The single is doing well in the US, it definitely has had a decent hold. Four weeks in the top 3 so far. And very impressed with it's performance in the UK.

Now they should focus on 'Positions' (single) & '34 + 35'. After Christmas/New Year, they should focus on 'POV', maybe with a Grammy Awards performance (Promo is the only good thing on that platform, since recognizing excelence in music is no longer their goal)

BTS' 'Life Goes On' Launches as Historic No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
By Gary Trust
11/30/2020

Ariana Grande's "Positions" slips 3-4 on the Hot 100, after it led the Nov. 7-dated chart upon its debut. It charges 14-9 on Radio Songs (47.9 million, up 27%), where it becomes her 14th top 10; dating to her first week in the tier (June 7, 2014), with "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, she ties Bieber for the most top 10s in that span.

Positions single is doing really well in the US to still be at 4 on its fifth week. A good hold there. And possibly a 6th week at 1 in the UK which is really amazing.

I definitely didn't expect it to do so well and thought it would be more frontloaded. Now imagine what the next single (You think 'POV' is the big hit on the album, don't you?) will do!

Well who knows really. When I was calling for POV to be released it was on the back of the audience seeming to prefer it over 34+35. I hadn't expected Positions ( single) to have this sort of hold. We don't even know if POV is going to be a single yet. They shot a video for 34+35 and it was sent to radio so it is an official single.Although it has already hit top 10 in both US and UK without the video. POV is just an album track for now.

[theMathematician]

I think top 20 for single No. 2/3 with at least some longevity on the charts is already totally fine, but then again, we all know that the previous era produced three top 10 hits (In the US, they peaked at No. 1, 1 and 2 respectively.), so who knows where this era will lead to in the end.
