What an active week! I spent loads of time listening to music. Which means many songs dropped despite showing increases in points. Anyways here's our breakdown.
Somebody blasts to the #1 spot; it's first week in the top 10. It's massive increase in points is owed to many factors, between streams from her ellen performance, her music video (which grew on me) and being Top Playlist Gainer, it manages to hold off I Really Like You which gained similar effects from ellen performances and playlist surges. Holding steady at #3 is Repeat Pleasure, followed by last weeks #1 Trap Queen.
Post To Be falls one rung to #1, despite an increase in streams and overall points. Rising up to new peaks are Empyrean Abattoir and King Kunta, rising to No.s 6 and 7 respectively. I Want you to know falls 3 spaces to No. 8, but as a nice constellation prize, crosses the 2x Plat mark.
Rising for a third week is bondafire viral hit "I'm Not Madonna". It's already the second top 10 hit this year to name drop her in the title, following self-referential hit "Bitch, I'm Madonna" hitting #2 earlier in the year. How funny. Closing out the top 10 is The Kylie/Giorgio collabo Right Here Right Now. Just outside the chart "Tom's Diner" with Britney Spears starts off with ~42k. In a slower week that would be enough for a debut. It's sure to pop up in it's first full week of availability.
Just outside the top 10, this weeks Hot Shot Debut is Bjork's "Stonemilker", starting strong at #13. Former single "Black Lake" peaked at #39..
Notable Certs:
"Style" crosses the 4x Platinum mark, the first song to reach this plateau since Ariana Grande's "Break Free" last summer.
"Fire Meet Gasoline" re-enters following it's sudden music video drop and crosses the million mark.
"I Want You To Know" crosses the 2x Platinum Mark
"Lay Me Down" goes Gold! It's Sam's second certified hit following "I'm Not The Only One" which also went gold, after peaking at #21. This one seems to be a grower for me so let's see if it can go higher.
