NEW YORK (AP) — The Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Feb. 14, 2026, reflects a wide-ranging snapshot of the current pop landscape, with country, hip-hop, indie, soundtrack releases and singer-songwriter fare all finding space at the top of the industry’s most closely watched ranking. From viral breakouts to established superstars, the week’s top 10 underscores how fragmented — and competitive — mainstream music has become.
At No. 10, “DTMF” by Bad Bunny continues the global star’s run on the Hot 100, blending Latin rhythms with a darker, more introspective tone than his recent club-oriented releases. The song’s streaming strength has kept it in the top tier, bolstered by Bad Bunny’s international audience and continued crossover appeal.
Rising to No. 9, Kehlani’s “Folded” showcases the singer’s hallmark emotional transparency. The R&B track leans into vulnerability and restraint, resonating strongly on urban radio and streaming platforms as Kehlani maintains her reputation as a consistent voice in contemporary R&B.
At No. 8, “Back to Friends” by sombr marks one of the chart’s more understated successes. The song’s introspective lyrics and minimalist production have found traction largely through social media discovery, signaling the continued influence of digital word-of-mouth on chart performance.
Holding at No. 7, Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” represents one of the more literary entries in her catalog. The track’s narrative structure and poetic references have drawn praise from critics and fans alike, reinforcing Swift’s ability to merge mainstream success with ambitious songwriting.
At No. 6, Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide” continues the Vermont singer-songwriter’s ascent into the upper reaches of the Hot 100. Anchored by earnest lyrics and folk-pop instrumentation, the song reflects the growing appetite for confessional storytelling in pop music.
Cracking the top five at No. 5, “Golden” by Huntrx, from K-Pop Demon Hunters, highlights the increasing chart impact of soundtrack releases. Fueled by fan engagement and visual tie-ins, the song bridges pop spectacle with cinematic branding, a trend that has become increasingly common on the Hot 100.
At No. 4, Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might” delivers a polished, groove-driven performance that recalls the singer’s classic pop-soul influences. Strong radio rotation and Mars’ enduring star power have helped the single maintain momentum weeks after its release.
Sitting at No. 3, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” reflects the songwriter’s transition from online notoriety to mainstream recognition. The track’s plainspoken lyrics and emotional accessibility have resonated with younger listeners, translating into sustained streaming numbers.
At No. 2, Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” marks a career milestone for the British singer. Blending soulful vocals with modern pop production, the song has expanded Dean’s presence in the U.S. market while earning critical praise for its maturity and restraint.
Claiming the No. 1 spot, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” leads the Hot 100 with a country-forward anthem that has crossed into pop territory. The song’s chart-topping performance underscores the genre’s continued dominance and Langley’s emergence as one of country music’s most significant new voices.
Together, the top 10 for Feb. 14 illustrates a chart shaped by diverse genres, digital discovery and crossover success — a reminder that the Hot 100 remains a reflection not of a single sound, but of a rapidly evolving musical ecosystem.
