Alessia Cara tops Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart (dated Feb. 6), as her debut hit "Here" rises 2-1. And, persistence pays off, as the song completes the longest ascent to No. 1 in the chart's 22-year history: 26 weeks. It passes two songs that each took 25 weeks: Cee Lo Green's "F**k You! (Forget You)" (2011) and DemiLovato's "Give Your Heart a Break" (2012).
Cara is also the first solo female to lead Pop Songs with a maiden entry in more than a year, since Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" ruled for two weeks in November 2014.
at Demi losing the record.
Good for her.
