“Pop” hops largely due to its strong showing in the streaming sector. It climbs 8% in weekly U.S. streams to 25.9 million in the week ending June 6, according to Nielsen Music, which pushes the collaboration 7-6 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart and 9-7 on the all-genre Streaming Songs list. The song’s streaming growth also nabs it the week’s Greatest Gainer honor on both surveys.
In addition, “Pop” reaches a new peak on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales as it moves 18-17 with a 2% rise to 3000 downloads logged in the week ending June 6.
