This is true being an Asian myself I hear "Stay" more often compared to "good 4 u" (as such, in the current Top 50 in Spotify for the Philippines where I live, "Stay" is in Top 10 while "good 4 u" is at #38)

I don’t know if that 12.9k sales figure for IB is correct, considering it had 8 (discounted) versions on iTunes. But if the number is correct, it would rank right there with TMB’s first week as the biggest sales flop of 2021.

What number are you expecting? Seems about right to me
If the numbers are right the 8 listings and the discounts will bump it back up to #4 sales. An improvement thanks to the 8 listings and discount which was expected

According to all metrics, Stay is bigger than G4u even here in the US. The only thing G4u is equal to Stay is weeks at #1 on the RS 100. Other than that, Stay has more weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 and better longevity than G4u. Stay is still going strong in Week 14, while G4u was already showing signs of decline in Week 10. Not to mention, G4u never had a week where it was consensus #1 on both the Hot 100 and RS 100, while Stay had 4 such weeks.

[Gary]

Stay is bigger now in week 14 only because Good 4 U has been out longer

Good 4 U was #3 in week 14 and 7 weeks later still top 10, in week 10 Good 4 U was completing its 9th week at #2

Rolling Stone chart is irrelevant

I was expecting 20k-25k sales, and for it to at least beat Fancy Like this week. That said, I'll always wonder why LNX waited until Thursday to put out all the discounted versions, instead of putting it out during the beginning of the tracking week. If he does that, IB would have easily beat out Stay for the Hot 100 #1.

Stay is predicted to be at 323 points this week. G4u had fallen below 300 points in Week 10. In fact, G4u’s total that week may not have been enough to hold off IB this week.

Adele's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits: 'Rolling in the Deep,' 'Hello' & More

As "Easy on Me" arrives, a recap of Adele's greatest Hot 100 successes.
As Adele returns with "Easy on Me," the first single from the British singer-songwriter's album 30, expected Nov. 19, Billboard takes a look at her biggest songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

The powerhouse singer and songwriter first entered the Hot 100 in November 2008 with "Chasing Pavements," the lead single from her debut album, 19. The ballad hit No. 21 in February 2009, a peak number apt given her pending vault to superstar status.


Her sophomore album, 21, earned her four more entries on the chart, including three No. 1 smashes starting with "Rolling in the Deep," her first leader on the list, and the top title on the 2011 year-end Hot 100. "Deep" dominated the Hot 100 for seven weeks, ahead of two more No. 1s from 21: "Someone Like You" (for five weeks) and "Set Fire to the Rain" (two).

Following the 2012 soundtrack single "Skyfall," a No. 8 Hot 100 hit, Adele returned with a vengeance in November 2015 with "Hello," which introduced her third LP, 25. The soaring song debuted atop the Hot 100, where it ruled for 10 weeks. 25 sold 3.38 million copies in its first week in the U.S., marking the largest sales week for an album since MRC Data began tracking music purchases in 1991.

The set has sold 9.6 million copies in the U.S. to date. Meanwhile, 21 is up to 12.1 million sold and ranks as the No. 1 album in the Billboard 200's entire history.

Let's do a "deep" dive into Adele's biggest hits on the Hot 100.


Adele's Top 10 Biggest Hot 100 Hits

1, "Rolling in the Deep," peak position No. 1 (7 weeks), peak date May 21, 2011
2, "Someone Like You," No. 1 (5 weeks), Sept. 17, 2011
3, "Hello," No. 1 (10 weeks), Nov. 14, 2015
4, "Set Fire to the Rain," No. 1 (2 weeks), Feb. 4, 2012
5, "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," No. 8, Sept. 24, 2016
6, "Rumour Has It," No. 16, May 5, 2012
7, "When We Were Young," No. 14, March 5, 2016
8, "Skyfall," No. 8, Oct. 20, 2012
9, "Water Under the Bridge," No. 26, Feb. 11, 2017
10, "Chasing Pavements," No. 21, Feb. 28, 2009

Adele's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits chart is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, through the Oct. 16, 2021, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.

Adele's 'Easy on Me' Off to Fast Start, Aiming for Splashy Chart Debut

One of the rarest events in music is upon us once again. It’s Adele Season on Billboard’s charts!

On Oct. 14, the superstar released her first new song in nearly six years, “Easy on Me.” The piano ballad premiered at 7 p.m. ET across streaming services and digital retailers worldwide, alongside its official music video. (The song premiered globally, so, while it bowed at 7 p.m. ET in the U.S., it arrived concurrently at 12 a.m. in the U.K. on Oct. 15.)

“Easy on Me” is the first single from Adele’s upcoming fourth studio album, 30, due out on Nov. 19. Adele last released new music in November of 2015, with the release of her third album, 25. (And the 25 album came more than four years after her second album, 21.)


Adele’s track record on Billboard’s charts is impressive. Among her achievements from only three studio albums: two No. 1s on the Billboard 200 albums chart (with a combined 34 weeks atop the list), four No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, four No. 1s on the Pop Airplay chart, five No. 1s on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, five No. 1s on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart and three No. 1s on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.

Her last two albums, 25 and 21, were led by the singles “Hello” and “Rolling in the Deep,” respectively. Both tracks hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 -- “Hello” opened in the top slot (dated Nov. 14, 2015) and spent 10 weeks at No. 1, while “Rolling” ruled for seven weeks in 2011.

INITIAL U.S. SALES & STREAMS

“Easy on Me” sold nearly 15,000 digital downloads in its first five hours of availability in the U.S. (7 p.m.-midnight ET on Thursday, Oct. 14) according to MRC Data. Meanwhile, it collected over 3 million on-demand audio and video streams in the same time frame. (Digital retail stores and streaming services’ U.S. tracking week, as reported to MRC Data, ends at midnight ET [9 p.m. PT] every Thursday.)

On Friday, Oct. 15 in the U.S., “Easy” sold another 27,000 downloads, according to initial reports to MRC Data.

Adding up Oct. 14 and Oct. 15, the song has sold over 42,000 in a little over a day in the U.S. To put that number in perspective, only five songs have sold at least that many downloads in a single week in the U.S. in 2021, and four of them are by BTS.

Further updates on “Easy on Me’s” U.S. sales and streams, as well as its global sales and streaming performance, will be reported as the week progresses.

Five Ways the Music Industry Has Changed Since Adele Last Released an Album

U.S. RADIO AIRPLAY

"Easy on Me" is off to a scorching start on U.S. radio.

The single drew 897 plays in its first five hours (7 p.m.-midnight ET on Thursday, Oct. 14), on 250 stations that report to Billboard's all-genre Radio Songs chart (whose panel includes over 1,300 stations covering multiple formats). Those 897 plays translate to 3.1 million all-format audience impressions for the song in that span, helped by hourly plays on multiple radio chains.

In its first full day of tracking (Friday, Oct. 15), "Easy" was played 4,160 times, generating 21 million in audience, again propelled, in part, by hourly spins. It ranked as the No. 1 most-played and most-heard song on radio Friday, ahead of runner-up "Stay" by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber (4,114 plays, 13.2 million in audience).

"Easy" drew 25 or more plays from its release through the end of Friday on 111 Radio Songs reporters, including stations in each of the 10 largest radio markets.

The song is set to debut on at least three individual format radio airplay charts, which are due to update Tuesday, Oct. 19, on Billboard.com. It could launch in the top 10 on Adult Contemporary; if it does, it would claim the first top 10 grand entrance for a non-holiday song since the chart adopted MRC Data information in 1993. The track is also likely to begin in the top 20 of Adult Pop Airplay and the top 25 of Pop Airplay.

The charts measure plays on respective panels of adult contemporary, adult pop and mainstream pop radio stations in the U.S., with the next editions, dated Oct. 30, reflecting airplay covering Oct. 11-17. "Easy" could, thus, debut on the surveys from airplay over its first three full days, plus its first five hours of availability.

HOT 100

What will be the impact of "Easy" on the airplay-, sales- and streaming-based Billboard Hot 100?

The chart's tracking week for those metrics runs Friday through Thursday each week. "Easy" is eligible to arrive on the forthcoming Hot 100 (dated Oct. 23; covering the tracking week of Oct. 8-14) from only its first five hours of activity on Oct. 14.

“Easy” will make its first seven-day impact on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 30, as well as on the Radio Songs, Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs charts dated Oct. 30, reflecting its performance in the Oct. 15-21 tracking week, the song's first full week of release.

Highlights of the Hot 100 are revealed each Monday on Billboard.com, with the full chart, and all other rankings, updating each Tuesday. Highlights of the Oct. 23-dated Hot 100 will post this coming Monday, Oct. 18, with the full chart updating Oct. 19, while those of the Oct. 30 Hot 100 will publish Oct. 25, with the full chart posting Oct. 26.

BILLBOARD 200

While the 30 album will not be released until Nov. 19, expect Adele’s earlier albums to post gains on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Oct. 23), as well as the Catalog Albums chart.

On the most recently published Billboard 200 (dated Oct. 16, reflecting sales and streaming data in the U.S. for the week ending Oct. 7), 25 jumped from No. 174 to No. 83, while 21 surged from No. 198 to No. 119. Both albums rallied up the list in the wake of Adele’s Oct. 5 announcement of the then-forthcoming release of “Easy on Me.”

The top 10 of the Oct. 23-dated Billboard 200 chart is scheduled to be announced on Sunday, Oct. 17. All of Billboard’s Oct. 23-dated charts are scheduled to post in full to Billboard.com on Tuesday, Oct. 19.

It looks like Adele also broke the single day counter total in Spotify too. 24 million....that is a lot.

What exactly are you referring to? I was talking about the fact that the predictors I've seen have Butter exiting this week after 20 weeks instead of the stans letting it stick around like they did with Dynamite.

I’m convinced if Adele releases consistently in the 2020s, she could definitely give Drake a run for his money for his achievements. It’s also funny how they’re both not from the US but still dominate the charts like its their own territory.

[jebsib]

Anyone know the highest (non holiday) debuts on the AC chart?

Adele would be the highest in 28 years, but there must have been some bigger in the previous 30 years?
