Blinding Lights will be in the Top 10 because we are closely tracking its position each week as it nears the Radioactive record. Half of us will keep on willing it on, while the other half will want us to let it go already.

the chart doesn't track posts by pulse music board members

I wonder what such a chart would look like? 🤔

Called for the Year End Top 10 last month already. It's not that shocking though, Remix was released on 1st October, which is roughly 6 weeks from billboard's new YE list.
Given streaming/radio boost, it could do 52 weeks on Hot 100. And for the Top spot Peaches, LTDO, Montero(with remix) could be solid bets.

Montero is already down to #7 on Hot 100... It needs a gigantic remix boost to reach top ten on Billboard Year End.

It's lacking on radio too, with 17M and 3 radio format. They could do 6/7 format, this song still have massive potential there, I don't know for what they r waiting.

Agreed, a lot can happen in 12 weeks. I mean, Levitating could lose its momentum, just like I Hope and Go Crazy did after reaching #3, and fall back below Blinding Lights. And even if it were to keep this momentum, whose to say that SYT or LTDO doesn’t overtake Levitating by then?

The Body (Remix) isn't a remix of Megan's song. It's a UK hip-hop song that's been massive overseas and now has a TikTok challenge.

After Don't Rush became a minor hit last year, I've been wondering if we'd get more UK hip-hop acts crossing over to the US over the next several years, especially with drill starting to establish itself as the formal successor to trap. With Body, I think that just might be the case. Also, it has a good chance of going to #1 on the UK charts this week (I believe it would be the first UK drill song ever to do so).

I was hoping Take Me Back to London or Rover would be a hit here but that didn’t happen.

Well and so even if the current momentum doesn't hold, "Levitating" could do it in 15 weeks (or whatever) if it hangs around.

Would the Blessed Madonna version count as the same song and its streams count toward Levitating on the charts?

[singingrulebritannia]

Are the Levitating album version and remixes not combined on the Spotify charts? I don't remember them ever charting separately at the same time, but I could easily be mistaken.

They’ve charted separately on the global charts

The impact of two Madonnas we love to see
(the Madonna/Missy remix is my fave of all the versions)

Mood is definitely out of the YE #1 race, it's dropped below top 20 already on Hot 100. I think it's between Olivia/Silk Sonic/Dua at this point. Bruno and Olivia still have the album boost to come.

Also, why the hell did J. Cole name his single Interlude

[gikem]

Sorry, but I'm definitely more interested in that highly-anticipated Isaiah Rashad single coming tonight than an album interlude from J. Cole.
