Tuesday is new Billboard chart day each week! As all charts update each Tuesday morning, here’s a look at highlights of the latest rankings, dated Aug. 8 and reflecting the July 24-30 measurement week, according to data tracker Luminate.
Among this week’s chart stars are Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen, Charli xcx, Madonna and Tyla.
Plus, KATSEYE claims its first top 10 on the Billboard Global 200 with the debut of “Animal.” The song bounds in at No. 10 with 29.8 million streams and 3,000 sold worldwide in its first week. Notably, Ed Sheeran, among others, cowrote the single — as he did Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026),” which rules the list for a fourth week.
“I heard KATSEYE’s song ‘Gnarly’ last year when I was in Mexico and loved it,” Sheeran wrote on Instagram (July 28), alongside a behind-the-scenes clip documenting the making of the new single. “Said I was a fan and reached out to them to see if I could write them a song. We’ve created ‘Animal’ together … hope you all love it.”
In May 2025, “Gnarly” brought KATSEYE its first Billboard Hot 100 appearance. Since then, the act has notched five consecutive top 40 hits, all of which have peaked this year: “Gabriella” (No. 21), “Internet Girl” (No. 29), “Pinky Up” (No. 28), “Iconic by Mistake,” with LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT (No. 38), and now “Animal,” which debuts at No. 24, marking the group’s highest entrance to date.
