“Lose Control” makes history with its 92nd week and counting
Leveling up yet again, Grammy-nominated breakout superstar Teddy Swims makes history, breaking the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 song of all time with his global smash hit “Lose Control” at 92 weeks and counting. This is Swims’ second Hot 100 record to date—”Lose Control” is also the longest-running Hot 100 top 10 song of all time, with a record of 63 weeks.
The six-time platinum hit reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in March 2024 (after the longest consecutive climb for a solo male artist), going on to top the 2024 year-end chart. The track has amassed nearly four billion global streams to date, reached No. 1 on five radio airplay charts (Radio Songs, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult Contemporary Airplay, and Adult R&B Airplay), and was inducted into Spotify’s Billions Club.
2025 has already been a monumental year for the Atlanta native vocal powerhouse. In January, he released his highly anticipated new album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2), which includes his latest hits “Bad Dreams” and “Are You Even Real” featuring Giveon, in addition to collaborations with Muni Long, Coco Jones & GloRilla. He recently wrapped up his European arena tour and is currently in the midst of his biggest North American tour yet, which includes two nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York and two nights at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. He will then head overseas for a run of arena dates in Australia and New Zealand.
The Conyers, Georgia-raised star had a record 2024, fueled by the remarkable success of his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which boasts the platinum hit “The Door” in addition to “Lose Control” and fan-favorite track “Some Things I’ll Never Know.” He delivered a thrilling performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs, where he received three nominations, and the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, where he received eight nominations and won two awards: Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song of 2024.
With a new record under his belt, Swims shows no signs of slowing down—yesterday (Mon, May 26th), he teased his first song since the release of Party 2, hinting at new music to come. Stay tuned for more.
