Update:<\/b> Billboard confirms the report of Ariana Grandes’ “7 rings” retaining its #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
The song is spending a fourth week atop the chart, which ranks songs from all genres based on sales, streams and radio airplay.<\/p>\n
A strong performer in all three categories, “7 rings” actually spends a fourth week atop the Streaming Songs chart.<\/p>\n
Grande’s single “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” debuts at #2 on the Hot 100, while former #1 “thank u, next” jumps up to #3. Grande becomes the first artist to simultaneously hold the Top 3 spots since The Beatles in 1964.
\n====<\/p>\n
Due to the Presidents’ Day holiday, Billboard will not be formally announcing the Top 10 of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 until Tuesday.<\/p>\n
We nonetheless already have indication on which song will claim #1.<\/p>\n
In a press release about Ariana Grande’s new album, Republic Records notes that her single “‘7 rings’ enjoys its fourth consecutive week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.”<\/p>\n
As this will only be the song’s fourth week on the chart, the statement essentially confirms “7 rings” will retain the throne it has held since its debut.<\/p>\n
The news is not surprising. While preliminary data suggests that Grande’s new “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” had a streaming edge during the February 8-14 tracking period, “7 rings” looks to have sold more copies. It definitely possessed a huge advantage on the radio front.<\/p>\n
Collectively, those factors should provide “7 rings” with a comfortable overall lead.<\/p>\n
Still, the news should be treated as tentative until formally confirmed by Billboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Republic Records, “7 rings” continues its reign atop the Billboard Hot 100.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[12006,692],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
