Billboard Hot 100 New Faces: Adéla's 'Nicole Kidman' Debuts at No. 6 as Karol G and Dominic Fike Land First Top 10s
Three artists scored their first Billboard Hot 100 top 10s on the chart dated October 24, 2026. Slovak pop singer Adéla debuted at No. 6 with "Nicole Kidman," Karol G reached No. 9 with "Bby WOW" alongside Judeline and rusowsky, and Dominic Fike's "Babydoll" — first released in 2018 — climbed to No. 10. Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" remained at No. 1.
Adéla's single riffs on Nicole Kidman's screen persona, with lyrics and a video referencing Kidman films including Babygirl, and its talk value across streaming and short video carried the Slovak singer into the top tier. Karol G's No. 9 finish marks only her second top 10 entry and extends Latin pop's run on the US chart.
Fike's path was the strangest of the three: "Babydoll" came out in 2018, first entered the Hot 100 this February on a TikTok surge, and has climbed ever since. The rest of the top 10: Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" at No. 2, Stella Lefty's "Boston" at No. 3, Morgan Wallen's "Been By Now" at No. 4, Tame Impala and JENNIE's "Dracula" at No. 5, Ariana Grande at No. 7 and Olivia Rodrigo's "Stupid Song" at No. 8.
