As the age-old adage goes, anything can happen. A reality that is especially true when it comes to the Billboard Hot 100.
As reported, data tallies had Dua Lipa on course to score her first #1 with ‘Levivating.’
Now, after an unusual 48-hour delay, the latest incarnation of the chart has been unveiled and another act sits in pole position.
Full story below…
With fans waiting with bated breath for this week’s Hot 100, Billboard has finally obliged and made sure to note that the delay was due to “standard audits being conducted on reported data.” The note continued and cited expressed goal of working with “data partners to recognize and resolve anomalies.”
Now the curtain has been flung back and it reveals that Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak has returned to #1 with ‘Leave The Door Open.’
Lipa, meanwhile, leaps to a new peak of #2.
The duo, who go by Silk Sonic, pulled off the feat with the following numbers:
- Streaming: 17.8 million streams
- Digital Downloads: 14,200 downloads
- Radio Airplay: 87 million impressions
‘Levitating’ managed its rise with:
- Streaming: 21.9 million streams
- Digital Downloads: 19,900 downloads
- Radio Airplay: 59.7 million impressions
As the numbers show, radio play is what nabbed the win for Silk Sonic.
The #2 finish for Lipa will no doubt be bittersweet.
On the one hand, she manages to match her prior Hot 100 peak, following the #2 placement of ‘Future Nostalgia’s’ 2020 lead single ‘Don’t Start Now.’
Yet, she was on the cusp of making history had ‘Levitating’ – which first impacted the tally 32 weeks ago – hit #1.
And it’s clear all involved were aware, as all versions of the track (which boasts many remixes, including one with Madonna) were slashed to $0.69 to assist its chances.
Time will tell if the song can manage the feat in future weeks.
For now, though, it’s celebration time for Bruno and Anderson, who now reign for their second non-consecutive week.

Mess! 😂 They could’ve kept this lol🚪

HAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂
Dua lipa and her team are very fraudulent
They are the reason why the charts wasnt updated on time
How many versions of levitating was she selling on itunes and Amazon for 69 cents.
You’re a lunatic we’re to you just praising her the other day?? Now you’re laughing cause she is number 2? Where’s Camila on the charts? Exactly…you’re just pissed that Dua is gagging you after you for a year have tried to say she wouldn’t be successful. You’re mad that she has 2 grammys and Camila has none. Sit yo crazy ass down
Dua lipa’s grammys are bought by her label just like how they tried to buy a number one for her this week but they failed miserably.
Billboard wasnt having it.
I dont hate dua, I’m happy for everything she has achieved, I’m happy she also took f******* of her song if ain’t me. 😂
Dua is all smoke and mirrors. She is a cheat. Her and her label/team are fraudulent as hell.
I dont like cheating.
Everything she has achieved is bought and paid for by her powerful record label.
Camila has 2 number one songs
A number one album
2 latin Grammy awards.
She’s good.
Continue crying under my comment, we love to see your tears. 😂
Exactly!! Dua actually has 3 Grammys. She doesn’t need the lessor Latin Grammys. She has the real Grammys where all artist compete. A competitive GRAMMY not the lesser. Camila was nominated for Grammys as a solo artist and she lost them all. I doubt she will win any depends, how her third album goes because bromance was a big a s s FLOP!!
Grammys are bought and paid for
Camila has 2 number 1 songs and a number one debut album, something dua doesnt have cause this cant be bought
Billboard has written an article about how dua us using payola for levitating
This is the second time a publication is writing about dua using payola
The first publication to expose dua for using payola was rolling stone magazine
You are truly bothered you wish Dua’s Grammys were bought but the are NOT. It’s not our fault FLOPMILA doesn’t have any Grammys. Please let me know what competitive Grammy Camilla has? Camilla used payola for her Number one song. Billboard never said Dua used Payola for Levitating. The song would have been number one Romance is a FLOP period. Future Nostalgia was released after Romance and Dua sold more. The longevity album speaks for itself. Please ask the Grammys to give Camila a competitive then I’ll care what you actually have to say. If Grammys could be bought then explain why Katy Perry doesn’t have a Grammy? Why? Shut your hating. A S S up. You’re a d a m n hater.

“illboard never said Dua used Payola for Levitating”
“Levitating experienced an atypical resurgence in radio…”
“gains…including a half-dozen versions of the song…discounted to 69¢”
—billboard.com
😂😂
The way you played urself.
The article is there on billboard website.
She had 14 different versions of levitating selling them for 69 cents. Can u imagine
Camila can never do that
Havana had only 1 latino remix with daddy yankee. She never sold this song for 69 cents
Senorita had no remix, no live performance, nothing but it still went number. She never sold this song for 69 cents .
These are organic hits.
Romance didnt sell 18k pure sales in it first week like future nostalgia did. 😭😭. Romance outdebuted.
Dua lipa is humiliating herself.
Everybody is finally noticing she’s a scam.
Camila has won 2 latin grammys.
Latin grammys are Grammys. She.didnt even attend the ceremony the night she won cause she was busy.
Dua’s team is buying accolades and awards for her. They tried to buy her this number 1 spot but billboard said HELL NOOOO.
She has been exposed as a fraud.
Camilla has 0 GRAMMYS I looked on Grammy.com and it says 0 for Three nominations. Continuing spewing out your s h i t t y lies. You wish Camilla have Grammys she has NONE Latin Grammys are not competitive Grammys where all Artist from different genres to compete. Payola I’ve checked Billboard they never said that so you lying again. Keep lieing Dua has 3 Grammys and FLOP a S S MILA have 0 for 3 nominations. Dang you would think she would have had a Grammy by now after releasing two albums and Having two Number 1 songs lol. It’s not about chart positions but longevity which is why Future Nostalgia sold more over 1.3 million sold I. The U.S. Romance the flop is no where to be found on the Billboard 200 she’s a FLOP !! Future Nostalgia currently sits in the Top 5. 0.69 cents or Not your girl Flop Milla debuted at Number 3 with FIVE different covers and payola and still missed the TOP spot. Remember when your hating. A S S said Dua won’t go Platinum she prove your lieing a s s WRONG. Please go ask The recording academy to give Camilla a Grammy because she has ZERO after releasing two Albums. FLOPMILLA has payola number 1’s and still no Grammys Poor thing!! Dua released two albums and WON 3 Grammys!!
“Billboard they never said that so you lying again.”
😂
I literally gave u a quote from the billboard article.
““Levitating experienced an atypical resurgence in radio…”
U are trying too hard
I know ur angry that ur girl didnt get that number one spot after releasing 14 different versions of the same song and discounting it for 69 cents.
The label sent emails to her fans, encouraging them to buy this song so many times for 69 cents.
Grammys are bought
The weeknd not getting any nominations is a clear indication of that.
Dua lipa is a scammer. A fraud. She has been exposed again by billboard
She has no dignity.
So shameful and desperate
Dua will never last cause her fame is not organic. She will still fade away just like rita ora.
Camila has dignity.
Her hits are organic
Dua can never relate
How can u have the number 2 song in the country the same week u release ur album, only for ur album to sell 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4 💀💀
That’s how u know payola
That’s how u know someones success is not organic
Havana was number 2 the same week Camila released her debut album.
Her album hit number one on the album charts and Havana rose to the number one spot also simultaneously
That’s how u know an organic hit song and real organic success. 😌💅

Sounds like a big lie!! They knew what they were doing from the beginning. I don’t believe it. The streams and sales for Levitating are impressive after 32 weeks. Something isn’t adding up here and the put Dua at Number 1 for the Artist 100 It took them a whole two days ridiculous. I’ve lost credibility with Billboard. Atlantic and Warner were battling it out behind the scenes
“The streams and sales for Levitating are impressive after 32 weeks.”
Dua was selling 30 different versions of Levitating for 69 cents.
Her label literally sent emails to her fans to buy 4 copies each of this song for 69 cents.
😭
Dua lipa’s label was the reason why the charts were delayed cause they had to recount and recount the sales but she still came up short. 😂
Why do angry today lol!!
Hmm…. Interesting!!
Dua lipa= she thought she could steal that number one spot.
What a fraudulent bìtch.
She’s the most manufactured artist of the century.
Radio pulled this song at the beginning of this year but her label payoled the song again for the second time.
She’s a smoke and mirrors artist
At least she’s not racist
“Dua lipa has apologized for using N word on song back in 2014.”
😍😍
Let’s not forget she travelled and parties during the covìd lock down
She broke covìd restrictions endangering people’s lives.
Not only is she a racist who loves singing the N word, she’s also a murderèr
😂😂
It’s the desperation for me 😰😰😰
Dua is a fraud and Billboard wasn’t going to allow it.
Congrats to Dua again on another peak from Future Nostalgia lol!! The haters in the comments need to shut up!! Dua has three Grammys still sold over 1 million. Honestly could care less if she went number 1!! 0.69 cents or not lol!!
She’ll get to #1 before Camicky, that’s for damn sure lmaooooooooo 🤣 Slow and steady wins the race 💯 Do it Dua 🤳🏽
Nobody hates dua lipa but she and her team cheat alot. She is a massive fraud.
She’s all smoke and mirrors
Levitating is an old song but this song has been number one on spotify’s top playlist for over 1 year. Can u imagine. They paid spotify to keep that song at the number 1 spot so people will stream it.
Hmm…. Interesting?
I’m not surprised by this!!
A number one song is hard to get, not everyone has that to their credit
Camila cabello- 2 number one songs
Havana
Senorita
😌💅
I dont hate dua but she is a bloody cheat.
Remember when her album sold 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4. She had the number 2 song in the country the same week she released this album.
Dua will get to #1 before Camicky ever does AGAIN lol…emphasis on again 🤣 Good luck with Cinderfella tho!
Why does that even matter??? A year later and your still saying that d a m n you really hate Dua!! Future Nostalgia is still in the Top 10 for 13 weeks straight 1,314,000 SOLD. It’s not our fault she WON a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album S*** it Hater!!
What a Joke!
Next week Olivia rodrigo gonna block dua with her song good for u. 😂😂
We love to see it.
And Camicky will be in a studio gathering flops and singing off-key lmaooooooooo 👀
Dua’s new paid partnership with Truly is a must see love the new AD did y’all haters see it? Since y’all hate Dua so much!! . It seems they are really pushing Olivia the new pop girl she’s about to get another number 1 next week. Olivia is the perfect recipe for Best New Artist at the 2022 Grammys!!
According to reports her fans overseas were using VPN to mass buy this song but what they didnt know is billboard.com has a tool to fish out fraudulent sales that are brought with VPN.
😂😂
Camicky is straight to DVD, worry bout dat 🤣
I’m not surprised by this!!
Now! I love Dua but it’s ironic that she’s been accused of payola last year and now it’s radio payola making her “eat dust”
Levitating is a great record though and that’s why it’s been so steady. I wish her team would not make her look desperate and just do their job, this song would’ve been a perfect New Year’s #1 had they played their cards right.
However, before you call someone “smoke and mirrors” make sure your fav ain’t sucking down low d*** for a hit and attention! 🤫 Dua Lipa the Best New Artist Grammy winner has issued bop after bop on her own and she got no time for this
Exactly she literally missed the Top spot because of Radio Airplay 🤔🤔🤔 I’m not surprised these manipulative charts. I’m so proud of her releasing so many Bops this past year. She’s really improved. One of the main Pop Girls in the industry. At least Dua can say she has Grammys and Not to mention Brit Awards and Platinum Plaques. 4 million units of Future Nostalgia sold worldwide. Dua is still in the Top 10 a year later 13 weeks straight. The only female album in the Top 10. According to Hits daily double, Dua sold 587k so far this year.
I’m sorry but Bruno’s new song has gotten stale now. The only song in the Top 10 I actually like is Dua & Doja tracks. The rest are blah to me.
I’m shocked they called the charts so late At least she’s Number 1 on the Artist 100 Canadian Hot 100 and Number 1 on the Digital Songs chart. I’m not sure how this song will hit Number 1 now so many new songs coming out. She may still have a chance.
Exactly they are so calculated at this point. How is it that certain songs hit Number one with the least Airplay weird!!
It took Billboard this long to post the charts. This seems very calculated. 87 million impressions for Leave the door open?? Really? I don’t believe that one bit. Dua really has longevity. Dua’s fifth single from Future Nostalgia hit the Top 2 almost a year later. Remember this song originally debuted at Number 73!! Congratulations to Dua for Winning Album of the year at the Brit Awards and The Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards. Although I’m not happy with the results. One of the best Pop Eras in the last decade. She needs to continue with this momentum and not take any breaks. She should continue to release high budgeted videos.
According to an official statement, the Hot 100 was delayed as Billboard and MRC “conducted standard audits on reported data, working with data partners to recognize and resolve anomalies.”
Dua lipa getting exposed again for scamming her way to the top.
Poor Dua! She been promoting this album for over a year and pulled all kinds of stunts just to get blocked by two crackheads in pajamas.
