Olivia Rodrigo’s “The Cure” spent two weeks at number one on the US Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart.
“The Cure” was released on May 22, 2026, as the second single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. Its chart performance extended beyond the general pop market: it also reached number one in Australia, Ireland, and Singapore, while peaking at number five in the United States.
The Hot Rock and Alternative Songs ranking measures performance across rock and alternative formats and is separate from the Billboard Hot 100. This distinction matters because a song can lead a genre chart without reaching number one on the all-genre chart.
