The run
Position by week; a gap is a spell off the chart.What it earned each artist
Record Power is the song's own figure. Power contributed is what it earned each artist's Career Power: a featured credit takes its reduced share, and a week where the artist had other songs charting is split between them.
| Artist | Credit | Credit share | Power contributed |
