REVVING IT UP: TOP 50 MONEYMAKERS
Change occurs so gradually at the top of any streams-driven chart that it’s tempting to repeat what we wrote about the BuzzAngle-powered Song Revenue Chart last week—or the week before that. It’s hard to recall a time when Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee f/Justin Bieber's "Despacito" wasn’t #1, DJ Khaled wasn’t #2 or scrappy Epic wasn’t fighting over its weight—this week snagging 40% of the Top 10 real estate.
You know we’re in the doldrums when only one track—Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow”—moves into the Top 10, while only Cardi, Kesha’s “Praying” and RCA labelmate Khalid’s “Location” experience double-digit growth among the Top 30. What’s more, if you’re looking for a debut, you’ll have to scroll all the way down to #41 to find it—The Weeknd’s “Reminder.”
If you’re looking for excitement, keep an eye on Portugal. The Man's infectious "Feel It Still," which has a shot to become the first alternative-crossover hit in recent memory. It’s up three slots to #22 after debuting a week ago.
Marketshare splits: UMG 43%, SME 38%, WMG 17%, indies 3%.
