Olivia Rodrigo’s “The Cure” debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated June 6. The song doubles as a prescription for Billboard to do further testing and see how often a top 10 Hot 100 song title has been the same as an act that has also hit the top 10. With “The Cure” in the chart’s title field, it joins Rock & Roll Hall of Fame British band The Cure, which reached the region in 1989 with one of its many alt classics, “Love Song.”

(Rodrigo and The Cure frontman Robert Smith have become close, and they duetted during her 2025 Glastonbury headlining set. Smith later told British Vogue, “She calls me up quite a bit to talk about clothes and fashion, and we have enjoyed a couple of memorable nights in the studio together. I can’t wait to hear what she does next!”)
