Credited with 5,671 spins (+87), Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow’s “INDUSTRY BABY” holds at #2. The aforementioned “Way 2 Sexy” rises three spots to #3 on the rhythmic chart, while Pop Smoke’s “Woo Baby (featuring Chris Brown)” rises one spot to #4.

Doja Cat & The Weeknd’s “You Right” concurrently falls two places to #5.
