\n\tEffective this week, on the first Hot 100 of Billboard\u2019s 2026 chart year, altered tiers will dictate when songs move to recurrent status following their runs on the ranking.<\/p>\n
\n\tPreviously, descending songs were removed from the Hot 100 once falling below No. 25 after 52 weeks or below No. 50 after 20 weeks. Descending songs will now depart via the following thresholds, once they are:<\/p>\n
\n\tSongs gaining below those markers will be eligible to remain on the Hot 100 on a case-by-case basis. Plus, holiday classics will qualify to return above No. 50 regardless of total chart weeks, and then be subject to the rules noted above upon their descents; the same for newly-surging non-holiday catalog songs, with those without significant chart history eligible to debut at any rank, as considered individually. Songs will also continue to be removed from the all-format Radio Songs chart once they go recurrent on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n
\n\tNotably, amid the takeover of streaming during the past decade, the Hot 100 has reflected repeat listening more than ever before. Concurrently, as reflected on Billboard airplay charts, radio stations are now generally holding onto hits longer and in frequent airplay rotations. That shift has resulted in charts that move more slowly than in the past.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe latest adjustments will alleviate congestion in various regions of the Hot 100, helping to move out songs that have gone recurrent at radio formats and\/or are no longer actively being promoted by labels for DSP playlisting.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn especially recent years, songs have logged some of the longest Hot 100 runs to date, led by Teddy Swims\u2019 \u201cLose Control,\u201d which leaves the Oct. 25 chart after a record<\/a> 112-week stay. Other hits that move to recurrent status this week include Benson Boone\u2019s \u201cBeautiful Things,\u201d after 89 weeks, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cDie With a Smile,\u201d after 60.<\/p>\n
