Sofia Camara Earns First Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Entry With 'Girls Like You'

Sofia Camara has hit the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 for the first time.

The rising Toronto pop singer-songwriter’s track, “Girls Like You,” arrives on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at No. 100, dated September 27.

It's an upbeat synth-pop moment about the emotional muscle memory of falling back into old patterns despite warnings and hard-learned lessons.

Produced by Mike Wise, Danny Bravo, Nate Ferraro and Billboard Canada Non-Performing Songwriter Award winner Lowell, the song is on Camara’s newest EP, Hard to Love, which arrives October 10 via Universal Music Canada. Often compared to young, emotionally honest artists like Gracie Abrams and fellow Canadian Tate McRae, Camara has a clear path to a big breakout.

While this is Camara’s Hot 100 debut, it's already a hit on Canadian radio. "Girls Like You" is already charting on the Billboard Canadian Airplay charts, at No. 23 on CHR/Top 40 and No. 21 on Hot AC.

Another single, “Never Be Yours,” is also at No. 19 on the CHR/Top 40 chart and reached No. 22 and No. 34 on the Hot AC and AC charts, respectively.

This fall, the Portuguese-Canadian singer is set to embark on a headlining tour, with a lone Canadian stop in her hometown, on November 6 at TD Music Hall.

This week, a nostalgic Rihanna track is hitting the charts — thanks to TikTok.

While the pop singer is inching towards almost a decade with no new music, “Breakin’ Dishes” from her 2007 album, Good Girl Gone Bad, arrives at No. 52.

The song isn’t ascribed to a specific trend — other than classic TikTok lip-syncing — but the lyrics: “Is he cheatin'? Man, I don't know/ I'm lookin' 'round for somethin' else to throw/I'm breakin' dishes up in here, all night” have been used almost 400,000 times on the social media app.

The track is also charting on the U.S. Hot 100 this week (lower than in Canada), and as Billboard notes, the song has gained placement on prominent playlists on DSPs including Amazon, Apple and Spotify in recent weeks, while Rihanna’s catalog was recently added to TikTok

Good Girl Gone Bad was No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for two weeks in 2007. It featured smash hit tracks like “Umbrella,” featuring Jay-Z, and “Don’t Stop the Music,” which hit No. 1 and No. 2 on the Canadian Hot 100 after the album’s release.

When it comes to other Canadian artists on the chart, recently announced Coachella headliner Justin Bieber amasses three hits off his Swag project, including “Daisies” (No. 3), “Yukon” (No. 43) and “Speed Demon (No. 70). Tate McRae nabs two spots, with “Sports Car” rising 34-30 and “Just Keep Watching” sitting at No. 32.

"Dog House," Drake’s collaboration with Billboard Canada Global Rising Star Julia Wolf and Yeat climbs 86-39, while “Somebody Loves Me” featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR and Cash Cobain drops 30-47. After vying for the top spot a couple of months ago, “Which One” featuring Central Cee rises one spot to No. 59 and “What Did I Miss?” drops 73-79.

Elsewhere, Punjabi-Canadian artist Karan Aujla hits No. 65 with “For A Reason,” and country juggernaut Josh Ross’ Akon-featuring “Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)” sits at No. 92. Both Montreal singer Alicia Moffet and B.C. country star Cameron Whitcomb re-enter the chart with their respective tracks, “Lay Your Light” (No. 94) and “Options” (No. 95).

At the top of the charts, KPop Demon Hunters’ “Golden” maintains a third week at No. 1. Two weeks ago, it dethroned Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which previously spent 21 consecutive weeks at the top — it was the second-longest No. 1 ever, after Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

On the Canadian Albums chart, Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem rises to No. 1, knocking Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend from the top spot. It now sits at No. 4. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack climbs 3-2, while Twenty One Pilots’ Breach comes in at No. 3.
