Hot 100: The Weeknd’s & Daft Punk’s “Starboy” Rockets To #3

Despite not launching until late in the tracking period, The Weeknd’s “Starboy (featuring Daft Punk)” debuted at #40 on last week’s Hot 100.

With a full week’s worth of activity now under its belt, it naturally rises much higher on this week’s chart.

The title track from The Weeknd’s new single takes #3 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streaming and radio airplay. “Starboy” posted strong weekly sales and streaming totals, it is also quickly gaining traction at radio.
