Released in February via Nervous Records, the song hits No. 1 with a 31% surge in plays among 24/7 dance reporters and pop stations' mix show hours, according to Luminate. The remix reimagines Tame Impala's 2015 psych-pop staple from its album Currents, which ruled the Top Alternative Albums and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The original track was a fan favorite, reaching No. 35 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and No. 37 on Alternative Airplay. Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, credited as the sole writer, collects his third No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, following two smashes with Dua Lipa in 2024: 'Houdini' (four weeks at No. 1) and 'Illusion' (five weeks). He also reached the chart as a writer on Lady Gaga's 'Perfect Illusion' in 2016 (No. 28 peak). As for Mau P (also known as Maurice West), the Amsterdam-born DJ scores his first No. 1. He previously appeared on Dance/Mix Show Airplay with 'Drugs From Amsterdam' (No. 16 peak; 2023) and 'On Again' (No. 24; 2024). He's also charted four entries on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: 'Drugs From Amsterdam' (No. 25), 'Gimme That Bounce' (No. 35; 2023), 'Receipts,' with Diplo featuring Gunna (No. 24; 2024), and 'The Less I Know the Better' (No. 14). Mau P has been active in the house and techno worlds for nearly a decade. He's collaborated with other dance heavyweights, including Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Armand van Helden. Zack Martino, JAYEM and Aviella debut on this week's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with their collaborative single, 'Afterlove.' Released in December on Liftoff Recordings, the song arrives at No. 31, earning the week's highest debut, with a 32% spike in plays. The song earns Martino his fifth career chart entry, and first since 2020's 'Something About You,' featuring Kifi (No. 33 peak). He first cracked the chart in 2018 with 'Hold On to Me,' which climbed to No. 3. 'Afterlove' is also a milestone for New York City-based DJ JAYEM (real name Justin Mondello), as the song marks his first-ever appearance on Billboard's charts. '[Charting on Billboard has been] a dream of mine I've been longing to achieve ever since I started producing music,' he shared in a post on Instagram. 'It's an honor to be on such a prestigious chart alongside artist[s] I've looked up to my whole career.' For Aviella, the song earns the singer-songwriter her fourth career entry on Dance/Mix Show Airplay. She topped the chart with her debut hit in 2021, 'Tell Me What You're Thinking.' Calvin Harris' 'Blessings,' featuring Clementine Douglas, debuts at No. 3 on the latest Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, marking the highest debut of the week. It opens with 2.9 million U.S. streams and 1,000 downloads sold earned in its opening week (May 9-15). The song earns Calvin Harris his 54th career entry on the chart, and 25th top 10 — the third-most in the chart's history after David Guetta and Kygo (27 each). It's also his record-extending 14th top five hit. As for Douglas, the song is her third career entry on the chart, after 'Miracle Maker' with Dom Dolla (No. 35 peak; 2022), and 'Asking' with Sonny Fodera and MK (No. 44; 2023). PinkPantheress' new mixtape Fancy That, released via 300/AG, debuts at No. 4 on the latest Top Dance Albums chart with 14,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week (May 9-15). It also opens at No. 72 on the Billboard 200 and No. 21 on Vinyl Albums. PinkPantheress has charted two other albums on Billboard's charts, but neither appeared on Billboard's dance rankings: To Hell With It reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200 in 2021 and Heaven Knows peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200 in 2023. The duo's new electronic/ambient project, Tall Tales, debuts at No. 14 on the Top Dance Albums chart with 4,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week. The album earns Pritchard his second career entry on Top Dance Albums, after his solo album Under the Sun in 2016 (No. 15 peak). It's Yorke's fourth entry, after The Eraser Rmxs (No. 13; 2009), Tomorrow's Modern Boxes (No. 13; 2015) and Anima (No. 1; 2019).

Dua Lipa Continues Cover Series in New Zealand With Luxury Lorde Hit ‘Royals'
Dua Lipa knows all about fantasy escapism. She has the most famous photo dumps on Instagram, full of snapshots from her vacations, late nights, and most recently her stops on the Radical Optimism tour. During her latest show in Auckland, New Zealand, the singer performed a cover of local legend Lorde's luxury fantasy hit 'Royals.' Lorde is the latest artist to get the cover treatment on the Radical Optimism tour. Last week, Lipa welcomed Kevin Parker to the stage in Sydney to perform Tame Impala's 'The Less I Know the Better,' having previously performed 'Rush' with Troye Sivan and 'Riptide' with Vance Joy. Like with 'Royals,' not every cover has been accompanied by a special guest. Lipa went solo for her renditions of classics from INXS, Kylie Minogue, and AC/DC.

'I think she's brilliant and such a great songwriter and that song, it hits home,' she said at the time. Lorde has been slowly emerging from solitude over the past few months as she teases the music she's been working on since 2021's Solar Power. In September, she joined Charli XCX on stage at Madison Square Garden to perform their 'Girl, so confusing' remix from Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat. Lipa also appeared on that record for a remix of 'Talk Talk.' Lipa shared during a recent performance that the covers portion of her set is quickly becoming one of her favorite parts of the show. The Radical Optimism tour continues later this week with a second show at Auckland's Spark Arena, which wraps the first leg of the tour. Lipa will pick back up in Spain on May 11. 'You make the album, you promote it, you go on tour, you do the same thing, and that's so amazing, but I think there's going to come a point where maybe I want to take just a little bit longer [in between],' Lipa told Rolling Stone last year. 'I have all these other things that I can also do that really interest me.'
