Filipino-American singer Olivia Rodrigo has made a triumphant return as her latest single, “Vampire,” stormed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This marks Rodrigo’s third consecutive No. 1 hit, following the massive success of “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U” earlier this year.
“Vampire,” which caused Spotify to crash on June 30 as eager fans flooded the platform to listen to the song, serves as the lead single from Rodrigo’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Guts, set to be released on September 8.
According to data from Billboard and Luminate, “Vampire” garnered an impressive 35.5 million streams and received 26.3 million radio airplay audience impressions. Additionally, the single sold 26,000 copies in its first week, concluding on July 6.
“AHHHHH IM SO EXCITED AB THIS!!! thank you x1000 to everyone who bought and streamed vampire I love you!!!! and thank u to my amazing team!!!! Ahhhh!!!!” the 20-year-old pop star wrote in her post on Instagram on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) to celebrate her third leader on the Billboard tally.
Solidifying Rodrigo’s position as one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, the singer has now become the first artist in history to debut the lead singles from two career-opening albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Her first album, Sour, took the world by storm with the breakout hit “Drivers License,” propelling her to superstardom. With “Vampire,” Rodrigo continues to captivate listeners with her raw and emotionally charged songwriting.
The track showcases her unique ability to convey vulnerability and strength through her music, resonating deeply with fans around the globe.
