The track is on the prowl at No. 7. Plus, action from Calvin Harris & Kygo.
Selena Gomez and Marshmello scamper onto Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated Nov. 11) at No. 7 with “Wolves.” Released Oct. 25 (a day before the close of the streaming and sales tracking week), the song starts with 19,000 downloads sold and 3.8 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music. It bows at No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales and No. 13 on Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs.
On Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, the collaboration is the third top 10 for both artists. The track concurrently opens on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 88.
Marshmello also enters Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with “You & Me” at No. 19, selling 2,000 downloads and drawing 1.7 million domestic clicks.
In other Marshmello news, his song “Silence,” featuring Khalid, soars 11-4 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay. The track ties the peak of the masked DJ’s first hit on the chart, “Alone,” in September 2016. “Silence” is Marshmello’s third top 10 on the survey and Khalid’s second.
Two other acts also score new top 10s on Dance/Mix Show Airplay: Mono Mind blasts 13-2 with “Save Me a Place,” its first top 10, and Avicii advances 16-9 with “Without You,” Avicii’s ninth top 10 and featured act Sandro Cavazza‘s first.

Harris earns his 14th top 10 (while Kehlani and Yachty each achieve their first), extending his mark for the most of all acts since the chart’s January 2013 inception. With 9,000 sold (up 1,947 percent), 2.7 million streams (up 272 percent) and 8.4 million in all-format radio audience (up 81 percent), “Faking” boasts the chart’s top gains in all three metrics.
