Regard, Troye Sivan and Tate McRae debut at No. 4 on Billboard’s multimetric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated May 1) with “You.” It ties for the highest start this year, after DJ Snake and Selena Gomez’s “Selfish Love” in March.
“I still love ‘You’ as much as after I finished it,” Regard tells Billboard. “‘You’ is a relatable and real love story for everyone in our lives. Troye is such a talented artist and Tate has angelic vocals.”
“You” is the third top 10 on the tally for Regard, following “Ride It.” (No. 3, 2019) and “Secrets,” with Raye (No. 8, 2020). “You” is the first top 10 for both Sivan and McRae. The track earned 3.7 million U.S. streams and 938,000 radio audience impressions and sold 2,500 downloads in its first tracking week, according to MRC Data.
“You” also debuts on a host of other Billboard charts, including Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (No. 3), Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs (No. 5) and Pop Airplay (No. 40).
The trio’s track also begins at No. 13 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, earning early core-dance play on iHeartRadio’s Pride Radio, KQPS (Channel Q) Palm Springs, California, and KNHC (C89.5) Seattle, among others. (The Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart measures radio airplay on a select group of full-time dance stations, along with plays during mix shows on nearly 80 top 40-formatted reporters.)
Meanwhile, Steve Aoki and Kiiara cruise into the top 10 of the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart with “Used to Be,” featuring Wiz Khalifa (13-10). The veteran Aoki’s sixth top 10, “Used” is the first each for Kiiara and Wiz Khalifa. The track posted a 73% gain to 2 million domestic streams.
Returning to Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Alesso and Armin van Buuren bolt 13-5 with “Leave a Little Love.” Alesso’s 10th top 10, “Love” marks the eighth for van Buuren and his highest position in nearly seven years, since his trance hit “This Is What It Feels Like,” featuring Trevor Guthrie, hit No. 4 in July 2013. “Love” locks in core-dance play at Music Choice’s Dance/EDM channel, KMVQ-HD2 San Francisco and iHeartRadio’s Evolution Network.
