charts discussion BB: "SICKO MODE" vs. "Thank u, next" for #1 next week

Quote

"Next," which plummets 29 percent in overall activity week-over-week, wins a fairly tight race over Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode" (up 4 percent), which spends a fourth total frame at its No. 2 Hot 100 high. The track keeps at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (37 million, up 5 percent) and rises 7-6 on Digital Song Sales (18,000, up 3 percent) and 9-8 on Radio Songs (62 million, up 3 percent). "Sicko" posts a fifth week at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

 

With the sharp decline of "Next" and the advance of "Sicko," the latter seems in play for No. 1 on the Hot 100 next week, although if Grande releases a proper video for the former during the current tracking week (ending Nov. 29), "Next" would likely surge in streaming. Grande has released two videos for "Next" so far -- an audio clip upon its release Nov. 3 and a lyric video Nov. 6 -- and has since teased the song's forthcoming official proper video, believed to be in the vein of such early 2000s movies as Mean Girls, Bring It On, Legally Blonde and 13 Going on 30.

Id love Drake to get another #1 this year.  Hopefully billboard will give him the credit as he is rapping most of the song. 

[Thuggin]

Eh. Whatever. Sicko Mode is huge so it can snatch one week. TUN would return to #1 anyway.

[Katamari]

Girl, the entitlement jumped out. It took ariana 50 11 years to get a #1 and this is how you act at...

ariana proved her point.

i wanted Halsey to replace but hey hopefully all3 get a #1.

[Green]

What?   I didn't see this one coming 

[Ashley Banks]

I love Sicko Mode so I hope it can get one week at #1, as long as Ariana goes back the following week. It's a shame that the week it was supposed to go #1 was the same week TUN dropped 

[Aciid]

Pull thru Sicko  

[fossora]

Sicko deserves it, it has been in the charts in top 5 for months now

Huh?  How am I entitled? I literally just said I’m fine with Sicko Mode snatching because it’s bigger than its peak reflects. I’m a little disappointed TUN will likely fall off, but it’s probably returning to #1 after the video.

Would love for Travis to get the #1 - even if its just for 1 week. Sicko Mode is amazing

[Tom Vercetti]

it won’t need a discount and album release for #1 

[Lady Bird]

I hope this counts for Drake 

[El Chico]

Sicko mode is a bop so it definitely deserves it good on Ariana for even getting #1 so as a fan of hers I’am content with this  

[Roman Holiday]

Sicko Mode doesn’t need it, but a week at #1 would be deserving. I feel like it’s much bigger than GLY was, ironically.
