RS Charts: Post Malones Circles Debuts at Number One


Post Malones Circles dethroned Lizzos Truth Hurts and debuted at the top of the RS 100 this week. The single, which Malone co-produced with Frank Dukes and longtime collaborator Louis Bell, earned more than 23 million streams and more than 29,000 downloads.

The Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs 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.

In addition to Post Malone, two other artists shined on the latest RS 100. Lil Tecca, Malones labelmate on Republic Records, debuted five new songs on the singles chart. The most popular was Shots, which arrived at Number 39 thanks to 8.1 million streams. Love Me, Out of Luck, Amigo, and Left, Right also cracked the RS 100, while Lil Teccas breakout hit, Ransom, remains in the Top Ten.

Lana Del Rey also launched multiple songs on to this weeks RS 100. The title track of her new album Norman Fucking Rockwell debuted at Number 62. It was followed closely by Doin Time at Number 64, while Fuck It I Love You arrived at Number 96.

Next week, its likely that Circles will have a lot of company on the RS 100: As soon as Post Malone released his new album Hollywoods Bleeding on Friday, every song on it appeared near the top of the streaming charts.
