I knew I was going to be right about Jack Harlow! It's a bit cheap and Fergies is better but I still actually really like it for a chilled Summer song.

 

Yes it looks you are right about it debuting at #1! The melody in the chorus of that Fergie song by the way always reminded me of 'footsteps on the dance floor' (Teardrops by Womack and Womack)!

We’re still a way off it debuting at #1 next week! Especially as it’s still at #4 on Apple Music.

Oh hello!

 

191. Chase & Status - Mixed Emotions

 

The drum and bass resurgence continues :cheeseblock:

Jack up to #3 on Apple. 'Nail Tech' is also getting a nice resurgence back up to #146.

 

Did the 'Big Energy' remix get added to Apple's main hits playlist? Surprising to see it suddenly showing up now after doing nothing before.

Yeah it has been added, as has Psychofreak & Jack’a new one

Ooh a new pop punk tune making an appearance! I’ve liked this since it was released a few weeks ago, I’m pleasantly surprised to see it enter on Apple!

 

197. Leah Kate - 10 Things I Hate About You

And Jack is now #1 on Apple + 'Nail Tech' up to #111. Would be very surprised if he is #1 on Spotify given Harry has been doing much better there than on Apple, but probably in with a good shot of going in at #2.

 

The general reception to this song from what I've seen seems to be pretty universal that the TikTok snippet was the best part of it and the verses don't add much to it though so not sure how long the hype for it is likely to last.

 

Other newies on Apple:

#31 David Guetta/Becky Hill/Ella Henderson

#39 Digga D

#58 Lil Baby - In A Minute

#112 Camila Cabello/WILLOW

#133 Lil Baby - Right On

#139 Chase And Status

#165 BIA/J. Cole

#170 Wet Leg - Being In Love (Angelica at #78, Chaise Longue at #168)

 

C&S possibly coming for their first chart single since 2016!

Jack Harlow #31 on Amazon, which is quite fast for Amazon standards

so next week's top 4 is gonna have 3 songs based on samples boo :/

As if sampling is anything new :lol:

 

 

I think fair sampling is better than imitation like on that bizarre Black Legend hit You See Trouble with Me which basically sampled Barry White but without permission to use his vocals so they just imitated them.

lol of course sampling is not new, but 3 in the top 4 is too much

BTW, an insider,

 

"First Class" by Jack Harlow reportedly did 10.5 million unfiltered streams during its first 17 hours of tracking on Spotify.

 

So I guess that's a 6 million+ US debut? Only 2 other songs have crossed this mark all-time (I think).

 

Top 2 debut is probably locked too.

I don't think his UK numbers will be huge but nice for him to do so well. Happy for him actually.

What makes you think that he doesn't do well outside the US? It sounds pretty universal track to me.

Cuz he's VERY local for now, so maybe it will expend WW but it will start very strong in the US, so I'm not expecting big numbers first day outside the US.

Yeah, compared to other countries in the Anglosphere, American rappers tend to always do a bit worse in the UK, this includes every Jack Harlow song to date
