Ariana’s latest lead single ‘positions’ has just been certified silver and spent a 4th week at #1 in the U.K. chart! A 5th week also seems doable, which poses the question... how long can she stay at the top for? Please speculate away! She’s already achieved the most weeks at #1 this year for a female artist, here are some other stats for her to compete with... Longest time spent at #1 in 2020 (non-consecutively): The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (8 weeks) Longest time spent at #1 in 2020 (consecutively): Joel Corry feat. MNEK - Head & Heart (6 weeks) Ariana’s longest time spent at #1: thank, u next [2018] (6 weeks) |

This is all so crazy to me! I’m so pleased for her that this has become such a hit. Its longevity has certainly outdone my expectations. Ariana is still holding up really well on Spotify and continues to beat all competition, with not much of note coming out for a while as far as I’m aware. So I’ve voted 8 weeks, with either LadBaby or Mariah knocking her off. Perhaps wishful thinking as Christmas songs are doing so well already... but they do have a mountain to climb with ACR.
I’m already so happy with 4 weeks and really look forward to tracking its progress further! |

been very impressed with how she has held up! She is high on playlists but equally as high as her competition so not really a factor
very deserved though she would be number 1 in the US if it wasn't for radio being factored in I voted for 7 weeks as I don't see anything overtaking her till the end of the year |

6 or 7, but it shouldn't have even got one.

I can see Mariah knocking her off in a couple of weeks - her streaming numbers this year are crazy already.

Wondering how much of a threat Nathan Dawe/Little Mix will be. The latter are obviously the selling point here, as Nathan's previous hits have had the help of a re-invented classic and KSI so far. Will have to wait and see how the full thing sounds - sometimes a song can eclipse the popularity of both artists like 'Head & Heart'. Ariana's power at the top is still really strong - holding off a new Billie Eilish song in its 4th week and two big name collabs in its 5th week.
I agree that Mariah seems like her biggest competition right now. Plus LadBaby in Christmas week if that does materialise. |

I think Nathan Dawe/Little Mix could surprise if the song is really solid. I think Miley/Dua and Shawn/Justin (imo) quality just wasn't up to their usual standard so that's why they haven't fared as well. Billie's reception even seems muted, I do think she's got lucky in a sense but also it really is a case of connecting with the public and being a hit!
I was certain it would have a similar trajectory to Taylor's LWYMMD initially. |

if Nathan/LM doesn't smash big I think Mariah could potentially get a huge December effect and make #1.
so I'll predict 6 weeks. |

I reckon 2 (possibly 3) more weeks until Mariah finally comes through - Just before or on the same week that she should have gone #1 back in 2018 but Thank U, Next blocked coincidentally. (albeit with much higher sales)

Probably 6 weeks I would think. Although could she have a small chance of the Xmas #1?

5th week now achieved!
Mariah now ahead of her on Spotify but only by 15k at the moment which will mean nothing with ACR - shall see what growth is like for that in December. Nathan/Little Mix has not debuted in the top 50 on Spotify despite strong support so I don't think that's going to be a threat. |

I'll say 6! I think she might be able to withstand the competition from Christmas songs this week, but not in the 11th December chart.

I voted for 5 but a 6th is looking very likely!

So the two people who said 5 weeks are now incorrect as she achieved a 6th week today!
6 weeks is the most popular option so she'll have outdone expectations even more if she keeps going

A belated well done to everyone who voted for 6 weeks (providing it doesn't return there at any point
 ) - a smash!
