Ariana Grande “Positions” Herself at No. 1 | Scanning the Charts

Scanning the Charts – Billboard 200 & Billboard Hot 100 (11/7/20): Ariana Grande debuts at no. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Positions.”

SSCANNING THE CHARTS is just what it says it is.  I, the quirky founder and do-it-all at The Musical Hype scans through the Billboard Charts and picks out things that catch my eye.  To reiterate what I said last week (Taylor Swift No. 1 for an 8^th Week), this column won’t be extensive, but rather short and sweet, keeping that moving.  This week, I picked out FIVE notable observations from the Billboard 200, and FIVE observations from the Billboard Hot 100, with Ariana Grande debuting at no. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Positions”.

Billboard 200 

Luke Combs returns to no. 1 with the release of the deluxe edition of his 2019 album,   What You See is What You Get.  What You See… ascends from no. 21 to no. 1 in its 51^st week on the Billboard 200.

  Bruce Springsteen launches at no. 2 with his latest studio album, Letter to You.

Ty Dolla $ign earns his first top-10 album with Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, which debuts at no. 4. 

Outside of the top 10, Gorillaz debuts at no. 12 with Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez.

The next closest debuts beyond Gorillaz’s Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez, arrive courtesy of Joe Bonamassa ( Royal Tea, No. 41) and Joyner Lucas ( Evolution, No. 49).

Billboard Hot 100 

Ariana Grande debuts at no. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Positions”, the promo single from her sixth studio album, Positions.

Luke Combs, like Ariana Grande, has his own success to tout on the Billboard Hot 100. “Forever After All” from the deluxe edition of What You See is What You Get, launches at no. 2 on the Hot 100.

Following two consecutive weeks at no. 1, 24kGoldn and Iann Dior see “Mood” slip to no. 3.

Could Jack Harlow have another hit on his hands? Perhaps! His ballin’ banger, “Tyler Herro”, launches at no. 34.

H.E.R. debuts at no. 70 with her terrific single, “Damage”.
