Megan Thee Stallion fans rejoiced when the femcee tapped fellow Houston hitmaker Beyoncé to feature on her megahit, ‘Savage.’
Despite blasting to the top of iTunes and Apple Music tallies mere hours after its release, however, the J. White Did It-produced cut wasn’t exactly a shoo-in for #1 on next week’s Billboard Hot 100 as stiff competition came in the form of another diva duet – Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Say So.’
Mid-week predictions may have suggested Stallion and Queen Bey had the win in the bag given their domination of streaming outlets (as we reported here), but updated figures suggest ‘Say’ still has a chance to top the Hot 100 due to an oft-overlooked component of data calculated to determine chart placements: radio.
More inside:
“The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data.
Per preliminary data, “Savage” and “Say So” appear set for a tight battle for No. 1. “Savage” (released on 1501 Certified/300) could draw over 40 million U.S. streams and 40 million in radio airplay audience and sell over 50,000 downloads in the tracking week. “Say So” (on Kemosabe/RCA) could sport over 90 million in radio reach, 25 million streams and 80,000 sold in the same span.
Both tracks have benefited from high-profile remixes. A version of “Savage” adding Beyoncé arrived April 29, in time for its first two days of activity to meet the April 30 streaming and sales cutoff for the May 9-dated Hot 100, and to fuel its jump from No. 14 to No. 4. Thus, the May 16-dated Hot 100 will encompass the first full tracking frame for the Beyoncé remix.
Similarly, Nicki Minaj joined on a remix of “Say So,” released at midnight ET May 1, and its first full week of availability will be tracked on the May 16-dated Hot 100.”
*****
To pad their streaming figures, both Cat and Stallion released multiple versions of their tunes over the past tracking week. While Meg stunned with a Major Lazer-led remix of ‘Savage’ (click here to listen), Doja released a dance video, live clip, and the original Nicki remix for ‘Say So’ (click here to watch).
As the chart-topping would come as a first for every player involved (sans Beyoncé), it’s clear the ladies are respectively pulling all the stops.
Keep it locked to That Grape Juice for the final word on this story when it’s revealed Monday, May 11.
![Chance the Rapper's Wife Officially Files for Divorce After Months of Separation [#ICYMI]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/chance-rapper-divorce-kirsten-conley-bennett-2024-thatgrapejuice-464x260.png "Chance the Rapper's Wife Officially Files for Divorce After Months of Separation [#ICYMI].")
I’m glad that the ladies are really bringing it, it did suck that Say So has Nicki and Doja prompting and Savage didn’t get anything from Beyoncé but a playlist.
I got my popcorn ready for Monday lol 🍿🥤 👀
based on this data from billboard it’s not too close to call at all
nicki/doja are leaving bey/meg in the dust!
finally nick has her first #1!!!!!
Nicki finally get her #1 even it was just a feature, so she can die happy. Meanwhile cardi grabbed her solo #1 When she first breakout
the song will be #1 BECAUSE of nicki. so it dont matter if it was her song or not, the song may have already been popular before nicki but it was on the decline
nick’s version boosted interest so it is her #1 just like it’s doja’s
don’t bring cardi into this. it has nothing to do with her
Honey say so was destined to hit number one.
With or without nicki
Dont u dare try to give all the credit to nicki
Say so was about to hit number one on pop radio before the remix with nicki was released.
Yeah don’t bring Cardi in this. Cardi song was written by a high profile music industry writer and the lyrics were inspired by Kodak Blak so he is really featured and he gets coin off that song.
LET ME TELL YOI YOU KLOWN AZ VULTURE. JUST THIS SIMPLE. FUC FARDI B KLOWN A**..PAYOLA MUT .QUEENS NICKI, BEY,PRINCESS RIRI, BLUE IVY…🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Nicki is very much alive fool…and fraudi b is not in nickis lane ok…nicki is still breaking records as a female artist not as a female rapper alone…talent never dies…more is yet to come fool.
Oh shut up
Damn! Lol! What a time for both ladies! NEW artist at that! And such great exposure. I wonder will this solidify their careers as super stars selling millions on their albums to come in the future?
No.
I know some people are big mad!!!!! Nicki’s going to have her first number one. You can’t say that it isn’t her song because the Say So remix Is as much as hers as the Savage remix is Queen Bey’s.
Meg should really do something on Instagram with Beyoncé if she wants to secure that number 1 I’d be so disappointed in Nicki got the top spot 🥴🗣
It’s too late
Sales tracking ended 11:59 on thurs may 7
Nicki and doja won
Why do u hate nicki do much..are u an adult? As much as cardi b is a race baiting clown who hates blk women who lies as she breathes wouldnt get that much hate from me..what she does doesn’t make me win or loose..you people are trolls to the highest order..
Sales tracking is done and ended thurs nite
With that wide of a margin, it’s pretty safe to call it for Nicki and doja
Congrats ladies
Yes but radio play ends Sunday night that’s why it’s technically not over cuz u can still Shazam and request
Wow this is very close but we will see. Billboard tracks 7days for sales and streaming, May 1 through May 7th and radio would be May 4th through May 10th per Billboard for the new chart Monday. Love both women and the remixes!!!
Queen Nicki and Princess Doja!!! Yeah baby!
If Nicki gets the Number 1 with Doja I think it’ll be a Doja Cat fan forever
Why wait to find out if she is number 1. Stream Doja’s album Hot Pink it’s good and has better songs than Say So
10 years from now neither doja or megan would have a career.
Camicky The Clown = Canceled Tour, Flop Album , Flop Solo Singles
Done. Awww. So sad for her fans.
Gurl be quiet
Camila has 2 number 1’s
She was the lead on both her number 1’s
Normani can never relate.
Damn say so.is leading in sales
Megan underestimated doja
Megan thought since beyonce was on her song it was enough to carry it to number one,
She didnt bother to make a dance video, lyric video , cartoon video with beyonce.
She should have begged beyonce to post about the savage on Instagram and Twitter.
Doja came out swinging
From releasing 5 different versions of say so
To merchandise , to dance videos.
She motivated her fans on twitter also
But it’s actually fair
All very talented women but If say so was top 5 it makes sense that it goes number one before savage
Savage was promoted as hard as it was because people don’t like Nicki. This remix been supposed to drop. Beyonce was a surprise. They got too excited and released it Thursday instead of waiting until Friday.
They sabotaged themselves.
Hopefully savage can go number one after the justin / ari song falls next week
Beyonce is not on tiktok
Megan should have begged beyonce to do the savage dance challenge on her Instagram update with blue ivy
She should have made a lyric video using footage of herself and beyonce. Etc
She should have prepared vinyl, cassette, etc of savage. Signed copies over 5000 to 10,000.
She underestimated doja bug time.
Well let’s wait and see.
Savage doesnt have a music video yet. So there’s still hope for megan.
The question she would have asked her self is when last did Beyoncé had a hit song ?
This is old news
The surge happened yesterday afternoon. Say so is now in the lead with over 50k sales
any sales that occurred on Friday don’t matter
the sales tracking ended thurs night at 11:59pm.
If u want to drag nicki for not having a number one song, girl now its ur time cause in the next 2 days nicki is gonna have a number one song under her belt.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A number one song is a number one song
Features, no features, remix etc
A number 1 is a number 1
DESPERATE TO MAKE CAMILAS COLLAB NUMBER ONES VALID CUZ SHE CANT DO IT ALONE. LOL REPLY BUT IM RITE SO ITS DONE. JUST NEEDED TO DRAG U BY UR LACK OF EDGES ONCE MESSY BOTTOM. U GET NO REPLY IF U BARK BACK 😂😂😂

Seniorita

Havana

Camila had huge competition from post malone (rockstar) and ed Sheeran (perfect)
And she still hit number one with Havana.
Lezbhonest, Camila was a feat. on Senorita. Don’t be so naive and foolish. 😂

She hasn’t seen the inside of the billboard hot 100 since November 2019.
That’s 6 whole months of being absent from the billboard hot 100
💀💀💀
Megan was on the rolling stone magazine cover with normani but look at megan today, she’s about to get a number one, while normani is nowhere on the charts.
💀💀💀💀
Clarkcoon your mama stinks. GET OVER HERE B CUT MY GRASS, LICK MY TOILET CLEAN,WASH MY PAPER PLATES. NAOMI THE BEST. CAMILLIE EATS B**.😂😂😂😂😂😂SO DO YOU YOU BIG ROACH.
“Can’t wait for Camickys opening night for her future sold out tour “
B**** where? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Clown bites back hard . Karma is just getting started for Camicky
The question is why didnt Beyonce collaborate with normani “the new beyonce ”
🤣🤣🤣
She paid the bìtch dust.
Beyonce doesnt collaborate with flops.
Normani loves name dropping beyonce, but beyonce doesn’t even acknowledge her.lol
Taylor did charity work for Camicky. She was her maid on tour and on stage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She would never do a song with her 😂
Why would Taylor and Camila do a song together? Their musical style dont blend
Normani always name dropping beyonce,
Beyonce doesnt know her. Lol
This so what happened to nicki and Arianna when they collaborated with normani
Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100: #4(new) Bad to You, @ArianaGrande, @Normani & @NICKIMINAJ.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is what happened to megan thee stallion when she collaborated with normani
Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100: #16(new) Diamonds, @theestallion & @Normani.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Havana- young thug’s highest charting song
Seniorita- shawn Mendes highest charting song
My oh my – dababy’s first number one song on pop radio
Bad things- machine gun Kelly’s highest charting song
This is what happens when u collaborate with Camila. 💅💅
When Camicky collabs with Camicky herself she flops
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So sad. Each person that list sells more records 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
80 K SPS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never be the same a solo song, peaked at number 6
Try again rat
If the remix was more popular , billboard would have credited the remix just like how they are crediting beyonce and nicki on both savage and say so.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All this mouth, until u ask them to show u normani on the billboard hot 100, itunes 100,, spotify 100, and then its grave yard silence
Cause nobody is worried about Normani that’s you SCUM. You ask the same question everyday as if Normani is gonna magically appear on billboard. Romance #3 album The Box blocked her
Someone is furious Camickys tour is cancelled 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We love to see it
Y’all are missing the point. Both of these songs are worthy of number 1 and really bringing it. Unlike Travis Scott who keeps racking up 1 week #1s due to streaming and are forgotten by the following week. I don’t think streaming should count…all sales and radio still. You want your fav to go #1? Buy their record
LOL DIDNT I TELL U BARFSOON CANT DEFEND C******* WITHOUT BRINING UP NORMANI WHO NOBODY TALKS ABOUT OR ASKS ABOUT OR MENTIONS CUZ WE DONT EVEN LISTEN TO HER 😂😂😂. LISTEN WHEN HE BRINGS UP MARIAH OR TONI OR JANET U KNOW QUEENS WE ACTUALLY STAN OR EVEN ARIANA THEN LETS TALK. HE SO PRESSED. CUZ C******* IS TRASH WHO HAS ONE NUMBER 6 SINGLE THAT BENEFITTED FROM YOUNG THUG GIVING HER A #1 😂😂😂

Rat
🤣
Y’all giving Nicki Minaj too much credit. The original Say So was already hot before she jumped on it.
Savage was warm before Beyoncé got on it. Bey did take it to the next level.
I WONDER IF PPL NOTICE BARFSOON STILL TRYNA ASK PPL ABOUT NORMANI WHEN THEY HAVE SAID THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT NOR LISTEN TO HER 😂😂😂😂. ANYONE WHO HATES C******* MUST LOVE NORMANI. WE DO NOT. IT MUST BE HARD TO STAN 2 5H GIRLS CUZ ONE FAVE IS RACIST 😂. MY CHILDREN OF DESTINY WOULD NEVA, A REAL GROUP WITH A REAL LEADER WHO BECAME A REAL STAR. IDK WHAT THIS QUEEN RAT DOESNT GET ABOUT US NOT CARING ABOUT NORMANI. CALL ME WHEN C******* IS ON THE LEVEL OF MY QUEEN MARIAH. NORMANI DONT EVEN HAVE AN ALBUM FOR US TO STAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. WE COULD STAN DINAH FIRST OR LAUREN CUZ THEY ACTUALLY DROP ISH 😂😂😂
Another essay from u but u still didnt answer my questions
Where is normani on the billboard hot 100, spotify 100, itunes 100
Waiting for answers
A stupid question by a pea brain camicky fan
Normani does bring have music out.
But she has 2 top 10 hits and a top 40 solo hit.
Where are CAmickys solo hits on the charts? Where is her latest remix that came out 2 days ago on the charts? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Where is her canceled tour , the one she Just announce opening act a for. 😂😂😂😂
Your girl is DONE . Accept it.
Never be the same was not a solo hit. The remix took it to the top 10. Period. Next.
*normani doesn’t have music out
A flop remix and A cancelled Tour in one week?
Damn. Camicky can’t catch a break.
Say so has been being played on radio way more than savage
Not a barb but I purchased say so remix to support Nicki. She deserves a number one in her bag
Meg little independent label can’t compete lol Doja got this
Watch the remix not go number 1 but Doja solo will 😂
Billboard has already said Nicki is credited and the remix will haha silly rabbit
LOL BARFSOON STILL DOESNT GET IT N CONTINUES TO ASK US ABOUT NORMANI WHEN WE CONTINUE TO SAY WE DONT CARE. SHE AINT EVEN MAKIN MUSIC. NON FACTOR. ASK US ABOUT WHO WE CARE ABOUT OR WHO ACTUALLY HAS MUSIC OUT. MESSY BOTTOM KEEPS ASKIN N WE CONTINUE TO ANSWER THAT WE DONT CARE NOR STAN FOR HER SO WHEN SHE DROPS MUSIC OR AN ALBUM ASK US ABOUT HER LMFAOOOOOOOOO SHE SCORED A FEW HITS THAT WAS THAT C******* HOWEVER HAS FULL PROMO ON EVERYTHING N CANT GO TOP 5 OR NUMBER ONE ALONE GIRL GONE
This ⬆️
Megan is taking this W. Deal.
Say So Original song might be better than savage, but based off remixes, Savage is better remix. It deserves #1 over say so remix. Doja didnt add a new verse & Nicki’s off topic angry verses didnt fit the song smh..
I love say so but savage remix is better . Just give megan her #1everyone was reciting beyonce’s lyrics. That say so remix is so average lol smh Idk why I sense shade with them releasing right after savage like you couldn’t wait a week? Same with Drake releasing that mess on the same day as say so trying to steal shine lol smh
& why can’t Beyonce get off her high horse & promote? Like damn girl we get it your a queen & above interviews & all that, But acknowledge you have a song out. Do an Ig story at minimum like geez!
Working with Beyoncé is a waste of time. She only care about getting paid and will never promote.
