Doja is running up the score with her seventh number one this decade.

While Doja Cat's new album Scarlet performed admirably on the album charts, she's really dominated with her singles. Both "Paint The Town Red" and "Agora Hills" are going strong on the Hot 100, with the latter still in the top 5. "Paint" also recently pulled off another impressive achievement. This week it toppled Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer" to take the top spot on the Pop Airplay chart. It's the first time the song has topped the chart and it marks Doja's seventh time occupying the top spot.
