Post Malone's 'Rockstar' Leads Billboard Hot 100 for Eighth Week, G-Eazy's 'No Limit' Lifts to Top 10

 

Post Malone's "Rockstar," featuring 21 Savage, dominates the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Dec. 16) for an eighth week.

 

Plus, Ed Sheeran's "Perfect," up 5-3 on the Hot 100, is the week's top seller, aided by early sales of its new Beyonce duet version released just before the end of the sales tracking week (ending Nov. 30), while G-Eazy earns his second Hot 100 top 10 as "No Limit," featuring A$AP Rocky and Cardi B, bumps 11-8.

 

"Rockstar," released on Republic Records, tallies a 10th (nonconsecutive) week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 50.5 million U.S. streams (down 9 percent), in the week ending Nov. 30, according to Nielsen Music. The song is the 11th to tally double-digit weeks at No. 1, dating to the list's January 2013 launch; Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, spent a record 16 weeks atop Streaming Songs beginning May 27.

 

"Rockstar" rises 4-3 on Digital Song Sales, which it led for a week, although down 18 percent to with 47,000 downloads sold in the week ending Nov. 30. On Radio Songs, the song dips 4-5 but with a 5 percent gain to 91 million in all-format audience in the week ending Dec. 3.

 

"Rockstar" concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for an eighth week each.

 

Camila Cabello's "Havana," featuring Young Thug, spends a fifth week at its No. 2 high on the Hot 100. It rises 3-2 on Radio Songs (115 million, up 9 percent); retreats to No. 2 after two weeks atop Digital Song Sales (54,000, down 36 percent); and holds at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (34.4 million, down 14 percent).

 

"Rockstar" and "Havana" have now ranked at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on the Hot 100 for five weeks running, the longest combination since "Despacito" spent the last seven of its record-tying 16 weeks at No. 1 and DJ Khaled's "Wild Thoughts," featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, peaked at No. 2 for seven consecutive weeks on charts dated July 29 through Sept. 9. On the new Dec. 16-dated Hot 100, "Rockstar" decreases by 8 percent in overall activity and "Havana" declines by 14 percent.

 

Meanwhile, Post Malone is now "rock" solid with sole possession of a new record: With its eighth week atop the Hot 100, "Rockstar" passes Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock & Roll" (seven weeks, 1982) for the most time on top among No. 1s with "rock" in their titles.

 

Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" pushes to a new No. 3 Hot 100 high, from No. 5, and becomes his third No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (69,000, down 1 percent). He previously led for a week in 2015 with "Thinking Out Loud" and for 10 weeks earlier this year with "Shape of You."

 

"Perfect" hits No. 1 on Digital Song Sales with an assist from the first few hours of tracking for its new duet version with Beyonce, released before the end of the sales (and streaming) tracking week at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 30. For the full week, the Beyonce version accounts for 18 percent of the song's sales; the duet should likely account for a greatly higher percentage of the song's total weekly sales following its first full frame of tracking (ending Dec. 7) and gain on next week's charts (dated Dec. 23), when Beyonce will be added as a credited artist on it.

 

"Perfect" pushes 6-4 on Radio Songs (91 million, up 14 percent, good for the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award), where it becomes Sheeran's fifth top five hit, and 15-11 on Streaming Songs (18.6 million, down 1 percent).

 

Lil Pump's "Gucci Gang" dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 peak, again driven most heavily by its No. 2 rank on Streaming Songs (39.6 million, down 20 percent). It descends 19-22 on Digital Song Sales (15,000, down 26 percent) and nears Radio Songs (18 million, up 17 percent).

 

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Imagine Dragons' "Thunder" backtracks to No. 5 from its No. 4 Hot 100 peak and crowns Radio Songs for a third week (117 million, down 3 percent). On Hot Rock Songs, "Thunder" reigns for a fifth week.

 

Sam Smith's "Too Good at Goodbyes" rebounds 7-6 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 4, swapping spots with Cardi B's former three-week Hot 100 No. 1 "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" (6-7). Speaking of Cardi B …

 

G-Eazy earns his second Hot 100 top 10 as "No Limit," featuring A$AP Rocky and Cardi B, jumps 11-8. G-Eazy previously hit No. 7 with "Me, Myself & I," with Bebe Rexha," in March 2016. A$AP Rocky notches his third top 10, following "F**kin Problems," featuring Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar (No. 8, 2013), and Selena Gomez's "Good for You," on which he's featured (No. 5, 2015). Cardi B notches her second top 10, following "Bodak Yellow."

 

"No Limit" holds at its No. 6 high on Streaming Songs (22 million, down 11 percent) and hikes 21-13 on Radio Songs (54 million, up 9 percent) and 23-18 on Digital Song Sales (16,000, down 23 percent).

 

Closing out the Hot 100's top 10, Maroon 5's "What Lovers Do," featuring SZA, returns to its peak (10-9) and Portugal. The Man's "Feel It Still" dips 8-10, after hitting No. 4.

 

Just outside the Hot 100's top 10, Halsey ascends 14-11 with "Bad at Love," her highest-charting entry as a lead artist; she spent 12 weeks at No. 1 as featured on The Chainsmokers' "Closer" beginning in September 2016. "Bad" becomes her third top 10 on Radio Songs, rising 12-9 (71 million, up 11 percent), after "Closer" (11 weeks at No. 1) and her own "Now or Never" (No. 10 in July; it reached No. 17 on the Hot 100).

 

Also in the Hot 100's top 20, Dua Lipa's "New Rules" hits a new high (18-15) and Post Malone's "I Fall Apart" enters the region (21-19). Plus, at No. 21, Mariah Carey makes her annual return with her 1994 classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which hit a No. 11 peak two holiday seasons ago. (Older songs are eligible to return to the Hot 100 if ranking in the top 50 and are gaining in multiple metrics with a significant reason for their resurgences; a few holiday chestnuts re-enter each year.)

 

BTS Earns Highest-Charting & First Top 40 Hot 100 Hit for a K-Pop Group With 'MIC Drop'

 

The song, featuring Desiigner, debuts at No. 28, besting BTS' first Hot 100 entry, the No. 67-peaking "DNA."

 

BTS breaks its own record for the highest-charting entry on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a K-pop group, as "MIC Drop," featuring Desiigner (and remixed by Steve Aoki), debuts at No. 28 (on the chart dated Dec. 16). It marks the K-pop kings' first top 40 Hot 100 entry and the first for any K-pop group.

 

The track claims the honor of highest-charting Hot 100 hit by a K-pop group from BTS' first (and only other) Hot 100 entry, "DNA," which reached No. 67 on the chart dated Oct. 14.

 

The seven-member South Korean boy band's new mostly Korean language single launches with 9.8 million first-week U.S. streams and 45,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music. (The Hot 100 blends streaming, sales and radio airplay data.)

 

On the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart, "MIC Drop" enters at No. 4, besting the No. 37 peak of "DNA" for BTS' best rank on the survey. On Streaming Songs, "MIC Drop" debuts at No. 47. ("DNA" reached No. 38 on the streaming survey.)

 

Much more so than with "DNA," "MIC Drop" is receiving notable early play at pop radio, led by 53 plays in the week ending Dec. 3 on KJYO Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which led the way in inroad-building U.S. play for "DNA" (as program director JJ Ryan discussed on the Billboard Chart Beat Podcast). "MIC Drop" was KJYO's 11th-most-played song in the week ending Dec. 3. XHTZ and KHTS, both in San Diego, follow with 31 and 24 plays for the song, respectively, in the tracking week.

 

Only one other K-pop act has charted higher than BTS on the Hot 100: South Korean rapper/singer PSY, led by his smash "Gangnam Style," which peaked at No. 2 for seven weeks in 2012. He added the No. 5 hit "Gentleman" in 2013 and the No. 26-peaking "Hangover" in 2014.

 

Helping spark first-week chart action for "MIC Drop," BTS performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Nov. 27. The act made its U.S. live-performance debut (with "DNA") on the American Music Awards Nov. 19.

 

K-pop fun fact: BTS now ties CL as the K-pop act with the second-most Hot 100 entries on the Hot 100, after PSY, the leader with four. CL charted as featured on PSY's "Daddy" (No. 97, 2015) and with her own "Lifted" (No. 94, 2016). Additionally, Wonder Girls have charted one song ("Nobody"; No. 76, 2009).

 

BTS' new Hot 100 achievement follows prior chart firsts for the group. On the Billboard 200 dated Oct. 7, BTS earned the first-ever top 10 for a K-pop act, when its Love Yourself: Her debuted at No. 7 (its peak to date).

Huh, this G-Eazy song blowing up totally passed me by - just having a listen to it now and it's actually really good, I didn't expect to like a G-Eazy song much as I thought he was basically just another Machine Gun Kelly! (He's still the least interesting person on his own song but the production / A$AP Rocky's hook carries it). Seems to have the same sample in it as 'Plain Jane' though :thinking:

 

Great to see 'Ric Flair Drip' having the most legs of the songs off the 21 Savage/Offset/Metro Boomin album, anyone know if that has been pushed to radio or if it's just growing over time of its own accord?

I fear that this will be Duas peak :(

 

I mean it’s still amazing what she achieved but was hoping for that first top 10.

 

She is gaining on radio but she is losing streams and downloads at the same time.

Hopefully Mariah's All I Want For Christmas... goes top 10 officially for the first time this year.
