SONG REVENUE CHART: COLE’S SIBLING SMASH

J. Cole hit the jackpot during a week when Americans were more focused on Super Bowl wagers and office pools than on listening to music. Which makes the $334k taken in by his “Middle Child” (Roc Nation/Interscope) that much more impressive.

Cole’s latest smash supplanted Ariana Grande’s “7 rings” as the top earner on our latest Song Revenue Chart, but the Republic pop diva kept it close, pulling in another $306k on the track, and a total of exactly $444,299 between “7 rings” and #9 “thank u, next.”

The freshly crushed numbers can be examined here.
