Hozier's Two Biggest Singles Tie One Another
Hozier's 'Too Sweet' ties 'Take Me to Church' as his longest-running hit on Billboard's rock and ... More alternative charts, as both have spent 64 weeks on the rankings. WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 02: Hozier attends the Elton John foundation annual viewing party with Tequila Don Julio at West Hollywood Park on March 02, 2025 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo byfor Tequila Don Julio) More than a decade ago, Irish rocker Andrew Hozier-Byrne — known mononymously as Hozier — became a global superstar with his breakout single "Take Me to Church." The tune, which called out the hypocrisy of religious institutions, was noted as controversial to some, but also hugely commercially successful all around the world. The hit turned Hozier into one of the most exciting new names in his field. Now, 10 years after "Take Me to Church," "Too Sweet" has helped the musician stray from one-hit wonder status, and it's the latter track that is in the midst of a thrilling period on the charts in America at the moment. 'Too Sweet' Ties "Take Me to Church" "Too Sweet" remains a huge smash across more than half a dozen Billboard charts in the United States. The track is still living inside the top 10 on many of the company's rock and alternative tallies, including those focused on streaming activity, pure purchases, and overall consumption. As "Too Sweet" holds on and earns its sixty-fourth stay on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs rankings, it ties "Take Me to Church" as Hozier's longest-running hit on those lists. 'Too Sweet' Vs. "Take Me to Church" Both "Take Me to Church" and "Too Sweet" may have spent 64 weeks on Billboard's rankings of the most consumed rock and alternative tracks and rock-only tunes, but their performances on the two tallies are not exactly the same. On the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, "Take Me to Church" ruled for 23 weeks, while "Too Sweet" racked up 17 stays at No. 1. The opposite is true when looking specifically at the Hot Rock Songs chart. On that ranking, "Too Sweet" has managed to reign for 63 of the 64 weeks it has spent somewhere on the list, while "Take Me to Church" scored just 23 frames at the summit. Hozier Could Replace Billie Eilish at No. 1 "Too Sweet" could easily return to the No. 1 spot on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking at some point, as it's currently not far from the throne, sitting in the runner-up space. At the moment, only "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish is beating Hozier, as her poppy cut dominates for a forty-fifth nonconsecutive stint.

Hozier's First No. 1 Mounts A Big Comeback As A Sudden Bestseller
For many years, Hozier's career was defined by one hit single, 'Take Me to Church.' The breakout hit introduced the Irish singer-songwriter to the general public back in 2013, and it became a global sensation. In the years since, Hozier has released several successful albums, but no tune managed to match the popularity of the track that started it all— a t least, not until 2024. Last spring, 'Too Sweet' arrived and instantly became yet another worldwide phenomenon. In the year-plus since it dropped, the Hozier cut has, in many ways, outperformed its predecessor. This week, it even manages to bolt back onto several Billboard rankings, as listeners in the United States can't seem to get enough of the track. This frame, 'Too Sweet' performs especially well in terms of pure purchases, as the single returns to a pair of purchase-only tallies. 'Too Sweet' reenters the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10. It's also back on the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking at No. 15. The cut had previously dominated both lists and spent at least 60 weeks on the two rankings. 'Too Sweet' isn't only a bestseller. The track also returns to Billboard's Streaming Songs chart. Notably, while Hozier's cut only appears on genre-specific sales rankings, it manages to find a home on the all-style, all-encompassing Streaming Songs list. The track has spent 48 weeks on that roster, and has already reached the summit. 'Too Sweet' manages to find space on more than half a dozen other Billboard lists this frame. It does appear on the global charts, but performs best in the United States. The smash lives inside the top five on several other lists, such as the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (No. 2), Hot Rock Songs (No. 1), and Hot Alternative Songs (No. 2) charts. 'Too Sweet' is not Hozier's only charting success in the U.S. at the moment. 'Take Me to Church' holds at No. 20 on the Alternative Streaming Songs ranking. Meanwhile, 'Do I Wanna Know (Live at BBC)' — a cover of the Arctic Monkeys classic — is steady at No. 42 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs list.
