Ger Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Ariana Grande, “Yes, And?” (Republic): The house-influenced song, released as the lead single from her upcoming Eternal Sunshine album, was easily the most-anticipated drop of the new year thus far, and came with a new dramatically staged and intricately choreographed music video, as well as instant radio support. But the streams for it, while considerable – it still rests at No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart, though it’s fallen significantly lower on other daily DSP charts – are not so overwhelming that it is likely to blow past Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” which spends its third frame atop the Hot 100 this week. To help get the new song over the top, Grande and her team have also released edited, extended, sped-up, slowed-down, a cappella and instrumental mixes of “Yes, And?” — all of which, as of writing, are currently populating the top 10 of iTunes’ real-time sales chart. The extra sales boost might be enough to make up the difference, but it will likely be something of a photo finish between it and “Lovin,” making for our first real chart suspense atop the Hot 100 of 2024. Jack Harlow, “Lovin on Me” (Genaration Now/Atlantic): For its part, Harlow’s crossover banger has hardly been letting up as the new year has unfolded. “Lovin” remains atop the Streaming Songs chart this week, while dropping just one spot to No. 2 on Digital Song Sales, and jumping 5-2 on Radio Songs. As long as its radio growth continues to offset its inevitable slippage in streams and sales, “Lovin” should remain a No. 1 contender for the near future – and it’s worth noting that Harlow has yet to even release an official remix or deliver a late night or awards show performance of the song, meaning he has still has cards to play if he ever wants to give the song’s momentum another adrenaline shot. https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/ariana-grande-yes-and-hot-100-number-one-debut-1235584424/ 1

Then Taylor dropped a few remixes at the 11th hour and snatched #1 with 700+ points? Of course. Almost all of Anti-Hero’s weeks at #1 were because of gimmicks and remixes. 3 2 8

ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted January 18 ATRL Moderator Posted January 18 Ariana needs to release more remixes to secure the #1. She’ll get dragged but at least she’ll get dragged and be #1
Kasix Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) 5 hours ago, Klein said: How can it be a tight race even with the 50k pure sales? I know Jack has radio on his side but let's be real. I'm sure she is predicted to be #1 with a relatively healthy lead and they are encouraging fans to purchase the song to fully secure the #1. She is at 19th place on AM while jack is like 4th only behind 21 savage’s new songs. on Spotify she is literally doing the same amount of stream as jack. on Amazon music she is at 40th place. meanwhile jack is approaching 70m radio audience. Not to mention billboard will probably filter out a few thousand sales. so yeah it ain’t looking too good for her so far. Edited January 18 by Kasix

Only that 1 week where she would have naturally missed #1. Would have still been a 7 week #1 without it. And a 10+ weeks at #1 if it wasn't for Xmas 5 1

Julia Fox Posted January 18 Posted January 18 it’s not surprising. song was good but not lead single comeback material tbh

Imagine your fave is flopping so hard that you resort to making up false memories and fake version of reality to feel better. that’s some sad behavior right there. 10
Jet Posted January 18 Posted January 18 It’s not going number 1. The numbers don’t add up. Just prepare yourselves. 2 1
kindararenext Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) saying she’s “flopping so hard” meanwhile the song is the most played in the world for five consecutive days (and pulling 7M+ streams on all of them) is crazy Edited January 18 by kindararenext

Yeah that’s the funny thing about all of this. when Taylor and Drake was havin that 550+ points battle, that was literally the clash of titans, Godzilla vs King Kong. Two of the biggest stars duking it out at the most competitive season of music in Q4. and then you have this minor league, B-list contest where their struggle is a get measly 260 points in the middle of freakin January - the driest, deadest month of music where everything on the charts were leftovers from last year. To to put things into proper perspective, 260 points is so low that Drake and Taylor’s 9th album track was higher than that. but somehow they still don’t have the mindfulness to realize how stupid they look to compare them two.

Badgalbriel Posted January 18 Posted January 18 But I mean, even if it goes #1, shouldn't this be much stronger? Like, barely doing 260 points is kind of absurd.
dawnettakins Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) So, apparently now releasing remixes and multiple versions is only acceptable and okay if it's AFTER the first week and only if it's to get multiple weeks at #1? Got it. Glad to know we add these qualifiers after the fact when it benefits certain artists Because a remix and alternative version is not actually a remix and alternative version if it's after release week. And it doesn't count if it's only 6 instead of 9 or 10. Edited January 19 by dawnettakins 1

No they won't, they can't filter out sales without justifying it. I haven't seen any instance where they've done that. she has a healthy lead over Jack and will likely at this point have a 10% lead.
wildsidenormani Posted January 19 Posted January 19 the only people who care about the numerous different versions are the unemployed and chronically online; next week the only thing the average person will see is that ariana has the number 1 song in the country. 250 points or 500, 1 version or 10, she still won
Popular Post Monster Queen Posted January 19 Popular Post Posted January 19 #1 or not, this will be one of the most iconic release for any MPGs will be discussed in the future forver I mean, 12 versions (all discount) for a 265 points debut 17
