The single previously surpassed the run of Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves,' which ran up 91 weeks in 2021-22, for the most time spent on the chart dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception.
Starting its run of a hot 100 weeks on the survey, 'Lose Control' debuted, at No. 99, on the chart dated Aug. 26, 2023. It led for a week in March 2024, and became the year's No. 1 song. It ranks at No. 9 on the latest list.
The soulful smash has also amassed a record 70 weeks in the Hot 100's top 10. (Songs have generally logged longer runs on the chart, and at No. 1 and in the top 10, since it adopted electronically tracked Luminate data in November 1991. The three longest-charting hits have all peaked this decade, while the top 10 such titles have hit their highs from 2008 on.)
Along the way, 'Lose Control,' on SWIMS Int./Warner Records, has also ruled the following Billboard charts: the all-format Radio Songs and Digital Song Sales tallies, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay and Pop Airplay. It also hit No. 2 on Adult Alternative Airplay and the top five on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
'Lose Control' has even outlasted two follow-up Teddy Swims singles that also each hit the Hot 100's top 40: 'The Door' (No. 24 peak, last October) and 'Bad Dreams' (No. 30, this May). Both songs also reached the top 10 on Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay. Another of the singer-songwriter's hits, 'Are You Even Real,' with Giveon, led Adult R&B Airplay in April.
'Teddy Swims is a once-in-a-generation talent who defies genres, making him truly unique in today's music landscape,' Warner evp of promotion and commerce Mike Chester told Billboard last year. 'When we began promoting 'Lose Control,' our journey was carefully planned. From the start, we noticed that the song was resonating in various pockets of culture, creating a strong and diverse fanbase.'
The artist born Jaten Dimsdale, in Conyers Ga., in 1992, and who made his overall Billboard chart debut in 2021, was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards this year. 'I love always watching your updates,' he mused of Billboard News' weekly recap of the Hot 100's top 10. 'It's like, 'Here comes Teddy Swims!' I hope you never stop saying that. I'm grateful.'
