Teddy Swims just pulled off something very few artists can even dream of. His breakout ballad “Lose Control,” first released in June 2023, has now spent an astonishing 100 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 — a record-breaking achievement that puts the Georgia-born vocalist in a league of his own.

The track’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. It entered the Hot 100 quietly, debuting at No. 99 in August 2023, but its staying power has been anything but subtle. It peaked at No. 1 for just a single week in March 2024, but it’s lived most of its chart life in the top 10 — an unbelievable 70 weeks and counting. On the most recent chart, “Lose Control” is still holding firm at No. 9.

That kind of longevity is rare, even among juggernauts. For context: Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves” stayed on the chart for 91 weeks, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” for 90, Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” for 87, and AWOLNATION’s “Sail” for 79. Swims has now eclipsed them all — and he’s done it without chasing trends, relying instead on timeless emotional weight and a voice built for aching honesty.

“Lose Control” has topped an array of Billboard charts beyond the Hot 100, including Radio Songs, Digital Song Sales, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay, and Pop Airplay. The song’s appeal spans generations and genres — not quite soul, not quite pop, not quite country, but some heart-splitting combination of all three.

At a time when most hits burn bright and vanish fast, “Lose Control” feels like a throwback to a slower, more durable kind of success. Teddy Swims didn’t just score a chart hit — he built a song people actually live with. And evidently, they’re not done with it yet.
