Song Ratings: Week Ending April 22, 2021

Music ratings are divided into two weekly posts: one for albums, and one for individual songs; this is the song post. Songs achieve their positions on the weekly Billboard & Rolling Stone lists based on three major metrics: sales, streaming, and airplay. Below are three charts: the top 25 songs of the week based on total U.S. sales, the top 25 based on total U.S. streaming and the top 40 songs of the week based on U.S. pop radio airplay. An additional radio chart is also included with the top 50 songs of the week according to Mediabase which uses different methodology than Nielsen who compiles the regular chart. 

Due to some insane growth over the last couple weeks, Gabby Barrett's 'The Good Ones' has soared to the summit of the song sales chart, logging 13,100 sales in the tracking week ending April 22. This narrowly edged out Bruno Mars' 'Leave the Door Open' (13,000) which rises 4-2 in the rankings despite sales being down from last week. 'Astronaut in the Ocean' from Masked Wolf was about even with last week's numbers (12,800) but rose to a new peak of third on the week. Elsewhere in the chart, Lil Nas X's 'Montero (CMBYN)' tumbled by more than half from last week to ~8,500 as did Polo G's 'Rapstar' (2,400 from 5,400). Of note below the top 25 was Mooski's 'Track Star' (1,500), Drake's 'Wants and Needs' & 'What's Next' (both 1,300), Doja Cat's 'Streets' (1,200). Note: this list only includes songs that had over $38.31K revenue for the week; a song with less than $38.31K in revenue could theoretically have more sales than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

'Rapstar' held the top spot on the song streaming chart with approximately 34.4 million U.S. streams in the tracking week ending April 22. This was down more than 10 million from last week's huge debut, but still a solid margin over 'Montero (CMBYN)' which remained in the second spot with its 22.6 million streams. Four songs from the new Young Stoner Life album 'Slime Language' hit the top 25 this week with 'Solid' ranking third (21.8 million), 'Ski' (16.9 million), 'Diamonds Dancing' (12.7 million), and Proud of You' (10.3 million). The next few spots were similar to last week as Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' and Doja Cat's 'Kiss Me More' both dipped one spot (3-4 and 4-5 respectively) while Olivia Rodrigo's 'Deja Vu' slipped 5-7 and Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' rose 7-6. Note: this list only includes songs that had over $38.31K revenue for the week; a song with less than $38.31K in revenue could theoretically have more streams than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

The Weeknd's 'Save Your Tears' spends a second consecutive week atop the Pop Radio chart with approximately 15,167 plays in the tracking week ending April 24 according to Nielsen. The song posted a gain of 800 plays vs. last week's numbers, making it the fifth-most increased song of the week. Despite falling 1635 plays from last week, 'You Broke Me First' from Tate McRae held the second position on the chart with 12,353, giving it a thin margin over Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers License' (12,277) which itself rises 4-3 this week. With Billie Eilish's 'Therefore I Am' solidly in the fourth spot, notably three out of the top four songs on Pop Radio this week come from artists born in the 2000s. Elsewhere, Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' has been soaring up the chart, increasing 2243 plays this week and rising 11-6 in the rankings, while Doja Cat's 'Kiss Me More' had the week's second-best gain - up 1576 plays (23-22 in rankings), and Ariana Grande's 'POV' the third-best (+1231).
