“Housewife” is officially Tate McRae’s first No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart as a lead artist, and she got there in a big way: 22.9 million U.S. streams in the week ending Oct. 22, according to Luminate. It’s her second time topping that chart overall, after her feature on Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want” spent six weeks at No. 1 in 2025. Her previous best as a lead act was “Tit for Tat” at No. 2, so this one clears the bar in a major way.

The song also debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her highest-charting single as a lead act. All signs point to “Housewife” leading her fourth studio album, which doesn’t have a release date yet. Her last album, “So Close to What,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in March 2025, so expectations for the follow-up are already sky-high. There’s also a small chart ripple worth noting: Ella Langley’s record-tying run with “Choosin’ Texas” has come to an end, shaking up the top of the streaming leaderboard.

So what does this mean for McRae’s next chapter? A streaming No. 1 and a Hot 100 peak as a lead artist is the kind of momentum that makes an album rollout feel like an event. If “Housewife” is the opening act, the next era could be her biggest yet. Are you team “Housewife,” or did another Tate track get your repeat plays this week? Tell us in the comments.
