The Weeknd & Ariana Grande 'Die For You' reaches #1 on The Hot 100

[Teletubby 114,629]

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Die for You” bounds from No. 6 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, after Grande joined for its remix. The song reigns after it was originally released on The Weeknd’s album Starboy in 2016, before it was revived in recent months thanks in part to interaction on TikTok, which helped spark new promotion to radio and streaming services.

The team-up marks each artist’s seventh Hot 100 No. 1 – and their second together, after “Save Your Tears” led in 2021, for two weeks, also after Grande was added on a remixed version.

”Die for You,", drew 81.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up less than 1%) and 32.4 million streams (up 181%) and sold 14,000 (up 1,170%) Feb. 24-March 2.

The song completes the second-longest trip to No. 1 on the Hot 100 in terms of time from a debut to scaling the summit – and the longest among non-holiday songs. Notably, The Weeknd and Grande claim two of the six longest such journeys.
Most Time to No. 1 on Hot 100, from Chart Debut:
• 19 years, 11 months, 2 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2000-19; originally released in 1994, the carol ultimately first led 25 years after its release)
• 6 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, “Die for You,” The Weeknd & Ariana Grande (2016-23)
• 5 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, “When I’m With You,” Sheriff (1983-89)
• 4 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, “Red Red Wine,” UB40 (1984-88)
• 1 year, 2 months, “Heat Waves,” Glass Animals (2021-22)
• 1 year, 1 month, “Save Your Tears,” The Weeknd & Ariana Grande (2020-21)

[Lippoutou 4,277]

That's what this album deserves tbh

When will Bloody Mary tho 

[ALGAYDO 26,128]

Die For You has always been one of my least-favorite songs from Starboy, I don’t understand how that cringe fest is so popular yet amazing songs like Rockin, Attention, Love to Lay, and Secrets got paid dust  hell I’ll even take 6 Feet Under over Die For You 

but anyway, we love seeing a male artist that actually puts effort into his artistry slaying the charts

Haven't heard it yet, not even the solo version. Is it better than their Save Your Tears?
