ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

[Caviar]

“Sweetest Pie” is fire. Basic, but very catchy.

[fridayteenage]

generic and boring.

i don't like dua, but this is bottom barrel for her.
i do like megan, and this is like if she signed on to Rumors.

[iHype.]

This is officially the worst quarter in music ever.

Megan also needs to take a break at this point.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Sweetest Pie is a bop, they literally end all men at the end of the video

[annoymous1]

Loved the visuals in this song 😍 Megan and Dua ate in terms of looks in the video!

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

The song is just fine, but the music video is something else. The concept came from Megan herself as well, like 80% of the visuals from the music video is some hot girl s**t (pun intended).

[Abbaschand]

So, is "Sweetest Pie" the next "WAP" and "Kiss Me More", or will it be the next "Wild Side" and "Rumors" instead?

Well, I listened to it, and I think it will be the former. This might be weaker than the aforementioned two, but it's still catchy.

And I believe in Meg's and Dua's star power to bring this song to the top.

Sweetest Pie, My Love, Wheelie... bopping on this fine Thursday evening

Sweetest Pie is... hmm. That's all I'll say for now. The video isn't good to me. There's simply too much happening and the visuals are weird.

This might be one of the only times I agree with you on something.

Not gonna lie, "Sweetest Pie"'s music video kinda captures the vibes of all of the four songs mentioned here

[aussie1]

Dua is the highlight for sure. Her vocals are like butter for me. Too good.

Hopefully this is the week the chart gets a shakeup. I assume lil dirk will have a big impact.

[jamatthews83]

Sweetest Pie is a bop to me, which may be the kiss of death.

Even though Maren's Nervous was exactly as described I still wasn't expecting it.

Probably won't end up being relevant this week, but a good chance of a midweek single drop from Carrie.

Sweetest Pie is fine but would have been filler on Dua's lastest album.

I don't see why Imagine Dragons needs a new single when Enemy is still rising but has yet to actually reach top 10...

Because they’re planning for a 2023 hit after it inevitably takes 40 weeks to rise to the top 10

[renaboss]

Loved "Sweetest Pie" upon first listen/viewing, which doesn't happen often these days. Surprised by the lukewarm reception here.

[Enigma.]

It's ok but doesn't compare to their best tbh. The chart success this week will be all about physical sales I think.

[fridayteenage]

ew, a cover of broadway girls is top 5 on itunes. thankfully itunes is not relevant usually these days.

Not too unusual for them. For example, IIRC, they released Thunder while Believer was still rising.

You say that like it’s a bad thing :kii:

[phieaglesfan712]

I hope Lil Durk’s album is just big enough to finally send Save Your Tears to recurrency. SYT has been out for almost 2 years now, making its debut on the 4/4/2020 chart.

[After Minutes]

The music video for Saint Jhn's best Part of Life got a big debut (1,3 mil in 24h for an artist like him is great, though I genuinely have no clue where that came from. Is it being played as an ad?). It has been doing okay numbers on streaming so far, but if it were given a proper push I could see it doing very well in general and probably chart.

Either way, I'd say I prefer that video to Sweetest Pie, which as a song is fine but the video is messy and chaotic, and not in the fun, Montero or WAP kind of way. It's like at least three different music videos combined as one in a random arrangement

[Zoibator]

Is it only me or Sweetest Pie’s chorus sounds exactly like Side Effects by The Chainsmokers and Emily Warren?

[badrobot]

I don't imagine it will chart anywhere significant, but would that Madonna Frozen remix count as a new song or would it be considered the same song as the original "Frozen" (and thus combined with the original's stats) for chart purposes?

[ontopofthis]

Meh, it is going to be like most Dua Lipa songs and receive tons of airplay but not be huge on streaming. It will go top ten eventually because of the airplay if it does not debut in the top ten, but it is not a number one song

[ontopofthis]

Speaking of potential top ten songs, Big Energy is poised to be a top ten song. Female rappers (Doja Cat, Latto, Saweetie) have really reestablished Doctor Luke as a hit maker
