I'm so glad LYLALS got that resurgence thanks to TikTok. Really it is a mix of events: the various trends the song was used for (I've seen like at least 4 versions of the song with hundreds of thousands of videos), the 10th year anniversary and the nostalgia for the early 2010s that's happening now and oddly enough the goodwill Selena has managed to gather in the past year or so on social media by Gen Z and younger (and even older thanks to OMITB). Literally she's never had this type of love before, at least compared to before 2019 (especially 2016-2018). Just last month with the whole Hailey podcast appearance and their meet up last week, everyone is on her side and praising her for being the bigger person and more. It is great to see. Also the sheer quality of the song is responsible of course. 

I want to believe People You Know going viral is benefitting from these phenomena. I have also seen a couple edits with big numbers on Tiktok using Wolves. Maybe it is all a coincidence and good luck. Hoping for Souvenir to be next or a deep cut from her first two The Scene albums cause the streams for them are abysmal.

 

And it is funny how Attention surpassed WDTA on Spotify but the latter has since surpassed it again lol. It is satisfying because Attention was really big and did so well on Spotify; I guess it just shows how much of a classic WDTA is becoming.

I mean, at the rate it's going it will also surpass See You Again which is quite literally one of the best-selling songs of all time, so yeah, truly an evergreen classic :ghostface:

 

Anyway, some notable Spotify gains on Friday:

 

Love You Like A Love Song - 571k

Taki Taki - 407k

Wolves - 400k

Back To You - 335k

Who Says - 276k

Same Old Love - 206k

Hands To Myself - 170k

 

All should be the highest they've been in quite a while, and that's the second biggest update ever for LYLALS. Definitely gonna be her 7th song to cross a billion on Spotify at this point, unless Calm Down gets bigger and has amazing longevity or if some new song smashes hard in the near future

Oh wow at LYLALS! Spotify is a cool way to get a better idea as to which songs could become her signature ones, and so far LYLALS, Wolves and Taki Taki/WDTA are the frontrunners lol. Also I really think WDTA and LYLALS could be her Diamond certified songs in the US, if they keep growing like they are right now. 

LYTLM should get to 1b early 2023 (finally, it is taking its sweet time). Hopefully BTY gets a boost too because...

Rosalía has also done that global thing with a double cover for Vogue Spain and Italy. I guess they are trying to push that global concept now so maybe Selena does cover two issues at the same time too, like its been rumored

Honestly, this is making me excited for the next album and the lead. I hope her fans understand that Selena/Interscope will just drop this and be done with it. I can't take more stupid meltdowns anymore

It seems like they're planning on giving the song a push though, what with the pre-order link being dropped so early on and the exposure it will probably get on Apple Music because of the partnership

 

I don't know how smart it would be to go all out for it though, I feel like there hasn't been a proper build-up of excitement for the song since all the focus is on the actual documentary, and will be so among the fans as well on release day, and even then the lyrics and topic seem to be very playlist-averse and not very "singable". If the doc creates chatter once it drops the song is gonna benefit from it though, that's for sure, I just have a hard time seeing it as some kind of longevity hit

Just looking for a good first week streaming debut :clap3:

Oh yes definitely, you are right. I just don’t see them trying after the first week because of what you said: the song is really not very TikTok, streaming ready. It’s not something you wanna listen to on repeat. I guess if they made a video for it then they expect it to do something. I personally would just push it like every song gets pushed during the first couple days and then leave it alone. The doc will help for sure but it will basically be another Only the Young (unless I’m totally wrong and the GP embrace it like crazy). Id rather them keep their efforts for the lead single (whenever it comes) instead of using it on this song

Always takes forever for the ATRL comment box to work now.

 

Anyways do you guys think it will be a standalone single or part of SG3?

I also completely forget about I Feel Pretty, wonder if it is completely scrapped or will be part of the album. 

 

 

 

Q&A event coming soon.

I wonder when that was. I suppose during the global lockdown (March-June) cause before that she seemed ok and then she didn't do much until the end of 2020 when she started filming OMITB

Why didn’t VF give her the cover though.. :coffee2:

Kinda concerned about the Doc length tbh
2 hours would be the ideal imo

:dancehall:
