Chart Check [Hot 100]: Ariana Grande’s ‘Boy is Mine’ Jumps Nearly 50 Spots After Boost from Brandy & Monica Remix

Published: Friday 5th Jul 2024 by Rashad

Monica may have once declared her and Brandy‘s legendary hit ‘The Boy is Mine‘ was “too sacred” to remake, but chart-topping Pop star Ariana Grande‘s decision to take the “inspired by” route (instead of a direct duplication) apparently got both R&B divas’ stamp of approval as they not only appeared in the tune’s music video but later lent their talents to its official remix.

And though the ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ favorite had already cracked the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20 at the time of its parent album’s release (#16 peak), it was seemingly on its way off the chart before Bran and Mo worked their magic.

See their impact inside.

After slipping to #74 on last week’s Hot 100, the refreshed edition sees Grande printed at #29 with ‘Boy’ – a feat that represents a whopping 45-spot jump.

The song rejoins its predecessor, the former chart-topper ‘We Can’t Be Friends,’ inside the hitlist’s top 40, an ascension that makes Ariana, Taylor Swift, GloRilla, and Billie Eilish the only female acts with concurrent top 40 smashes on the updated all-genre chart.

Here are the figures that powered the boost.

  • Sales ≈ 3,000 digital downloads
  • Radio airplay ≈ 8.3 million audience impressions
  • Streams ≈ 11.4 million U.S.-based streams
*figures above represent combined performance of ‘Boy is Mine’ original and remix

And while the impressive hop is undoubtedly due in great part to the remix, Billboard did not credit the Bran and Mo mix of ‘Boy’ because that version did not outperform the original.

      What are you smoking? Omarion before all those people? Ciara said herself that Janet’s choreography is difficult and very intricate when she did the tribute in 2015. Usher might be older, but his style is not one Omarion could touch. And as much as I don’t like Beyonce, I’d be crazy to place her so far down on your list. More like…

      1. MJ
      2. Chris
      3. Janet
      4. Beyonce
      5.Usher
      6. Clara
      7. Normani
      8. JLo
      9. Omarion
      10. Monica

        This isnt a VERSUZ battle or popularity contest… this is about who wins in a prime
        DANCE BATTLE given the exact same dificult choreography.
        The first 30 seconds of Omarion’s BET award performance proves that Omarion was on a Jabbawockeez Ivl in his prime… & above the rest 2nd to only MJ.

        @marilyn+monH🪩E+®+👠(#1+DIVA)

        LOL in any case, you’re smoking crack with that ridiculous list LOL

      • marilyn+monH🪩E+®+👠(#1+DIVA) July 5, 2024

        & Janet out dancing Usher is
        LAUGHABLE. Beyonce outdancing Normani is also LAUGHABLE. & Jlo outdancing Omarion is your greatest dose of comedy yet. A This isn’t about who u like more nor is it about best performer, if it was, I would’ve put beyonce at #1.

      • marilyn+monH🪩E’s ENDER July 5, 2024

        JANET can outdance usher even if she was in crutches.
        And anybody can out dance
        Omarion. Your list is LAUGHABLE. 🤡

      • marilyn+monH🪩E+®+👠(#1+DIVA) July 5, 2024

        Thope u realize that this list isn’t about who’s
        CHOREOGRAPHY u like most or who’s the better performer. It’s about who has the RAWEST dance talent/skill and whos best equipped in a life or death DANCE BATTLE in their PRIME.
        Chris brown himself said he wasn’t touching Touch 0 on drink champs

      • marilyn+monH🪩E’s ENDER July 5, 2024

        Clara smokes bou normant and beyonce in dancing. Like I said, LAUGHABLE list from a laughable CLOWN lol

      • marilyn+monH🪩E’s 2ND ENDER July 5, 2024

        LOL I know what your bullsh*t list is supposed to be about, and I said what I said, it’s LAUGHABLE CLOWN SH*T

      • marilyn+monH🪩E+®+👠(#1+DIVA) July 5, 2024

        You need to do your research on OMARION.
        Him being mediocre Artist with a mediocre vision has nothing to do with DANCE.

        Normani in the WILD SIDE video & im FENTY X proves that Ciara isn’t touching Normani on any stage.

        Normani & Chris brown devours Ciara
        Usher & Omarion devours
        Chris brown.

        This is about skill, symmetry, precision & ability. And most of all GRAVITY DEFIANCE
        No dancer (that sings) has ever moved gravity more than MJ, OMARION USHER & CHRIS BROWN. > JANET CIARA.

      • marilyn+monH🪩E’s ENDER July 5, 2024

        Lol girl shut your LAUGHABLE CLOWN ass up with this nonsense already, nobody is buying it or knows who Omarion is. Janet says to keep her name away from these nobodies too lol. 🤡

  5. marilyn+monH🪩E+®+👠(#1+DIVA) July 5, 2024

    This little “jumps” is a little to CONVENIENT for me. How did this happen just HOURS (practically minutes) just b4 the update?

    Aariana was supposed to be GETTING READY or on a plane or something, I understand this could have happened YESTERDAY or the day b4 but I doubt it. The timing is way too convenient for me.

    I believe this is a faked chart update to get back at republic for album/career sabotage and poor management/budget.
