I can't see it spending that long there. Obviously first week streams will be huge but something else will eventually overtake in a month.

This reminds me of Gods Plan this time last year!

I can't see it lasting 10 weeks, yes it will sell in its first week, the week after probably will lose half of its sales. I'm just worried if Ariana releases more music the public might start losing interest (like churning a new track every couple of weeks), not that they will. - No need to bite my head off :P

 

And if Drake dropped a single now or in a fortnight's time, that could scuffle Ariana's run at the top, if the track is actually quite good. You really can't tell what could crawl out of the woodwork

I'm pretty sure people said 'Thank U, Next' would decline quickly after its initial big numbers and it didn't.

But it didn't last 9-10 weeks at #1 either.

 

Plus with the video being released already the song will be more front loaded as there won't be one week in the future where it gets a big boost from the video like 'thank u, next' did (edit: other than the album release week).

 

As for Martin's point, I think the album will come shortly and after one or two more singles she'll take a proper break.

Good to see Mabel get a top 50 debut... especially given One Shot didn't really live up to expectations

Spotify Daily Chart Update (18/01)

01 [NE] Ariana Grande – 7 rings [*NEW PEAK*] 809,992

02 [01] Ava Max – Sweet but Psycho 446,060

Ava at #2... I hope she rises again!

Ava is doing just fine, she increased in streams yesterday, no doubt thanks to it being a Friday, but she's still close to her peak numbers wise (excluding her anomalously big NYE streams)

 

She also avoided ACR for the next 3 weeks if you're wondering.

Is thank you next on arc and Freya ridings lost without you

Decent start for Mabel, hopefully a Top 40 debut is possible!

Neither are on ACR yet. Freya has another 3 weeks and Ari has at least this week though she could easily increase streams and avoid it.

Who gone to arc this week out top 40 songs

I think Thank U, Next will avoid ACR thanks to 7 Rings.

Also massive climb for CamelPhat & Cristoph... hopefully this can at least spend a week top 40. Absolute tune

I'll be extremely dismayed if it doesn't.
