1 (+5). Say So, @DojaCat feat. @NICKIMINAJ
Prior official projections overestimated the margins (possible due to more aggressive vetting), but the song rises a lead on sales and radio to victory!
66,000 sales (+966%)
96.2m radio (+6%)
30.3m streams (+87%)

2 (+2). Savage, @theestallion feat. @Beyonce
Taking a handy victory on streaming (including the valuable on-demand audio tier), the gulf on radio was its biggest point dearth to overcome, with sales sealing the deal.
50,000 sales (+90%)
51.3m radio (+27%)
42.1m streams (+53%)

3 (-1). Blinding Lights, @theweeknd
With decent numbers across the board (with radio as a strong suit, up 4% to 114.5m), it’s still surprising to realize that, had the 2 remix campaigns not been deployed, it would’ve been the number one blocking the big album’s single...

4 (-1). Toosie Slide, @Drake
Streaming numbers shored up as expected, but sales have remained weak for the track such that it lacks the balance to overcome Blinding Lights. It’s not all bad news for the album in the top 10 though...

5 (=). The Box, @RoddyRicch
The former chart topper, while not in serious contention to return atop, remains stable with strong radio and streams. It may also have a proxy bump from other things the rapper’s up to that have re-entered the zone...

6 (+1). Don’t Start Now, @DUALIPA
Up mainly on having one less competitor than last week (more on that later), this song has firmly reached coast mode, tapering off strong radio and decent sales.

7 (NE). Pain 1993, @Drake feat. @playboicarti
The Dark Lane Demo Tapes project does nab a new top 10 hit upon its debut, owed mainly to streaming as expected.
3,000 sales
Negligible radio
31m streams

8 (=). Circles, @PostMalone
This song actually stabilized on radio this week, still in what is referred to as “power rotation”.

9 (+5). Rockstar, @DaBabyDaBaby feat. @RoddyRicch
With marked gains across the board, the song returns right back to its peak a mere week after leaving the zone.
9,000 sales (+36%)
5.7m radio (+136%)
28.3m streams (+17%)

The song took a hit on on-demand, though its radio prevents it from taking a nasty fall just yet.

12 (-11). The Scotts, @trvisXX & @KidCudi
Joining the rare club of songs that depart the top 10 immediately after coronation, the combination of no more bundles, lack of radio traction, and a debut hyped by a current event made this somewhat predictable.

20 (+3). Roses, @SAINtJHN & Imanbek
With this ascent, Roses is the first song classed by Billboard as Dance/Electronic in the top 20 since @ladygaga’s Stupid Love’s debut and the first to *climb* into the top 20 since @marshmellomusic & @bastilledan’s Happier!

29 (NE). Be Kind, @marshmellomusic & @halsey
The top debut not from an album/project-bomb this week, this track starts swinging on radio, with strong sales and a solid streaming start pointing to growth potential once the bombs subside.

The swath of debuts took several songs off the list permanently, though they’re all slated to make the year-end rank:
Roxanne, @ArizonaZervas (LW: 33, WO: 26)
Heartless, @theweeknd (LW: 37, WO: 23)
10,000 Hours, @DanAndShay & @justinbieber (LW: 46, WO: 30)

In addition, the returning entries from @trvisXX’s FortNite concert, Highest in the Room (LW: 38, WO: 22) and Goosebumps (LW: 49, WO: 35) slip back into recurrency as expected. The former further secured its spot on the year-end.
The deluxe release of @lilbaby4PF’s My Turn prompted a mini-bomb on the chart:
56 (+15). Emotionally Scarred
57 (-4). Sum 2 Prove
61. We Paid with 42 Dugg
65. Social Distancing
81. Low Down
86. Humble
88 (RE). Grace with 42 Dugg
96 (RE). Heatin’ Up with @1GunnaGunna

68 (+5). Here and Now, @kennychesney
Hailing from the top album this week, that push was focused on raw sales and not streaming, so this is the only representative on the Hot 100, though it’s one of the few risers this week amidst the giant bombs!

69 (-26). More Hearts Than Mine, @IngridAndress
70 (-28). I Love Me, Demi Lovato
93 (-21). You Should Be Sad, @halsey
XX. Stupid Love, @ladygaga (LW: 61, WO: 9)
