You could argue that Tinashe is semi relevant but I agree, she needs a big star to get the song out there ala Dave

 

From Wikipedia: Dave is the stage name of Wouter Otto Levenbach, OON (born May 4, 1944), a Francophone singer from the Netherlands who had a string of number one hits in France in the 1970s. Despite his great success, he is still virtually unknown in his country of origin.

I mean Dave as in Dave of 'Wanna Know' fame, the song that's gained popularity because of the Drake feature :P

Actual Dave from Wikipedia: David Santan (born 5 June 1998), known simply as Dave or Santan Dave, is an English rapper from Streatham, South London.[1][2][3]

I know. This is the first Dave's biggest hit :dance: Interesting funky sound effects.

I'm not getting this 'Black Beatles' thing. I mean, it's not the sort of thing I ordinarily like anyway but I can at least usually find some kind of catchy hook or distinguishing feature somewhere... this has nothing?

In all honesty, I can actually recall some of the lyrics from Black Beatles, even if it is just one line. The only lyrics I can remember from Juju On that Beat are...well...'Juju On That Beat'

I hope the track is put on the New Music Friday list ─ would really raise awareness for it. I assume that and some playlists would establish its existence.

 

It probably will be. Mid week releases usually tend to feature on the following Friday's playlist.

2. Rae Sremmurd - Black Beatles (feat. Gucci Mane)

20. Nevada - The Mack (feat. Mark Morrison & Fetty Wap)

21. Rag'n'Bone Man - Human

22. Little Mix - Touch

32. Mura Masa - Love$ick (feat. A$AP Rocky)

40. KDA - Just Say (feat. Tinashe)

47. Britney Spears - Slumber Party (feat. Tinashe)

50. Little Mix - Nobody Like You

 

YES at KDA sneaking Top 40!

I couldn't even finish the song, it's WAY too long for what it is and it's just utterly dull, Lord knows why it's looking like the next number 1 even with this Mannequin challenge, and just when we finally had a really good number 1 with Rockabye :(

I think it did this last week but the stream is holding it back

I actually quite like Black Beatles, it certainly works well within the confines of the meme that it is attached to, and would make a different and interesting #1 (if it gets there). It is also incredibly hook-y, i'm surprised people think or can't recognise any hooks?

 

It is certainly a MUCH better single than "Closer" and that new Clean Bandit "Hips Don't Lie" pastiche and total disappointment.

'Black Beatles' is terrible. I really, really hate it. Not quite as much as I hated 'Harlem Shake', but almost!

 

What are the chances of Little Mix going back to number 1 next week? They're on the Now album* and are surely gonna be one of the 10 that get top 100 due to cherry picks as well as their album being released in two formats (deluxe and standard). I guess it might not be enough, but I'd like to think they could be in with a fighting chance.

 

* providing they're not "album only" of course, which could be possible due to SyCo wanting all attention on the album instead?

It wouldn't surprise me the singles chart usually slows a bit between now and Xmas with lower sales - we haven't had a return to no1 since Bieber Love Yoirself in January!

They won't be album only as they never have been. Hate the NOW effect as it causes the new songs and songs which aren't on the album to fall so I can see Bruno, Weeknd and Rae Sremmurd falling next week

But they've never released at the same time as a NOW album before, so Syco might decide it's not a good idea/think it'll attract potential sales away from their album etc... I guess we'll see. I think/hope you're right though.

Never Been Better was released at the same time as NOW 89 and "Wrapped Up" wasn't album-only

'Black Beatles' is FULL of hooks, don't understand how people can claim the opposite!

It's great, glad to see them getting some success. I could imagine it being a hit but never this huge. Definitely didn't see it being a #1 contender! Would be my favourite #1 of the year if it makes it, so I hope it does.

Black Beatles is so bland and boring.. why is the going to number 1?!

Y'all mad at BB potentially going #1
