Ariana Grande’s “Side To Side (featuring Nicki Minaj)” makes a major upward move on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

Up seven places, the latest “Dangerous Woman” single earns #12 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

In doing so, it outpeaks previous single “Into You.” Issued as the second single from “Dangerous Woman,” the song peaked at #13.

The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streams, and radio airplay. Since effectively “launching” the night of the MTV Video Music Awards, “Side To Side” has been a strong performer in the former two categories. It is, meanwhile, quickly gaining steam at radio.
