So apparently due to the late release of the song, it debuted at position 100 this week on Billboard. Correct me if I am wrong, but no song has ever debuted at 100 one week and been #1 the next week, correct?
If memory serves me right the biggest jump is 97 to 1 by Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You and that was 2009.... If anyone doubts this will be our new #1 song next week, it already smashed the record for most watched youtube video with over 65.2 million views. https://ew.com/music/2019/04/29/taylor-swift-me-music-video-youtube-record/ - https://ew.com/music/2019/04/29/taylor-swift-me-music-video- youtube-record/ |

I believe the song was featured in the NFL Draft coverage.
Debuted at #19 Mediabase CHR. No spins last week, 5374 spins this week. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

Yes, Kelly Clarkson's song still holds the record. BTW, I'm not 100% certain that "ME!" will hit #1 next week as "Old Town Road" still has some very impressive numbers. |

Actually it debuted at #24 on the Mediabase Top 40 published charts(ended Saturday 4/27/19). As of 3:11 this afternoon it was #16. Still impressive. |

Looks like "Old Town Road" still has the better numbers. Looks like Taylor might have to settle for a #2 peak. |

| Still, to go from #100 to #2 is impressive. |

Strange that the song has gone 100 - 2 - 3 - 8. For anyone else, that's fine. But for a first single from an upcoming album, you'd think for sure it would be #1 by its second week ... or at least ANY week. At this point, it's really losing momentum. Whereas "Look What You Made Me Do" was a dark departure and disliked by quite a few pop & Taylor fans, this one is pure pop - plus featuring Brendan Urie coming off the hugely successful "High Hopes". I don't get that it didn't become the most popular song. That said, they performed the song on the finale of "The Voice", a highly viewed show, and I'm hoping it generates enough sales (and more importantly, generates significantly more streaming) to turn around and reach #1 in the next week or two.
BTW, does anyone know the current split for Hot 100 songs in terms of Radio vs. Digital Sales vs. Streaming? |

"Old Town Road" has held a grip on #1 for a long while now
and that, most likely, kept "Me" out of the top spot. I think the new Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber song may have enough early steam to unseat "Old Town Road." It's funny, last month I did a teen event and received a lukewarm, at best, response to Taylor Swift. When I played "Old Town Road" they went crazy. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

"Old Town Road" just has the better numbers, week in and
week out. The streaming numbers have been huge. |

Its the remix that has propelled it week after week. Heard it on the radio here with the Billy Ray Cyrus version. Plus its not even 3 minutes so its a quick play, and radio loves that.
It won't be long before Justin and Ed have the top spot. Whether they sing together or Ed is the composer of the song that combo appears destined for #1 just like Sorry. At least until the next single vaults up the chart to great fanfare! |
