Billboard staffers break down the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 post-Grammy, how each artist in the top 10 won big and had hot performances at the show. They also breakdown Harry Styles’ return to the chart, and who could land No. 1 in the coming months, with album releases from Bruno Mars, Noah Kahan and more. Special guest Timbaland explains his new song for Babybel, shows love to Leon Thomas, and shares how much he loves FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Tetris Kelly: Harry Styles is back, but can he dethrone Bruno Mars? Welcome to our Grammy edition of the Hot 100 Show. And look who I have with me from New York. Hey, Delisa.
Delisa Shannon: Hello, Tetris. It’s so good to see you.
Tetris Kelly: Good to see you here. And hi, guys. Look who I got.
Trevor Anderson: I was gonna say, Delisa, you switching sides out here? What’s going on?
Delisa Shannon: Hey, booboo. I’m excited to be in L.A. Look, I have sun. I don’t know what y’all got.
Xander Zellner: You know — we got snowy.
Tetris Kelly: Well, listen, the weather is crazy, but we do got a chart to talk about. So let’s get to 10 through eight. This is the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 for the week, dated Feb. 7. “Opalite” is still at 10, “Folded” slips to nine, as does sombr to No. 8. And look at that, “Opalite,” your favorite song, coming in at No. 10. And then we got two of our Grammy darlings in here. So how you guys feeling about the charts so far?
Trevor Anderson: Of those three things? I mean, obviously Grammys, like you said, “Folded” big winner last night, taking home two awards, best R&B song, best R&B performance. So those are Kehlani’s first two Grammy Awards. She mentioned she was nominated for the first time about a decade ago. So kind of, as we’ve been talking with folding all the charts, it’s been this story of, you know, where she started, 2016 it took her until this moment to really get that big, major breakthrough, undeniable, first top 10. Same thing with the Grammy love. So it just is one of those things where it’s all coming around. The full testament, clearly, people still loving the song. We’ll see. You know, if the Grammy wins, I know they’re on the pre-telecast, but social media love maybe, if that’ll kind of help the song get a couple, you know, points next week. But I mean, shout-out to Kehlani in there, in particular, for bringing home those first two.
Tetris Kelly: Yeah. I mean, obviously super happy with Kehlani, but sombr has, like, super grown on me. I knew he was your guy, Trevor, but like seeing him this week, watching him perform. His outfits, his fashion, that guy has it.
Keep watching for more!
