Spotify is reporting that Me! is resting at #3 on both the US and Global Top 50 under Old Town Road and Billie Eilish.

And losing 60000 streams every day while Billie and OTR are gaining.

She is #3 in the UK charts as of today.
Beaten by Vossi Bop and Old Town Road.

She is also losing sales in the U.K. so she is expected to tank next week.

You're also forgetting that she released the ME! Billboard Awards Rehearsal audio for sale on her site on vinyl/cd/mp3 to boost sales. She's never done a tactic like that before. She's never even released acoustic versions to boost sales so for her to go that far is telling. I believe this version of ME! is not on streaming.
