Bebe Rexha and Faithless take 'New Religion' to No. 1 on WARM Global Dance Radio

New Religion reaches the top

Bebe Rexha and Faithless have scored their first No. 1 on the WARM Global Dance Radio chart, with New Religion climbing one position to the top of the ranking dated May 23. According to Billboard, the track logged more than 900 spins across over 200 monitored stations worldwide during the May 8-14 tracking week. Released in early March, the song has moved steadily up the global dance landscape since its debut.

A track built on a classic

Part of the song's appeal lies in its DNA. New Religion interpolates Insomnia, the 1995 Faithless track that became a landmark in electronic music. That original spent a week at No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 1997 and reached No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100. A reworked version, Insomnia 2.0, also topped Dance Club Songs in 2015. The new collaboration carries that legacy into a fresh context, and listeners have responded.

On Billboard's U.S.-based charts, New Religion also spent a week at No. 1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart dated May 9, and reached No. 29 on Pop Airplay and No. 33 on Rhythmic Airplay.

The chart around it

Elsewhere in this week's top five, ANOTR's Talk to You (featuring 54 Ultra) drops to No. 2 after six consecutive weeks at the top. FISHER and Tones and I's Favour holds at No. 3, while Prospa and Cloonee's Free Your Mind returns to its peak at No. 4. Milky and Mall Grab's Just the Way You Are rises to No. 5.

Calvin Harris and Jazzy's Satisfy is the highest debut this week at No. 14. Harris previously spent four weeks at No. 1 on the chart in March and April with Release the Pressure, alongside Kasabian. Dom Dolla and Tiga's Don't Worry Baby also enters the top 20 at No. 16.
