Chart Check: Ella Mai’s ‘Little Things’ Marks Her Highest Hot 100 Debut in Almost 6 Years

Published: Wednesday 5th Mar 2025 by Rashad

Nearly four months after landing in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot R&B songs, Ella Mai has watched her comeback hit ‘Little Things‘ make a big move into the Pop charts.

Printed at #89, here are the numbers that powered the premiere placement of ‘Little Things.’

  • Streaming ≈ 7.1 million U.S.-based streams
  • Sales ≈ 600 digital downloads
  • Radio Airplay ≈ 6.2 million audience impressions

Found aboard her November 2024-released three-song EP (aptly titled ‘3‘), the #89 entry of ‘Little’ marks the highest debut Mai’s made on the Hot 100 since her fan-favorite ‘Shot Clock‘ rang into the fourth quadrant of the tally in summer 2019.

Closing a nearly three-year-long absence from the all-genre chart, ‘Little’ also comes as Ella’s first appearance on the hitlist since 2022’s ‘DFMU.’

As we congratulate the GRAMMY-winning songstress on her long overdue return to chart glory, look below to see who else had a great week on the Hot 100 courtesy of our weekly recap: TGJ Chart Check.
