Song Ratings: Week Ending May 20, 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 and streaming consumption (using Rolling Stone points methodology), the top 40 songs of the week based on U.S. pop radio airplay according to Nielsen, and an additional radio chart with the top 50 songs of the week according to Mediabase. 

Despite topping the Billboard Hot 100, Olivia Rodrigo's new single 'Good 4 U' ranked a very close second on the Rolling Stone song chart for the tracking week ending May 20. The track had 288.6 chart points with 12,100 sales and 34.88 million streams, edged out by J. Cole's 'M Y . L I F E' which logged 294.7 chart points from 2,900 sales & 38.05 million streams to rank atop the chart. Cole actually dominated the chart this week with eight entries from his new album 'The Off-Season' in the top 10. 'A M A R I' debuted in third (264.8 points) followed by 'P R I D E . I S . T H E . D E V I L' (255.0), '9 5 . S O U T H' (244.4), 'A P P L Y I N G . P R E S S U R E' (195.8), '1 0 0 . M I L' (185.6), AND 'I N T E R L U D E' (178.5) which fell 1-8 from last week's debut. Aside from Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj was the only other artist to place a song in the top 10 as 'Seeing Green' began with 176.3 points from 33,400 sales and 18.79 million streams.

Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' spends a second week atop the pop radio chart with 15,532 plays in the tracking week ending May 22. This was a moderate rise of 358 plays from last week, but it widened the gap between second-ranked 'Save Your Tears' which lost 726 plays to 14,049. Both 'Without You' from The Kid Laroi (3rd) and 'Levitating' from Dua Lipa (4th) held their positions from last week, gaining 852 & 916 plays respectively, but Ariana Grande's 'POV' jumped 7-5 with a 1264 gain - the second-best of the week. Lil Nas X had the week's best gainer as 'MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)' rose 1854 plays to 7,647 and was up 18-13 in the rankings. '34+35' was the only song to fall out of the top 10 this week, falling 9-15 and dropping 1312 plays, but it was replaced by Doja Cat's 'Kiss Me More' which ticked up 872 plays to rank 10th. Four songs debuted in the chart this week with BTS's 'Butter' making the biggest impact at 26th (3143 plays), followed by Olivia Rodrigo's 'Good 4 U' in 33rd (1115) which rose from just 94 plays last week.
