This from Swedish duo Jubël has entered the Spotify chart yesterday, though currently nowhere to be seen on Apple Music. I can see this definitely being a song that divides opinion, but I quite like it. :lol:

 

 

 

I thought this was super old? Weird if it's only taking off now.

 

I actually rather like this in terms of reworkings though!

Yeah, this came out in mid-2018 and was even a top 10 hit in Sweden at the time (and... minor mid-range charter in a bunch of other countries, probably of the 'playlist inclusion' kind - it has 95 million Spotify plays, which is way more than just a brief local hit would get). Their name used to be spelt just 'Jubel' but the accent got added later. It's a nice cover but I've liked their music since a lot more, particularly 'On The Beach' (a remake of the York track, with new lyrics):

 

Eh, this doesn’t get you on your feat living your best life like the original does. It’s cute enough but not for me

Debuts at #24 on the dance chart :puke2:

And at #92 on the official chart!

This is about to go Top 20 on iTunes *.*

Kill it

Kill it

Kill it x2

It’s at #17 right now x

 

Fell out of the actual chart this week though :kink:

it's starting to happen again! #63 in today's mid update so should be certain to re-enter and re-peak!

the song was on Summer Hits, was taken out, then dropped on Spotify... but then it was re-added to the playlist and it's back :(

Eww no I keep hearing this on Heart they are really trying to make it happen, but it's a no from me.

Strangely this is doing the opposite of most dance songs atm, it's doing worse on Apple Music compared to its performance on Spotify. :P

Spotify treats dance tracks very different depending if they're covers or not

It always take ages for Spotify to support original songs but dance covers always get support from the start

Cos that's what Spotify listeners like I guess

This song is on every other Spotify ad at the moment, and has been for weeks. I liked it on first listen, now it just gets on my nerves.

I used to hate the song when it was a hit for Toploader back in the day

one of my most hated songs ever, so a dance cover it's not gonna make it any better :D

I feel like we don't get a choice if this is a hit or not! It's been all over Instagram/Tik Tok ads for a couple months already, Spotfiy apparently too. I even heard it twice on Heart in the same day! I presume this means Capital will end up supporting it too. I don't quite get it as the original is still very popular and this cover doesn't really add much other than bringing a 2020 sound to it?

as a matter of fact, Toploader was also a cover, the original is from the 70s by a band called King Harvest

never heard the original though but I've read Toploader didn't change it much and is a carbon copy
