Cardi's power

Still? That means Shallow doesn't have a chance at that #1

[Phoenixstar]

Just get lost so that Shallow can be #1 and not stuck at #2 for 24 weeks.

[GreatestLoveofAll]

How has Shallow not taken over this song already 

[MusicLoverDude]

Adult Contemporary literally has some of the worst taste in music. The fact that only two to three of those songs are actually decent (all of them by women) says a lot.

My God, why adults like this generic basic ass song so much.

32th  if you actually say it you can feel it wrong in your bones

whew i knew it was coming because i didn't remember when we had another number one there.

Remember, this is not even the remix. They only play the album version which is even more tragic
