A Bar Song seems to be one of the (top) 10 biggest hits this year.

 

At least by the chart/radio/digital sales metric. Idk how big it is culturally. I've honestly never listened to it (also unintentionally).

 

But has Shaboozey released an album? This seems to be a big smash and he has that momentum. It would be a waste of a huge hit. Or am i not aware of it?

it's a gotye situation.

 

people have zero interest beyond that one song...well he did get a song to #124 I guess

[BowWow]

Boaf rising like this is proof MVs still had impact

congrats shaboozy for being an organic hit, still topping streaming charts we love a genuinely popular track instead of payola "hit" that is flopping on streaming topping the charts

[bad guy]

Rise BOAF rise 

[truthteller]

can interscope just lend billie an autopen or sth

[TrieLz]

Abel will do something for a top 5 debut, especially when the points are close for a top 2-top 5 

 

and Billie should do something this week if she want a Top 3 peak, drop some versions/remix will help for a top 3 peak. This is her only chances before she start freefall on Radio.

It is #1 on every metric, so very well deserved  I would also prefer Billie, Chappel etc. to go #1 instead, but the song is great as well, so I have no issue with it staying at #1

 

But it will be interesting to see, who will finally dethrone it, as other songs are falling/stalling and nothing seems to be debuting big

Chappell has peaked and is losing a lot of good will with her public meltdowns and cancelled appearances, so I don't think Good Luck, Babe has much time left. Her refusal to film a music video did a number on that song's chances for a higher peak.

It's ridiculous that Die With a Smile, Birds of a Feather, Good Luck Babe and Taste are not able to surpass ABS & IHSH at this point when these songs have felt like the most hyped songs in the US for a solid month.

Okay, IHSH has gone recurrent on Pop now. Now is the time for the above songs (maybe it's too late for GLB) to finally move above it and get a new peak. You can't blame radio anymore. If they can't even pass IHSH (which is not actively being promoted anymore and is 50 points behind ABS), then they really don't deserve to pass ABS.

Espresso can have a new peak but it seems like BOAF will pass it nooo 

Billie discounted it!

COME ON BIRDS OF A SMASH 

[ariesgroove]

new BOAF peak  hope it can go #1 eventually 

[Ger]

Mind you this is going #2 with a self-sabotage awful music video which makes fun of the song. Not even her being her worst enemy it's stopping BOAF to be successful. Slay! 

[wish]

Hopefully the music video + tour boost will be enough to get that Top 2 peak  Also release some vinyls while you're at it!

[pride4jc1222]

Finally, IHSH and Espresso are out of the Top 3.

[Malkuth]

I think the Shaboozey song is actually really good. Those of you who haven't heard it should give it a listen. It's wild the monoculture is dead, but those are the times we live in. I haven't heard some of the massive hits this year either.

[Nefertiti0]

 

[Green]

Snatch that top 2 Billie    Top 3 seems locked either way

[Hot Volcano]

BOAF  

 

DWAS might stay #5

[bad guy]

BI#2DS OF A FEATHER 

[Cyanide]

Justice for DWAS and BOAF

[Kylizzle]

So many #2 peaks this era  at least we also got to 2 Oscars.

[jezebelvictoria]

Omg that song needs to die. I need GaGa to go #1.

A Bar Song to tie Old Town Road's record of 19 weeks at #1 on the Canadian Hot 100:
