Olivia Rodrigo’s new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is only about a month old. The singer-songwriter released the project in mid-June, though she began introducing the collection several months earlier via several songs.
Three singles have now been pushed from the set, and all of them have become sizable hits in America and around the world. Rodrigo quickly became a radio favorite early in her career and remains a steady hitmaker in the United States, and this frame, two-thirds of those singles climb to new high points on the same tally as she continues to straddle the line between pop and rock.
Olivia Rodrigo Sends Two Singles to New Peaks on the Pop Chart
“Drop Dead” and “Stupid Song” both improve on the Pop Airplay chart this week. The former single inches from No. 5 to a new peak of No. 4, while “Stupid Song” pushes four spaces from No. 33 to No. 29.
The 40-position ranking lists the tracks that earn the most spins at mainstream top 40 radio stations throughout the U.S., and which reach the largest audiences. It is one of three pop-focused airplay charts published by Billboard, alongside the Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary rankings. Interestingly, pop remains one of the only major genres without its own streaming tally, and for many years, there was no sales ranking devoted specifically to that style either.
Olivia Rodrigo Scores Her Fifth-Highest Pop Airplay Hit
“Drop Dead” now stands as Rodrigo’s fifth-highest-charting hit on the Pop Airplay roster. It trails four smashes that came close to — or succeeded in — taking control of the competitive radio list.
“Drivers License” and “Good 4 U” both climbed to No. 1 and spent about a month running the show. “Deja Vu” and “Vampire” stalled one space shy of the summit, peaking in the runner-up position.
“Drop Dead” Finds Its Way Into the Top 10 on the Radio Roster
The same single enters the top 10 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart, where it ascends from No. 11 to No. 9. Rodrigo lands her fifth career appearance between Nos. 1 and 10 as “Drop Dead” improves its standing. The cut also advances to No. 7 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally.
The former Billboard Hot 100 leader also steps up one position on both that ranking and the Streaming Songs rundown, landing at Nos. 12 and 14, respectively – though those are not new peaks for the tune.
Olivia Rodrigo Has Scored Eight Pop Airplay Chart Top 10s
“Stupid Song” is both Rodrigo’s shortest-running and lowest-charting Pop Airplay chart hit, though neither distinction is especially surprising, as the track has only spent two weeks on the list so far. The tune is one of only two among the Grammy winner’s 10 appearances on the ranking that have not entered the top 10. “Bad Idea Right?” peaked at No. 11, barely missing out on the region.
Here are all of Olivia Rodrigo’s top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart.
- “Deja Vu”
- “Drivers License”
- “Drop Dead”
- “Get Him Back!”
- “Good 4 U”
- “Obsessed”
- “Traitor”
- “Vampire”
“Stupid Song” is already a major success elsewhere. The track holds at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the Streaming Songs chart. It previously conquered the streaming tally, as well as both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.

Notably, “The Cure,” the second single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, has yet to appear on the Pop Airplay chart. The song arrived in May and is still counted as a hit months later. “The Cure” is still growing on several Billboard lists, as the track rises to No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and returns to the top 10 on the all-style Streaming Songs chart, where it pushes from No. 11 to No. 9.
“The Cure” climbs to No. 3 on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts, and it returns to No. 1 on the Alternative Streaming Songs ranking, where it holds as her longest-ruling smash out of several leaders.
