A year before his new standalone single arrived, Rodrigo released Disney + ‘s “All I Want” High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, in which she starred. The song hurt the United States’ Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, reaching No. 90 in January 2020; comparatively, and as in the global charts, “Driver’s License” topped the Hot 100 in its first two frames.
Now, with the “Driver’s License” momentum, “All I Want” is enjoying a resurgence, most evident in the global rankings. “All I Want” rises to 119 in its second week at Global 200 and debuts at Global Excl. US chart at No. 148. In the week ending January 21, it gained 7% to 13.3 million flows globally and 27% to 8.3 million outside the US
“Driver’s license” also gained in global flows in its second week: 7% increase overall and 47% increase outside the US
It is especially noteworthy that both of Rodrigo’s tracks won on global streams in the second week of “Driver’s License” availability. Generally, songs with releases as grand as “Driver’s License” decrease in volume in the second weeks, after the immediate emotion difficult to match in their debut pictures.
In the United States, for example, the driver’s license dropped from 76.1 million in its first week (ending on January 14) to a still robust 59.7 million (January 21). Likewise, “All I Want” fell from 6 million to 5.1 million domestically. (Still, “Driving License” is generating “All I Want” in the US: before those two weeks, “All I Want” attracted 1.4 million in the week ending January 7.)
How can we explain the disparity that both “Driver’s License” and “All I Want” fell on the United States’ broadcasts in the second week of the last one, but grew beyond the United States? It is likely that, as an artist residing in the United States supported by a training focused on Disney, Rodrigo’s profile is allowing for firmer discoveries globally, while the rest of the world catches up with America’s busiest music export.
