Does anyone find it ironic that “Blinding Lights” foreshadowed what would happen in Las Vegas and many other major cities across the country. Sin City’s cold and empty, indeed. A truly fitting #1 for the times.

Congrats !

If it keeps moving at this rate, Harry Styles won’t reach number one

I've noticed as well.  Hopefully Harry can get at least one week.  (Please?  lol)

I really like The Weeknd but oh my God this may dethrone "The Hills" on the position of my favorite Weeknd song. Let's see, "Blinding Lights" is #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 and then being the theme song of the weirdest WrestleMania ever, which will also happen this week! Ah, life is truly good (sorry Future and Drake)

[Maximillian]

This song rightfully deserves a #1

[Tea-why]

I am so excited this is #1 on the Hot 100!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spiritboy]

A very well deserved #1. Congrats Abel!

Blinding Lights is #1 in Canada too! His 5th #1.

#1 - US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Israel, Italy, Norway, Scotland, Switzerland...

Undeniably his biggest global hit now. It will probably become his signature song in most countries.

Also, pretty sure this will remain my favorite Hot 100 #1 of 2020.

[It's me, bitch.]

I’m glad this ended up bigger than heartless because it’s better.

[Choco]

To be fair, take out "Heartless" debuting at #1 and it really wasn't a competition to begin with. It ended up becoming a nice top 10 hit but this is on another league.

Slay me!

Can BL stand its ground against the new Drake song? It’s gonna be huge on streaming services, but the way BL is smashing on radio it could fight off Toosie Slide.

[skizzo]

TS is designed to a be a TikTok smash. BL might fend it off initially, but trust me, TS will be #1 for months to come...

I mean does it matter...it hit #1. Probably #1 next week too. I’ll take 2 weeks at #1.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

I think Drake will be #1 for 2 weeks, and then BL will come back. Corona will affect Drake’s streaming too.

"The Weeknd is off to a blinding start this year as Blinding Lights takes an early lead as the UK’s biggest song of 2020 so far.

The ‘80s-inspired track became the Canadian superstar’s first Number 1 on the Official UK Singles Chart in February and has so far notched up five weeks at the summit.

Blinding Lights has logged 698,000 chart sales to date, including 75 million streams, according to Official Charts Company data, which combines physical, downloads and streaming equivalent sales."

#1 on US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs?? I guess Billboard is still racial profiling.

The catch here being there has yet to be a track we've claimed "destined to go viral on Tik Tok" actually go viral on Tik Tok.

And for what it's worth, this is also a Tik Tok meme. Currently blowing up there with thousands of new videos involving trios dancing in unison to the intro uploaded daily.
