Hot 100: Descendants’ “Rotten to the Core” Stays in Top 50; “If Only” Rises

Powered by another strong week of streaming, “Descendants” soundtrack standout “Rotten to the Core” remains positioned within the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song, which bowed at #38 on last week’s chart, claims the #48 position on this week’s listing.

“Rotten” falls off the 50-track Digital Songs (sales) subchart but actually rises two places to #18 on Streaming Songs.

“Rotten to the Core” is credited to cast members Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson.

Dove Cameron is the solely credited vocalist on “If Only,” which improves to #94 on this week’s Hot 100. It was #99 on last week’s chart.

– Several “Descendants” tracks again appear on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, which ranks the top songs that have yet to appear on the actual Billboard Hot 100:

— “Did I Mention” (Jeff Lewis and Mitchell Hope) claims #2 (+9).

— “Set It Off” (Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart, Michell Hope, Sarah Jeffrey, Jeff Lewis) grabs #6 (+11)

— “Evil Like Me” (Kristin Chenoweth and Dove Cameron) improves to #12 (+2).
