Top Tensday - Billboard Hot 100 Review: May 9, 2020

Finally, some actual movement in the Top 10! This comes from a number of releases and goings-on in the weeks prior, most notably a Fortnite concert to secure "THE SCOTTS"' place at #1, and a Beyonce remix letting "Savage" rise all the way to #4, something I did not see coming. It sure puts Megan into contention for that #1 spot in the future, which would be a great thing. Honestly, it's just nice to have legitimate competition for that #1 spot now. And as more mainstays fall out, that competition could get even fiercer. Let's talk about that!

Predictions:

As I said, lots of competition for that #1 spot, between Megan, Drake with his new release, and The Weeknd still holding strong. One song that probably won't be in this conversation is "THE SCOTTS", but I'd argue it still has enough residual streaming to at least stay in the Top 10 next week, if not Top 5. Lots of people are gunning for "Savage" to take that #1, but I'll be different and say "Blinding Lights" will still hold on to it, at least for next week.

In non-#1 news, it looks like DaBaby's "Rockstar" has caught on from his new album, so much so that it might re-enter the Top 10 as the album bomb gains have already worn off. This, along with possible Drake entries, will probably spell the end for songs like "Adore You" which are fading out naturally.
