I’m interested in why the most common placement of singles is different in albums with different numbers of streams. Is it just some fluke that lesser streamed albums more often have a single in the track three slot but for bigger albums it’s track six? That seems odd.

Moving’ On Up is a great song and,as part of the soundtrack to my teens, comes with a big dose of nostalgia, so of course it’s my favourite. Genuinely surprised by how much I liked the Remi Wolf track though.

Re: single placement ... ultimately I don’t know for sure. But I think I’m recent years superstars usually put out longer albums because more tracks = more streams = more money. So the lead singer could be further down the record. If you’re a small artist, probably shorter records cause it’s hard to hold someone’s attention. So single more likely to be earlier in the album. Just speculating
