While Travis Scott‘s ‘Utopia‘ is living up its title for fans who have impatiently waited since 2018’s ‘AstroWorld‘ for a new album from the GRAMMY nominee, the set’s first official single – ‘K-Pop‘ – is certainly proving itself the calm before the storm.
Details inside.
The refreshed Hot 100 was unveiled Monday (July 31) and sees Scott printed in the top 10 with The Weeknd and Bad Bunny-assisted jam. Here are the numbers that powered the placement.
- Streaming: 19.4 million U.S.-based streams
- Digital Downloads: 35,000 sold
- Radio Airplay: 10.6 million audience impressions
The Boi-1da-produced cut garnered a commercial performance combo potent enough to pop in at #7 – marking the fifth-highest debut of Travis’ career as a song leader (following ‘Sicko Mode,’ ‘Highest in the Room,’ ‘Franchise,’ and ‘The Scotts’). Overall, it marks his 12th visit to the chart region.
For Bad Bunny, ‘K-Pop’ logs his 11th trek in the Hot 100’s top 10 while marking The Weeknd’s 17th.
The news comes just days after industry analysts predicted the song’s July 28-released parent album could enter the Billboard 200 with Scott’s biggest first-week sum to date thanks to gargantuan streaming numbers.
Thank you for ignoring that other song! Nice to see a Hot 100 article that doesn’t mention that hate-filled ditty.
