Last week, her third album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love debuted at No. 1 on half a dozen rankings, including the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums lists. You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is steady atop each and every one of those tallies, and all of the dozen-plus songs featured on its track list remain hits as well. <\/p>\n<p>Amidst her continued success, Rodrigo only manages to command two of Billboard\u2019s songs charts. As she holds in first place on one of those tallies, the singer-songwriter ties her own longest winning streak, a feat she may pass in only a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Rodrigo Leads the Alternative Chart With &#8220;The Cure&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rodrigo&#8217;s <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B402rKl4bUg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B402rKl4bUg\" aria-label=\"&quot;The Cure,&quot;\">&#8220;The Cure,&#8221;<\/a> which was released as the second official single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love less than a month before the project dropped, can be found on seven rosters published by Billboard, and it rules one of them. &#8220;The Cure&#8221; is steady at No. 1 on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/alternative-streaming-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/alternative-streaming-songs\/\" aria-label=\"Alternative Streaming Songs\">Alternative Streaming Songs<\/a> ranking, which lists only the most-played alternative tracks on platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal and others. As of this frame, &#8220;The Cure&#8221; has now spent five weeks \u2013 the entirety of its run on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart \u2013 in the penthouse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cure&#8221; Ties Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s No. 1 Record<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cure&#8221; is one of three No. 1s Rodrigo has collected on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart, and as of this period, it is tied as her sturdiest winner. &#8220;Bad Idea, Right?&#8221; opened at the summit in August 2023 and similarly went on to spend a month running the show. The Grammy winner&#8217;s first ruler, &#8220;Brutal,&#8221; which launched atop the ranking in June 2021, only held in that space for a pair of moments. <\/p>\n<p>Interest in all things Rodrigo and You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love remains incredibly high, as the album is still new. There&#8217;s a very good chance that when Billboard publishes its charts again in a few days, &#8220;The Cure&#8221; will once again hold atop the Alternative Streaming Songs rundown. If that turns out to be the case, it will pass &#8220;Bad Idea, Right?&#8221; and become her longest-running No. 1 yet.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Rodrigo Blocks Herself from a New No. 1<\/p>\n<p>For the second week in a row, Rodrigo occupies the highest two spaces on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart. &#8220;The Cure&#8221; once again blocks fellow You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love tune <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lwiQSOaI_XE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lwiQSOaI_XE\" aria-label=\"&quot;Maggots for Brains&quot;\">&#8220;Maggots for Brains&#8221;<\/a> from becoming her fourth career leader. The album cut launched in second place only a few days ago, and is unable to best &#8220;The Cure,&#8221; which has plenty of promotional might behind it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maggots for Brains&#8221; Ties \u201cGet Him Back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maggots for Brains&#8221; is one of only a pair of tracks by Rodrigo that have failed to conquer the Alternative Streaming Songs chart by just a single rung. &#8220;Get Him Back!&#8221; began its time on the genre-focused tally at No. 2 back in September 2023. It never pushed its way to the top spot in the 22 weeks it spent on the streaming roster.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Rodrigo Fills Eight Spaces on the Alternative Tally<\/p>\n<p>The Alternative Streaming Songs chart features 25 spaces, and this week, Rodrigo fills nearly one-third of them. Eight tracks, all taken from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, remain streaming smashes. Half a dozen live within the top 10. <\/p>\n<p>Here is a look at where all of Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s cuts land on this week&#8217;s Alternative Streaming Songs chart.<\/p>\n<p>No. 1 &#8211; &#8220;The Cure&#8221;No. 2 &#8211; &#8220;Maggots for Brains&#8221;No. 4 &#8211; &#8220;Expectations&#8221;No. 5 &#8211; &#8220;My Way&#8221;No. 6 &#8211; &#8220;What\u2019s Wrong With Me&#8221; with Robert SmithNo. 7 &#8211; &#8220;U + Me = &lt;3&#8243;No. 11 &#8211; &#8220;Cigarette Smoke&#8221;No. 13 &#8211; &#8220;Purple&#8221;&#8221;Stupid Song&#8221; Rules Billboard\u2019s Worldwide Chart<\/p>\n<p>Rodrigo also sits at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, which details the most-consumed songs all around the planet. <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ngyaXb9BohU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ngyaXb9BohU\" aria-label=\"&quot;Stupid Song,&quot;\">&#8220;Stupid Song,&#8221;<\/a> the third single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, opened at No. 1 last frame and is once again the leader. That&#8217;s the only other Billboard roster where Rodrigo sits in the top spot, and &#8220;Stupid Song&#8221; is now one of four multi-week rulers on the Billboard Global 200. Only &#8220;Drop Dead&#8221; managed a single stint in the penthouse.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/03\/olivia-rodrigos-new-album-has-already-beaten-her-previous-blockbuster\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s New Album Has Already Beaten Her Previous Blockbuster\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/03\/olivia-rodrigos-new-album-has-already-beaten-her-previous-blockbuster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesOlivia Rodrigo\u2019s New Album Has Already Beaten Her Previous BlockbusterBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s single &#8220;The Cure&#8221; ties as her longest-running No. 1 on Billboard&#8217;s Alternative Streaming Songs chart, matching&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":783963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[277340,49,48,75,341,42651,277342,277344,277343,258563,277341,258564,258566,263668],"class_list":["post-783962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-alternative-streaming-songs","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-olivia-rodrigo","tag-olivia-rodrigo-maggots-for-brains","tag-olivia-rodrigo-maggots-for-brains-billboard","tag-olivia-rodrigo-maggots-for-brains-charts","tag-olivia-rodrigo-the-cure","tag-olivia-rodrigo-the-cure-billboard","tag-olivia-rodrigo-the-cure-charts","tag-olivia-rodrigo-the-cure-number-one","tag-you-seem-pretty-sad-for-a-girl-so-in-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=783962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=783962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=783962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
