Five of the seven songs on Mediabase's Big Picture Chart with 100m+ in audience belong to Republic Records, and that number is due to jump to six once Island’s Shawn Mendes (whose records are of course worked by the Republic promo squad) reaches that heavy benchmark. So who are the Republic Five? Hint: There’s really only four acts.
#2 Post Malone, “Psycho” 128.3 million
#4 Drake, “Nice For What” 114.9 million
#5 Drake, “God’s Plan” 107.8 million
#6 Ariana Grande, “No Tears…” 103.2 million
#7 Taylor Swift, “Delicate” 101.1 million
The other two in the current group of seven club members are Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey’s “The Middle” (Interscope) and Camila Cabello’s “Never Be the Same” (SYCO/Epic).
