The Pussycat Dolls landed their first chart-topper since the chart's establishment, Doja Cat earned first top-ten entry with "Say So", new debuts by Carly Rae Jepsen, Nicki Minaj, Joji, and more...

It was a little over ten years ago when The Pussycat Dolls last released a single or an album, and their first single following their (un)expected performance on X-Factor: Celebrity back in December 2019 was their triumphant return to the pop scene. As a quintet this time (minus former Doll Melody Thornton, whom announced her plan to focus on her solo career), all five original members - including Nicole, Carmit, Ashley, Kimberly, and Jessica, offered their latest single "React" as the chart's highest entry, and subsequently their first chart-topping title in over a decade. By dethroning last week's leader "Don't Start Now", the song became the first chart-topper to debut at number one on the chart in 2020, thus marking the group as the first girl group to land a hot shot debut in the new decade. What a promising start, considering the group confirmed new music is in the work to accompany their upcoming reunion tour, further giving their fandom and general listeners what they have always wanted. 

But the girl group isn't the only new face in this week's top ten, as Carly Rae Jepsen also landed her first top-ten entry in 2020 with "Let's Be Friends" at number eight. Despite being an early release for the Valentine Day, the song is a different approach of Jepsen for a breakup anthem with a super clear message "Let's be friends and never speak again". Meanwhile, Doja Cat earned her first top-ten entry ever with the rising hit "Say So", following a strong viral presence thanks to the TikTok challenge that helped boost the song 12-9. Other notable debuts include the No. 15-debut "Run" by Joji, followed by "Yikes" by Nicki Minaj at No. 20, earning the rapper her second chart appearance this year following her featuring in "Hot Girl Summer", and subsequently her first top twenty entry in 2020 as a lead artist. Rock band Green Day also landed their first entry on the chart with "Oh Yeah!" at No. 73, Khalid and Disclosure with "Know Your Worth" at No. 61, Chromatics with "Toy" at No. 43, and girl group LOONA with their album track "Number 1" at No. 99.

Remaining at number two position this week is The 1975's "Me & You Together Song" for a third consecutive week, while Red Velvet's "Psycho" moved up one spot and former leader "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa retreats 1-4. Both Lipa and 1975 also has two other entries on this week's top ten area, as Lipa's "Physical" leaps 18-6 this week, giving the British singer her third consecutive top-ten hit for her highly-anticipated upcoming album in this March 2020. Meanwhile, 1975's "Frail State of Mind" steps down two spots from its previous No.3 high, landing at number five this week. Caribou's "You and I" also retreats 5-7, with Kali Uchis rounding out the top ten this week with "Solita".
