All those tricks and that payola for nothing. Poor Taylor  Even if I like her, she deserved the 2 this time

Will Sweet but Psycho ever go top 10?

It's probably #11 right now

[VoldeLorde2 8,389]

If Taylor’s lead wasn’t so childish, it probably would’ve went #1. I’m nervous for the album

[ViviLittleM 3]

can't imagine where Gaga would land with a song released this month

[highlikegaga 8,302]

let's hope that JB/Ed collab flops and OTR loses 400+ points, so if LG6 Lead do come this month it can reach the #1

With all metrics combined, "Me!," which Swift and Urie performed live for the first time to kick off the 2019 Billboard Music Awards last Wednesday (May 1), makes notable moves on the Hot 100 and other charts.

Biggest jump in Hot 100 history: The 98-spot leap for "Me!" is the biggest in the Hot 100's 60-year history, besting the prior mark by two positions. Here's a look at the biggest jumps ever:

Position Increase, Title, Artist, Date
98 (100-2), "Me!," Taylor Swift feat. Brendon Urie, May 11, 2019
96 (97-1), "My Life Would Suck Without You," Kelly Clarkson, Feb. 7, 2009
95 (96-1), "Womanizer," Britney Spears, Oct. 25, 2008
91 (94-3), "Beautiful Liar," Beyonce & Shakira, April 7, 2007
90 (94-4), "Girls Like You," Maroon 5 feat. Cardi B, June 16, 2018
88 (97-9), "Make Me Proud," Drake feat. Nicki Minaj, Nov. 5, 2011
88 (95-7), "Smack That," Akon feat. Eminem, Oct. 14, 2006
85 (96-11), "Cowboy Casanova," Carrie Underwood, Oct. 10, 2009
85 (100-15), "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)," A R Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls feat. Nicole Scherzinger, March 14, 2009
83 (85-2), "Roar," Katy Perry, Aug. 31, 2013

In making its record Hot 100 surge, "Me!" passes the last two songs on the above list for both the biggest jump from No. 100 and to No. 2, respectively.

Swift's 23rd top 10: Swift scores her 23rd Hot 100 top 10, tying for the 12th-best total in the Hot 100's archives. Whitney Houston, Paul McCartney (solo and with Wings) and The Rolling Stones have also tallied 23. (Madonna leads with 38 top 10s, followed by The Beatles with 34 and Drake with 33.)

"Me!" also marks Swift's 57th top 40 Hot 100 hit, matching Elton John for fourth place, after Drake (95), Lil Wayne and Elvis Presley (81 each, with Presley's chart career having predated the Hot 100's 1958 inception).

Urie's highest: After Panic! at the Disco notched its highest-charting Hot 100 hit with "High Hopes," which reached No. 4 in January, frontman Urie does two spots better. Prior to "Me!," he charted one other solo entry, also this year: Benny Blanco and Juice WRLD's "Roses," featuring Urie, peaked at No. 85 in February.

Swift's record-extending 16th sales No. 1: "Me!" launches as Swift's record-padding 16th Digital Song Sales No. 1 with 193,000 first-week downloads sold. (Rihanna ranks second with 14 leaders.) The sum is the best since Swift's own "Look What You Made Me Do" sold 353,000 in its first week (Sept. 16, 2017).

Streaming & airplay: "Me!" opens at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 50.7 million U.S. streams. (To compare, Swift's "Look" opened with 84.5 million, then a weekly record among women.)

Following its first full week of airplay tracking, "Me!" flies 27-13 on Radio Songs (54.1 million in audience, up from 36.9 million in its first three days).

That's a lot of non-recording-breaking facts for a song that didn't even hit number one

[LaLa 19,514]

I don't like Me!, but it would have been very satisfying to see a 100-1 jump. Poor Taylor

[BenG 19,908]

Can't wait for next week's prediction for ME!

[Ally Campana 15,284]

This is so funny to me

ATRL must be having a field trip

[S0436 10,215]

That billboard article couldn’t kiss her ass any more.  Was that billboard writer the final payola check of the ME! campaign?

Someone should ask which song had the most weeks on the Digital Songs top 10

As predicted, that 100 placement was intentional just so that they can write an huge article about it. 

Swifties are currently celebrating like “we didn’t get number one, but we got the biggest jump in history.” 

All of this seems so manipulated

If the gp doesn't give a crap about the most awarded song of all time wait til they hear about the biggest jump in the hot 100. They'll love that.
