There are some interesting stats about the switch of both versions in the US. Even, it implies a new wind since audiences were starting to get tired of the DaBaby version at some point in the article.

Really interesting. Makes you wonder if it even needed DaBaby to be a hit in the first place.

DaBaby is no longer credited in the latest published Hot 100 issue.

 

@1430103361878102016

 

Maybe they should just take the remix down from all platforms

They're still crediting him in their article write-up for some reason

https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/news...rd-week-hot-100

 

The version with DaBaby still accounts for the majority of the streams. I'm guessing the label is worried the Spotify playlists won't add the solo version if they take the remix down

Bet they wish they'd chosen someone else now, it's 'Do What U Want' all over again.

Can they replace DaBaby version with this one pls

:lol:

I mean, while DaBaby's comments were awful and his attitude since has been just as bad, I don't think he's quite on R. Kelly's level...!

 

I've chosen the album version to listen to over the remix the past few times I've heard Levitating anyway but I don't think removing it from platforms will solve anything really, it's already been swapped out on many streaming + radio playlists, and him losing the Billboard credit speaks volumes.

Can they replace DaBaby version with this one pls

Ken Lee teas !!

Physical I would say.

 

Levitating as much as it’s a Dua classic, it is overplayed to death currently and people might not vote for it at this time, if it makes sense!!!
