'Drop Dead' debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” opened at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, extending a streak that now covers the lead singles from her first three albums. (billboard.com) Billboard said “Drop Dead” is Rodrigo’s fourth Hot 100 leader, after “Drivers License” in 2021, “Good 4 U” in 2021 and “Vampire” in 2023. All four began at No. 1. (billboard.com) In its first tracking week, the single drew 27.9 million official U.S. streams, 23.8 million radio airplay audience impressions and 45,000 sales. It also debuted at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, No. 22 on Radio Songs and No. 1 on Digital Song Sales. (billboard.com) The chart run gives Rodrigo a specific Billboard first: no artist before her had debuted the lead singles from their first three studio albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100. “Drop Dead” is the lead single from her third album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*. (billboard.com) (oliviarodrigo.com) That album is scheduled for June 12, 2026, and Billboard said Rodrigo performed “Drop Dead” live at Coachella on April 18 after releasing multiple versions of the song and its videos.
