Hot 100: Beyonce’s ‘Break My Soul’ Scores Second Week at #1

Published: Monday 15th Aug 2022 by Rashad

Beyonce made history last week when ‘Break My Soul’ – the first single from her seventh chart-topping solo album ‘Renaissance’ – blasted to #1 on the Hot 100 (as we reported here).

This week the refreshed edition of the tally reveals her reign has been extended.

Details inside:

 

Although its parent album slipped to #3 on the updated Billboard 200, ‘Break My Soul’ is holding strong atop the Hot 100 – fending off competition from the likes of BTS, Drake, Lizzo, Future, and more.

Here are the numbers that powered her stay.

  • Streaming:  14.5 million U.S.-based streams
  • Digital Downloads:  36,000 U.S.-based sales
  • Radio Airplay:  65.2 million audience impressions

As expected, the grip on the top spot was tightened in great part due to the “Queens Remix” of ‘Soul,’ which features a prominent interpolation of Madonna‘s iconic 1990 #1 hit ‘Vogue.’ 

However, because the Madge-assisted version did not account for the majority of the hit’s consumption over the last week the Pop Queen is not credited alongside Bey in the top spot.  What’s more, presence of ‘Soul’ was boosted by six alternate forms during the tracking week (Honey Dijon, Nita Aviance club mix; an a cappella version, instrumental versions, and Terry Hunter and will.i.am remixes).

The eighth tune of the 40-year-old’s solo career to own the throne of the hitlist, ‘Break’ comes as her first placed on the Pop chart’s perch by her lonesome since 2008’s ‘Single Ladies.’

Ahead of Tuesday’s weekly chart recap, ‘TGJ Chart Check’ (August 16), look below to see this week’s top 10.

    Who expected anything less from the QUEEN?

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      Well she hasn’t had a number 1 in 14 years on her own so don’t act like queen Beyoncé been knocking out number 1 s and all those remixes def only reason she number 1 was not even top 5 before that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        She had 5 #1 albums in those 14 years though. Dumb dumb.

      • Strawberry🍓 August 15, 2022

        But if people are REALLY BUYING All of those REMIXES, Then that means They must REALLY LOVE this Song.
        Cause REMIXES Only WORK when the song is a BONAFIDE Smash that Folks just can’t seem to get ENOUGH of. & So they’re WILLING to nap up any AND All Versions of the Song. Cuz NOBODYS gonna keep Reminding a Song unless the Song is IN DEMAND and people are Crazy about the Song.
        But just as BILLBOARD SAID, It’s STILL the ORIGINAL Version that People Fell in Love with, & it’s STILL the Version that People Love the most. “BREAK MY SOUL”, is one of those songs that YOU KNEW WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD IT, (..AND if you DIDN’T, It GREW on you until you found yourself singing along. It’s a HIGHLY Addictive song & one of the best LEAD Singles She’s ever had. *A Certified SONG OF THE SUMMER *Bop*.

        @Strawberry🍓

        STATE THOSE FACTS!!!!! 💯💯💯💯

        Yaaaaaaaaaaas!

      • UHoesFunny August 15, 2022

        She’s had top 10 records and number #1 albums in between. And she owns her master. And she currently has the #1 single in the world 🤣🤣🤣 can’t say the same for H******** B. All those fake plaques. And for what? 💀 now she’s been SHELVED. Can’t even release a 2nd album. Beyoncé is one her 7th. ALL NUMBER #1 albums. Meanwhile Hep B been FLOPPING ALL YEAR 😂😂😂😂😂 Hot DOO DOO not even on the charts anymore. That ruined her career. SHE’S OVER ⚰️

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        Even Meg dropped a second album before Hep B yet you call her the flop lmaoooooooooo! 🤣

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        I thought she was the “Queen of Rap?” 🤣

  2. Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

    #QUEENTINGZ! 👑

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      Such a queen yet hasn’t had a number 1 in 14 years as a lead ok 👌🏽😂😂😂😂

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        5 #1 albums in those 14 years say HI! 👋🏽 lmaoooooooooo! 🤣

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      Lies her last 2 albums the gift and that other mess flopped

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        She still had 5 that went #1 in those 14 years! Those two albums you just mentioned don’t change that! Hating ass!

      • UHoesFunny August 15, 2022

        Those aren’t solo releases dumbass. Those were soundtrack and compilation albums. Try again hater 🤣 H******** B won’t get a chance to drop a 2nd album lmfaooo

      • Brav0!! August 15, 2022

        say:
        @Dc, Beyonce is the greatest entertainer, of this
        generation and the’ only one. I will start the
        argument of her last two albums, one was a
        soundtrack & Beyonce promotion, and doing an
        album with jayz should have never happened. My
        reason is because of jayz, period. Mary j blige is a great entertainer, but not the greatest of this generation. I have been in love with Mary j blige since Father Mc’s days. I purchase STARZ just to watch Mary j blige. I still support, and defend my Queen. I am so happy Mary j blige is dominant in her lane. Beyoncé is truly the greatest of this generation

      • Bravo!! August 15, 2022

        @Dc The Carters album wasn’t promoted correctly

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      You bragging bout meg getting a second album and it’s a flop first single flopped HER only has 187,000 views in 5 hours and song missing from iTunes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        Just stay in the corner like you always do, you little rat 🐀

      • Maya August 15, 2022

        You are a grown adult and this is what you do for a living, you follow this page just to obsessively hate on beyonce, the jealousy and bitterness you feel is truly not good for your health because she is 25 years in and still going number 1 and in between the 14 years she had multiple of her own top 10 and 20 singles and had 5 number 1 albums plus massive tours and loads of grammy’s and had collaborative number 1s and now has shown that she can go number 1 on her own, people are loving the remixes and streaming and buying everything because they LOVE her music, unlike taylor swift who used 16 remixes yet her song went number 1 for only 4 days 😂

    • R&blovher August 15, 2022

      i always see you having some beef with somebody around, why are you doing that? you want everybody to leave?

      • R&blovher August 15, 2022

        question for shayla

  3. Nicky August 15, 2022

    A solo hit did that.

    Remember those Camônkey fans were talking trash. Saying that she hopped on Ed and Meg collabs because she can’t do on her own

    😂😂😂😂😂. Remember they made fun of her soundtrack sales.

    Now where is Camônkey 😂😂😂😂😂😂. That nasty girl doesn’t even have a solo top 40 hit to her name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    The nerve to call her the new Beyonce 😂😂😂

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

      I believe it was Normani they called the new Beyoncé. Don’t rewrite history now, chile…

    • RAY August 15, 2022

      Who is C*******? Lol

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        Exactly. Nicky’s stuck-in-2018 ass is the only one that still talks about her.

  4. BreakMyHole August 15, 2022

    Now Nicki this is longevity, not front loaded streaming. Take notes. CONGRATS QUEEN! They stay trying to count you out.

    • FAF August 15, 2022

      No that’s remixes

      A whole EP worth and name dropping everyone from A to Z so they tweet to promote the song and then having a ball for media coverage

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        And still did two weeks at #1 with NO MUSIC VIDEO at 40+ years old. Stay mad.

      • Maya August 15, 2022

        You act like beyonce is the ONLY blk female musician to have called other musicians names in their songs yet didn’t go number 1, also people actually have to BUY and STREAM the songs if they LIKE IT, unlike taylor swift for example in which her 16 remixes ended up only giving her a number 1 song for 4 days meanwhile yonce has been number 1 for 2 weeks plus top 10 for months now, stay pressed. Those people she called are mostly underrated and irrelevant

  5. UHoesFunny August 15, 2022

    Bey Haters: “This will be a free fall”

    BREAK MY SOUL: *NEVER FALLS*

    Bey Haters: “This won’t go number #1”

    BREAK MY SOUL: *GOES NUMBER #1*

    Bey Haters: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

    BEYHIVE: 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • Live love laugh August 15, 2022

      It only went number one with all those remixes. Wasn’t gonna hit number one by herself lmao. You Beyoncé fans are delusional if u think it would have.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        And NO MUSIC VIDEO!

        The Queen shut s*** DOWN! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

      • UHoesFunny August 15, 2022

        That’s the dumbest excuse. But of course a dumbass like you would believe it 🤣🤣🤣😂 and so what?!! If it did, it WORKED dummy. She has a number #1 single on Billboard. No matter how you shuffle LOL 😂 YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT 😘 but just for fun, let’s play devil’s advocate here. Let’s say she never did the remixes and dropped a music video instead. The excuse would’ve been “She dropped a music video and that’s the only reason why it’s number #1” 😂😂😂😂 well yeah duh dumbass. It’s called a campaign. That’s like telling a chef that he shouldn’t cook or else the people will get fed. Or telling a doctor to not help save someone’s life. Like what? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 y’all haters are so dumb

      • Maya August 15, 2022

        You are acting like if a random musician had remixes that would make them go number 1, stop making excuses the remixes helped however the song was already top 10 for WEEKS with no music video or performance. If she released it with a music video PLUS a performance she won’t need a remix, beyonce is the Queen. Accept it and move on

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      You bragging bout Beyoncé owning masters but did she own masters her whole career im curious when did she get her masters if not on her debut album than stfu

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        She owns them NOW! Always talking about the past! FOOL!

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        Beyoncé was also never signed to a 360 deal… Let that sink in, dummy.

    • Dc August 15, 2022

      Do you work at Atlantic do u know cardi won’t get a second album ???????? The first one sold 52 million RIAA albums and singles so to think she won’t get a second album your dumb af

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

        100k pure sales 💀 Stop it.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 August 15, 2022

      • UHoesFunny August 15, 2022

        H******** is barely surviving the streaming era. She 100% would have NOT survive the pure sales era. And yes beyoncé has owned her masters from the start of her solo career dumbass 🤣 Hep B is signed to a bogus 360 deal 💀 and sees NONE of the residuals from her sales LMFAOOO. Another stupid industry broad. She’s doing everything BUT drop her second album. Dumb h oe just got a tattoo on her face 😮‍💨 next to the knot on her forehead from when Nicki punched her ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣 SHE IS WASHED 🧼
