I know it’s early, but are any of The Weeknd’s songs going number one?
Or are they settling for a comfortable top ten placement thus far?

Could "All I Want For Christmas Is You" go top 10 this week? Thanksgiving is over and more and more people are gearing up for the holidays.

With a 80s vibe song Blinding Lights by The Weeknd could debut at #1? 🤔

Top 10 is secured and i would say #1 but we have to see |

Blinding Lights vs. Heartless, should be interesting to see how each charts this week.

We could potentially have a pretty crazy December between Christmas music, year end/decade end radio charts and streaming, along with whatever else is getting big at the time. I don’t know how invested people that aren’t chart watchers are in decade end kind of stuff but if they see a list or a playlist then they may listen.

Looks like I'm in the minority who likes Heartless more than Blinding Lights but as long as Heartless spends at least one week on top, I'm fine with Lights also going number one. It might be interesting to see if they trade weeks on top.

I doubt the weekend has the power to debut at #1, top 5 is Def possible though

It'd be super impressive if both of The Weeknd's comeback singles went top 10 in their first week (first full week in the case of Heartless).

I doubt the weekend has the power to debut at #1, top 5 is Def possible though Selena was #1 like 3 weeks ago, he's bigger than her and current #1 is below 30k points. It's very possible. |

He’s gonna need a big jump on Spotify today to debut number one. Selena had much better second day hold than him.

I liked “Blinding Lights” better when Rod Stewart recorded it in 1981 and called it “Young Turks”.

Heartless has a better chance imo since it has a radio deal and Blinding Lights doesn't.

Blinding Lights sounds like a 7th single release from any number of 80’s albums. Terrible song. And Heartless sounds just like his other song.

Heartless will probably debut in 100-60 range for the week of 12/7 and then get a massive boost next week. Blinding Lights will debut in the top 10 on 12/14.

Heartless is pretty much on par with any other Bruno Mars "retro" song. It's a decent imitation but nothing more than that. I mean it's not Greta Van Fleet levels of bad appropriation because Abel's still a good performer but the bar should be higher than "well, it's better GVF".

Only 1.3M on Spotify for Blinding Lights, not gonna debut in top ten on Hot 100.
Heartless down 100k too, still #1 though.

Spotify numbers are disappointing, but still it's #3. I'm mad that he released that basic song before "Lights"... |

Just saw Frozen 2 and I'm now even more curious as to why they're pushing Into the Unknown as the big single.
I think Elsa's second song, Show Yourself, is a much more powerful and crowd pleasing song.

Also Blinding Lights debuts with 1.3M on Spotify. Top 10 debut for sure.

I'm guessing The Weeknd is receiving the vast majority of his streams from Apple Music, since Heartless debuted with 13.97 million streams in its first two days, with only 5.01 million of those coming from Spotify. That should offset his mediocre performance on Spotify.

That should offset his more mediocre performance on Spotify. I feel like apple music is now the way to go for streaming and getting high chart positions |
