Song Ratings: Week Ending May 6, 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. 

On a fairly slow music sales week, Masked Wolf's 'Astronaut in the Ocean' finally reached the summit of the song sales chart, scoring 11,000 pure sales in the tracking week ending May 6th. The next two songs each rose one spot from last week with Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' up 3-2 with 9,600 and Bruno Mars's 'Leave the Door Open' rising 4-3 with 9,000. The Weeknd's 'Save Your Tears' tumbled the fourth position this week with 8,500 sales, down more than half from last week's stellar 18,000. Elsewhere on the chart, Doja Cat's 'Kiss Me More' was about even with last week (4,600), Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' dropped to 6,900 (from 8,400), and Lil Nas X's 'Montero (CMBYN)' fell to 2,900 (from 5,000). Of note below the top 25 was 24KGolden's 'Mood' (1,400), Lil TJay's 'Calling My Phone' (1,200), Drake's 'Wants and Needs' (800), and SZA's 'Good Days' (700). Note: this list only includes songs that had over $37.63K revenue for the week; a song with less than $37.63K in revenue could theoretically have more sales than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

'Rapstar' from Polo G holds the top spot on the U.S. music streaming chart for a fourth consecutive week with over 25.2 million streams in the tracking week ending May 6th. This was down from last week's 29.2 million as it slowly decreases down to normal levels. 'Kiss Me More' from Doja Cat and SZA roared to the second spot on the chart this week, up to 21.75 million streams from last week's already-solid 20.56 million. 'Montero (CMBYN)' held the third spot, but lost a few million streams (to 18.3 million from 20.7 million) while 'Levitating' ticked up to over 18 million from 17.7m. Bilie Eilish's 'Your Power' rounded out the top top 5 with 17.74 million streams and ranked just ahead of 'Save Your Tears' which dropped 2-6 this week with 17.1 million. Songs of note below the top 25 include: The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights' (8.748 million), Saweetie's 'Best Friend' (8.701m), DJ Khaled's 'Let it Go' (8.544m) & 'Sorry Not Sorry' (8.464m), Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers License' (8.375m), SZA's 'Good Days' (8.094m), Maroon 5's 'Beautiful Mistakes' (7.899m), and Gabby Barrett's 'The Good Ones' (7.523m). Note: this list only includes songs that had over $37.63K revenue for the week; a song with less than $37.63K in revenue could theoretically have more streams than the 25th ranked song on this list and it would not appear here.

'Save Your Tears' has now spent four consecutive weeks atop the pop radio chart, logging 15,268 plays in the tracking week ending May 8th. This was down 411 plays from last week, but second-ranked 'Peaches' was up 1416 plays (to 14,762) and will likely overtake 'Tears' atop the chart next week. Both tracks were miles ahead of 'My Ex's Best Friend' which had 11,854 plays to take the third position. 'Drivers License' from Olivia Rodrigo fell 4-7, losing 1678 plays week-to-week while 'Deja Vu' seems to have stabilized, rising only 197 plays to rank 18th. Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' re-entered the chart this week at #7 up 1607 plays to 10,021, putting it just behind Ariana Grande's 'Positions' (10,059). Two other Ariana Grande songs - '34+35' and 'POV' were also in the top 10 with the latter up nearly 1400 plays to rank 10th on the week. Billie Eilish had the week's most-increased plays with 'Your Power' jumping 1864 to 3,299 to rank 24th.
