Well damn. I wish radio could react this quickly to actual viral songs/songs that are doing big streaming numbers.

As I've said before, I prefer his retrospective and simpler stuff but "Bad Habits" is alright. Whatever success it can achieve is fine.

The fact that this is already in the top 10 is scary… Why? It’s great! bc it was so quick and was just released what not even a month ago?? There was no build up and will burn out on audience, to be quite fair it’s not all that good of a song.

I haven't heard this myself yet, although I'm sure I will soon enough because those radio updates are just absurd. But fwiw I did see a handful of people (not on Pulse) say this was serving poor man's Weeknd when they first heard the song/saw the video in full, so for whatever it's worth Mario is not alone on that. I just find it funny that almost everyone seems to 'hear' something else besides whatever this song is and all the things people are hearing are so wildly disparate from each other. So I just stumbled my way into hearing this because it was on a playlist I was listening to and...don't laugh at me y'all but this is SO poor man's Weeknd lmao. It feels like Ed was vibing to After Hours and said to himself 'I could put my own spin on that' but his idea of spin was slowing down the beat, watering down the production and pitch shifting his voice. It all ends up making the song feel like a generic 80s-lite influenced beat and The Weeknd is already king of the 80s-lite influenced beats, so it's not the most illogical jump for someone's brain to make. But accuracy or inaccuracy of Weeknd comparisons aside, I get now why people keep hearing so many other things that seem to contradict each other. It's like the aural equivalent of an underpainting that lets the listener's ear paint whatever they want to hear on top of it. I'm sure if I gave it enough listens I'd hear something else. I don't dislike it but it also doesn't feel particularly distinct. I wish I agreed with the Lay It All On Me comparisons because that's by far my most favorite Ed song, but other than an identical tempo Bad Habits doesn't capture that essence for me.

To Cynthia's 'aural equivalent of underpainting' point, my brain went straight to September's 'Cry For You' (a distinctly not-Weeknd European dance-pop song).

I thought it was super interesting how he mentioned this wasn’t going to be the lead single and he had a more lowkey, acoustic song prepped to launch the album. I’m intrigued to know what that was/is.

It's amazing how quickly this shot up into the top ten. Who else can do this with a lead? Adele? Maybe Taylor Swift based on how quickly Me! and the leads prior to it rose into the top ten? Rihanna?

Already a big hit for Ed, by the time it enters callouts it won't matter (well, will be a factor in longevity I'd guess).

Wow. Already 81 million plays on Spotify. 💀 This goes to show that when you have a massive following, even mediocrity can succeed.
Not a terrible song, just there, like P!nks All I Know So Far. Production could be hell a lot better on both. If that’s the lead, I’m nervous what the follow ups are, but I’ll save my judgment for then. 😚

All three mentioned could do it with a Pop track, but Rih and Taylor have kinda moved on. Weeknd has done it in the past too with "Starboy".

I’m intrigued to know what that was/is. How is this not the lead single when it got full lead single treatment, radio deals and a huge ass budget video? I’m confused.

Ed just said he was going to release another song first but changed the plan to go with this.

I'm glad this is smashing. People were thinking his career was over after Afterglow's performance but i'm glad he's proven them wrong. Go King! :kii:

People were thinking his career was over after Afterglow's performance who is that? If true that was delusion lol. There was no way to naturally decline from No. 6 Collaborations into oblivion. (And this is set to do better than all the No. 6 singles bar "I Don't Care").
