Steady at #2 in Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U.” Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” and Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” are at #3 and #4 and Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” shot back up to #5 after a few weeks in the lower half of the top 10. The song notched 29.1 million radio airplay impressions, 10.8 million US streams, and sold 108,800 copies in the past week. Over on the Hot 100 this week, BTS’ “Butter” is #1 for the seventh week in a row. As mentioned, Tyler is at #6 and the rest of the top 10 is rounded out with Polo G, Dua Lipa, Migos, and Moneybagg Yo. At #5 is the sole debut in the top 10 this week with G Herbo’s 25 at 46,000 units. Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice Of The Heroes is #3 and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album is #4.
Last week’s chart-topper, Tyler The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost, dropped to #6, but Doja Cat’s Planet Her maintained its #2 spot with 68,000 units. This week, Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album Sour is back at #1 on the Billboard 200 for a third nonconsecutive week at the top, notching 88,000 equivalent album units. Over on the Hot 100, BTS’ “Butter” spent a sixth straight week at #1, while Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” debuted at #5, becoming his eighth top-10 hit. But the Billboard charts did not take a week off! The big news was that Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost debuted at #1 with 169,000 equivalent album units and 55,000 in sales (his second straight #1 album following IGOR) and Doja Cat’s Planet Her entered at #2 with 109,000 units and 10,000 in sales (her best chart position yet, improving upon Hot Pink‘s #9 peak). Last week, this column took a week off for the July 4 holiday. So I’m going to do my best impression of my colleague Tom Breihan’s Number Ones column in an attempt to explain what has transpired here. It’s a very strange story, and my appreciation for it is inversely proportional to my hopes of ever hearing Måneskin’s godawful rendition of “Beggin'” ever again. So, how did an Italian rock band’s unlistenable cover of a 1967 Four Seasons hit, released on an EP in 2017, become the biggest song in the world on Spotify in the summer of 2021? It has to do with TikTok, of course, but also the Eurovision song contest, and I guess the perversity of fate. Before you declare this a victory for rock, consider that Måneskin’s “Beggin'” cover is just atrociously, offensively bad - a jittery, feral scat attack that I refuse people are listening to for non-ironic reasons.
Im beggin beggin you cracked#
It even cracked Billboard‘s Hot 100, becoming the first Måneskin song to do so, almost entirely on the strength of streaming. For the past week, their version of the Four Seasons’ “Beggin'” - a cover Måneskin released four years ago - has been #1 on the global Spotify chart and a mainstay of the US top 10. Måneskin, a darkly glammed-out and transcendently trashy hard rock quartet from Rome, have been ruling the internet this summer.
