Nobody really knows who he is. i'm genuinely confused by it. how do you go from never charting a single song on Billboard to debuting in the top 3? how is it possible to pick up that much steam and recognition organically in the span of 7 days?

Papi Juancho Posted May 12 Posted May 12 The autoplay for this song is BIG , it plays after any song I listen of ANY GENRE. A new Flowers situation
perfectillusion204 Posted May 12 Posted May 12 The payola on the song must be insane because no one knows who this guy is or what this song is. Sus 3 1

But the song is definitely unique and I can see why it smashes. But yeah, once they throw something in the algorithm and it sticks… boom smash hit. Edited May 12 by KatyPrismSpirit 1

Gossip_Boy Posted May 12 Posted May 12 This is going to do major damage all summer long. A definite brunch/pool party banger.

Brent Faiyaz himself is independent

It has happened before. Oliver Anthony never charted anything before Rich Men North of Richmond for debuting at #1 on the Hot 100 last August.

That song is also a big bop. Like that Austin song also the same fate. Mega viral bops that dont translate well to streaming. This make me think there`s a label agenda behind these like the virality might be organic but to translate to streaming, the label needs to invest playlisting/auto play 1
