568k for Ariana on Spotify

Ari is #1 in the U.K. with 568,941 streams

so higher first day numbers than 'positions' here but a drop from 'yes, and?'

Icl I was expecting bigger… I thought she’d pull over 700k, hopefully she can debut at no1 anyway

So her #1 spot will be decided by physical sales.

The physicals might be the deciding factor but I’d say it could be close? I’d expect her second day drop to drop her well below Rein me in, it just depends how she stabilizes after that

Three other new entries:

#92 Silva Bumpa - On 2nite 🧐

#196 Skye Newman - Man of the House

#197 Kingfishr - The Sun Will Never Settle

The Silva Bumpa track is a new release from yesterday, it's a dance track that has been teased online for a while, nothing suspicious

Less than 600k on day 1 plus poor reactions so far cmon RMI you can do it 🤞

Its nice enough. I'd prefer The Cure by Olivia R to get to Number 1. Its a far superior song. But I do wonder if it will be negatively impacted by this Ariana track as they are both kind of tonally similar and Olivia R has a much more distinctive alternative for radio to play

The cure is a million times better tbf 😅

Its not as good as Omar+'s sound he uses more techno synths.

CRAZYYYY that there were SO many new releases this week and none bar Ariana debuted top 50! It's really sad that newer songs really do struggle unless you're a huge name.

I must admit I thought Ariana would have easily done 650/700k especially after Wicked.

Underwhelming start for Ariana. Maybe she'll hold on well and the physicals will sell a lot?

Nice to see Kingfishr getting big enough to just about debut a new song in the UK top 200! I imagine their next album will do pretty well here.

There were predictions of 900k - 1.3M for Ari

I think physical sales will be huge, there are 6 variants and most have sold out (are the OCC really strict on the 3 physical rule for singles?).

I’d love Ariana to do it but I don’t know if I’m convinced?! Did yes, and? For example do big physical numbers. I actually think the track itself is great and the video dropping midweek might be a good tactic.

I think it debunked the theory of the person that said she is more POPULAR

She probably still has a decent sized fanbase that will purchase the multiple variants though , and unless Alex really did poorly with his fever dream physicals they were strict with his variants

Any predictions of 900k+ were laughable given the context of Ariana's previous debuts!

While we wait, here are Ariana's Day 1 Spotify numbers for her leads since the sweetener era:

• no tears left to cry - 543,814

• thank u, next - 590,304

• positions - 541,170

• yes, and? - 791,733

568,941 fits quite nicely into this list, with yes, and? being a notable outlier given it was her first proper new release in over three years.

Yes And did 8k physicals in week 1 and almost 6k downloads, it barely missed number one.

Mr.brightside to get such a boost it hits the top and gets reset and goes number 1 🤞

A Mr Brightside reset will only be tolerated if it goes higher than number 10!
