No, she'll be a lot higher. The streams are insane + the radio play is great + the sales are strong enough to throw it in the Top 20 or even Top 10 range. The songs up there are a bit old and will easily get snatched by a song that's rising fast like Partition.

It's a shame the sales ain't a bit higher, it would be top 10 FOR SURE.

More like 17-21.

i think low top20, no way of top 10, competition is just too high.

Literally the only issue. If it could rise to like Top 40 or even 30 by tonight, she would definitely have Top 10.

She had a better week for radio updates than some of the bottom half top 10 songs did. This is a good start for Partition. They should really send it to pop and watch it smash.

I'm not sure you understand how airplay works. She had better gains than some in top 10, but overall weekly AI is still very low for top 10. I guess 80-90% of her placement on BH100 next week will be based on streamimg.

These predictions are all over the place. Loving the streams! Can't wait to see where it lands next week!

Lady Gaga's "Dope" storms onto the Hot 100 at No. 8, fueled most heavily by its No. 1 arrival on Streaming Songs (marking her first leader on the list) with 8.2 million first-week streams; 95% of that sum stems from YouTube (non-VEVO) views of the live video of Gaga performing "Dope" at the YouTube Music Awards on Nov. 3. The ballad also begins on Digital Songs at No. 60 with 31,000 downloads sold.

Sales will probably be the same for Partition, i think her streams will be higher though and she has airplay, Gaga didn't. I think the competition is now harder for the top 10 though.

Let's agree on Top20 so we don't get disappointed

[Slayonce]

I believe it's definitely goingTop 20. I think Top 10 is a reach though. Let's wait and see.

It's going to be Top 20 at the very least, I don't know why people are fighting that.

Yup

[PrettyHurts]

Top 10 would be amazing u guys and I hope so
But I don't see how it could happen

[Lose My Breath]

If all the views on the video were from the US I could see it going top 10 but I'm sure only about 1/3-1/2 will be calculated.

[GrandMomCookies]

I mean if it don't go top ten this week I'm sure it will next week

stop stressing

I bet next week or the week after is when she start promo like putting up pics of it on her tumblr and ig etc

The fact that we've been reduced to this as "promo" Mess.

Mess at this promo strategy. In all honesty I think Bey and her team are testing the water with Partition before they release it worldwide. She needs to send a song worldwide though. XO is dead, at least send Drunk In Love instead of nothing

Just chill out. This is just the beginning of this song, it's been oput for only 5 weeks. It's not like it's going to peak on next BH100 update.

I think they aren't going push this till like late April / may billboard award performance then let it peak

Then have blow ready for the summer and I think that's very smart
