RS Charts: Post Malone Takes 9 of the Top Ten Songs


Post Malone dominated the RS 100 this week thanks to the release of his new album Hollywoods Bleeding. Songs off the album accounted for nine of the Top Ten and 14 of the Top 20, with the leader being Circles, in its second week at Number One. Malones chart onslaught was driven by a deluge of streams. The only artist that wasnt swept out of the Top Ten was Malones labelmate, the rising rapper Lil Tecca, whose Ransom held on at Number Nine.

Aside from Circles, Malones best-performing tracks were Take What You Want, which made headlines thanks to the unusual combination of guest vocalists (Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott), the new albums title track, which is the first song on the set, and Enemies, which includes a verse from the red-hot rapper Dababy. Saint-Tropez, perhaps the most conventional radio-ready track on Hollywoods Bleeding, was also well received, debuting at Number Five.

The Rolling Stone Top 100 chart tracks the most popular songs of the week in the United States. Songs are ranked by song units, a number that combines audio streams and song sales using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening like terrestrial radio or digital radio. The Rolling Stone Top 100 chart is updated daily, and each week Rolling Stone finalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.

Only one other artist enjoyed multiple debuts on the RS 100 this week: Camila Cabello. Liar, a jaunty, ska-flecked single arrived at Number 49, while the arena-rock track Shameless reached Number 54. Both singles were produced by Andrew Watt in conjunction with The Monsters & Strangerz.
