and 'Pink Lady' jangling forward with blissed-out style. Clipse, 'Ace Trumpets' In the 2000s, Virginia hip-hop duo Clipse would regularly release Pharrell Williams-produced bangers that made their listeners scrunch up their noses in delight; then, Malice quit music to explore religion, and his brother Pusha T moved on to solo stardom. Now, Clipse (and Pharrell) are back, recapturing the magic on 'Ace Trumpets,' the head-knocking first track from long-awaited new album, Let God Sort Em Out. Ava Max, 'Lovin Myself' Across pop hits like 'Sweet But Psycho,' 'My Head & My Heart' and 'Kings & Queens,' Ava Max has prioritized electro-pop fun while offering a streak of self-empowerment; new single 'Lovin Myself' doubles down on the second half of that equation, with the singer declaring, 'I don't need nobody, I'm lovin' myself!' as warm synths rain down on her voice. Editor's Pick: Yeule, If Yeule's 2022 album Glitch Princess was their critical breakthrough, Evangelic Girl is a Gun is the first time we receive a full glimpse of the daring singer-songwriter: the hyperpop from years past has morphed into trip-hop, alt-rock and affecting balladry, but across the most vulnerable lyricism of Yeule's career, they still toss out mesmerizing pop ideas, as their song craft serves as a foundation for their roaming spirit.
