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
