Bebe Rexha & Faithless Claim Global Dance Chart Domination with "New Religion"

The track soars to number one on the WARM Global Dance Radio chart, marking a historic milestone for both artists.

A Chart-Topping Revival

Bebe Rexha and Faithless have officially taken the dance music world by storm, ascending to the summit of the WARM Global Dance Radio chart with their electrifying collab, "New Religion." The track, released in early March, has already proven its staying power, racking up over 900 spins across 200+ stations worldwide during the week of May 8–14 alone.

This isn’t just a win—it’s a statement. "New Religion" has already dominated U.S. airwaves, securing the number one spot on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and climbing into the top 30 on Pop and Rhythmic airplay charts.

A Nostalgic Twist with a Modern Edge

What makes this achievement even more remarkable? The song’s infectious energy is built on a melodic foundation borrowed from Faithless’s 1995 cult classic, "Insomnia."

Faithless knows a thing or two about dance-floor dominance:

• Original (1995): A juggernaut that topped the Dance Club Songs chart in 1997 and peaked at #62 on the Hot 100.
• "Insomnia 2.0" (2015): A remix that stormed back to the top of dance charts a decade later.

For both Rexha and Faithless, "New Religion" marks their first-ever number-one on the WARM Global Dance Radio chart—a testament to the track’s cross-generational appeal.

The Global Dance Charts: Who Else Made the Cut?

While Rexha and Faithless reign supreme, the rest of the top five is a dynamic mix of high-energy anthems:

1. Second Place: ANOTR’s "Talk to You" (drops after six weeks at number one).
2. Third Place: FISHER and Tones & I’s "Favour" (holds steady).
3. Fourth Place: Prospa & Cloonee’s "Free Your Mind" (climbs back up).
4. Fifth Place: Milky & Mall Grab’s "Just the Way You Are" (jumps from #7).

Fresh Faces in the Top 20

• #14: Calvin Harris & Jazzy’s "Satisfy" (Harris’s first new entry since his Kasabian collab topped the charts).
• #16: Dom Dolla & Tiga’s "Don’t Worry Baby" (a bold debut in the global dance arena).

The Future of Dance Radio: A New Era

This milestone arrives just in time. Billboard launched the WARM Global Dance Radio chart on March 10, aggregating spins from 200+ dance-focused stations across 30+ countries. The chart doesn’t just track popularity—it reflects the pulse of global radio programmers, revealing what’s resonating with audiences worldwide.

For artists like Rexha, Faithless, and the rising names now sharing the stage, this is more than a chart position—it’s a celebration of dance music’s unifying power.
