Chart Check [Hot 100]: Camila Cabello’s ‘Bam’ Marks the Second-Highest Debut of Her Career

Published: Tuesday 15th Mar 2022 by Rashad

Camila Cabello welcomes ‘Familia’ single ‘Bam Bam’ to the family of her solo hits thanks to an impressive top 40 debut on the refreshed Hot 100.

Details inside:

Not even 24 hours after the March 4 arrival of the Ed Sheeran-assisted ‘Bam,’ the tune was penciled atop real-time sales tallies around the world – including the United States.

That warm reception during its inaugural sales tracking week, alongside promising streams and radio airplay, led industry analysts to predict the Ricky Reed-produced song would premiere in the Hot 100’s top 40 (with some forecasting placement as high as top 10).

Ultimately opening at #23, look below to see the first-week numbers that powered ‘Bam’ to the position of being this week’s highest-charting new song.

  • Digital downloads ≈ 8,000 sold
  • Radio Airplay 14.4 million audience impressions
  • Streaming ≈ 9.3 million U.S.-based streams

Her 8th top 40 hit as a solo act, the debut of ‘Bam’ marks Cabello’s second-highest first-week bow on the hit list following the #2 arrival of 2019’s ‘Senorita’ alongside ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes.

Look below to see who joins Cabello and Sheeran on this week’s updated TGJ Chart Check.

    Nine of Burrito Cantina’s top ten hits are solo. Do it on your own Burrito. Never be the same had a remix too.

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 15, 2022

      None**

    • Saint Germain March 15, 2022

      Ahahaha why burritos cantina?

      • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 15, 2022

    March 4, 2022

    This is literally the equivalent of Meghan Trainors “nice to meet ya” with Nicki. Same last ditch effort to save the album campaign with a feature. It won’t work in this situation just like it didn’t work then, Epic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 15, 2022

      And clearly it didn’t work if it peaked at #23 with a live performance the day of release, expensive video, and a feature from one of the most successful male artists out currently. Issa flop. Next caller.

      • Clarks0o00ñ March 15, 2022

        “if it peaked at #23 ”

        U stan normani so of cause u dont have a functioning brain.
        U will still take the L.
        Be patient
        😂

    Well, no Top 5 debut for Bum Bum lmaoooooooooooooo 😂 We (the level-headed people) already knew it wouldn’t do that because the song is not the second coming of Livin La Vida Loca or If You Had My Love by ANY means chile 🤣👀💋

  22. Nicky March 15, 2022

    Showing her flat chest n****** and for what? Shît didn’t even go top 20 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I literally cannot stop laughing

    Karma is always gon be that bîtch. Ed can write this off on his taxes

  23. Limoncello March 15, 2022

    This girl cannot get a solo hit if her life depended on it. Always relying on a male feature for clout. Shes such a loser and a fake pop star and a racist with zero talent.😂😂😂😂😂😂

      What are you talking about?

  24. Bones March 15, 2022

    The Camilla town crying Stan needs to bow her head in shame and sit this one out.

    Allow me to borrow from her weak vocabulary…”A WHOLE ED FEATURE!”

    He is arguably the biggest pop star tight now and a streaming and radio giant, yet here we are. If only they invest as much effort they put into bringing down a woman that did nothing to them or know about their existence, perhaps…just perhaps their girl will be doing so much better.

    I have nothing against Camilla, but truth is when her talent is placed side by side against Normani (who I think her talent is neither ground breaking), Normani will always outshine. Notmani’s vocal talent may be limited, but everyone knows she is a star and a performer!

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      You’re just mad because she’s winning again, opening at 23 is nice, it’s gonna progress from there and it’s better than opening at 50 or 100. 2nd best opening of her career and y’all haters are stilm there to talk like she was losing something LOL funny.

  25. Bones March 15, 2022

    8k digital sales after all that discount and support from Ed Sheeran. Promo with radio and stream push right out the gate.

    Wild side only had Cardi, no promo, no radio push when it dropped , no push from the streaming from, but managed to go platinum…radio picked the song when the hype on tweeter did die down. Wild side is an organic hit that people wanted.

    Mind you Normani is still building her fan base and is not an established act yet. Camilla has a much streaming power she has built over the years , so she could have easily had a top 10 debut when you match her and Ed’s stats…but here we are.

    She is every inch a flop as Normani. Only difference is one is established in the game and the other is still trying to find her footing in the game while fighting the big monsters of the entertainment industry called racism and colourism.

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      Many popular and past succesful artist can’t have a top 10 anymore, and so what? Are you saying that they are no more relevant or interesting? You only have interest in the top 10 artists of the week?

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      By the way, in the US, “Never Be the Same” peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified triple platinum. It charted in the top 10 in a number of other countries including Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal and the UK. Certifications: 3× Platinum in Australia, 3× Platinum in Brazil, 4× Platinum in Canada, 2× Platinum in Mexico, 4× Platinum in the USA, 1 time in New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

      Bye.

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      It started at 23 so that means it started very well and gonna progress (that’z why they say it opened at), what you don’t understand? It’a a win for her, one more after 2 albums, where is Normani first album?

      Ask Camila, she knows better about Platinum.

  29. Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 15, 2022

    This song isn’t exactly your typical “pop” song. She’s trying something different and is taking a risk which should be commended. Whereas Wild Side was completely unoriginal and complete rip-off of Aaliyah’s One in a Million.

    Let’s not forget THAT part.

    • UHoesFunny March 15, 2022

      not you comparing Normani’s old platinum hit record to Camicky’s latest and current FLOP 😂🤣🤣🤣

      • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

        Flop? It just started at 23 and it’s her 2nd best start, what are you talking about?

    • Bones March 15, 2022

      Lol. This is a joke right? Cos there is nothing risky about the song. She is trying to cash in on the Latin market. That’s the niche she is trying to carve for herself. She is trying to be the next Latin diva and it’s not happening. There is nothing Original or risky about the sounds any of the 5H girls have touched. Taking a risk would be her doing something fresh and not another song that sounds like a rejected track from summer of 1998

      • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

        But you don’t mind when Normani recycles Aaliyah? Interresting.

  30. Lele March 15, 2022

    😂😂😂😂

    Dumb dirty desperate ugly rat thought Ed & showing her pancake boy b00bies would get her in the top ten

    Issa FLOP still. Couldn’t even debut the top 20? A whole Ed sheeran feature !!

    😂😂😂😂

    I cannot stop laughing 😂😂😂😂

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      It opened at 23, that means it’s gonna progress from that Forest.

      Wow 70 weeks? That’s amazing. What a hit!!

    • Honestly March 15, 2022

      NAH Loooooooooool

  34. True Tea March 15, 2022

    A woman who has sold 10M….A whole Ed Sheeran feature & couldn’t even crack Top 20, lol

    B*tch! I am gagging. 😂

    • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

      It debuts at 23 so that means it’s gonna move, just watcth and hate 😉

      • True Tea March 16, 2022

        That’s not the point.

      • SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

        Many popular artists don’t open at 20 with or without featuring. Just watch the song progress in the charts, and if it doesn’t rise more well it’s still nice to have a second best opening chart song.

  35. SoNotSorry March 16, 2022

    For the haters that praise Normani, Camila is the 22nd pop artist from who the singles charted the longest in the world, between Nelly Furtado and Madonna. Janet is 47, Whiney 46, just to say.

    • ManiGang 💋 March 16, 2022

      Where the f*** Nelly Furtado at? You tried it

      • SoNotSorry March 17, 2022

        Nelly is the 21 and Madonna 23, pure facts anyone can verify. Did you? Dumbo.

  36. Hmm March 17, 2022

    With all the stunts you would think it would debut in the Top 10. The song was selling for 0.69 cents and featured Ed Sheeran one of the biggest Male Pop Artist at the moment.
