Ariana Grande’s “7 rings” (Republic) jumped J. Cole’s “Middle Child” (Roc Nation/Interscope) as the top earner of the week leading up to the Grammys. Although the two hits generated less dough than the previous week, both exceeded $200k. Occupying the #3 and 4 slots on our Song Revenue Chart is Post Malone, giving Republic three of the Top 5, which is rounded out by Capitol’s Halsey. Just below her “Without Me” is the week’s best-selling debut, Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend,” which made it another gratifying week for Interscope as well.
