Ariana Grande's '7 Rings' Vying For No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 Debut

By Gary Trust | January 24, 2019

The song could launch as her second Hot 100 leader.

Ariana Grande is challenging for a No. 1 launch on next week's Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Feb. 2), as her new single "7 Rings" could blast in at the summit, following its Jan. 18 release.

In projecting partial-week data, "7 Rings," released on Republic Records, could launch with over 70 million U.S. streams, 20 million in airplay audience and 80,000 downloads sold, placing it in line to arrive as the most-streamed and most-sold song of the week.

The Hot 100 blends weekly streaming, airplay and sales data, according to Nielsen Music.

"7 Rings," which channels the melody of The Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things," and its official video, arrived at the start of the Jan. 18-24 streaming and tracking week feeding next week's Hot 100 (with airplay measured Jan. 21-27).

As airplay for this week's charts (dated Jan. 26) was tracked Jan. 14-20, the single debuted at No. 30 on the latest Pop Songs airplay chart and drew 16 million in all-format airplay audience in its first three days of release.

"7 Rings" is the radio follow-up to Grande's first Hot 100 No. 1 "Thank U, Next," which debuted atop the Nov. 17, 2018-dated chart and spent seven total weeks at the summit. Both songs are from Grande's forthcoming album, Thank U, Next, the follow-up to Sweetener, which arrived as her third Billboard 200 No. 1 in September.

If "7 Rings" debuts at No. 1 on the Hot 100, it would mark just the 33rd single (of 1,082 No. 1s all-time) to open on top. Plus, Grande would become just the fifth artist with multiple No. 1 entrances, joining Mariah Carey, the leader with three, Justin Bieber, Drake and Britney Spears (two each).

Grande should face her greatest challenges for the Hot 100's top spot next week from reigning No. 1 "Without Me" by Halsey and former leader and current runner-up "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" by Post Malone and Swae Lee.

Highlights of next week's Hot 100 are scheduled to post on Billboard.com Monday (Jan. 28), with all charts posting the following day (Jan. 29).

“Channels” the melody of My Favorite Things? Try uses the exact melody, or steals the melody...

[imbondz]

If love to know how much a #1 song makes $ in a given week.

How much money does this bring in?

In projecting partial-week data, "7 Rings," released on Republic Records, could launch with over 70 million U.S. streams, 20 million in airplay audience and 80,000 downloads sold, placing it in line to arrive as the most-streamed and most-sold song of the week.


Anyone have any idea?

[rimetm]

Well, streaming service payouts vary, but going by the 3 leads (Apple Music pays ~$.008 per stream, Spotify pays ~$.004, and YouTube pays a paltry ~$.0005) we can biasedly average that out to about $0.003/stream with YouTube being such a notable player in the streaming total. Sales payouts are still around 70 cents for a $1.29 song.

.7*80000+.003*70000000=266000

So, the label's making about $266,000 from this launch week if the predictions pan out. Incidentally, the sales revenue only comprises ~21% of the total revenue with this formula, in case you ever wonder why the Hot 100 isn't really a revenue chart.

It’s incredible how Rihanna is the 1st/2nd most certified artist in U.S history and yet her team has failed to update the certifications of her biggest songs. LMAO.

1) Love The Way You Lie = Eligible for 13X Platinum.

2) We Found Love = Eligible for 11X Platinum.

3) Stay = Eligible for 9X Platinum.

Hopefully when her next era begins...

[kierz7]

It still confuses me as to why Billboard waited so late to include R&B radio into the overall airplay component chart. There were so many Urban hits that were forsaken the pole position of the Hot 100 because of it.

For example, in 1997...

Elton John’s “Candle In The Wind” wouldn’t have lasted 14 weeks at number one if R&B airplay from Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna” was included at the time.

Elton John’s 7th week at #1 / Usher’s 4th week at #2:

• Candle In The Wind: 186K Sales Units / 30M AI.

• You Make Me Wanna: 120K Sales Units / 55M AI + 42M AI R&B radio = 97M AI.

[The current airplay #1 at that time was Sugar Ray’s “Fly” with 87M AI].

In any case, “Candle...” would have been an 8-10 week #1 and “You Make Me Wanna” would have been a 3-5 week #1.

If you made a list of the amount of songs that didn't get number one because Billboard's formula didn't consider everything, you'd have a pretty long list.

The 90s charts would likely have had some notable differences if R&B airplay had been included. Acts like Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and (eep) R. Kelly would likely have performed even better than they did. Country airplay should also have been factored in, which would have given George Strait and Garth Brooks a hefty Top 40 total.

Yes, it would have been very interesting. I also wonder if Mariah would have had even more weeks at #1 since most of her hits also had significant R&B play.

HDD has a "Song Revenue Chart" but it counts only on-demand streams and sales.

[jebsib]

The labels didn't want r&b or country airplay factored into the Hot 100 airplay.
Both were considered niche and insignificant until Top 40 splintered in 1991 and Nielsen spotlighted what the audience levels were.
At that point no label could agree on the Billboard chart formula until 1998.

[Gary]

For the longest time the Hot 100 was a pop chart, it became less of one beginning in 1991

[kcdawg13]

I can't be the only one who is boggled by Drip Too Hard's longevity? 14 weeks in the Top 10, one week at #4 with 13 weeks between 10-7. It's been in the Top 10 as long as In My Feelings was, and that track was number-one for 10 weeks.

[kierz7]

Mariah Carey scored 6 number ones on the Classic R&B chart in the 1990’s, her biggest being “Always Be My Baby” during that period.

Nevertheless, at the time, Carey garnered enough crossover airplay on Pop radio to constantly peak high on the Hot 100 unlike other Female R&B acts whom were strictly Urban-based, catered to a primarily Black audience and achieved sporadic high peaks on the Hot 100 ala. Mary J Blige, Faith Evans, Kelly Price, En Vogue, Xscape, Aaliyah, Brandy, Monica etc. so she was never affected all that much especially in the early-to-mid ‘90’s. She would have charted well regardless.

Ironically, Carey only has two entries in the top 100 of Billboard’s “All Time R&B/Hip Hop Songs” list; ‘We Belong Together’ at #11 and ‘Always Be My Baby’ at #90. She has far more on the All Time Pop Songs lists conversely.

[Gary]

To be fair, In My Feelings set the record for shortest stay in the top 10 for a 10 week+ number one hit

[brady47]

That's crazy how long it took for R&B to be added. Imagine how much bigger "One Sweet Day" or "The Boy Is Mine" or even TLC hits would've been.

It makes airplay hits like "Always Be My Baby" even more impressive (year end #1 airplay song of 1996).

“The Boy Is Mine” experienced it’s chart run when R&B airplay was finally added into the overall airplay panel.

Aside from its consistently high sales at the time also, what else do you think helped it garner 13 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100?

Ironically, although popular of course, “One Sweet Day” wasn’t as big nor omnipresent on the R&B charts/R&B airplay compared to Carey’s other Daydream era hits aka. “Fantasy” and “Always Be My Baby”. In fact, it was much bigger on Pop/Rhythmic Top 40/AC.

br]
“Always Be My Baby” was facing competition from Bone-Thugs-Harmony’s, “Tha Crossroads”, Tupac’s “How Do You Want It/California Love” and Toni Braxton’s “You’re Makin’ Me High”, but still managed to stay in the top ten of the R&B airplay chart for several months where most other hits were falling. That song was huge, as was the “Fantasy” (Remix) with Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

That's all good information, but separate from my point. I didn't claim she did better on the R&B charts. I said she would have had added airplay from those charts and thus may have had longer runs at #1. For instance, neither the #1 song before "Dreamlover" ("Can't Help Falling In Love") or the one after ("I'd Do Anything For Love") received significant R&B play, so "Dreamlover" may have had additional weeks at #1 since it did get good R&B play. "Hero" was #1 for 4 weeks and then fell to #2 behind "All For Love" by Bryan/Rod/Sting. If R&B play counted, "Hero" may have very well stayed ahead of "AFL" as it had R&B play and that song did not. Additionally, maybe "Can't Let Go" would have gone to #1 instead of peaking at #2 behind "All 4 Love" (lol at the same song title) since "CLG" had a lot more R&B play.

Obviously other non-Mariah songs would have charted better, too, and this is all speculation. I was just throwing one aspect out there.

Middle Child has reached #1 in iTunes and is supposedly #2 in Apple Music. It might be enough to debut in the Hot 100 even with just over a day of activity.

I still occasionally look at the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart and imagine that being the scenario if Billboard had never changed the Hot 100 into an all-genre chart. As much as I love the charts from the very early 90s (when Top 40 was beginning to heavily splinter) I think Billboard made the right choice.

It's between 10-8 for 13 weeks
If only it didn't have that week at #4, then it would've peaked at #8 and nearing 15 weeks in top 10, a whacky record.

Well sales was carrying it in my mind, because it had 13 weeks at #1 but only peaked at #2 on airplay for a single week (and considering that was with R&B is kind of surprising to me, I thought it'd be more of a radio monster)

That's really impressive because "Always Be My Baby" peaked at #2 airplay for 10 weeks, but it ranked #1 in the 1996 year end chart (besting "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion which spent 14 weeks at #1!). So it's radio audience must have been crazy and it still gets a lot of recurrent play today.

It may be her biggest revenue song from airplay royalties in the US
