Maroon 5 & Cardi B Vying to Dethrone Drake Atop Hot 100 Next Week

Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," featuring Cardi B, could claim the crown at last on next week's Billboard Hot 100 (dated Sept. 29), narrowly taking the top spot from Drake's "In My Feelings," which has led the list for the past 10 weeks.   

 

According to building Nielsen Music data, "Girls," which has ranked at its No. 2 Hot 100 high for six straight weeks, should sport over 120 million in radio audience (in the tracking week ending Sept. 23), along with over 25 million U.S. streams and 20,000 downloads sold (in the tracking week ending Sept. 20).   

"Feelings" could wrap the week with over 90 million in airplay reach, 38 million U.S. streams and 18,000 sold.   

 

Those trending totals place "Girls" slightly ahead of "Feelings" in the race for No. 1 on the Hot 100.
