Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper's 'Shallow' Surges to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100, Fueled by Oscars Gains




Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow" blasts from No. 21 to No. 1 for its first week atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. "Shallow" surges following the 91st Academy Awards Feb. 24, when the pair performed the ballad, from the box office hit A Star Is Born, in which they star and which Cooper directed, and it won for best original song.

"Shallow," Gaga's fourth Hot 100 No. 1, and first since 2011, and Cooper's first, dethrones Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" after five weeks atop the chart.
Meanwhile, as "Shallow" is the top-selling song of the week and "Rings" is the most-streamed, Halsey's former Hot 100 No. 1 "Without Me," now at No. 3, takes over as the most-heard hit on radio.
Plus, J. Cole's "Middle Child" returns to the Hot 100's top five (11-5) after the premiere of its official video and Blueface earns his first top 10, with "Thotiana" (13-9).
Gaga and Cooper's "Shallow," released on Interscope Records, vaults to the Hot 100's summit for the first time, from No. 21 in its 22nd week on the list. It had previously hit a No. 5 high, in its second frame (Oct. 20, 2018). It becomes the 1,084th No. 1 in the chart's 60-year history.

Gaga earns her fourth Hot 100 No. 1 and first in nearly eight years, since "Born This Way," which led for six weeks in February-April 2011. "Poker Face" ruled for a week in April 2009 after her debut entry "Just Dance," featuring Colby O'Donis, tallied three weeks on top in January 2009. Cooper achieves his first Hot 100 leader.
Gaga ends the longest gap between Hot 100 No. 1s since Beyoncé, who waited two weeks shy of nine years between "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" in 2008-09 and "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran in 2017-18; she was credited as a co-lead on the latter song for the first five of its six weeks at No. 1, driven by its duet remix.
