Roseanne's my fave, but I think Jennie had the best solo single. Lalisa is catchy but mostly I just remember her saying her name many many times.

Still rooting for it to be #1 Global 200!

[Caviar]

It’s finally out!!!

[firefox]

I know it won't make an impact but there's new James Blunt song too. It's pretty decent.

[firefox]

He released an album.

Fancy Like remix is out, and might make a run at #1 during this tracking week:

[nathanalbright]

Nice to see the new Aaliyah album out on streaming. Time to stream "More Than A Woman" some.

[andrebra]

You’re delusional if you think a Kesha remix is gunna help a song contend for #1 in 2021, but then again, it wouldn’t be out of character for you.

PLEASE LET THE KESHA REMIX OF FANCY LIKE OVERTAKE THE ORIGINAL IN POINTS

if it has to become a hit, the bad will be outweighed with kesha showing chart success again

This is true, even if Kesha is engaging in some dark arts.

After the whole STAY debacle, just assume anytime they predict something will go to number one, it's not gonna happen

[jthentic]

It's generic but I liked the new glass animals single 😬😅
Masked wolf will be dat one hit wonder.
There's a TXT ft modsun track this week.

ALBUM: Baby keem- the Melodic Blue
Production wise the album is awesome, personally da best I've heard this year.

Kendrick's da highlight on his cousin's album 😅😅 he kills on da features (overshadows baby keem on em).

Durang activity, gorgeous, scars & vent are probably da best tracks.
Baby keem is really good with flow & also versatile but sometimes it's like hearing wallmart-Kendrick (not a bad thing tho)

Range brothers would've been huge but they tried pulling Sicko mode on dat & man the end was Goosebumps lvl bad

Overall : 8/10 the Melodic Blue > CLB & DONDA

[thegreatdivine]

Shivers isn't groundbreaking but I love that it sounds a lot more urgent than Bad Habits. Ed's vocals aren't overly manipulated like they were on Bad Habits. The chorus on Shivers is better than the one on Bad Habits and Shivers is the better-produced record. Overall, decent single.

[kimberly]

Chloe Bailey coming for 19 weeks at #1, I fear

[gikem]

Looking forward to seeing where Drake and Kanye fall on a more “normal” week.

Also, did Kworb really just decide to cut their AM tracker down to just 100 songs? If so, I’m pissed, having the top 1000+ was so helpful.

[chanman]

Looks like a sloweee kinda week. Drake should be able to hang around abit more.

Stranger things have happened.

[chartfreak]

I've never really been an Ed Sheeran fan, but really like Bad Habits and I liked Shivers on first listen and it's not often I like a song on first listen.

[rainygirl]

Have Mercy!!! Holy cannoli … Chloe delivers

[lugus15]

It does seem like Fancy Like is going to reach #1 in the coming weeks. It looks like it's going to pull a OTR, maybe not as big.

What a shame, was hoping the first number 1 country song we’d have in a while would be good but I don’t know if it does get to 1.

unfortunately most number 1s now are mediocre at best

Yeah, I don’t think anyone expected a Billy Ray Cyrus remix to have the power it did. Granted the Kesha remix definitely doesn’t make the song much better.

Speaking of Fancy Like Unfortunately having a chance at going #1. When Was the last time a Country Song went #1 on billboard?

The last “true” country song to hit #1 was Amazed by Lonestar in 2000. Need You Now, Meant to Be, and Forever After All came very close to doing so since then.

EDIT: I suppose you could count Inside Your Heaven, but that’s more a pop ballad by a country artist than an actual country song.

LeeAnn Rimes came close too

Old Town Road

But in all seriousness, Amazed went to number one but Carrie Underwood was the last country act (besides Billy Ray) to go to number one with her cover of Inside Your Heaven. It might not be "totally" country but it is a bonus song on her debut album, truthfully it's not all that different from Jesus Take The Wheel, and I don't think a power ballad is out of the realms of country music .

Her hitting #2 in 1997 doesn't fall under the "since then" of 2000, though.

Taylor Swift could be in the group of close to #1 "since then," though. "You Belong With Me" hit #2.
