On May 1st, Noah Cajon's The Great Divide just locked in its 11th week at number 1 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Airplay Chart, dated May, 9th. That makes it the longest running top spot this decade and the longest in nearly 10 years. It ties the 11 week run that Portugal, the man had with Felix Still back in 2017. So far this decade, only 3 tracks have hit 10 or more weeks up there, including this one and 2 from Hozier. All time, U2's Beautiful Day still owns the record with 16 weeks starting in 2000. For Cajon, this more than doubles his old best of 5 weeks with Northern Attitude featuring Hozier last year. Meanwhile, the song's climbing other charts too, hitting number 19 on Adult Pop Airplay and jumping to number 25 on Pop Airplay. It's prime for a hot 100 boost this week, as Cajon's album of the same name drops his debut numbers after releasing April 24th.

Charts Update Tuesday on Billboard.com, so keep an eye on where The Great Divide heads next in this hot streak. This has been Music News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
