Stella Lefty’s “Boston” holds a firm lock on the No. 2 spot for the Billboard Hot 100 dated September 26, driven by consistent multi-format radio gains—including its recent No. 1 on Country Airplay—solid streaming totals, and steady sales that have kept it pinned behind Ella Langley’s long-running “Choosin’ Texas.” The track’s crossover momentum, built through gradual airplay builds at country and pop stations plus sustained audience impressions, has created a wide gap over challengers. Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Morgan Wallen’s “Been By Now,” and Ella Langley’s additional entries show no meaningful late-week surges capable of displacing it. An upset would require an unforeseen streaming spike or promotional push from one of the lower-probability tracks, but current tracking data points to minimal volatility this close to chart finalization.
