Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” Debuts At #77 On Billboard Hot 100

“Look What You Made Me Do” makes an airplay-only debut on the Hot 100. It should hit #1 next week.

Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” debuted after the sales and streaming tracking weeks and on the fifth day of the radio tracking period.

It nonetheless generated enough initial activity to score a spot on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

“Look What You Made Me Do” takes #77 on this week’s edition of the chart.

The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streams and radio airplay. Sales and streaming data is based on a Friday-Thursday tracking week, while radio is measured from Monday-Sunday.

Since “Look What You Made Me Do” officially arrived at 12AM ET Friday, none of its sales and streams count for this week’s chart. Its Hot 100 position is entirely based on its first three days of radio play.

The song is a near-lock to rise to #1 on next week’s chart, which will account for its first full weeks of sales, streaming and radio activity.
