Ariana Grande remains one of the biggest forces in pop music, but “Hate That I Made You Love Me” moves in the wrong direction on this week’s CLE Radio Power 40.
For the week of August 8, 2026, Grande’s hit finishes at No. 4, falling one position from No. 3 last week.
The song earns 183 Power 40 points after ranking No. 10 on Billboard Radio Songs and No. 9 on Streaming Songs in the data used to calculate this week’s Power 40.
It is not a new entry. More importantly, its strong performance across both radio and streaming suggests that dropping one spot is hardly a sign that the song is disappearing.
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” Falls One Spot
Here is where the song stands this week:
This week: No. 4
Last week: No. 3
Movement: ▼ 1
Power 40 points: 183
Billboard Radio Songs: No. 10
Billboard Streaming Songs: No. 9
Those numbers make “Hate That I Made You Love Me” one of the most balanced songs in this week’s Top 10.
It is simultaneously a Top 10 radio and Top 10 streaming record.
That matters because the CLE Radio Power 40 combines both forms of music consumption. A song with strong numbers in both categories is less vulnerable to sudden movement caused by declining streams or weakening airplay.
Grande has both working in her favor.
The Song Gave Ariana Grande Her 10th No. 1
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” was released on May 29, 2026, launching the campaign for Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal. Grande co-wrote and co-produced the track with longtime collaborators Max Martin and ILYA.
Its arrival was enormous.
The song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Grande’s milestone 10th career No. 1 on the chart. Its opening week included 23.6 million streams, 18.9 million radio audience impressions and 70,000 sales, according to reporting on Billboard’s chart results.
That achievement placed Grande in rare company.
Forbes reported that the debut also tied a record associated with Taylor Swift for the most songs to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100.
The success wasn’t limited to America.
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” also became Grande’s eighth No. 1 single in the United Kingdom, according to the Official Charts Company.
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” Went Global
The song continued producing major numbers after its explosive debut.
In July, it returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, giving the single a second week at the summit. That tied “Positions” and “Yes, And?” as Grande’s longest-running Global 200 leaders at the time.
That international strength helps explain why the record remains so competitive more than two months after release.
The initial excitement surrounding a new Ariana Grande single has passed. What remains is a song still receiving significant radio exposure while listeners continue streaming it at a high level.
That’s exactly the combination necessary for Power 40 longevity.
The Song Introduced the “Petal” Era
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” also carried the responsibility of introducing Grande’s next musical chapter.
The track was the first single from Petal, Grande’s eighth studio album. Billboard Brasil reported that the album was scheduled for release on July 31, with “Hate That I Made You Love Me” serving as its opening statement to listeners.
Grande described the song before its release as one of her favorite songs she had written.
Its success ensured that the Petal era began with enormous expectations.
A No. 1 Hot 100 debut, a UK No. 1 and worldwide chart success established the single as much more than an album promotional track.
It became another major entry in Grande’s hit catalog.
Ariana Grande Just Finished the North American Leg of Her Tour
Grande’s biggest recent news involves her return to touring—and what she plans to do when the tour ends.
On August 6, Grande completed the North American portion of her tour with the final performance of a three-night run at Chicago’s United Center. Her brother Frankie Grande publicly celebrated the performance and praised the conclusion of the North American leg.
The tour is scheduled to conclude in London on September 1. After that, Grande plans to reduce her public-facing work for a period.
Her representative has said Grande intends to take a break from public visibility after completing the tour. She has also withdrawn from the planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park With George.
That makes the coming weeks particularly interesting.
Grande may be preparing to spend less time in the public spotlight, but her music remains everywhere.
Can Ariana Grande Return to the Top Three?
There is little in this week’s numbers suggesting “Hate That I Made You Love Me” is experiencing a major collapse.
It dropped only one position, from No. 3 to No. 4.
More importantly, its underlying performance remains excellent.
A No. 10 radio ranking and No. 9 streaming ranking give Grande something many competing songs do not have: balance.
The challenge is simply that the three records ahead of her are even stronger this week.
With “Boston” immediately behind her at No. 5 and only a small Power 40 points difference separating several of these songs, movement could happen quickly next week.
For now, Ariana Grande gives up one position but remains securely among the biggest records in America.
And with a No. 1 Hot 100 debut already behind it, “Hate That I Made You Love Me” has established itself as one of the defining hits of Grande’s latest era.
