## Key points

- Tate McRae’s “Housewife” has the strongest early momentum.
- “Expectations” combines the remix with Rodrigo’s existing hit.
- Bryan and Del Rey’s “Lies” has drawn buzz but little radio play.

## Summary

Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo with Chappell Roan, and Zach Bryan with Lana Del Rey have all released new tracks that could challenge Taylor Swift and Ella Langley on next week’s Billboard Hot 100. The competition matters because the chart has been dominated by Swift and Langley, and a new No. 1 would end a run in which neither has been displaced since June.

McRae’s “Housewife” has the early lead, topping US Spotify and Apple Music charts and earning 8.4 million in radio airplay audience from Friday to Monday. Rodrigo and Roan’s “Expectations” remix benefits from the original’s existing chart history: the song has spent 18 weeks on the Hot 100, and both versions count together; its remix debuted at No. 3 on US Spotify. Bryan and Del Rey’s “Lies” drew attention but had negligible radio airplay, while the article notes it traded places with “Housewife” atop Apple Music’s real-time chart.
