Besides Ariana and arguably Jack Harlow, were there any other notable releases today?

[strongerq]

Luke Combs #5 on Apple Music US. -This got released at midnight Eastern Time ? Or it was released earlier, so that would explain why it is so high ?? 

'positions' is at #12.

[Enigma.]

Luke has a deluxe version of his album out, so several new tracks.

[starlord]

This could be the last week for Circles on Hot 100. :'(

Considering Positions album bomb next week.

I think that it would be like 24th or 25th. Most of Ari’s album will be in the lower half of the Hot 100 (or at least between 50-26)

Grande's CD-single availability will throw off dem sales predictions. :) Hopefully more acts release physical singles for new releases. The practice of bundling them with immediate digital downloads and not shipping the single out for weeks was a little sketchy, though if the singles now are shipped within the week of release, it's all good.

Holy shit, I could've never predicted Luke Combs would actually debut in the Top 5 but good for him!

[Enigma.]

Luke Combs is due to have a top ten hit considering he is one of the biggest streaming acts right now (two albums in top 20).

[annoymous1]

Good for Luke Combs if he debuts or in other words is in the top 10. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already since he's been out for a while.

[fridayteenage]

Luke Combs>Ariana on itunes and apple? Twist.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Not only debut in the top 10. But actually manage to have a song in the top 10. Given how weak the Hot 100 has been it wouldn't be surprising.

[HeyHeyHey]

Really pulling for Luke to debut in the top 10 this week. It would be super cool to have both Luke Combs & Morgan Wallen debut in the top 10 just a few months apart from each other.

I hope he comes through with one as well. After letting country hacks like FGL, Sam Hunt and Dan + Shay have top 10 hits and all labeled as ‘country’ really is something

[iHype.]

Luke Combs #1 on Apple Music!

First Country song to ever top Apple Music.

Wow that is incredible! Not even FGL or Sam Hunt could do it with their big crossover hits!?

[musicspy]

I just dropped by to say the new Ty Dolla album serves heat! Havent been so positively surprised by a rapper's album since Pop Smoke. Probably the album is underperforming though

Maren Morris first. She needs another Top 10 hit besides The Middle

GOOD!!!! This is coming from a Post Malone stan. Circles is just decent and it needs to GOOOOO AWAAAAY NOOOOW!!!!

Luke Combs coming for #1 😳

[lazer]

About time Country beginning to transition to streaming.

[rideordie]

What if Luke combs snatch that no.1 next week? 🤭.
I mean he’s performing better than Ariana on every metric so far and I feel he’ll get more streams on Spotify than AM. This is going to be interesting. Only those website sales can save Ariana at this point

[lurker2]

In general country is weaker in Spotify, so I bet he won't do*quite* as well. He'll still have a very strong day, though. Probably a number two debut IMO.

[kierz7]

When last did a pure Country song by a solid Country act chart atop the Hot 100?

Lonestar’s “Amazed” in 2000?

I presume Underwood’s “Inside Your Heaven” (American Idol winners single) could count also.

•••

Justice for “Breathe; YBWM; Need You Now”.

Exactly. Similar to Morgan's performance.

The fact that it's even competitive is really bizarre to me. I know country artists typically do well on AM, but I would've assumed from TUN's great performance there last year that she would snatch the #1 fairly easily. Granted things could narrow up later today, but I'd say she might already have too much of a deficit to take it from Luke given that she's at #10.

[Mayman]

I think Ariana's sales will give her the #1, assuming they are in the same area as SWU and ROM.
