I don't get why song is becoming so huge. It's decent, but I feel like the chorus is pretty weak, and lacks a punch. You almost don't even realize it when it comes on. I really like the gospel choir at the end though, and I feel like it's a saving grace for this song. They've had so many better songs deserving of this success in the past. But I guess I'm glad that they're finally getting a big hit. To be honest I don't think there's a single song in their entire catalog as mainstream radio friendly as this. Whether there are better ones is debatable, but this is easily their catchiest song to date. No surprise it's their first Top 40 smash.

^ If this is their first top 40 smash, what was 'Still Into You'?

This definitely deserves the success it is having. I want to see them get #1 on Pop, but they might have to settle for a #2 peak.

I completely agree. I'm not getting "Fancy" at all. One of the worst songs to hit the top five in a long time! I never even heard of this Azalea rapper until about a month ago. And now all of the sudden she has two of the fastest rising songs of the year at the same time! Sounds like "pay for play" to me. If "Ain't It Fun" gets denied the top spot because of this garbage, I will NOT be happy! Why is that a bad thing? Shouldn't we want to live in a world in which someone does not need to be an established star to gain notoriety and airplay for her music? And it's not like she completely came out of nowhere - she had been building credibility for years. Love or hate their music, I'm glad we're seeing acts like Iggy, KONGOS, Nico & Vinz, American Authors, MAGIC!, etc garnering exposure at pop. Plus, Charli XCX is an awesome talent - and it's good to see her get actual face time on a US track (even though she wrote and was featured on I Love It, she didn't have so overt a presence on the final product). Not saying it's a better song than Ain't it Fun, but I'm not going to complain about America embracing music from someone new. Woah! You have me completely wrong here. I'm all for new talent coming up, and frankly, I did honestly never here of her. But if she has been slowly gaining exposure over the last few years, good for her. But I was just talking about this one particular song of hers. I don't find it appealing, it's the same generic type of rap song that has hit the top of the charts many times in the last 20 years, and the melody (what there is of it) just consists of the same repetitive three note chord being played over and over again. I think the Paramore song is far superior to this, and they certainly deserve at least one week at the top before "Fancy" takes over, which is showing now signs of slowing down at the moment, and is closing in on "Ain't It Fun" by the day.

Just be glad this isn't Alternative, a format is that is so fucking unfair to its core artists and the whole fucking chart is new acts. It's not fair that the bands that used to be smashing instantly are flopping.
One new act isn't going to kill your format.

Made it to #2 in the final update by just 4 spins. I despise "Fancy" like no other song right now, so at least the better song won this week.

I don't get this fascination with "Fancy". One of the reasons I have enjoyed the CHR format the last three years is because there has been more quality music charting. "Ain't It Fun" is one of those quality songs, but unfortunately it won't make it to number one here because of that awful song keeping it out. Thankfully, at least it should hit the top of the Hot AC chart very soon.

That is a good update.
I want to see their bullet increase to go over 1000 again. If Iggy somehow slows down, and Paramore can get higher updates, this can still have a shot at the top.

I've never been a huge Paramore fan, but this song is very good. I probably wouldn't have pegged this as a huge pop hit on first listen, so it's great to see this doing so well.
