Today’s thread is brought to you by the numbers 2, 57K and 1.5M.
Post Malone continues his iron grip on the top spot of the Hot 100, but his numbers are slipping. Can Camila be number one next week? Eminem looked to spoil the show, but his new song isn’t resonating. Maroon 5 latest single moves into the top 10.
1 (1) Post Malone “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage 47K (+2%), 43.6M stream [#1] (-5%), 74M AI (+17%)
2 (2) Camila Cabello “Havana” featuring Young Thug 57K (+22%), 32.9M streams (+2%), 75M AI (+23%)

HDD is now predicting that Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” will sell in the range of 1.4-1.5M equivalent albums, 1.37-1.47M albums (her album is not available to stream this week). This would mean she is outselling her previous album “1989” released in 2014. Given the sagging album market, this is nothing less than remarkable. Her lead off singles even failed to really launch. Good for Taylor.
