May 11, 20223 yr looks like Taylor's gonna miss :/ no surprise seeing how badly Spotify is treating the song :(
May 11, 20223 yr How Cat is increasing her lead from Lizzo when the latter is ahead on both iTunes and Spotify? Cat should’ve been on ACR a long time ago
May 11, 20223 yr looks like Taylor's gonna miss :/ no surprise seeing how badly Spotify is treating the song :( It's way below top 100 on AM too. It was always going to be short-lived anyway.
May 11, 20223 yr Yes! I want to see the new George Ezra and Tom Grennan singles top 40 this Friday. :dance: Me too but would also like to see Dermot Kennedy back in aswell.
May 11, 20223 yr Me too but would also like to see Dermot Kennedy back in aswell. Same here. I’d like to see all three of them in the top 40 on Friday
May 11, 20223 yr Why is Mariah is so high, but barely charting on Spotify? Does the song have multiple entries on Spotify? The only reason you are able to refer to it as being 'Mariah' is that it has multiple versions :P (the version with her on it is a remix, it was originally a solo song by Latto so yes it has 2 versions, the original has not yet charted in the top 200 on Spotify but it presumably can't be too far out) How Cat is increasing her lead from Lizzo when the latter is ahead on both iTunes and Spotify? Cat should’ve been on ACR a long time ago Multiple versions as well, as has already been explained
May 12, 20223 yr There is even a Go remix version with Russ Millions now :o Also on Amazon, Go is doing much better than About Damn Time, Go has been #3 all week while the highest Lizzo has been is #11
May 12, 20223 yr So are there 3 versions of Big Energy then? Latto, Latto & Mariah and Latto, Mariah & DJ Khaled? Much confusion.
May 12, 20223 yr On my Spotify there are 2 versions, the 2021 original Latto solo and the 2022 version credited as Lartto & Mariah ft DJ Khaled... zero confusion
May 12, 20223 yr I think there are just 2 versions The original with just Latto then the Remix with Latto, Mariah and DJ Khaled
May 12, 20223 yr I think there are just 2 versions The original with just Latto then the Remix with Latto, Mariah and DJ Khaled there are technically 3 versions... the latto solo version, the latto & mariah carey ft. dj khaled version that is the popular one (the clean version) and there is also an explicit version of the latto & mariah carey ft. dj khaled version
May 12, 20223 yr The clean and explicit versions have their numbers combined on Spotify. Have always found it a bit weird that it's the clean version that is doing best on iTunes.
May 12, 20223 yr The clean and explicit versions have their numbers combined on Spotify. Have always found it a bit weird that it's the clean version that is doing best on iTunes. [This post all based on AU iTunes experience though I imagine UK iTunes is similar] I assume it's because (intentionally or not) that's the one they've promoted on the front page, which has driven enough impulse buys that it's normalised that version. With that big sales lead, it's also the one that turns up first in the search results (I had to expand the results to see the explicit one). For a counter example, I remember when Enrique's "Tonight" had the clean & explicit versions, the explicit one shot up first with the clean version trailing far behind. The moment it dropped out of the iTunes top 10 (and thus out of display on the front page, the explicit plummeted, and not long after the clean version was selling better than it.
May 12, 20223 yr The clean version of the Big Energy remix also came out a few days before the explicit one, so it had a head start!

The clean version of the Big Energy remix also came out a few days before the explicit one, so it had a head start! I guess both of these make sense! (although re Enrique that's the kind of song that I think makes more sense for the clean version to catch on more, see also Cee Lo Green and Lloyd, because their explicit versions rely on pretty crass hooks which the clean versions provide a much more palatable alternative to, which I wouldn't say is the case for 'Big Energy' despite also having profanity in its hook) Well on Apple the explicit version is actually the only one charting (at #17) with the clean version nowhere to be seen I assume they're combined there as well - I think it's only iTunes that separates the clean and explicit versions.

I also remember when Amy Winehouse died, one of her solo acoustic/live(?) versions of Valerie was the one that vaulted up the iTunes chart here, not the one with Mark Ronson, since she wasn't credited on it at the time and searching 'amy winehouse valerie' wasn't making it show up.
