David Guetta and Bebe Rexha ascend to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart (dated Oct. 29) with “I’m Good (Blue).” Guetta gets his record-tying 12th No. 1, matching Calvin Harris and Rihanna for the most dating to the chart’s August 2003 inception. Rexha achieves her first leader on the list.

“Good” is scoring core-dance airplay on KMVQ-HD2 San Francisco, SiriusXM’s BPM and KNHC (C89.5) Seattle, among other stations.

“Good,” which interpolates Eiffel 65’s classic “Blue (Da Ba Dee),” a No. 6 Billboard Hot 100 hit in 2000, also leads the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (for a fifth week), Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs (sixth) and Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (also sixth). “Good” garnered 26.8 million all-format radio airplay audience impressions, 11.5 million official streams, and 7,000 downloads sold in the U.S. Oct. 14-20, according to Luminate.

The song concurrently pushes to a new No. 13 Hot 100 high. On Pop Airplay, its hits the top 10 (11-10), becoming Guetta’s seventh top 10 (and first since 2015) and Rexha’s fifth (and first since 2018).

Speaking of the Hot 100, the chart’s new No. 1, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy,” surges to the Dance/Mix Show Airplay top 10 (22-10). Smith’s seventh top 10 and Petras’ second, the collab is drawing significant core-dance airplay on SiriusXM’s Diplo’s Revolution, among other outlets, thanks to Disclosure’s remix.

“Unholy” is only the third song to reach the Dance/Mix Show Airplay top 10 in just two frames this year, joining Diplo and Miguel’s “Don’t Forget My Love” (12-3, in March) and Drake’s “Massive” (17-9, July).

On the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, Oliver Tree and Robin Schulz’s “Miss You” also rises in its second week (10-7), earning top Streaming Gainer honors. The track, whose profile has been boosted by TikTok, tallied 5.1 million streams, up 174%. Concurrently, “Miss” lifts 5-4 on Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs, marking Oliver Tree’s first top 10 and Schulz’s third.

Further on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Farruko flies in with “Viaje,” the chart’s leading debut (No. 23). Starting with 942,000 streams, his latest Latin-EDM crossover follows three consecutive top 10s (which upped his career total to four): “Nazareno” (No. 7, this June); “El Incomprendido,” with Victor Cardenas and DJ Adoni (No. 4, October 2021); and “Pepas” (No. 1 for nine weeks, beginning in August 2021).

Plus, Tove Lo and SG Lewis team on two Hot Dance/Electronic Songs debuts: “Call On Me” ( No. 27) and “Pineapple Slice” (No. 48). Tove Lo’s 10thand 11th appearances and Lewis’ 11th and 12th, the former starts with 836,000 streams and the latter with 484,000. Both cuts are from Tove Lo’s Dirt Femme, which debuts on Independent Albums (No. 24) and the Billboard 200 (No. 153), among other surveys.
