Normani and Sam Smith have done it.
Proving that slow and steady can indeed win the race, the pair’s single ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ (which was unleashed in January) has grinded its way into the coveted top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Dive below for details…
On this week’s tally, the hypnotic hit officially became a top ten hit after jumping from #12-#7.
So what powered the surge during this tracking week?
A consistent radio slayer, ‘Dancing’ enjoyed a 15% increase in spins, bringing its multi-format audience to a whopping 84.1 million.
It also racked up 12,000 digital downloads in the US and was streamed 16.1 million Stateside too.
The feat sees the song become Normani’s highest charting solo effort to date; it’s also notably her second overall stay within the top ten as a solo act, with last year’s Khalid collab ‘Love Lies’ preceding. That song, which was also a steady burner, peaked at #9.
Overall, it’s the starlet’s third appearance in the top 10 when factoring in Fifth Harmony’s 2016 smash ‘Work From Home’ (#4).
For Smith, it’s his sixth Hot 100 top 10.
*********
With an eagerly anticipated performance at the Billboard Music Awards on May 1st incoming, higher heights may be in the song’s immediate future.
In any case, regardless of what does or doesn’t happen, the track’s success puts both in amazing positions for their next move.
Normani, who is touring with Ariana Grande, sees her solo launch benefit in earnest, while a bonafide hit no doubt re-cements Smith as a force heading into his third album campaign.
Congrats all round!

Well deserved Normani!
Well deserved Sam Smith
The bill says Sam Smith AND Normani. It ain’t just Sam’s hit
We all know it’s Sam’s song too BUT he’s already big. It’s nice for Normani to get this exposure too.

Queen of Sleeper Hits
ironic, but whites will make her a star and blacks will catch up later…kinda like they did with rih
True
I can’t wait for this performance‼️
Congrats Sam smith, u did it yourself!!!
No need features
Says a Nicholas Stan. And after a million features, the clown ? still doesn’t have a #1 on the Hot 100. The jokes writes itself! ?????
U never compare Queen Nicki to Jovanni
Her non number one hits made history and bigger than Jovannis top 10
Evidently, he didn’t do it himself if he has a feature on the song. I can’t fathom how some of you go through life being this stupid? Your fav is the queen of million features yet none have gone to number 1. Delusional much?
You’re a Nicki fan, why you hating on Normani!?
congrats
Her second top ten in less than a year. You go Normnani!
Go Normani!
ok miss normani! can’t wait for her to storm through with an album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_RG1O5BhBU
Happy to see another beautiful, black TALENTED woman arrive on the pop scene with celebrated artistry. She is carving a new lane for modern day starlets & I am down for the cause. CONGRATS NORMANI!!
Whatever. ?
