There will be a battle for #9 and #10 this week. Don't know why, but I think NTLTC will be #9 and Delicate #10.

Yeah, possible.  Radio may be hard to predict (Delicate's gain/hold vs. NTLTC's decline) and there are several days left in the airplay tracking period.   I love a nail biter.

There are also 2 days left for a last minute discount - haha!

Bebe snapping, please go top 40

If 6ix9ine had released FEFE on Friday instead of Monday, he would have had enough points to debut around #3-5.

I thought it was released on Sunday.

[marc980]

Hopefully Delicate won't become one more 2018 song having a #11 peak, really want that on top 10

How is she done? Let's not start this s**t. She clearly isn't on the radio side cause Bed is doing good on Pop, and she's also credited as a lead in FEFE, and that's flying up everywhere digitally, and it sure all isn't because of 69, and Murda. This is the most promo she's done for one of her songs since Chun.

she is featured on Fefe

It's either or cause some places have it all 3 with a comma in between, or it's featured.

[annoymous1]

Yikes...FEFE is expected to debut at #10 in this weeks Top 10 ( hopefully it's not true ) , but in the event it does debut in the Top 10.. Hopefully it has a short stay in the top 10 because the last thing we need is another Violent Offender hitting #1 again.

On one hand, I'm glad Nicki is getting another top 10 out of this era of hers because it's been an entire mess so far. On the other hand, it's terribly sad that it took her collaborating with a sex offender to get that. It might debut in the top 10, but just how much of that will be because of it's video's views? Right now, I don't see it being a strong top 10 record, especially once it's video streams slow down, yet alone see it making a push for #1. People are currently swarming to stream and check out the song BECAUSE of who Nicki collaborated with. We still have to see how it does on radio, but I fully expect this song to start dipping on streaming platforms as early as next week's tracking week.

let's be real. Bed isn't gonna do much, the MV is already out. And she's featured on FEFE.

[jayhawk1117]

Lol she's touring with him too. Aaaaaaaand she's canceled lol.

I highly doubt a 69 song is gonna do well in the airplay department.

Like I said earlier, there are some places where all 3 are credited as lead, and then the other, but we'll see when it officially charts. But in regards to her being over, nope, clearly she's about to go on tour.

And it was the most added on Urban and Rhythmic, I mean let's do this.

Am I the only one thinking that Perfect will reach 52 weeks in the Hot 100 and probably beat the recurrent rule if an album bomb doesn't happen the following week?

Seems very likely. At this rate, it'll join Gods Plan as the only songs released in 2018 to top a million in sales before the year is over.

Would be insane if Drake were to have the two best selling and most streamed songs of the year

I was thinking the same thing. I feel like Drake will end the year having 4/5 of the biggest songs of the year with God's Plan, Nice for What, In My Feelings and Look Alive. If In My Feelings continues to hold as far as streaming and sales go, it'll be one of the biggest songs of the year by the end of the year for sure. Did you also peep how GREAT it's doing globally, especially on Spotify? Feel like it'll cross 500/600 million streams globally by the end of year.

Look Alive? Wasn't that the one he was only featured on that just had a decent top 10 run? A hit yes but not top 4 of the year I wouldn't think...

Based on mid-year reports from Nielsen Music, the four biggest hits of the year so far are God's Plan, Psycho, Look Alive and Nice for What. In My Feelings should join that list at the end of year, so that gives Drake 4/5 or worst case 4/10. Look Alive stayed in the top 10 for WEEKS. It did really well on streaming, the video did really well and it's certified 2x platinum already. Better Now should be a top 10 song of the year at the end of the year, too.

Based on today's updates, IMF could overtake Better Now as early as next tomorrow and could end the week with 98-100 million audience impressions. That's crazy. In My Feelings is shooting up radio faster than God's Plan and Nice for What did. Also, this week should be the third consecutive week In My Feelings wins the greatest gainer award in radio. Nice for What had that same award for three consecutive weeks, too, right?

[Deleted]

I still haven't listened to FEFE and don't plan on doing so either even though I love Nicki. At least it won't ever reach #1, thank god for Daddy Drake.

[thegreatdivine]

^ I'm staying far away from that song as well. Hopefully Nicki gets her top 10 and it dips promptly down the charts. That 69 character is like a cancer, my goodness.

I would not have guessed that at all. I believe you, since you are talking about actual stats, but it's weird because didn't it only peak at like #6?

[badrobot]

It looks like Cardi B will replace herself at #1 on airplay, which aside from a brief period in 2002-2005, seems quite rare.

Looking back, here are the other artists I could find who have achieved that:

Justin Bieber "Sorry"/"Love Yourself" (2016)
The Weeknd "Can't Feel My Face"/"The Hills" (2015)
Rihanna "Only Girl"/"What's My Name" (2010-2011)
T.I. "Whatever You Like"/"Live Your Life" (2008)
Mariah Carey "We Belong Together"/"Shake It Off" (2005)
50 Cent "Candy Shop"/"Hate It Or Love It" (2005)
Usher "Yeah!"/"Burn"/"Confessions Pt 2" (2004) - 3 in a row!
50 Cent "21 Questions"/"Magic Stick" (2003)
Nelly "Hot in Herre"/"Dilemma" (2002)
Ja Rule "Always on Time"/"Ain't It Funny" (2002)
Mariah Carey "Fantasy"/"One Sweet Day" (1995)
Boyz II Men "I'll Make Love To You"/"On Bended Knee" (1994)

I didn't find anything prior to 1994.

Can radio grow the average audience already. Before the middle’s last leg it was usually 175-200 m on radio for a number 1 :/

[annoymous1]

Girls Like You is gonna hit #1 on radio tommorow I'm actually surprised I Like It hasn't gained a lot like it used to did before it hit #1 on radio. Also IMF has been gaining fast on radio better than God's Plan and Nice For What I expect IMF to hit #1 on radio eventually if it keeps gaining like this.

The Nielsen reports he's referring to have to do with streaming, which is no surprise that Drake and Post Malone have the most streamed songs so far this year. The Billboard Hot 100, as you probably know takes into account digital songs sales and radio. Look Alive didn't do that well in either, which explains the peak you're mentioning.

[CF15]

Lol, how does "Perfect" keep going back up? And it looks like "In My Feelings" will probably be #1 for at least 10 weeks, with such a huge lead over everything else in its 3rd week at #1...
