On that note, losers and dropouts, which in the latter category is characterized by ‘Suicidal’ by YNW Melly likely getting a year-end list slot - did not predict or see that coming - and ‘Ridin Roads’ by Dustin Lynch getting knocked off early, but the big story is that ‘Yummy’ by Justin Bieber is outright gone! It’s probably clinched a year-end list spot by its high early positioning, but it’s not nearly as guaranteed as it could be, and the fact that it failed this badly is honestly a testament to something going right this year! But given we did have an album bomb, we also had a lot of losers here - some you expect off the debut like ‘Level Of Concern’ by twenty one pilots sliding to 45, or ‘Broke In A Minute’ by Tory Lanez at 90 or ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ by Maddie & Tae at 94. Drake to #10, which might still have insane YouTube and good streaming, but it’s not getting any higher given how the radio has plainly given up on it - good. I’ll get into more about this song much later on, but its streaming is enormous and they had good sales… probably won’t last, given how album bombs go, but at least one of the better songs from the album is doing well? Anyway, it knocked back ‘Life Is Good’ by Future ft. Not a good sign, as ‘Intentions’ by Justin Bieber and Quavo is still holding at #8 - you can thank continued strength across the board for that - but that leads to a new arrival in the top ten, courtesy of that album bomb I mentioned: ‘ROCKSTAR’ by DaBaby ft. Then we have ‘Circles’ by Post Malone actually picking up a spot to #6, even as it’s fading everywhere, but it still has enough of a margin in streaming and sales to beat out ‘Adore You’ by Harry Styles, which fell to #7 as it looks to be bleeding everywhere. This takes us to ‘Say So’ by Doja Cat at #5, which is absolutely making a radio run… but its sales are still not great and it actually lags Dua Lipa on streaming, which is not something I expected. This puts ‘The Box’ by Roddy Ricch at #3 - streaming is still good but sales are down and radio is wavering' - and ‘Don’t Start Now’ by Dua Lipa at #4 - which is fading across the board but has such big margins on the radio that it’s going to take time to fall off. It’s a strong, well-rounded hit in a way that ‘Toosie Slide’ by Drake is not at #2 - yes, it’s got streaming and YouTube and good sales and even radio momentum, but he’s stuck closing a much bigger gap with a much weaker song, and virality bleeds away faster than ever these days. So let’s get started with our top ten, where ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weeknd is still holding sway at #1, mostly thanks to ruling sales and the radio so definitively that its weaker but still robust streaming keeps it solid. Sadly, that looks to be indicative of most of the week on the Hot 100 here - not looking great, let’s just say that - but hey, the way things are going, I don’t expect it to last. The aforementioned “TROLLZ” falls to #34 this week.…I mean, surprise? Look, we all knew DaBaby’s next project would be an album bomb, and I bet more than half of you knew the album was a rushed cash grab that at best felt repetitive and at worst was a complete waste of time. Post Malone’s “Circles” rises three places to #10, marking its record-extending 39th total week in the Top 10. This week’s chart also features a pair of Top 10 newcomers, as Jack Harlow’s “WHATS POPPIN” rises ten spots to #8 and Lil Mosey’s “Blueberry Faygo” climbs two spots to #9. Justin Bieber’s “Intentions (featuring Quavo)” concurrently rises two spots to #5. Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage (featuring Beyonce)” rises two spots to #2 this week, as The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” jumps two places to #3.Ī four-place rise brings SAINt JHN’s “Roses” to #4, marking its first appearance in the Top 5. “ROCKSTAR” remains strong in all component areas, holding at #1 on Streaming Songs, rising to #2 on Digital Song Sales, and improving to #12 on Radio Songs. Up one place from last week’s position, “ROCKSTAR” earns a third overall week as America’s top song. After ceding the throne last week to 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj’s “TROLLZ,” DaBaby’s “ROCKSTAR (featuring Roddy Ricch)” reclaims #1 on the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart.
