After a temporary dethronement by rap group Migos‘ viral hit ‘Bad & Boujee’ (read more about that by clicking here), Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Shape Of You’ has returned to the top of the Hot 100 this week.
Reigning atop the tally for the second non-consecutive week since its debut four weeks ago, the tune’s resurgence is certainly thanks to some handsome streaming radio airplay. Billboard reports:
“With its official video having premiered Jan. 30, the song gains by 19 percent to 31.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It increases by 11 percent to 115,000 downloads sold…”
Alongside ‘Castle on the Hill,’ ‘Shape’ serves as the leading single from Sheeran’s highly anticipated new album ‘÷’ (pronounced ‘Divide’) due in stores March 3rd. But, before you rush to preorder the set, tuck in below to see who joined Sheeran on this week’s updated Hot 100 Chart Check:
How long does it take for a song to chart? This is no shade at all, but I’ve been looking at the Hot 100 daily to check if Mariah’s ‘I Don’t’ is on it. How long would it take to chart?
It’s not gonna chart because it’s a flop
In terms of promotion, yeah. I like the song itself though. Maybe it’s the kind of song that wouldn’t do well in the charts now. Sounds like a late naughties R&B track
The queen needs to get off her throne and promote. Call radio stations, visit. Sing it on a few tv shows (ellen), The song I Don’t is radio friendly and is a Hot vocal. Lets see where it goes
TRUE!
White people couldn’t wait to knock B&B off the top spot.
??? WHAT?
Million Reasons is coming to the Top 10 of the Hot 100 next week. The jokes about Joanne not having a hit this era are DONE. Even ARTPOP had a top 10. She’s managed to have a hit from all her albums
Without Super Bowl exposure she would not be getting that top 10 lol
LOL And without the generic formula Rihanna´s team have been pushing down people´s throats for 10 entire years non stop at a pace of 7 singles per year nothing about Rihanna would have happened. Your point is? So now doing a big show and KILLING it in a way certain artist would never be able to is doing something wrong? LOL It´s called doing your job: having talent and showing it.
To bad she can’t get a number one from 7 consecutive albums like my fave has done
The only song I like on that whole list is “Love On The Brain”.
Justice for Love on the Brain
So Rihanna still has an album and song in the top 20 of both charts a year later. I thought Formatting and Minutemaid ended Anti? Where is not even a year old Lemonade or it singles at on the charts? Ha!
Bye Mateo!
And Anti still keeps selling less than Beyonce´s album every single week since their respective releases. So your point is? That Rihanna is a streaming force? lol Ok.
Nice
