Look at her now sounds about right.

It’s been nearly three years since Selena Gomez released new music from an official studio album and fans apparently couldn’t wait to get their eyes and ears on the latest from the Pop darling.  Dropping not one, but two new singles just a day apart, Gomez stunned fans with the haunting ballad, ‘Lose You To Love Me,’ before unveiling the uptempo ‘Look at Her Now.’  While the latter is looking to make its inaugural appearance on next week’s refreshed Hot 100, the former stormed digital sales, streaming, and radio tallies (as we reported here) to make a #15 premiere on this week’s singles chart.

Billboard also reports:

‘[‘Lose You to Love Me’ enters the Hot 100 with] 36,000 sold (digital sales), 15.3 million streams, and 14.1 million in radio audience impressions.’

Coming as the second-most impressive Hot 100 entrance of her career (following 2015’s #9 debut of ‘Good For You’), ‘Lose You’s first week performance is all the more impressive considering the song impacted charts based on just two days of sales counts due to its unconventional release date.

As we extend our congratulations to Selena, look inside to see who joins her in the top 25 of this week’s edition of TGJ Chart Check:

Rapper Kash Doll (born Arkeisha Knight) led her long-awaited studio album to chart battle on October 18, much to the delight of her growing legion of fans.

Titled ‘Stacked,’ the LP followed her critically acclaimed introductory efforts – 2018’s ‘Brat Mail’ mixtape and ‘The Vault’ EP (both credited with only building buzz for the beauty’s debut).  Yet, while ‘Stacked’ lived up to its title by including an impressive stack of features including Trey Songz, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Teyana Taylor, and more, it failed to deliver any Hot 100 charting singles ahead of its release.

Did that impact its first week performance on the Billboard 200?  Look inside to see how the project stacked up against the competition:
