Miley, Madonna, ADÉLA & More: Highlights of This Week’s Billboard Charts

Billboard’s latest charts, dated Oct. 3, 2026, bring new milestones for Miley Cyrus, Madonna, ADÉLA, Ella Langley and several other artists. The rankings reflect activity during the Sept. 18-24 tracking week, according to Luminate data.

Miley Cyrus returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Something Beautiful, earning 61,000 equivalent album units in its latest week. The result gives Cyrus her sixth Billboard 200 leader and her 16th top 10 album when her Miley Cyrus, Miley and Hannah Montana credits are counted.

The new chart result also places Cyrus among artists who have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 across three different decades. She joins Madonna and Taylor Swift in that group, with Cyrus having previously topped the chart with albums including Bangerz in 2013.

Madonna adds another chart milestone this week as “Danceteria” rises five spots to No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart. The achievement gives her a 10th career leader on the chart and marks her third Dance Airplay No. 1 from her latest album, Confessions II.

Ella Langley continues her historic run with “Choosin’ Texas,” which spends a 24th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song previously moved past Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to become the longest-running No. 1 in the chart’s history.

Karol G, Judeline and rusowsky also remain at the top of Billboard’s global rankings with “BbY WOW.” The song spends a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. On the Hot 100, it rises from No. 7 to No. 6, giving Karol G a new career-best position on the chart.

ADÉLA reaches another major milestone as “Ain’t in LA” and “Nicole Kidman” place together in the top five of both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. The Slovak singer-songwriter-dancer becomes the first artist in 2026 to have two career-opening hits simultaneously occupy the top five on both global charts.

ADÉLA also posts gains on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. “Nicole Kidman” jumps from No. 27 to No. 11, while “Ain’t in LA” moves from No. 30 to No. 27, extending the artist’s growing presence across Billboard’s major rankings.

Elsewhere on the charts, jazz saxophonist Euge Groove earns his 11th No. 1 on Smooth Jazz Airplay with “The Phoenix.” Anthrax’s Cursum Perficio debuts at No. 1 on Top Hard Rock Albums and No. 27 on the Billboard 200, while A Perfect Circle’s “Starless” becomes the group’s second Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1.

Ricardo Montaner also scores his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart with “Para Que Seas Feliz.” The song benefits from a remix featuring Edén Muñoz, adding another chart achievement to Montaner’s career as the latest Billboard rankings take effect.
