Kesha Claims Top Spot on One Billboard Chart for the First Time
Kesha, once a global heavyweight in the pop music scene, boasted a large catalog of hits that frequently topped the Hot 100. For a brief stint, she reeled off successive No. 1 hits.
Over a decade later, the pop star finds herself in the midst of a dance-pop resurgence. She maintains her winning streak by notching her initial No. 1 on a Billboard chart this week, thanks to an unexpected hit.
"Holiday Road" soars to No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart this time around. The track marks Kesha's first to secure the top spot on Billboard's list of the most-streamed dance and electronic tracks in the U.S.
This week, "Holiday Road" - a Spotify Singles original - ascends from No. 3 to the pinnacle of the dance and electronic music streaming chart. It achieves the top spot in its fourth week on the ranking, making for a rapid ascent to the summit.
Some devoted followers of the superstar might be taken aback to learn that she's only now claiming the No. 1 spot for the first time, but Kesha's ascent on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart is far from over. The chart didn't exist when she released her famous electronic smash hits, which dominated other Billboard rankings when they first surfaced.
Kesha bagged her first hit on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart just a few months prior. The upbeat "Joyride," a preview of her impending sixth full-length album, which remains untitled, debuted this summer. The track remained on the list for nine weeks, peaking at No. 4, earning Kesha her first top 10 on the chart.
"Holiday Road," while not an original composition of Kesha's, gets a fresh spin from her, helping it secure a spot on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart. The track was initially popularized by Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame, who released the tune years ago.
As it takes the No. 1 spot on the dance chart, Kesha's "Holiday Road" also debuts on four other Billboard rankings, including the Hot 100, Holiday 100, and both of the company's worldwide lists. It almost attains the top spot on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart simultaneously, though it falls short by a single position, securing a new peak of No. 2 instead.
