37. Justin Bieber - Yummy

 

This is so bad, hopefully it doesn’t go #1.

Yummy :coffee: :( Its not setting the iTunes chart alight is it.

What an odd choice for lead single, what were his team thinking with 'Yummy'? :unsure: hopefully it will bomb, everyone will pretend it was just a buzz single and then he'll come back with a killer song.

Bieber up to #8 now.

“Yummy” is awful

slow start, shouldn't take many sales

Now #4, can it stop pls.

Back in his heydays he would've been clear number one by now.

 

Streaming is of course where the audience is but still.

37. Ren & CHINCHILLA - How to Be Me

 

Not sure where this has come from lol, and it's been out a week. Alright song though.

 

 

Bieber was a breath of fresh air on his last album, was actually looking forward to this but it is generic and boring, gutting.

254. Connie Talbot - I Would

Thought Justin would be doing much better! Glad because it’s atrocious by all means.

I can't remember the last time I saw such a universally negative response to a major new pop song, I've not heard it yet but I can't envision a song that literally everyone seems to hate this much really being that huge of a hit. If it does go to #1 I think it'll be solely because of piss weak competition and it won't last long.

 

Caveat: I remember thinking something similar when 'I Don't Care' came out (although even that had a slightly more balanced response than this has had).

I'd be interested to know if anyone on here actually thinks 'Yummy' is a good song?

21. MIST - Savage

39. CamelPhat & Jem Cooke - Rabbit Hole

51. SHAED & ZAYN - Trampoline

98. Mura Masa & slowthai - Deal Wiv It (feat. slowthai)

I'd be interested to know if anyone on here actually thinks 'Yummy' is a good song?

I don’t think it is awful, just a generic trap sounding song. Could have been done by probably any contemporary rapper to the same effect, if not better.

 

Either way, I think it will do well on streaming regardless of opinion on here. I thought I don’t care was dull and that was number one for ages. Unless some real competition pops up, I can see this being number one until March.
