Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” tops the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 15), returning for a fourth week at No. 1 following the Nov. 30 arrival of its retro-2000s-themed official video.

The song reigns in large part due to its 93.8 million U.S. streams in the week ending Dec. 6, according to Nielsen Music, the biggest weekly total ever for a song by a female artist.

It passes the 84.5 million that Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” logged in its first week (as reflected on charts dated Sept. 16, 2017).
