Cardi's highest charting solo track already! *.* Such a bop :cheeseblock:

Not quite up to the success of WAP thankfully!

Boo at Cardi B missing the top 20

This is OK but WAP is better.

chart position-wise, willow is the best performing Taylor lead single in its 9th week since Shake It Off! :o

Up is sounding kinda basic, at this point I prefer WAP but maybe this will grow in the weeks to come.

Cardi B using the same formula. Bye.

Wonder if Up will climb higher in the next few weeks? Its holding well on streaming so far

This Cardi B track is just boring. Not good, not bad, just dull. Very dull.

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music

Up is headache-inducing

 

most surprised at WAP not having made Cardi a bigger name, was expecting this to debut much much higher

Blinding Lights on its 5th run in the Top 20 :lol:

I don't mind this Weeknd track tbh, I prefer it to his recent single.

Cardi B missing the top 20 for this?

Guess this means Save Your Tears is out. :(

I still love BL

Doubt its managed a reset but nice that a got a little boost this week

Legend Abel back in Top 20 and with Save Your Tears as well :cheeseblock:

Guess this means Save Your Tears is out. :(

I don't think so.

Guess this means Save Your Tears is out. :(

 

Wasn't Save Your Tears Top 20 in the midweeks?
