No.1 War Still On As Rap Steps Back, R&B Steps Up

Taylor Swift and HUNTR/X go head-to-head again this week as “Golden” benefits from Halloween momentum, but “The Fate of Ophelia” still holds the crown for now — with Taylor’s possible drops possibly securing another week at No.1.

Meanwhile, rap tries to come back on charts with Megan Thee Stallion as R&B steps into the space — with Kehlani scoring her breakthrough Top 10 with “Folded,” Leon Thomas inside the Top 10, and Olivia Dean rising into the Top 5.

We also cover the arrival of new AI artist Xania Monet on Billboard’s R&B and Gospel charts, radio’s continued outsized influence on Top 15 stability, looming Grammy nominations, Rosalía and Katy Perry returning, and the early Christmas takeover creeping in right after Halloween.
