Song Ratings: Week Ending April 8, 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. 

According to Billboard, BTS's 'Film Out' topped the digital song sales chart in the tracking week ending April 8, 2021; however, the song must've generated revenue less than $38.66K as its data was not included in this chart. Despite this, it was reported to have sold 19,000 downloads in the week according to MRC. Bruno Mars's 'Leave the Door Open' and Lil Nas X's 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)' ranked second and third on the week respectively, separated by only a few hundred sales (14,802 vs. 14,542). Masked Wolf's 'Astronaut in the Ocean' held its position this week and was relatively stable in sales, while Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' lost under 1,000. It its first week of availability, Olivia Rodrigo's new track 'Deja Vu' put up a solid ~7,400 while 'Drivers License' remained a staple on the list with just under 5,800. Other songs of note outside of the top 25 include: Mooski's 'Track Star' (1,562), Doja Cat's 'Streets' (1,513), Ariana Grande's '34+35' (1,071), and three tracks from Rod Wave: 'Street Runner' (1,034), 'Tombstone' (1,017), and 'Richer' (608). Note: this list only includes songs that had over $38.66K revenue for the week; a song with less than $38.66K in revenue could theoretically have more sales than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

Lil Nas X's 'Montero (CMBYN)' spends a second week atop the weekly song streaming chart garnering approximately 28.1 million U.S. streams in the tracking week. Notably, this was up nearly 4 million streams from last week's debut (24.2 million). Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' held in the second spot with 23.5 million streams, and Olivia Rodrigo debuted 'Deja Vu' with 17.2 million - a far cry from the 67 million that 'Drivers License' logged in its first week, but a solid debut nonetheless. The rest of the chart doesn't look too dissimilar from last week except for 'Leave the Door Open' and Lil TJay's 'Calling My Phone' both narrowly overtaking Cardi B's 'Up.' Of note below the top 25 is: Saweetie's 'Best Friend' (9,360,195), 24KGolden's 'Mood' (8,645,251), Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves' (8,107,513), Ariana Grande's '34+35' (7,660,638), The Kid Laroi's 'Without You' (7,245,237), and Gabby Barrett's 'The Good Ones' (6,777,409). Note: this list only includes songs that had over $38.66K revenue for the week; a song with less than $38.66K in revenue could theoretically have more streams than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

Billie Eilish's 'Therefore I Am' ranked atop the Pop Radio chart for the second consecutive week logging 14,655 plays in the tracking week ending April 10. It was not a very strong leader, down 771 plays from last week and ahead of second-ranked 'Drivers License' by just under 350 plays. Meanwhile, The Weeknd's 'Save Your Tears' now makes a play for the top of the chart, gaining 1059 plays, to 13,226 and one more solid week of gains coupled with declines for the two leaders could place the song at number one next week. Also making a play is Tate McRae's 'You Broke Me First' which remained in the fourth spot this week, up 402 plays to a new peak of 13,035. The top gainer of the week was Olivia Rodrigo's new set 'Deja Vu' which was up 3452 plays, followed by Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' which rose 2286. The only debut on the chart this week was  Doja Cat & SZA's 'Kiss Me More' which began at 1,472.
