After last week's debut at #3, The Weeknd's "Sacrifice," the second single from his newly-released album Dawn FM, becomes his second #1 hit on the Crown 100. It follows "Starboy" featuring Daft Punk, which was the Crown 100's first #1 when it launched in 2016. "Sacrifice" bests the peak for his most recent hits: lead single "Take My Breath," along with After Hours singles "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears," all peaked at #2, while After Hours's "In Your Eyes" reached #3.

Moving into the runner-up position from last week's #4 spot, Adele's own second single, "Oh My God" from 30, makes its climb toward the top. Should it reach the pole position, it would follow her previous single "Easy On Me" to become her second Crown 100 #1. This week, it trails "Sacrifice" by just under 60,000 points.

Last week's chart-topper, "abcdefu" by GAYLE, drops to #3 this week, just 3,000 points below "Oh My God." It remains to be seen whether the track can return to the top, with a new single, "ur just horny," now beginning to climb the charts (it lands within the top 300 this week after its Wednesday, January 19 release).

Previously-mentioned "Easy On Me," a former #1 for Adele, drops 2–4 this week. It rests 11,000 points under "abcdefu," but has a sizable 63,000-point gap between it and #5.

The song coming in at #5 this week is "When I'm Gone" by Alesso & Katy Perry, which climbs another four spots.

Encanto runaway hit "We Don't Talk About Bruno" makes another big move, becoming the week's sole new entrant to the top ten thanks to a 16–6 jump.

After having peaked at #2, Taylor Swift's ten-minute extended version of Red fan favorite "All Too Well" descends from #5 to #7 this week. At this time, it's her 20th song to peak in the top ten on the Crown 100, and has spent its entire run to date there.

In a close race to fill out the remaining spots in the top ten, The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber climb two spots with their big hit, "STAY," now at #8. They're closely followed by aespa's "Dreams Come True," down by three; Elton John, Dua Lipa, and PNAU round it out at #10 with "Cold Heart."

In the top twenty, four songs slide up to new peaks: The Weeknd's "Less Than Zero" (14–12), SF9's "Trauma" (18–17), Kodak Black's "Super Gremlin" (24–19), and NCT U's "Universe (Let's Play Ball)" (29–20).

At #44, the greatest gainer of the week goes to "pushin p" by Gunna featuring Future & Young Thug. The DS4EVER single blasts off with a 53-position increase from last week's debut.
