This market will resolve to “Yes” if any song by the listed artist is the number 1 song in any official weekly Billboard Hot 100 songs chart released for a data collection reference period entirely between January 1 and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Any song released with the listed artist as a primary artist will count, including songs released before 2026. If a song is released jointly by multiple artists credited equally as primary artists, it will count for all of them. Features, writing credits, production credits, or other forms of non-primary contributions to a song will not count. Artist attribution will be determined solely by the artists displayed by Billboard on the relevant chart. Billboard updates its Hot 100 songs chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data collected in the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then titled “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. The first Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will be the chart titled “Week of January 17, 2026” for a data collection reference period of January 2-8, 2026. The final Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will be the Chart titled “Week of January 9, 2027” for a data collection reference period of December 25-31, 2026. Updates or revisions made within this market’s timeframe to the #1-ranked song on previously published Billboard Hot 100 charts will be considered; however, such updates will not disqualify a previously published Billboard Hot 100 #1 song from counting. If a Billboard Hot 100 #1 song is revised after initial publication, both the originally published #1 song and the revised #1 song will count for this market. Updates or revisions made after the release of the final Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will not be considered. The resolution source for this market will be the weekly Billboard Hot 100 songs charts published each week at https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/ and through other official Billboard channels.As of mid-August 2026, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 17 weeks, giving the country newcomer her first chart-topper and highlighting how streaming and radio can sustain a debut hit. Ten artists overall have reached No. 1 this year, including Taylor Swift with five weeks, Bruno Mars with three, and shorter runs from Drake, Mariah Carey, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, BTS, and Olivia Rodrigo. Ariana Grande’s new entries like “Hate That I Made You Love Me” and “Petal” show ongoing momentum from major pop releases, while Morgan Wallen’s rising track signals potential country crossover strength. Fall album drops, holiday streaming surges, and any late-year blockbusters will determine which additional artists crack the top spot before year-end.
