Sia & Kendrick Lamar’s “The Greatest” Blasts Into Top 25 On Hot 100

Despite not launching until the latter half of the sales and streaming tracking periods, Sia’s “The Greatest (featuring Kendrick Lamar)” generated enough activity to debut at #52 on last week’s Hot 100.

This week, it predictably moves higher.

“The Greatest,” which is the follow-up to Sia’s “Cheap Thrills,” soars to #24.

This week’s chart position reflects the song’s first complete week of availability. Sales and streams were solid during the official tracking week; “The Greatest” also posted a big gain in radio airplay.

The aforementioned “Cheap Thrills” is still prominently positioned at #4.
