The Global Airplay Top 50 returns for Week 43 of 2026, and the battle for worldwide radio supremacy is getting increasingly interesting. 🌍📻 The entire Top 5 remains unchanged this week, but beneath that remarkably stable summit there is plenty of movement, including two new entries, several strong climbers and one particularly impressive jump from Ashe. We begin, as always, at No. 50 and count our way toward the song ruling global airplay.
BTS open this week’s countdown at No. 50 with “Swim,” followed by Shakira & Maluma’s “Agua” at No. 49 and Zara Larsson’s “Lush Life” at No. 48. Then comes our first brand-new arrival: Tate McRae enters at No. 47 with “Housewife.” Released in mid-October, the single marked McRae’s first new music following her No. 1 album So Close To What, and its cinematic video explores fame, independence and the tension between freedom and love. McRae also performed the song at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, giving the release another high-profile boost.
At No. 46 comes the week’s second new entry — and another fascinating pop story. ADÉLA debuts with “Nicole Kidman,” giving her two simultaneous songs on the Global Airplay Top 50. The track appears on her debut album PRIMA, released in September, and was produced by Blake Slatkin and Dylan Brady. Its striking Hannah Lux Davis-directed video arrived alongside the album, while the song has also developed significant traction on short-form video platforms. Even Nicole Kidman herself was recently seen enjoying the song at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Malcolm Todd follows at No. 45 with “Earrings,” while Jamie Miller’s “Babydoll” rises to No. 44. The Bausa takes No. 43 with “Magnetic,” Ariana Grande’s “Petal” lands at No. 42 and Ella Langley appears with her second charting song, “Loving Life Again,” at No. 41. Taylor Swift begins another formidable multi-song showing with “Opalite” at No. 40.
Ed Sheeran & Martin Garrix take No. 39 with “Repeat It,” while Morgan Wallen’s “Been By Now” moves to No. 38. Then comes one of Week 43’s most eye-catching performances: Ashe surges from No. 48 to No. 37 with “Stop The Wedding!”, an eleven-position leap in only its second week on the chart. Sombr follows with “Homewrecker” at No. 36, Harry Styles takes No. 35 with “American Girls,” and Alex Warren places “Emerald Eyes” at No. 34.
HUNTR/X remain present with “Golden” at No. 33, while Raye’s wonderfully titled “Where Is My Husband!” reaches No. 32. ANOTR & 54 Ultra take No. 31 with “Talk To You,” before Jason Derulo, Melody & DJ Goja open the Top 30 with “Mi Chico [Remix].” Bebe Rexha & Faithless follow at No. 29 with “New Religion,” Bruno Mars takes No. 28 with “Risk It All,” and Taylor Swift earns another appearance at No. 27 with “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” holds No. 26 — giving Week 43 the unusual situation of two completely different songs called “Babydoll” appearing in the same Top 50 — while Sienna Spiro reaches No. 25 with “Great Expectation.” Zara Larsson takes No. 24 with “Midnight Sun,” Alex Warren’s enduring “Ordinary” is at No. 23, and Tame Impala places “Loser” at No. 22. Taylor Swift then reaches No. 21 with “The Fate Of Ophelia.”
The Top 20 begins with Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need,” while Adéla climbs to No. 19 with “Ain’t In LA.” Olivia Rodrigo occupies back-to-back positions with “Stupid Song” at No. 18 and “Drop Dead” at No. 17. Karol G, rusowsky & Judeline move up to No. 16 with “BbY WOW,” while Alex Warren’s “Fever Dream” advances to No. 15. Olivia Dean follows at No. 14 with “So Easy (To Fall In Love),” and Temper City remains firmly in the conversation with “Self Aware” at No. 13.
Hugel, Imael Angel & Ultra Naté take No. 12 with “Movin’ To The Sun,” while Sombr sits just outside the elite ten with “My Body Isn’t Ready” at No. 11. And now the countdown reaches its most competitive territory: only ten records remain in the race for the Week 43 global radio crown.
Bruno Mars begins the Top 10 with “I Just Might” at No. 10, while former No. 1 Shakira & Burna Boy take No. 9 with “Dai Dai.” Stella Lefty moves upward to No. 8 with “Boston,” and Miley Cyrus holds No. 7 with “Bass Persuades.” Ella Langley continues her impressive rise as “Choosin’ Texas” climbs from No. 8 to No. 6, putting the country hit within striking distance of the Top 5.
But breaking that Top 5 will not be easy, because every song there holds its position from last week. Ariana Grande remains at No. 5 with “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” Tame Impala & Jennie stay at No. 4 with “Dracula [Remix],” and KATSEYE keep the pressure on at No. 3 with “Animal.” That leaves the same two heavyweight contenders fighting above them.
Taylor Swift remains at No. 2 with “Patient Zero,” once again coming tantalizingly close to the summit. With four titles inside this week’s Top 50, Swift continues to display remarkable depth across global radio — but for another week, one record stands between her and the crown.
🏆 Teddy Swims remains No. 1 with “Mr. Know It All.” Week 43 therefore brings another successful defense of the Global Airplay Top 50 crown, with Taylor Swift and KATSEYE still waiting immediately behind. Yet with Ella Langley climbing, Stella Lefty gaining ground and several records moving rapidly through the chart, the race is far from settled.
Can Teddy Swims extend his reign into another week, or will “Patient Zero” finally give Taylor Swift the top spot? Could KATSEYE make the leap from No. 3 — or might Ella Langley become the surprise challenger? 🎶 Tell us which song you are supporting, share your predictions in the comments and subscribe to follow the Global Airplay Top 50 every week as the worldwide radio landscape continues to evolve.
