Cam”; however, a new

At No. 36 on Streaming

“Eastside,” a collaboration
among Benny Blanco,
Halsey and Khalid.
The track starts with
10.8 million streams, up
23 percent from its first-
week sum of 8.8 million,
thanks to increases in
streams across multiple on-

“Eastside” is longtime
producer-writer Blanco’s
first release as a billed artist.
In addition to its Streaming

jumps 56-52 in its second
week on the Billboard
Hot 100 and starts at
No. 40 on the Mainstream
