I could see Karma debuting surprisingly high by the end of the week. My friends that don’t follow pop music all watched or are aware of the video in a way I haven’t seen since Montero or WAP. It doesn't even have 10 million worldwide views on YouTube (though if most of those are U.S. views it would be a good total), and I don't see it in the top 100 on Apple Music. It will really need to catch on to have any kind of decent Hot 100 debut. Did it debut on Spotify? It did 3.7 million views 4-5th April and debuted at #1 on the daily US youtube chart - kworb.net/youtube/insights/us_daily.html It'll probably debut on the Hot 100 based on the high youtube views alone.

This is holding up pretty well in streaming, I hope they full push this to radio soon as the 2nd single. Then hit us with "Bodyguard" mid-summer into autumn (gives such great summer/autumn easy breezy vibes).

Hoping Beyoncé can get a second week! She must be on course for 120-140k currently if not far behind J. Cole. Perhaps the physical release to stores in the 3rd week will help give it a 3rd week at 100k+ *_*

This is definitely a vibe, love it. Hope TikTok does its magic with this song.

Is it just me or does she sounds kind of like Demi Lovato in the verses?
Gives me Demi meets late 00s/early 10s Ke$ha/Cascada.
Video is a choice, but ngl the chorus is quite catchy.

when was the last time that music consumption was on this level? at least on spotify it helps that there's a lot of good music coming out. Maybe because its because 2022 and 2023 were snoozer years compared to 2020, but I dont know the last time i was rooting for this many songs to be hits at once. I'm pretty sure part of the reason music is doing much better on spotify as well is due to various spotify premium offers for free, some up to 6 months. So spotify is taking market share off the likes of Apple Music & Amazon (whose numbers we don't see). So overall streaming numbers are fairly stable but spotify's market share is larger? Would be interesting to compare the weekly spotify data for the top 10 of the streaming chart and compare to overall streaming numbers to see if it's changed over the last couple years.

Good hold for Beyoncé in the second day. Had a ~32% drop if my math is mathing. Will be great to see "JOLENE" & "II MOST WANTED" go top 10. Shame "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" is unlikely to return to #1 but "Like That" is just way too big streaming-wise! It's actually up slightly week on week which is insane. Might fall a bit more notably in its 3rd week perhaps? Either way should see Beyoncé rack up more weeks top 3/5 on the Hot 100 with the album boost. Out of curiosity, does anyone know Beyoncé's single with the most weeks top 10? I wouldn't be surprised if "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" may challenge for that. Crazy In Love and Irreplaceable tie for 16 weeks. I'm not really expecting Texas Hold Em to challenge it. Will probably perform similar to Break My Soul, or maybe just a little over 10 weeks. We do have the next Future & Metro Boomin album in a couple weeks and then Taylor not long after. I think if its radio stays steady it could rise back into the top 10 after the album bombs. Although 16-17 weeks may be pushing it. I think it's spent 6 weeks in the top 10 so far and is guarenteed a 7th/8th. Would love it if she managed to get her longest running top 10 hit though!

Happy that we get a 3rd single before the album, hopefully another top 10 hit for Dua in the UK/internationally!

So sweet I give you kisses in the backseat I whisper secrets in the backbeat You make me cry, you make me happy, happy The song is a mood when out walking and seeing so many attractive guys. Like this song gets me in the mood and singing to random guys (in my head) wishing I could be their bodyguard and ride shotgun (if you know what I mean).

keep and eye on "i like the way you kiss me", that song will be huge. its totally addictive. Y’all said the same bout Murder on the Dance-floor, My Love Mine All Mine and End of Beginning…… To be fair "Murder On The Dancefloor" suffered from the TikTok fisaco with songs being taken off. "My Love Mine All Mine" was streaming very well for ages (months of 1 million+ streams a day) and still is. Main issue was radio never picked it up significantly :( "End of Beginning" is actually on its way to become a decent sized hit. Rose to #11 in the previous Hot 100. Although the Future/Beyoncé album bombs will push it down a bit, it's doing really well on spotify with over 1 million streams/day and is climbing Pop/HAC/Alternative radio currently.

Great sales for Beyoncé! I hope the album holds up decently in the coming days so that it might trend towards a 400k+ opening.

Hoping she'll get a big enough boost for "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" to return to #1, although with how big "Like That" currently is it'll be difficult.
Really impressive that she had her biggest streaming debut on Amazon and Spotify. Really interested to see how big the numbers are for spotify - hoping she manages to do 80-100 million! Biggest streaming debut so far is ~59 million for Future & Metro just last week. Beyoncé likely won't do as big numbers in the US but should do much better globally.

"Bodyguard" fast becoming one of my favourite tracks she's done - LOVE her vocals at the end of the song, belt it Bey! Lots of other great tracks. Another great album for Beyoncé, but I expect nothing less!
Just a shame she doesn't want to release music videos anymore. Would kill for some for both this and Renaissance.

The "Cuff It" of the album. If they play their cards right, this will be a big hit!

This gets better and better on each listen. Turning into one of my favourite tracks on the album.

It'll be interesting to see how "Like That" does in the coming weeks. Taylor might not even be able to debut at #1 if its streaming holds up. Might be "The Box" of this year. ? You know Taylor’s last real new single debuted at 550 or 600 points right? Honestly, I completely forgot how big the debut for "Anti-Hero" was! For some reason I was thinking it was 350-400. Since then spotify has grown quite a bit so she could outdo herself if the quality of her next album is on par with Midnights.

Like That seems like it’ll stay at #1 until Taylor comes. Amazing for a diss track.. It'll be interesting to see how "Like That" does in the coming weeks. Taylor might not even be able to debut at #1 if its streaming holds up. Might be "The Box" of this year. I also find it hard to believe a song from Beyoncé's album will challenge it next week? Even if "I Like That" drops a bit in the second week, it'll still be a very strong #1. In fact given how well its streaming is doing, it may even approach 500 points this week? *_*

The song is HOT! Obvs it is not that different from what has been made public, but it's really mellow, super sexy. Even if it's not a hit, it's a pretty solid song. Oh, btw, album comens May 17th ;) Exciting! I'm glad she decided to go the R&B route. I feel like she'll find bigger success/longevity on Urban/Rhythmic radio with the odd crossover to Pop/HAC. "Wild Side" is still a total bop and Urban/Rhythmic radio really helped it to have some longevity on the Hot 100! I hope she films a killer music video for the song!

I would say this is the most radio-friendly song on the album, bar "Vampire". Much more radio-friendly than "Bad Idea Right". I can see it going top 10 on Pop radio fairly easily. Gives me "Bad Guy" meets "Good For You" vibes. If her team plays their cards right it should do well and become another hit for her. Perhaps the second biggest hit of the album behind "Vampire". I disagree, I would definitely say Get Him Back! (hence it already getting quite a bit of airplay) and Love Is Embarrassing.
I would say "Obsessed" is more instant from the get go and the verses are better (particualrly the production). "Get Him Back!" has a great chorus though and deserved to be a bigger hit than what it was.

I wonder if "Obsessed" will trend up throughout the week and debut top 10? It had a good hold day 2 on spotify. Will likely see it climb back in the top 10 on spotify with some of the Future & Metro Boomin album falling.
I have to say the last few weeks or so have been really fun chart-wise with so many big releases and lots of unexpected things happening! Will be nice to see a number of songs become recurrent this week with the Future & Metroboomin/Hozier/Olivia debuts.
I believe these are the songs that will be going recurrent?
Morgan Wallen - "Last Night" Morgan Wallen - "Thinkin' Bout Me" Luke Combs - "Fast Car"
SZA - "Snooze" may also be at risk depending on how big/strong the album bomb is. Although will likely fall to ~20-25 as opposed to below 25.

I'm happy that it's doing well on streaming and making a big splash on radio the first couple days, but long-term I don't really see it performing any better than Bad Idea Right, because like that, it just doesn't sound too radio friendly to me. I would say this is the most radio-friendly song on the album, bar "Vampire". Much more radio-friendly than "Bad Idea Right". I can see it going top 10 on Pop radio fairly easily. Gives me "Bad Guy" meets "Good For You" vibes. If her team plays their cards right it should do well and become another hit for her. Perhaps the second biggest hit of the album behind "Vampire".

The deluxe release was a good idea. As much of a mess as this era has been handled, this should boost the album quite nicely and "Obsessed" should be able to become a nice sized hit, hopefully another top 10!
