'A Star Is Born' Hit "Shallow" Lands No.1 on Billboard Hot 100

hollywoodreporter.com: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow" blasts from No. 21 to No. 1 for its first week atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. "Shallow" surges following the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 24, when the pair performed the ballad from the box office hit A Star Is Born, in which they star and which Cooper directed, and it won for best original song.

"Shallow" — Gaga's fourth Hot 100 No. 1 and first since 2011, and Cooper's first — dethrones Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" after five weeks atop the chart.

Meanwhile, as "Shallow" is the top-selling song of the week and "Rings" is the most-streamed, Halsey's former Hot 100 No. 1 "Without Me," now at No. 3, takes over as the most-heard hit on radio.

Plus, J. Cole's "Middle Child" returns to the Hot 100's top five (up from No. 11 to No. 5) after the premiere of its official video and Blueface earns his first top 10, with "Thotiana" (up from No. 13 to No. 9).

The following is a rundown of the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated March 9), which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. All charts will update Tuesday on Billboard.com.

Gaga and Cooper's "Shallow," released on Interscope Records, vaults to the Hot 100's summit for the first time, from No. 21 in its 22nd week on the list. It had previously hit a No. 5 high, in its second frame (Oct. 20, 2018). It becomes the 1,084th No. 1 in the chart's 60-year history.

Gaga earns her fourth Hot 100 No. 1 and first in nearly eight years, since "Born This Way," which led for six weeks in February-April 2011. "Poker Face" ruled for two weeks in April 2009 after her debut entry "Just Dance," featuring Colby O'Donis, tallied three weeks on top in January 2009. Cooper achieves his first Hot 100 leader.

Gaga ends the longest gap between Hot 100 No. 1s since Beyoncé, who waited two weeks shy of nine years between "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" in 2008-09 and "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran in 2017-18; she was credited as a co-lead on the latter song for the first five of its six weeks at No. 1, driven by its duet remix. At 22 weeks, "Shallow" ties for the 10th-longest climb to No. 1 on the Hot 100, matching the rise of "Just Dance" (and Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire," which led in 1982). Los Del Rio's "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)" completed a record 33-week trek to the top in 1996.

Flying up from No. 21, "Shallow" makes the biggest jump to No. 1 on the Hot 100 since XXXTentacion's "Sad!" soared from No. 52 to No. 1 on the June 30, 2018-dated chart, following the rapper's June 18 death. ("Shallow" is the second song ever to hike exactly from No. 21 to No. 1, after Usher's "U Remind Me" in 2001.)

No. 1 in sales: "Shallow" rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, for a seventh total week on top (extending Gaga's longest command of her six career No. 1s on the chart), up 225 percent to 115,000 sold in the week ending Feb. 28, according to Nielsen Music. The sum is the best since Drake's "In My Feelings" also sold 115,000 (although slightly more than "Shallow" before rounding off), as reflected on the chart dated last July 28; a week later, it sold 104,000, the last frame in which a song sold over 100,000 until "Shallow." (Thus, this weekends a span of 30 weeks without a six-digit seller; in brighter days for download sales, the top-selling song sold at least 100,000 each week from Feb. 10, 2007 through Sept. 5, 2015.)

The first week in Streaming Songs top 10: "Shallow" re-enters the Streaming Songs chart at No. 9, marking its first week in the top 10 (27.3 million, up 185 percent, in the week ending Feb. 28), after reaching a prior No. 28 high in October. Aiding the song's streaming sum for the week was the video, uploaded to Gaga's official YouTube channel, of her and Cooper's performance of it at the Oscars. She adds her third Streaming Songs top 10 and fi
