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.
