Welcome to Matt's Weekly Countdown!
Ariana Grande blasts onto the chart with new lead single, "positions," debuting at #1. "Positions" comes just one week before the release of her sixth studio album of the same name. Grande earns her 13th overall #1 and extends her lead over LEON who notches eight #1 songs. Grande & LEON tie for the most number one songs in 2020 (three each). 2020 also ties with 2018 for most #1 debuts in one year (four each). "Positions" is also the only debut this week, which becomes the first time in countdown history that the only debut of a week is a #1 debut
The rest of the top five each moves down one spot from last week. Following the release of the music video, Machine Gun Kelly & Halsey's "forget me too" surges up four spots to #6; this becomes Kelly's highest peaking song of his career. BLACKPINK's "Pretty Savage" holds its peak of #7 for a second week. LEON drops two spots with "And It Breaks My Heart." Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" falls four spots to #9. Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande round out the top 10 with "Rain On Me" moving down two spots to #10.
Outside of the top ten, Machine Gun Kelly earns his third top 15 track with "body bag" rising 24-15. BLACKPINK earns new peaks for their songs "You Never Know" and "Crazy Over You" at #17 and #18 respectively. Machine Gun Kelly earns another top 20 with "bloody valentine" rising 31-20. John K also rises 33-23 this week with "happiness."
"XS" by Rina Sawayama leaves the chart this week at #40 after its 25 week run; this marks the end of her SAWAYAMA era on the countdown. Sawayama earned three top 10 hits, and charted nine out of 13 tracks from her debut album.
