As cool as it is to see this chugging along, IMO this is one of the most obvious cases of payola on CHR since LWYMMD. Mediocre sales and callout, no streaming, and yet it’s been chugging along this entire time.

This has 421M streams on Spotify to-date. (I don't have any idea how many of these are from the US though.) And even before its run on radio, this has been added on Today's Top Hits and even managed to reached Top 50 on Spotify US. (No ample time to dig further, but I'm basing this on some initial posts in this thread.)
How this was rolled out is pretty much similar to "Am I Wrong", "Waves" (Robin Schulz radio edit), "Mine" - with following on streaming even before radio took a chance on them.

Isn't he self represented? Doubt he has much to dish out payola.

I love this song, and it hasn't burned on me after being on my playlists for over a year. I was dumbfounded how it wasn't already a big hit awhile back. Glad to see it managed to breakthrough to the mainstream on some level, regardless of wherever it peaks.

This should hit #11 in the next few days as God's Plan is free falling.

Couldn’t be happier! I’ve been rooting for this song for about a year. I was just hoping it would make Top 40

Isn't he self represented?. Lololol what on earth would make you think he’s self represented? He is an independent artist. This song is released under his own label and partially by a business. Neither of which would have the money or power to do much behind the scenes pulling. Especially when the business (note: not label) he is with specializes in helping artists obtain royalties in Europe. He has a great set up for obtaining royalties, but said business doesn't aid in promotion and marketing, that would be under his own independent label, and I can't find anywhere that confirms or denies the existence of a promotional/marketing team. I mean, I'm sure he has a manager, but a manager can only do so much without a marketing team. He has a great set up for publishing and obtaining royalties, but he doesn't appear to have much of a marketing team behind him. Now I guarantee he's not footing the bill to everything himself. There is likely some sort of help coming from someone or something, but he certainly isn't in any position similar to most other artists obtaining hits right now which have large marketing teams behind them that can aid in a push with money. His situation seems pretty in line with Macklemore in that he's independent with an asterisk.

I’m not doubting your technical accuracy, I’m just not sure it’s possible for someone with a song about to be top 10 on the chart, who is touring, 500k followers on Instagram (I mean I *see* his sponsored ads) to be unrepped.
He’s 10000000% repped. It’s not possible he’s not. He may just not have a technical major label recording contract — which I still doubt.
Like you said, Macklemore, but with massive asterisks.
