SONG REVENUE CHART: CELESTIAL JUKEBOX RECEIPTS

This week's Song Revenue Chart finds Eardruma/Interscope's Rae Sremmurd holding the #1 spot with "Black Beatles," with just over a quarter-mil in earnings, almost equally split between sales and streams.

XO/Republic's The Weeknd, whose streaming numbers will make your head spin, remains at #2 with "Starboy," and debuts at #7 and #11 with "party Monster" and "I Feel It Coming," respectively. His labelmate Aminé slides up #13-9 (+18%)with "Caroline."

Bruno Mars moves up to #3 (+65%) with "24k Magic" (WMG), driven more by sales than streams

Columbia's John Mayer bows at #17 with "Love on the Weekend." Westbury Road/Roc Nation's Rihanna flies #49-29 (+30%) with "Love on the Brain." Putting love on things is profitable, it seems.

Marketshare breaks down thusly: UMG 55%, Sony 25%, WMG 18%. Check the whole megillah here.
