from Genius:

“Summer of ‘69” is the fourth single from Bryan Adam’s fourth album, Reckless. Written by Adams and Jim Vallance, it was originally titled “Best Days of My Life”. While “Summer of '69” does tell a story of a young man, potentially set in 1969, it was actually written about “making love in the summertime”, hence using the number “69” as a reference to sex.

:D

Bryan is from 59 so was 10 in 1969 :D

November 59 so would of been 9 in the summer, 🤭

MK - Dior up to #13 on Apple looks like that will be top 20 this week it’s strong on all platforms right now

Awh sad Alex won’t break the record but if Sabrina can be stable and not be a one week wonder il be happy enough.

More interested and happy about Olivia Dean in the Spotify top 10, been a fan since he debut, great voice!!

Olivia is surely about to outpeak her Amazon exclusive Christmas song from 2021 finally!

Dior up to 13 on Apple

I’m so here for can’t decide and dior, along with blessings hopefully having the top 10 looking fresh with some new dance hits in the coming weeks

I just find the concept of Sabrina Carpenter having stans hilarious. Even though I disagreed with how nasty Beyoncé (and Lady Gaga, etc.) fans were back in the day, I could at least understand it. But Sabrina Carpenter, she flopped endlessly for years, and now she suddenly has a load of fans who are going to extreme lengths to abuse her competition? I went on the Twitter link someone posted a couple of pages ago and after a few clicks I came across a Sabrina fan who tried to accuse Alex Warren of being a rapist (which was debunked in the replies). That's just the absolute low, and for a pop star who would have been mocked as a flop a few years ago probably by the same person...

Did Sabrina “flop” though or was she just in the process of grafting/working hard to get to a position of building her fanbase to this point?

I wouldn’t say she “flopped endlessly” for years when she was getting more and more popular/success with each subsequent release she put out.

Yeah I hate this current climate of discourse where anyone who doesn't immediately go big is mocked. As cool as it is to see people like Olivia and Billie be teenagers on top of the world, I think it's also really cool to see people who work hard for years to build themselves up into success. I find it admirable to continue to push yourself even when the dream is farther away. Anyone who thinks that is mockworthy, I think it says more about them than it does about the artist.

And Sabrina in particular I think is a weird person for this conversation because she was trapped in a terrible contract she signed when she was 12 for 4 albums with a label built around music for children that refused to let her make anything that could appeal to adults. When she was actually able to negotiate a proper contract with creative control with a serious label, it took her 2 albums to become a global superstar.

I don't think anyone is MOCKING Sabrina? The criticism is mostly about her sticking with the same formula for a release after SNS. Sooner or later the formula stops working anyway so it would be beneficial to experiment more when she is getting streams and attention by default. In two years time the trends will favour something else anyway.

^but this is a leftover from the Short era, it's not the lead single of the next album, so it's normal that it sounds like short and it's not re-inventing the wheel

07 Ed Sheeran - Sapphire

09 MK & Chrystal - Dior

I'd say the opposite to be fair she only been this popular for a year so far so probably too soon to be experimenting , just look at Chappel yes the giver is a decent size hit but PPC was there before and its still there now

Sabrina's focus market is of course the USA - and there she missed top ten with both Bed Chem and especially Busy Woman (#27) so it's a bit weird they didn't use this chance to try something unexpected. But it's just opinions, seems that Manchild will debut high in the USA too so she's fine as of now lol.

What? The comment I was directing that at said that it was amusing she had stans after "flopping endlessly". Nobody was even talking about her release formula.

Tbf bed chem was released as a single long after the album had been released and the 3 main focus singles were still high, busy woman pushed as far as I can tell as she was busy touring and it was essentially a deluxe track

It doesn't surprise me that they have brought out a "bridge the gap" single for Sabrina, or that it is "more of the same".

Now she has proper broken through to the mainstream, there is no way they would want to drop the momentum.

Waiting months for the lead from a new album could easily lead to interest falling off and she's back to getting middling success rather than being a big name.

It's happened with a fair few acts in the past, after all.
