Early predictions put RUTH at #1 for sales and streams yet that's still not enough to go #1 on Hot 100 thanks to radio

it doesnt matter if its #2 on billboard. 

 

it is indeed the biggest song in the world this week. 

 

no need radio payola to do that 

 

[Folklore89sm]

Unbelievable. The best song of the year by far 

 

Now let’s get the evil defeated

19.3 million listeners. Is she coming for Madonna’s wig? She has 21.6 million 

[dream8ker]

The best moment in music since the streaming era started. No gimmicks or tricks, people were just reminded or told for this first time this song exists.

It’s been amazing to witness this smashing I’m so glad for her

Any predictions for the album US/UK peaks?

[Fastlane]

What's most unexpected, it's the airplay's fast feedback. 

[Mystic Boy]

The way I'm so happy for Kate, truly one of the most underrated act ever.

And especially for this masterpiece of a song 

 

I was so happy when they used it on the Olympic games intro back in 2012 in London, it made some noise and saw a little resurgence but there was no huge viral  moments like now at that time.

 

I was also very pleased and surprised to discover ”Cloudbusting” being used on Handmaid tales on an incredible scene

 

Still didnt see ST 4th season but cant wait to see the iconic scene where the song was used

#13 in the U.S., although it could end up at #11 considering it's overperforming.

Should be faster though, but expected, hopefully they have no choice and start rotating it.

[Opulent]

A 37 year old song fighting for the #1 spot is absolutely incredible. I’m so happy for Kate, she’s SO underrated, especially in the US. 
 

I’m going to be pressed if airplay keeps her from getting the #1

Oh Imagine rediscover Kate Bush again

[MALAMENTE]

I kinda like this about this era in history with social media and streaming platforms: letting songs that maybe didn't get a lot of success when they were first released receiving love years later. I hope it is a trend to be honest, there's so many songs that I would love to see going Top 10 finally

[bluceleste]

Congrats to Kate on the millions she'll be making this year from this song.

 

Do you think it'll reach a billion stream within 12 months?

the song is only at 190M right now, i think the 1B discussion is a bit too early at this stage.

Unless it’s completely collapses then I don’t think it is. It should be over 300 million by the end of this month and then I think it’s being used again in Stranger Things in July which should boost/keep it stable for a while. 

[AMIT]

Since radio is actually starting to play it maybe it has a chance of going #1 later in July!

 

Would be amazing for it to be #1 on the last week of July considering Kate's bday and mine is on the 30th.
