Billboard Hot 100: #13 (+1) Love On The Brain, @rihanna *new peak* [17 weeks] Love On The Brain is rising on Billboard, that's good. Hope a top 10 Go riri go!!

She #4 http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7686444/hot-100-ed-sheeran-shape-of-you-lady-gaga-million-reasons "Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons" vaults back onto the Hot 100 at No. 4 after she performed the Joanne track as part of her Super Bowl halftime show. The ballad makes a revival similar to that of the New England Patriots, who erased a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in the game. In fact, just as the Patriots staged the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history (covering 51 games), Gaga makes a record return on the Hot 100, tying two other songs for the highest re-entry in the chart's 58-year archives."

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga blasts back onto the chart with a record-tying No. 4 re-entry for "Million Reasons" (which had previously peaked at No. 52) after she performed the song during her Super Bowl LI halftime show (Feb. 5). Billboard Hot 100: #4(re) Million Reasons, @ladygaga [12 weeks]. *new peak*

"Shape of You" rebounds for a second week at No. 1, while "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" jumps 5-3. Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 for a second total week atop the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 18). Meanwhile, Zayn and Taylor Swift rise 5-3 with "I Don't Wanna Love Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)," with both songs benefiting from newly released official videos. https://youtu.be/6OtWduD_hyA Hip-hop trio Migos scores its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the arrival of Culture. The set — which was led by the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert — launches atop the list with 131,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music. Culture, Migos’ second album, was released on Jan. 27 through Quality Control/300 Entertainment. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7678046/migos-no-1-album-culture-billboard-200 Migos - 131k (44k pure) Brantley Gilbert - 77k (66k pure) Kehlani 58k (32k pure) The Weeknd 51k Now 61 - 37k (all pure) La La Land - 36k (25k pure) Bruno Mars - 31k Train - 30k (23k pure) Post Malone - 27k Moana - 27k

"Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons" is aiming to vault into the top 10 on next week's Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Feb. 25), following her performance of the ballad during her Super Bowl LI halftime show Sunday (Feb. 5). The song is set to make a comeback similar to that of the New England Patriots, who overcame a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in the game. "Reasons" originally peaked at No. 52 on the Hot 100 dated Dec. 24, 2016, and last appeared on the chart dated Feb. 11, after 11 weeks on the survey." "Industry forecasters suggest that "Reasons" could sell more than 125,000 downloads in the week ending Feb. 9, easily making it the week's best-selling song. (Gaga's halftime set reportedly drew an audience of 117.5 million on Fox, the second-greatest in Super Bowl history, trailing only Katy Perry's, which garnered 120.7 million, two years ago.) When finalized streaming (likely more than 6 million U.S. streams in the tracking week) and radio airplay (more than 12 million in all-format audience) are added to the mix, as the Hot 100 blends streaming, airplay and sales data, "Reasons" could become Gaga's 14th top 10 Hot 100 hit, and first in more than three years. She last appeared in the region with the No. 4-peaking "Applause," on the chart dated Nov. 30, 2013." Top 10 predicted by Billboard Also TWO albums Top 10 on Billboard 200 "Meanwhile, as previously reported, Gaga could place two albums in the top 10 of next week's Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 25). Industry forecasters suggest that Joannecould soar from No. 66 to No. 2 with around 70,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 9, while her debut LP The Fame could re-enter in the top 10 with around 40,000 units."

NEW RELEASES: DAWN OF THE SEAN Streams will once again be the big driver on our SPS chart, as G.O.O.D./Def Jam's Big Sean looks like a lock for #1 there next Friday with his set I Decided. In fact, 50% of his final chart number may come from streaming services. This follows yesterday’s chart bow by Migos, for which streaming deserves 60% of the credit. Big Sean (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) 105-115k SPS, 50-60k album Reba McEntire (Rockin’ R/BMLG) 40-45k, 35-40k In political news, the President is hoping for a photo op with Frederick Douglass at the Super Bowl. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=304800
