Hot 100: Sia & Kendrick Lamar’s “The Greatest” Debuts At #52

Sia’s “Cheap Thrills (featuring Sean Paul),” which reached #1 this past summer, is still prominently positioned at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The hit is not, however, her only song on this week’s edition of the chart.

Sia is also represented by “The Greatest (featuring Kendrick Lamar),” which debuts at #52. It is the week’s highest ranking debut.

The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streaming and airplay. In debuting late Monday/early Tuesday, “The Greatest” premiered deep into the Friday-Thursday sales and streaming tracking week.

While it bowed in the early portion of the Monday-Sunday radio tracking week, it has yet to be formally promoted at radio.
