An Oscars boost that powers Common and John Legend’s “Glory” to #12 on the Digital Songs subchart also facilitates a massive rise on the all-encompassing Hot 100.
The year’s Academy Award winner for Best Original Song climbs a whopping fifty places to a new chart peak of #49.
“Glory” becomes Common’s first Top 50 hit since his Grammy-nominated 2000 single “The Light.” That song peaked at #44.
Legend last reached the Top 50 with his #1-peaking “All of Me.”
The Hot 100’s Top 60 also welcomed some new additions this week:
— Tove Lo’s “Talking Body” rises nine places to #56.
— Lee Brice’s “Drinking Class” jumps seven places to #60.
