charts discussion Cruel Summer challenging for #1; threatened by new racist country song

[B-Luke]

Drake said on July 27 he would release the album "in like 2 weeks" which whould‘ve been last Friday  if it‘s not out by this Friday it probably won‘t be until September/October

[umich]

I’m sitting here tipsy in this car (PARKED) fuming at the possibility of what may happen next week.. as a chart enthusiast, I am looking forward to this hitting #1. It’s still a chance but these shenanigans is like whack a mole-s coming outta nowhere. Whatever.

 

[Ger]

What the actual f*ck, I just saw that Oliver song is #1 on AM, super weird.

[espeon]

The way that country artists dominate that Top 3/5 on Hot 100 and BB200…

 

all the gays we need to come together and make charts great again

well Aldean sold over 200k in 2 days so I guess nothing about this is shoking anymore   

 

Could he sell 200k the whole week though? That's the only way he could reach #1 on the Hot 100, if not then there is nothing to worry about

This situation is real shady when looking into it. Someone reached out to him to write the song.

 

“Struggling with mental health and coping with alcohol” is a nice way to call someone an alcoholic. I wonder what the viewpoint of a Black person struggling with mental health and using drugs to “cope” would be

“Real” for WHO? A burly man playing a guitar in the woods isnt relatable to me. I wonder what he considers inauthentic.

Yeah, but to be fair most men would watch Troye Sivan's latest video and not find that relatable or authentic either. People are just different.

Whats racist about rich men north of richmond? I dont get it

[Kamil24]

how is the song racist? It sounds anti-fat to me.

[PurrKaty]

Is this new Country song racist like the thread title suggests? I haven’t listened but I haven’t seen any news talking about it like Try That In A Small Town.

Is 150k enough for #1?

 

I guess this one will have a full week of big streams unlike Jason's song which only had 2 days of big streams

He’s singing about men north of the capital

of the confederacy. He has a YouTube playlist with anti-Semitic conspiracy videos

Not 150k total, 150k so far.

lip predictions on Twitter: "@simmnfierzig @talkofthecharts @AintGottaDollar last prediction was 100k so he’s at least 50 points ahead with a 150k projection" / X

 

So he‘s already 50 points ahead of #2 (whatever song it is)

Because he’s astroturfed, some Republican group is propping him up to seem bigger than he is
