No Sleeep

They finally gave Popular a reset to shut me up only for it get stuck at #11 again :cry:

JLo #16, that’s not very nice

She also has a collab with Beyoncé that I’m just finding out exists :o

Mary J. Blige has a very impressive and diverse list of collaborators - Mariah Carey, George Michael, U2, Ray Charles, Jay-Z, Drake, Notorious B.I.G, Rod Stewart, Jessie J, Lil Kim, Andrea Bocelli, Elton John

I’m so used to the big names underperforming recently (Ed, Lewis, Adele (yes I know Easy On Me was huge but still), Dua, Rihanna), idk it’s hard to imagine Ariana bucking the trend unless the song is an undeniable smash. No one is really guaranteed a hit anymore on name alone

Albums aren’t really designed to have 12 singles! Plus the rule of diminishing returns, hard to imagine there’d be much hype left after the 3rd or 4th release

I don’t think the hype is there for Ariana, maybe if she was coming back from thank u, next but Positions was a pretty middling effort from her, it doesn’t feel like the hype is there. The Vogue sample does sound promising though, Positions was basically all mid-tempos

I have a feeling next week will be #1 Noah, #2 Sophie and #3 Ariana

She’s really about to be robbed of a 64th top 10 because The Weeknd’s label is too lazy to ask for a reset (and because of the dumb January rule)

They really should’ve just waited until January to give it a push

Ugh can The Weeknd’s label just ask for a reset for Popular! It’s so unfair because it has surely risen by over 25%. I just want Madonna to get her 64th top 10

I wonder where Popular would be if it wasn’t on ACR. If it’s robbed of a top 10 peak I’ll be fuming

It’s annoying to think of something missing a new peak just so Water and Cruel Summer can cling onto the lower end of the top 10 for a few more weeks

I never got the hype for Cruel Summer, it’s not even the best song on Lover

Do we know where it would’ve been without ACR?

So is Popular top 10 or is it not even top 40? :unsure:

Why would they do that?

It’s just odd because they gave the singles from Golden and Disco better treatment only for them to limp into the top 75 for a week or 2 (if they’re lucky), Tension singles meanwhile proved Kylie can still get top 20 and top 10 hits and they suddenly decided it doesn’t matter??

Ngl I’m fuming Cruel Summer got reset but Popular didn’t! They might be robbing themselves of a top 10 peak

It’s odd, we got 5 videos from Golden and Disco. I don’t see why they’d give up on Tension now?

Their timing has been very wacky this era. In a perfect world we’d have had Padam vinyls in June and HOTN vinyls this week for maximum chart impact

Zero, it’s #31 on Spotify so I’d expect it to drop

Popular has increased by a lot more than 25% but idk how resets work in January

Not that I can see. Rick Astley covered it on NYE, but idk if that would explain it doing so well on Spotify!

What’s behind the Ain’t No Mountain High Enough resurgence?
