Highway Unicorn

The track I’m surprised is higher is “The Greatest” and that’s only because his verse is so forgettable on an already forgettable Sia track.

What’s the longest gap for someone done it with original music - no Christmas songs or older songs re-entering? Is it Leeds FC?

Was it the songs he released last year after J. Christ tanked? Those were SoundCloud exclusives so I don't think they are even on any non-SC streamer. Plus the label seems invested in this one (it has a Pharrell sample and I imagine those aren’t cheap). At worst it's probably doing to the same tankery as J. Christ did 14 months ago.

loving this trend of Disney / Nickelodeon stars having their first chart success a whole decade after their debut release. also, correct me if I’m wrong but if this goes top 40 eventually, "Victorious" would be the first US Nick/Disney show/film to produce two acts with a top 40 hit (not associated with the show/film) in the UK since the "Camp Rock" with Demi and all of the Jonas'? The three stars of "High School Musical" who released solo music (Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu and Vanessa Hudgens) never went higher than #86 (Tisdale's pop punk cover of “Kiss the Girl”), so Zac Efron's contributions towards "The Greatest Showman" remain that franchise stars only solo chart success. The reboot series ("High School Musical: The Musical: The Series") did spawn Olivia Rodrigo and for a while there it did look like Joshua Bassett could’ve followed suit but that clearly fizzled out fast. I wonder how he feels being the only part of the “drivers license” love triangle drama NOT to be a global superstar.

Lil Nas X is releasing a track “Hotbox” in March and the reactions to the teases have been really good, especially outside of his fanbase. Potential song of the summer contender too.
