Elton John & Dua Lipa’s ‘Cold Heart’ Hits No. 1 on Adult Contemporary Chart


John achieves his record-extending 18th AC leader and Lipa lands her second.

By Gary Trust


Elton John and Dua Lipa‘s “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” is the hottest song on the Billboard Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart, as it rises to No. 1 on the list dated May 21, reflecting play in the May 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The coronation marks the latest historic feat for John, as he notches his record-extending 18th AC No. 1. That’s among 41 top 10s and 75 entries overall, also bests among all artists in the tally’s archives, which date to July 1961.


John furthers his lead over the Carpenters, who logged 15 AC No. 1s, in 1970-81. Next up: Barry Manilow (13), Celine Dion, Lionel Richie (11 each), Whitney Houston and Olivia Newton-John (10 each).



Here’s a recap of John’s 18 AC chart-toppers:

“Daniel,” two weeks at No. 1, beginning May 12, 1973
“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” with Kiki Dee, one, Sept. 11, 1976
“Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word,” one, Dec. 18, 1976
“Mama Can’t Buy You Love,” one, Aug. 25, 1979
“Little Jeannie,” two, June 14, 1980
“Blue Eyes,” two, Sept. 11, 1982
“That’s What Friends Are For” (Dionne & Friends; Dionne Warwick, John, Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder), two, Jan. 11, 1986
“I Don’t Wanna Go On With You Like That,” one, Aug. 20, 1988
“Healing Hands,” one, Oct. 21, 1989
“You Gotta Love Someone,” five, Dec. 15, 1990
“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” with George Michael, two, Feb. 8, 1992
“The One,” six, July 25, 1992
“Simple Life,” three, March 20, 1993
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” eight, July 9, 1994
“Believe,” two, May 20, 1995
“Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” 10, Nov. 22, 1997
“Merry Christmas,” with Ed Sheeran, one, Jan. 1, 2022
“Cold Heart (Pnau Remix),” with Dua Lipa, one to-date, May 21, 2022



John also extends the longest span of an artist leading the AC chart: 49 years and a week, from “Daniel” to “Cold Heart.” (That’s almost double the stretch of the runner-up: Chicago spanned 25 years, 10 months and two weeks from “Beginnings” in 1971 to “Here in My Heart” in 1997.)

Plus, John claims his second AC No. 1 this year, after “Merry Christmas,” with Ed Sheeran, topped the Jan. 1 ranking. For John, 2022 joins 1992 and 1976 as years in which he has ascended to the AC summit with multiple songs. He also links his first set of back-to-back No. 1s since his streak of three in 1990-92.





Meanwhile, Lipa adds her second AC leader, after “Levitating” reigned for 14 weeks beginning last July.

In “Cold Heart,” John sings part of his 1990 hit “Sacrifice” and Lipa reprises his 1972 classic “Rocket Man” and his 1983 single “Kiss the Bride,” with John’s 1976 track “Where’s the Shoorah?” serving as the mash-up’s coda. The new blend sports trio Pnau’s co-writing and co-production.

“Cold Heart” brings three of those songs to No. 1 on AC for the first time; “Sacrifice” reached No. 3, “Rocket Man” hit No. 39 (a surprisingly low peak in retrospect, given its legacy as one of John’s signature songs) and “Kiss the Bride” missed the chart. (On the all-genre, multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, the tracks rose to Nos. 18, 6 and 25, respectively.)

“Cold Heart” previously hit the top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart last December; rose to No. 7 on the Hot 100 in January, marking John’s 28th top 10; and crowned Adult Pop Airplay for a week in March. On the May 21 Hot Dance/Electronic Songs survey, it adds a 31st week at No. 1 – after winning for top dance/electronic song at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

“I’ve always tried to be relevant,” John told Billboard upon the release of “Cold Heart” parent album The Lockdown Sessions last year about his longevity. Of “Cold Heart,” specifically, he mused, “A lot of it is, of course, due to Dua Lipa’s popularity and the brilliant Pnau remix, but I feel very, very content and happy that I’m relevant.”

Madman Across the Water in UK released for 50 adniversary

FOR UK:

One of his least successful albums in terms of chart achievement, Elton John’s fourth studio album, Madman Across The Water, debuted at No.41 in 1971, fell to No.48 on its second week and disappeared for good – or, at least, until this week. Supercharged by the slightly belated release of a 50th anniversary super deluxe edition, which includes 18 previously unreleased tracks, demos and audio from BBC Radio 1’s Sounds For Saturday concert, it re-opens its account at No.53 (2,005 sales). Part of the reason for its modest chart achievement here is that no singles were taken from it, although in America the success of Levon (No.24) and

Tiny Dancer (No.41) helped it to a No.8 peak. Tiny Dancer has, of course, since emerged as a cornerstone of John’s catalogue, belatedly made the chart in 2015, peaking at No.70. It is his fourth most popular digital era track, with consumption of 1,325,601 units but Levon is less revered, and ranks 57th (29,125 units). Indian Sunset - another track from the album – ranks 91st (12,091 units) but will be vaguely familiar to many, as 2Pac’s posthumous 2005 No.1 Ghetto Gospel samples extensively and segues three different portions of the track to create a new and different melody to the original. It is 2Pac’s second most popular track, with consumption of 831,370 units.


Bonus Information for UK:
-Madman Across the water is certified Silver (>60.000 sps).
-The 50th edition sold this week 2.005 sps (mostly sales than streams)

Single Totals ranks for Elton (sps sales):

#4 - 1,325,601 Elton John - Tiny Dancer (2 x platinum)
(not specified) - 831,370 2Pac feat. Elton John - Ghetto Gospel (platinum)
#57 - 29,125 Elton John - Levon
#91 - 12,091 Elton John - Indian Sunset


IN US:

Madman Across the Water was reissued on June 10 in five new configurations – a deluxe digital album, a two-CD set, a four LP vinyl box set, a super deluxe three-CD/one-blu-ray box set and a single-LP colored vinyl pressing. All but the latter includes an array of bonus tracks. All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes.

On the 31-year-old Top Album Sales chart, Madman debuts at No. 8 with 7,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending June 16, according to Luminate. Of that sum, vinyl sales comprise 3,000 – enabling its debut at No. 9 on the Vinyl Albums chart. The latter list ranks the week’s top-selling vinyl albums.

Madman also debuts at Top Rock Albums (No. 16), Catalog Albums (No. 43) and re-enters the Billboard 200 (No. 115) with 9,000 equivalent album units earned. Madman was last on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 11, 1972.
