I actually don't get the hate for this in any capacity. Obviously songs just aren't going to land with some people, but all the hyperbolic vitriol thrown at the track and her is just really odd to me. I think it's catchy and cute as f**k, and the updated 50s vibe is perfect. What has people so worked up? That a new artist is doing a hell of a lot better than their faves

I hope this can make The Top 10 on Pop for this Sunday's official update.

Quickly switching between my radio stations, I hear this song nearly every 5 minutes!
Right now I'm still jamming so I'm ok with it, and it is a nice change up from everything on the radio already.
Not here for the skinny shaming, but I don't understand the hate either, I agree with Technicolor Gooch that fans are frustrated that a new artist is getting so much attention, sales, and radio so quickly.

I honestly don't hear this song enough. Maybe it will take over my CHR stations this week. This is the most annoying song since "Cups.' "Stay With Me" and "All Of Me" say hi.

"Stay With Me" and "All Of Me" say hi. Those songs aren't so much annoying as they are boring.

"Stay With Me" and "All Of Me" say hi. Those songs aren't so much annoying as they are boring brilliant The two best, most beautiful ballads of the past five years are neither boring nor annoying. They're just good. As is All About That Bass. I know it's cool to be contrarian, but sometimes reality gets in the way of that. This is such a good--and, more importantly, effective song--in virtually every way.

Quick question:
Is Z100 spinning this at all? I have yet to really hear it and if they are, it's really weird how I keep missing a song so close to the top 10 on radio.

Skinny shaming is the new reverse racism.... Well, no. Reverse racism doesn't exist. Telling women they aren't real women because they have a flat ass or small boobs, or that they must have an eating disorder if they are naturally thinner than deemed appropriate is essentially "skinny shaming". Not saying this song or Meghan is necessarily guilty of this (even though I don't care for the song), but skinny shaming can't be compared to something non-existent.

You're right that reverse racism doesn't exist... but prejudice, discrimination, and regular racism are alive and well! Totally random, but I love the end of this song when she says "You know you like this bass..." I don't know why but its so sexy to me!

Is it wrong that I think it would be absolutely hilarious if someone covered this with alternate lyrics about the dangers and health effects of obesity?
I know that that definitely isn't what the song is about, but I still think it'd be very funny, especially if they parody the video as well.

Callout scores are in - and guess what? This is seeing some polarizing reactions. Debuts on the lower end of Positive (56.7%), and the third-highest Negative on the entire chart (33.1%; only "Problem" and "Come Get it Bae" are higher), but also the fourth-highest Favorite rating (behind "Stay With Me", "Rude", and "Bailando").

I hope this can make The Top 10 on Pop for this Sunday's official update. No and no. This will be top 10 for sure, and probably number one, but being on top 10 by sunday means Sia is another week out of top 10, and it's time pop catch sales and billboard on chandelier. And i'm starting to think this could block Shake it off from billboard's number one

No way. Shake It Off's streaming is going to be 3 times All About That Bass and have 3 times the sales.

Given the reactions the song has here that callout scores are pretty accurate (i predict Shake it off having similar scores). Anyway, i think this is the type of song that even bad callout scores can't stop

I don't think it's really a slam dunk that these scores are bad - could be enough that she'll slow down enough for Taylor to eventually fly right by her, but at the same time I'd say these are absolutely better than what, say, "Bang Bang" has now.

Shake it Off is taking this for sure, but it might not even have 2x the sales of AATB, let alone 3x. No way Bass does less this week than last week, and Kworb seems to think it goes all the way up to 300K. Best case scenario, SIO does 525 or so, but current estimates are 475K.

Afetr listening to the lyrics a little closer , I can see how it gives thumbs up to the natural look of woman as opposed top the anorexic one, but it could still use a lot less "booty" chanting ala hip hop style. makes me think they did that just to appeal to that hip hop rap crowd. Still; its a grower, with each listen.

Callout scores just came in/ For a track gaining so much from an unknown, you'd think they would have been in sooner? Or maybe the radio gains occurred purely based on sales/streaming.
