While listening to the new meme song Ispy I got this as suggestion

this is a bopT!!! the beyonce of Migos is on it so It'll probably be a hit

iSpy isn't a meme or are you just calling it that cause of the genre and artist.

This week is going to be so exciting! Migos album release. This could be their highest streaming week. Shape Of You video Monday. This could also be Ed's highest streaming week for SOY. IDWLF video and discount. IDWLF streams are going to gain drastically as it was the only one of the three songs that was on YouTube really. All 3 songs are going to have MASSIVE numbers on the Hot 100 :duca:

Ways to go #1 these days:

 

1. Discount (Starboy, Cheap Thrills)

2. MV release

3. Both 1& 2 (Zaylor)

4. Drop videos from 3 different YouTube channels (Zaylor)

 

Kiiiiiiii :jonny:

#32 on US iTunes, #34 on US Spotify

I literally hate "hits" like these, if you can even call them that. And they're usually bad, too.

Considering it's getting zero airplay I was wondering where it's getting exposure? Surely it must be viral in some form.

IDWLF is def going #1

It's just a streaming hit lol.

 

There's tons of faceless EDM/euro-dance songs that do well on Spotify that get zero airplay in the US but no one calls them "meme songs".

Not really though? And this one is also top 10 on iTunes. Plus the artist is pretty much unknown.

Uh... yes?

 

Fast Car, Perfect Strangers, Fresh Eyes, Final Song, Come First, Capsize, The Mack, etc. all got huge Spotify pushes (you can reference the Spotify Payola Chart thread on OldTRL) and even did well on US Spotify yet barely did anything on radio. Call On Me took ages to get any radio play - same with Alarm and In The Name Of Love. But no one would call those "memes". 

 

iSpy sounds like a previous hit (Broccoli - which wasn't a 'meme' song either), this type of music does extremely well on US Spotify, and features Lil Yachty, who isn't "pretty much unknown" at all.

 

It's also been growing for weeks. Its success is not at all sudden if you've been following it.

I love seeing ATRL seethe over urban music taking control of the charts. :alexz:

Shape of You video coming on Monday. SNL performance coming Feb 11. Album release on March 3...looks like Tay/Zayn are in for a block

Monday is late in the charting week. We'll see what happens.

 

I think they can still get to #2 with #3 being on lock. #1 if it goes viral.

That's the point though?? :doc: Most of those songs did well on US Spotify because of the Spotify payola? That's where the exposure came from. nearly all of them were on TTH for months. Whereas iSpy is not the same.

 

Anyway I concede that I haven't seen iSpy used anywhere as a meme (yet) :michael: I never said it was viral, just expressed that it must be getting exposure from somewhere to be doing so well (on Spotify without payola... and on iTunes without a discount/hot tracks or whatever).

MV have always been a way of promo and discounts have been a thing since Katy started the trend for LFN.  I don't get what your last 2 points are though. :celestial5:

Actually I'm pretty sure the trend started with Rihanna. She discounted Only Girl (In The World) to $0.99 for a week to snack #1. And then she came out with the remix for S&M to snatch a week at #1.

 

These are all the one's I can think of that artists have used tactics to go #1 or try to go #1 with a discount and/or remix. Katy did both tactics for Last Friday Night to get 2 weeks at #1. She then tried the same thing for The One That Got Away and it failed. She also discounted Wide Awake but it couldn't get past Call Me Maybe. Bruno later did a discount for When I Was Your Man to score a week at #1. Sia did a discount to get her first 2 of 4 weeks at #1. Major Lazer tried to discount for Cold Water but Closer was too strong and it was too late in CW run to have much impact in sales. And then The Weeknd did a discount for Starboy to get a week at #1.

Ed Sheeran's music video drops Monday and this is Migos album release week so it's streams will probs increase. I wouldn't say definitely. It has a chance but we have to wait and see how all 3 songs do during the full week :dancehall:

Have you read any post in this thread? IDWLF video dropped and was uploaded on 3 VEVO channels and is discounted to $0.69 on iTunes. And SOY music video drops Monday and continues to widen the gap in airplay daily. It's going to be a close battle for all 3 tbh
