Unable to dislodge the juggernaut that is "Old Town Road," Swift's "Me!," featuring Urie (of Panic! at the Disco), rockets 100-2 on the Hot 100. To recap: the song, expected to serve as the lead single from Swift's seventh proper studio LP, debuted at the anchor spot a week earlier based solely on its first three days of airplay, after its release at midnight ET Friday (April 26). As the Hot 100's airplay tracking week runs Monday through Sunday while streaming and sales are tracked Friday through Thursday, the first-week streams and sales for "Me!" (April 26-May 2) impact this week's Hot 100 (dated May 11), along with the track's first full week of airplay (April 29-May 5).

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.

Flop considering all the investment in advertising and payola. Also, @taylornation was desperate on twitter asking fans to buy the song. Her team tried hard to get that #1.

You don't sell THAT much through just non existent payola and some tweets
