Tate McRae has a new personal best on home soil. Her single "Housewife" is spending a third week atop the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, the chart dated Nov. 14, according to Billboard Canada. That run outlasts her earlier high of two weeks at No. 1 with 2023's "Greedy."
Why the Canadian milestone matters
McRae was born in Calgary but now lives in the United States, so the result is a strong showing in the market where she started. The song, described by Billboard Canada as an empowerment pop anthem, got an early boost from a live performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October. It leads the campaign for her fourth studio album.
How is the song doing worldwide?
The track is also No. 1 for a third week on two Billboard global rankings, one covering all territories and one excluding the U.S. Luminate data for Oct. 30 to Nov. 5 shows 48.8 million streams and 2,000 sales worldwide, with 37.2 million streams coming from outside the U.S. Both figures fell from the prior week, yet the lead held.
In the U.S., the picture is different. "Housewife" entered the Hot 100 at No. 2 and remains below Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas," which holds No. 1 for a record 27th week.
What else is moving on the charts?
Competition below McRae is steady. Karol G, Judeline and rusowsky's "BbY WOW" is No. 2 on the global chart, with ADÉLA's "Nicole Kidman" at No. 3. The tracking week that included Halloween lifted Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to a new Global 200 high of No. 4, helped by a biopic and an album reissue.
Other Canadian acts are also gaining ground on the domestic chart:
- Owen Riegling debuts at No. 80 with "Me Without My Hometown."
- Josh Ross enters at No. 85 with "Drink Things Through."
- Faouzia rises to No. 58 with "Unethical."
