Rita Ora’s “Body On Me (featuring Chris Brown)” is the highest-charting debut on this week’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100” chart.
The song, which is the new iHeartRadio “On the Verge” song at rhythmic radio, grabs the #8 spot on this week’s listing. The position is based on streams and sales from August 7-13 and airplay from August 10-16.
The Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart ranks the Top 25 songs that have yet to appear on the actual Billboard Hot 100.
If successful in reaching the actual Hot 100 (which seems like a certainty given its buzzworthy video and “On the Verge” support), it would become Ora’s third lead entry on the chart. The artist also previously reached the Hot 100 with “How We Do (Party)” and “I Will Never Let You Down.”
She also appeared as a featured artist on Iggy Azalea’s #3-peaking “Black Widow” and was part of Band-Aid 30’s #63-peaking “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”
