Here's the chart run for "Levitating" by Dua Lipa f/DaBaby as of this past weekend: 28 23 20 17 14 12 13 9 9 5 5 5 4 5 7 7 6 9 10 14 19 23 24 25 28 31 32 32 35 25 12. This past weekend and the weekend before, it was the fastest riser. I knew there was a thread for this; I had noticed that with "Levitating" the last two shows. It'll be interesting to see where this latest run takes it. Fun song. Currently it's at #2 in Mediabase and making the biggest gains of anything in the top 10. So it soon could very well be #1.

What could be causing this sudden rebound, and a rather quick one at that? Surely it was pretty popular during the winter, dropped during the spring (almost out of the 40), and now looking like it will have another run this summer. Should be interesting to watch...may eclipse its previous peak of #4 on AT40. It's a catchy track; I really like it.
While some songs had "second lives", I don't remember any having this kind of rebound...I know "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by BTO was in a class of its own, although that rebound was very short-lived...and the chart dynamics of 1974 (particularly late in the year), well, what else can one say about them that hasn't already been said?

From everything I have read or seen, her performance of "Levitating" on the Grammys has led to a resurgence of the song, espeically on TikTok and particularly with people emulating and making their own dances up to the song. Of course that explains why it began to boomerang on the Hot 100, but not exactly for Mediabase or AT 40. I assume that the resurgence of the song via social media flooded into mainstream music as well. I for one am glad to see it. As others have said, the song is a great pop song that is really catchy, even in week 31 of its chart run!

What about the unexpected second life of "In Da Club" by 50 Cent when Ryan Seacrest took over Casey Kasem for AT40 in 2004? Casey in 2003 was using the Radio & Records pop chart which had a recurrent rule; if a song fell below a certain position after a certain number of weeks then it was pulled off. (Mediabase has a similar rule now for its official published chart, but not AT40's). When Ryan took over AT40 they went to and still use the Mediabase survey without a recurrent rule in which songs can stay on indefinitely; if that had been in use under Casey then "In Da Club" would probably have stayed on continuously into 2004, which would have amounted to over a year in total. In Mediabase's current practice "Levitating" went recurrent and so was pulled from the official weekly chart until being somewhat belatedly reinstated a couple of weeks ago, and when it was it was immediately placed in the top 5. On AT40 it moved down the chart before U-turning, but never completely fell off.

(Mediabase has a similar rule now for its official published chart, but not AT40's). The rule should still be #10/20 weeks, correct? With extended time granted for those who've been charting longer but don't reach the Top 10, but after 20 weeks, if they start falling before ever reaching the Top 10, they're allowed only one bulletless week - the second bulletless week in a row prompts removal. (Example: Vance Joy's "Riptide" in 2015, which peaked at #18.) I believe this is what it's been since April 2012. Incidentally, Billboard's Mainstream chart has had more iron-clad rules over its lifespan - #20/26 weeks through the 2005 chart year (ended: 11/26/05), then 20/20 through the 2010 chart year (ended: 11/27/10), and it's been 15/20 ever since. No additional clauses to that, aside from a song can stay however long provided it's not losing spins. And, obviously, cases like "Levitating" are evaluated individually, but things like that never fall "neatly" into place no matter what the established rules are.

Here's "Levitating"'s run on Mediabase HAC. It actually fell below #10 and should have been removed to recurrent, but Mediabase kept it on. Now it's going to be #1.
27-26-21-19-16-15-14-14-12-12-11-11-9-8-6-6-6-4-3-2-3-3-5-5-7-9-10-11-9-9-3-3-2-(1)

What about the unexpected second life of "In Da Club" by 50 Cent when Ryan Seacrest took over Casey Kasem for AT40 in 2004? Wasn't that due to the show switching to a different chart methodology?

One other thing I will make note of with regards to "Levitating": It's definitely the bigger markets/stations driving its resurgence.
I'm not able to look at the Mediabase breakdown further - but on Billboard, it's up at #2 on their Mainstream chart, while on their Indicator chart (stations in the smallest areas), it's actually still recurrent but if it were charting, it'd only be #10.

Go Dua Lipa! She's the best female pop artist since Madonna!

As of this past weekend, "Levitating" makes another big leap to #4, and just three weeks ago, it was #35, after many weeks of dropping after its #4 peak in late winter.
I admit, when Dua Lipa's music came out, I didn't get into it right away. Then into the chart run of "New Rules", I started listening more. I really like "One Kiss" and "Break My Heart", but "Levitating" isn't far behind. She's got good tunes.

Well, "Levitating" is the brand new #1 song this weekend on AT40 (and Ryan wasn't even around to intro it). But that's gotta be a first, isn't it? All this taking place in the very same chart run. Truly amazing, and this will definitely propel it to a very high year-end ranking.
In the meantime, her follow-up, "We're Good", must've been good with a #10 peak a few weeks back, and is going the other direction. It'll probably be off AT40 before the end of this month.

5/31/75: "Philadelphia Freedom" bounced from #15 to #12, then to #10, then to #9. This after sliding 1-2-4-7-11-15. As I recall it, that (probably) happened because Elton's new LP Capt Fantastic... came out that month -- and when word got out that "Philly Freedom" was *NOT* on the album, a lot of folks went out to buy the 45, sending it back up the chart.
