Song Ratings: Week Ending May 27, 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. 

Olivia Rodrigo dominated the sales & streaming chart in the tracking week ending May 27th as her debut album 'Sour' placed 9 songs in the week's top 10 and all 11 tracks placed within the top 20. 'Good 4 U' rose one spot from last week to rank as the most consumed song with an astonishing 468.1K chart points. Those points were made up mostly from its 57.34 million U.S. streams, giving it the second-largest streaming week of the year behind only album-mate 'Drivers License' which logged 67.13 million streams in the tracking week ending January 14th. Ranking in second this week was the debut of BTS's new song 'Butter' (381.6K points) which scored the biggest pure sales week of the year (229,000 downloads), and performed solidly on streaming (19.03 million) though that streaming figure is decidedly less than every 'Sour' track except for 'Jealousy, Jealousy' (17.93 million) and 'Hope Ur OK' (16.04 million). Back to the top 10, Rodrigo's 'Deja Vu' soared 18-3 in the chart rankings week-to-week with 238.3K chart points coming mostly from 29.96 million streams - nearly doubling its performance the previous week (15.67 million). 'Drivers License' also had a sizable increase from last week, jumping 33-9 in the rankings and rising to 20.44 million streams (vs. 9.46 million) - its biggest streaming week since the w/e Feb. 11 (24.03 million). 'Traitor' was the highest debut of the week, starting at 4th (227.4K points) followed by 'Brutal' (197.6K), 'Enough for You' (177.5K), 'Happier' (175.9K), and 'Favorite Crime' (166.8K).

Justin Bieber's 'Peaches' is looking to be a dominant force on pop radio as it spends its third consecutive week atop the chart, up 331 plays from last week to 15,933. This comes as second-ranked 'Save Your Years' loses 761 plays week-to-week, providing 'Peaches' a comfortable margin for a couple more weeks at number one. 'Levitating' from Dua Lipa overtook The Kid Laroi's 'Without You' to rank third on the week with a modest gain of 709 plays (to 13,224). Ariana Grande's 'POV' held the fifth position despite a strong gain of +1112 and is easily within striking range of the top of the chart. Also on the Ariana front, 'Positions' fell out of the radio top 10 (ranked 11th) for the first time in 2021 and for the first since since the w/e November 14, 2020 (7,711/ranked 12th) while '34+35' retained the 15th spot. Olivia Rodrigo's 'Good 4 U' had the most-increased plays of the week, rising 2350 (to 3,465) and BTS's 'Butter' was just behind, up 2029 plays (to 5,178) - both songs now rank in the top 25 despite only being available since May 14th and May 21st respectively. Other top gainers this week were: Marshmello & The Jonas Brothers's 'Leave Before You Love Me' (up 1768 plays), Lil Nas X's 'MONTERO (CMBYN)' (+1607) which rose 13-8 in the rankings, and Doja Cat's 'Kiss Me More' (+1288) which rose 10-7.
