Ariana Grande’s week was as lucrative as it was triumphant. The Republic next-gen diva’s latest offering, “7 Rings,” is the top earner by a mile, raking in $473k and change in its first appearance on our Song Revenue Chart, while “thank you, next” generates another $121k, good for #8. That puts Ariana’s seven-day tally at a whopping $595,083. All that gives her a boatload of momentum heading into the 2/8 release of her thank you, next album.
Freebandz/Epic’s Future lands 11 tracks from the chart-topping The Wizrd in the Top 50, while J. Cole’s new “Middle Child” (Roc Nation/Interscope) debuts at #8.
The remaining eight songs on the revenue leaderboard are holdovers from the previous week. Post Malone’s two entries--#2 “Sunflower” and #4 “Wow.,” give Republic 40% of the Top 10 real estate.
