I am surprised it has taken so long to become a hit in the US, after all she is from there!

 

I don't want Mariah Carey's AIWFC to be announced as the #1 AFTER Christmas. That's just depressing. Hope Ava can take the #1.

The US is always months late when ot comes to new pop girls

Ava is currently my favourite artist. I found her from Not Your Barbie Girl on TikTok, then i found SBP and it grew on me.

#1 at last *.*

So glad this is a #1, this/Shallow/TUN saving 2018's number ones :wub:

 

I've been stanning this since August so it's fab to see a song I've loved for so long acc becoming a gigantic hit :cheer:

Yaaaaaaaaas

Good!

Wonder how long it'll last - 2/3 weeks? Sales are quite low though!

So there’s a bit of a chance that it might do a Joe McElderry :(

Best #1 of the year, right at the end. So pleased about that. :wub:

It just kinda sucks that her first week at #1 was on a throwaway week in terms of the weekly OCC but still a #1 is a #1!

There's nothing on the horizon I can see that'll overtake it for at least 2 weeks unless there's a big new release but they don't normally come until the week beginning 7th January and even then it usually takes a few weeks for something to build up now unless it's from a said few artists. Alternatively Mark Cyrus could challenge in 2-3 weeks as airplay peaks!

I should imagine at least 2 weeks, Post Malone or Mark & Miley might get it the week after.

 

Overall its a great #1, I actually prefer it over Mariah

Now I really fear it will do a River - couple weeks at the top after this, come next December people will forget it reached the top at all :(

You keep saying things like "nobody outside the chart watchers" will care, but from my experience the chart watchers are the only ones who know or care regardless. In terms of public perception (aka the 99.9% who aren't avid chart followers like us), it doesn't have any bearing on how the song is impacting right now.

 

Ask pretty much anyone on any given week who the current official #1 is and they'll either say "I don't know" or guess it wrong.

 

Finally heard this on a night out last night! It goes OFF. it reminds me of people's reactions to IDGAF and New Rules, two songs that are relatable and have distinct pop hooks.

Top 20 on US iTunes!!

Worldwide SMASH incoming *.*

#41 in the US this week (up 42 spaces!)

Don't know why I only hear this song this week but it's instantly catchy!! :wub:

I seriously think that this will reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
