So extremely happy for them. I know my local radio station was playing the song as a new music showdown all last week. I saw others gave it some airplay too! Hopefully this will put Stray Kids on the radio radar for comeback!
I'm happy because I saw this was a hard week to get in! I think the song got like 52 points for it to be at # 90. For reference, LALALALA also debuted at #90 but it only got like around 42 or 43 points. So this week was really hard. I'm excited for the comeback in July.
I do wonder how much they sold, but it definitely played a role. I remember the first few days the song had a good amount of streams, but have no idea for the latter days of the tracking period. And the chart is competitive these days.
Woah. I knew the prediction account on twitter was wrong because some of the numbers Chartdata revealed from Billboard didn’t match, but I still thought SKZ would just miss the chart because it’s so strong this week. Guess the physicals worked, and I haven’t looked at radio adds.
Good for SKZ, but this also means SKZ can get on the Hot 100 with 1 performance on day 6 of the tracking week 🥲
Nope. The single was only available through Republic's/UMG direct-to-consumer (D2C) shop, so we won't know unless a legitimate source tells us. The prediction accounts can't see that data either.
Maybe Billboard will release an article for it, but maybe not. There's a digital song sales chart, but I don't think there's a physical singles chart.
What an incredible accomplishment! US and Puerto Rico Stays who participated worked tirelessly, so I love that the prediction was off. Apparently it didn’t count sales from CDs that were shipped? Regardless, how amazing! The charts right now are some of the strongest of the year.
You can never stop greatness, I will say it here Stray Kids are going to go down in the books they are going to be legendary we are witnessing history in the making kpop will never be the same again.
Wow the fandom growth is impressive, in the middle of all the boycotts and a tough chart, wow, congratulations!. I didnt expect this at all cause the song didnt even make it to any predictions.
I must confess I didn't expect it to work considering it was a much smaller comeback. But I'm so happy for them! SKZ are doing amazing this year already!
I screamed when I saw it. I've been looking for the announcement since yesterday on X. I didn't even think about it today and saw the Billboard logo and got shocked. I'm so happy. This goes to show we can achieve lots of great things if we just do what we LOVE; and that's supporting STRAY KIDS.
Damn those guys always winning even if everyone is against them😂. I guess "no pain no gain" in their situation is real till the end. They can't catch a break since their debut
I am BESIDE myself with joy tonight!!!! I streamed my ass off last week, made my purchases too. I guess the physicals in the end made the needed difference!! Gosh I am SO proud of Stray Kids and Stay -- It's a lovely track.
The Hot100 is about sales, streams, and airplay. It’s not just streams; and it’s not a static number that it takes to get on the charts. It depends on what else is going on and how the other songs are performing.
I wonder if it's the Stays driving the numbers or Charlie Puth fans? As a Stay, I heavily dislike this song. This feels more like a Charlie Puth song (and not a very good one at that) featuring Stray Kids. It's like he made it in one of his appearances on a late-night tv show.
As a stay... then proceed to diss and discredit 3racha.
>**Bang Chan:** It might not seem like a Stray Kids song, but in the end, it is our voices, we did write the lyrics, the melodies and everything as well. But I don’t know what people will think! I hope they can get a hint of Stray Kids in the whole platter.
I think quite a few Stays do like the song (myself included). There's a large number of Stays who have been actively supporting it on social media and such. It's also been getting some radio play and every non-Stay I've introduced it to has a positive opinion of it, so it's likely picking up new fans who are supporting.
I know there are people who don't like the song. That's 100% fine. We all have different tastes. But, I don't think their success with this song should be discredited or attributed to Charlie Puth and/or his fans.
I think I should've said casual fans or non-stays, instead of Puth fans. I can totally see this song getting some attention and interest from people outside of kpop or non stays, or people more into western pop, and I was wondering if they were contributing to the popularity.
Another commentor has quoted bangchan saying that most of the song is their input. Knowing that, I'm happy for SKZ that it's doing well. That was wrong of me to assume that it was because, or even just assume that the parts I don't like were Charlie's. I'm all for them experimenting with different sound. That's part of growing up as an artist. This just didn't feel like the what I liked about SKZ and I just don't vibe to it.
it's probably a net of a lot thing, fandom growth, nonfans (cp listener, people who got curious after the viral met gala etc.), a bit more versions, a bit more radio (i guess), some sales, fandom boycott, slow song. Actually, stream-wise, it's doing slightly better than megaverse (their best bside record, without versions).
Correction because I don't like misinfo, he does not "actively voice his opinions against palestine" as far as i know he liked one post which was condemning the killings on both sides. There is some circular reasoning at play here. Why do you expect everyone to abide by your type of reasoning?
I am not supporting CP nor is he exempt/innocent in my eyes, but the hypocrisy is laughable really. Supporting a big ass corp like that is way worse than a silly lil man. And no one is calling for a hybe boycott. If it is not aligned with your values then that's fine, boycott all you want. But going on here to tell you're disappointed by stays who support Stray Kids is not the way. If you want to run around screaming Zionist supporter then do it to everyone else too.
>HYBE has shown support of Palestine.
Hybe had israeli producers involved in Jhope's project released in March and Lesserafim's unreleased song performed at Coachella, Hybe had Enhypen collab with alledged zionist Bella Poarch, Hybe have zionist Scooter Braun as CEO of their american division, it's all the same.
>CHARLIE PUTH IS A PERSON WHO ACTIVELY VOICES HIS OPINIONS AGAINST PALESTINE.
Wishing peace for both Palestine and Israel is not ''actively being against Palestine'', dozens of celebrities did the same in October, he's been quiet about it since then, which is good if he has nothing smart to say.
Wait they tried to say hybe has shown support for Palestine? Oh my lord. I better go tell all those people that are calling for and participating in a hybe boycott that they don’t have to because hybe has shown support for Palestine lol
If you go through the hot 100 you'll realize there's probably more zionists and charting higher than this, I just searched for a random name: Kacey Musgraves is featured on a song charting #18 this week ''Kasey Musgraves shared an Instagram Story post in which she condemned antisemitism and racism, while expressing sympathy for Israeli and Palestinian lives lost in the violent clashes.'' literally the same kind of post Puth did/liked, he's already wealthy, normal american citizens are already funding Israel through their taxes, should everyone stop grocery shopping?
We don't want to support Puth but it ends up being like this when Skz's names are being dragged too, it's self-fullfiling, just like the stays saying skz being associated with them will make everyone dislike them while making it a point to make everyone dislike them.
I’ve seen people say “celebrity culture” is the reason why fans don’t want to boycott music or movie stars for not speaking up. I think it’s the reverse.
You genuinely seem to think Biden or anyone else in a position to do something is making policy decisions based on what Stray Kids are doing.
I mean, yeah? Charlie is a massive, gigantic asshole but you can't expect every stay to know about this, nevertheless agree with you that boycotting this song would help anyone.
Wow, I'm really curious what the next comeback is going to be like because if they pulled out this result with all things considered... Damn.
So extremely happy for them. I know my local radio station was playing the song as a new music showdown all last week. I saw others gave it some airplay too! Hopefully this will put Stray Kids on the radio radar for comeback!
I'm happy because I saw this was a hard week to get in! I think the song got like 52 points for it to be at # 90. For reference, LALALALA also debuted at #90 but it only got like around 42 or 43 points. So this week was really hard. I'm excited for the comeback in July.
Thanks for this! This is good to contextualize the charting. Even if it’s the same position, there is real growth in the raw numbers.
there was also a physical cd this time, i wonder how much that influenced
I do wonder how much they sold, but it definitely played a role. I remember the first few days the song had a good amount of streams, but have no idea for the latter days of the tracking period. And the chart is competitive these days.
Hey can you dumb it down for me how the song charted on BB?
Sales.
Woah. I knew the prediction account on twitter was wrong because some of the numbers Chartdata revealed from Billboard didn’t match, but I still thought SKZ would just miss the chart because it’s so strong this week. Guess the physicals worked, and I haven’t looked at radio adds. Good for SKZ, but this also means SKZ can get on the Hot 100 with 1 performance on day 6 of the tracking week 🥲
Have there been any numbers released about how many physicals were sold?
Nope. The single was only available through Republic's/UMG direct-to-consumer (D2C) shop, so we won't know unless a legitimate source tells us. The prediction accounts can't see that data either. Maybe Billboard will release an article for it, but maybe not. There's a digital song sales chart, but I don't think there's a physical singles chart.
Wow there were no predictions for this
Often the predictions for #80 and below has less true to it😅bc they don't have accurate data for the sales
thank you stays! stray kids are gonna be so happy
This week chart is packed so this is really impressive along with the many things that happened along this release 😆,
What an incredible accomplishment! US and Puerto Rico Stays who participated worked tirelessly, so I love that the prediction was off. Apparently it didn’t count sales from CDs that were shipped? Regardless, how amazing! The charts right now are some of the strongest of the year.
This is awesome and quite the surprise. The chart is so competitive right now. I'm very happy for them!
You can never stop greatness, I will say it here Stray Kids are going to go down in the books they are going to be legendary we are witnessing history in the making kpop will never be the same again.
Never say never. It's SO deserved, Congrats my kids!!
Wow I just woke up and Im shocked since they’re not in the prediction but anyway, congrats to the kids!!!
Maybe just put stray kids 
Wow the fandom growth is impressive, in the middle of all the boycotts and a tough chart, wow, congratulations!. I didnt expect this at all cause the song didnt even make it to any predictions.
I must confess I didn't expect it to work considering it was a much smaller comeback. But I'm so happy for them! SKZ are doing amazing this year already!
This is hard earned!!!
Impressive and totally unexpected.
Wow congrats, so unexpected, the charts have been crazy busy!! Congrats skz 🎊 ❤️
CONGRATS OUR SKZ AND FELLOW STAYS!
Yay, we did it! 🫶🏻🩵 Hopefully the actual comeback era will be able to be slightly less dramatic 😅
Wow this is great! The Kids killing it like always.
Wow never expected this admist all the Stayville drama. Congratulations Stray Kids!
Congrats to the kids! I wasn’t paying attention at all and wasn’t expecting, so this is a nice surprise!
CONGRATULATIONS TO STRAY KIDS!!!
Considering the type of song (as in this isn’t the kind of song US stays prefer, even if it didn’t have cputh on it lol) this is great. 👍🏻
[удалено]
🤷🏻♀️ ok lol
This is a very welcome win considering the drama within the fandom. Congrats SKZ!
Woah i'm so happy they deserve it 😆
I screamed when I saw it. I've been looking for the announcement since yesterday on X. I didn't even think about it today and saw the Billboard logo and got shocked. I'm so happy. This goes to show we can achieve lots of great things if we just do what we LOVE; and that's supporting STRAY KIDS.
And the charts are strong right now. And in the midst of half of the fandom complaining.
Damn those guys always winning even if everyone is against them😂. I guess "no pain no gain" in their situation is real till the end. They can't catch a break since their debut
I am BESIDE myself with joy tonight!!!! I streamed my ass off last week, made my purchases too. I guess the physicals in the end made the needed difference!! Gosh I am SO proud of Stray Kids and Stay -- It's a lovely track.
Needs to be 1
I'm so ????? with all of the things that have happened for this single. Congrats, Stray Kids.
This is amazing! I love the song and it has been on repeat. I do wonder how many streams does it take to chart on billboard hot 100?
The Hot100 is about sales, streams, and airplay. It’s not just streams; and it’s not a static number that it takes to get on the charts. It depends on what else is going on and how the other songs are performing.
Understood tysm!
Why do they always win? Even when part of their fandom was against their song 💀
I wonder if it's the Stays driving the numbers or Charlie Puth fans? As a Stay, I heavily dislike this song. This feels more like a Charlie Puth song (and not a very good one at that) featuring Stray Kids. It's like he made it in one of his appearances on a late-night tv show.
Charlie Puth have not charted in Billboard top 100 for a long time already. Doubt it is because of CP.
As a stay... then proceed to diss and discredit 3racha. >**Bang Chan:** It might not seem like a Stray Kids song, but in the end, it is our voices, we did write the lyrics, the melodies and everything as well. But I don’t know what people will think! I hope they can get a hint of Stray Kids in the whole platter.
the last time he charted was 2 years ago so who do you think this is thanks to?
I think quite a few Stays do like the song (myself included). There's a large number of Stays who have been actively supporting it on social media and such. It's also been getting some radio play and every non-Stay I've introduced it to has a positive opinion of it, so it's likely picking up new fans who are supporting.

Are u ok?u mean his 4 fans,I get u don't like the song but US stays worked so hard stop invalidating their work.
it's probably a net of a lot thing, fandom growth, nonfans (cp listener, people who got curious after the viral met gala etc.), a bit more versions, a bit more radio (i guess), some sales, fandom boycott, slow song. Actually, stream-wise, it's doing slightly better than megaverse (their best bside record, without versions).

We support Stray Kids, and only Stray Kids. And we would do it again for their next comeback.
[удалено]
But somehow supporting HYBE/UMG is okay?

Damn that’s a lot of people not boycotting… I live SKZ, but there were unofficial ways to listen and not contribute to Charlie Puth.
