Justin Bieber Hits No. 1 on Pop Airplay Chart With ‘Daisies,’ Ties This Bruno Mars Record

Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” blossoms as his 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, rising a spot to the top of the list dated Oct. 18.

Bieber ties Bruno Mars for the most leaders among solo males over the Pop Airplay chart’s history, which dates to October 1992. Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Rihanna also each have 11 No. 1s — second only to Taylor Swift’s record 13.

“Daisies,” on JRC/ILH/Def Jam/Republic, returns Bieber to the Pop Airplay summit for the first time in more than three-and-a-half years, since “Ghost” in February 2022. He extends his span of leaders to a week shy of a decade, after he first reigned with “What Do You Mean?” in late October 2015.

The Pop Airplay chart ranks songs by weekly plays on more than 150 mainstream top 40 radio stations monitored by Mediabase, with data provided to Billboard by Luminate.

Here’s a rundown of Bieber’s 11 Pop Airplay No. 1s:

“Daisies” is from Bieber’s album SWAG, which in July launched as his 12th top 10 on the Billboard 200. The song became his 27th top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, as he tied Janet Jackson for the 10th-most top 10s in the chart’s 67-year archives.

Also notably, “Daisies” slays Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which drops to No. 2 after it led Pop Airplay for a record 16 weeks, surpassing Ace of Base’s “The Sign” (14 weeks, 1994) for the all-time mark.

All charts dated Oct. 18 will update Tuesday, Oct. 14, on Billboard.com.
