Last week, Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” fell to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This week, the song recaptures its throne.

Headline Planet can confirm that “thank u, next” will be named the #1 song on this week’s edition of the chart. Billboard may announce the news as soon as Monday afternoon.

The smash hit is celebrating a fourth non-consecutive week in the pinnacle position.
