I don't wanna be in his shoes when he starts flopping 

[chaklux]

 He most likely made the song prior to his recent fame. He literally just blew up this year, after cowboy carter release.

Not really. beyonce has nothing to do with ABS going viral on TikTok. Give credit to the artist.

Well, I believe she low-key gave him a platform of course the rest is organic.

The interesting thing is he doesn't even seem to make many moves to secure a fanbase or grow his audience.

[hungrymuffin]

his song made no noise where i live

so hes actually right

[Bad_vocal_technique]

Oh he's cute.

[rhaenyra]

To this day I've never heard this song nor do I know how this person looks and I'm glad for that

[Human Fly]

just another one hit wonder. LNX at least gave us montero after his record, this guy offers nothing. 

[swissman]

Why are so many people hoping for him to flop? Like what did he do to you that after getting a record-breaking hit, you want to relish in calling him a one-hit wonder?

 

This site is so weird. Everyone seems to respect and admire and RELY ON hits for any sort of point, yet here we have someone with a hit bigger than anyone else and it's all negativity and bitterness. Is it jealousy? Is it really because he said "he just can't win"? He very much seems to poke fun at that idea in the caption linked to in the OP. So anyone thinking he's entirely serious with that lyric, or doesn't understand the irony of saying it right now is very much projecting and/or forming their opinion on selective information.

 

People here really seem to feel better when they can demean someone's success, it seems.

He deserves his credit. He made the song, after all.

 

However, it's very hard to say that Beyoncé has no part in his success. He released *18* other singles that NEVER charted on the Hot 100 but 14 days after he appeared TWICE on COWBOY CARTER, his new single DEBUTS at #36. This cannot just be a coincidence. TikTok hits don't usually happen like that for unknown artists in just ONE week. To have a Top 40 hit out of the gate shows some level of baseline interest, for whatever reason and in this case it seems like the light Beyoncé shone on him did its job.

People are just salty because he blocked a lot of our faves from going #1, like Sabrina and Gaga. It happens with everyone who stays at the top for this long. Remember the backlash Taylor got when she blocked Billie from going #1 on the album chart?

Completely different ballgame... And Billie wasn't the only female artist. Unlike Taylor, Shaboozey and his label have been on autopilot: No new....

- album variants with one additional song

- deluxe bonus tracks

- single remixes

- radio mixes

- various limited album offerings with unique vinyl or cover colors

- live, Acapella, voicenote, and telephone booth versions of songs 

- acoustic albums.

 

Taylor's "trick" was that she would release these "extras" on Thursday afternoon right before the tracking week was over once she saw a new (female) artist had a lead of a few thousand sales on her album either stateside or in the UK that tracking week.

 

All that to surpass Whitney Houston (who pretty much accomplished her feat with one album edition per market)? 

 

Shaboozey isn't and has not been playing dirty.

Stop with this lie already. Taylor blocked Zach Bryan too. 
And billboard already confirmed that Taylor would've been without those extra sales too.

As much as this song annoys me now and I'm ready for a new #1, I'd like to remind people hating him incessantly for no reason that he is the only black male country artist to ever hit #1 (correct me if I'm wrong) and his #1 is historically significant. Like leave him alone, it's not his fault the songs below him aren't matching up on the charts.
