Any update on Nonsense or any songs just outside the Top 50 (that could unseat 2BL tomorrow) @Ger-55?

The numbers should be somewhat higher but this is what I can see:

 

Nonsense: 191 | 0.438

Can't Stop Won't Stop: 98 | 0.069

Paralyzed: 81 | 0.108

Escapism: 80 | 0.171

Bejeweled: 67 | 0.167

I don't think there are many threats...

The difference between them last Friday was around 0.42 and Billboard monitors a slight different panel (less stations) than Mediabase's.

Well, I guess it'll join "Love Story", "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" & "Delicate" as her 4th #2 peaker.

Gurl, the difference is bigger this Friday, plus she isn't done yet.  

Unholy really was the surprise smash of the year. It’s having legs which I never expected. We love a well-rounded hit
