The fact that "One Sweet Day" is dethroned by such a weird mixture of components makes it all the better.
...didn't Taylor put out a new joint recently? Where's that at?
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.

ok i'm getting sick of old town road, just let the meme die already and let another song chart, it already broke records anyway
She/they. Hirrus Clutumnus is my comfort character
I like how old Drake songs are charting again because of the glorified Greatest Hits Album he just dropped.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
This. I’m rooting for Truth Hurts to take the top spot honestly.
I think it’s safe to say Drake will win Artist of the Decade. I would rather it be Rihanna but it doesn’t seem likely at this point.
I haven’t decided on my feelings for the new Ariana/Social House song yet. I think I need to hear it a couple of more times, but from my understanding of what the message is I don’t really care for it.
Well there's a couple songs presently going round the radio that I'm really not digging.
First is that Saweetie song "My Type" (presently #37) mainly owing to proving my theory correct that modern music nowadays is 100% bereft of creativity anymore. Why? They sampled Petey Pablo's "Freak-a-Leek" for their instrumentals and filled it with generic drivel lyrics.
A second one I don't like is "Go Loko" by YG, Tyga and Jon Z (#51 presently) mainly for one reason only. It's complete and total mumble rap with absolutely Indecipherable Lyrics. The Carlos Santana style guitar rhythm is decent though.
On the flipside though I'm highly amused by a song titled "Rescue Me" because it has a bit of Mondegreen to it. Specifically in the chorus it opens with "Would you rescue me, would you have my back, take my car when I start to crack?". The Mondegreen happens here the "start to crack" bit is sometimes heard as "stop to crap". ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

The only people they say modern music sucks are the kind that are too lazy to actually look for shit they might like.
Also why are you here

About damn time
She/they. Hirrus Clutumnus is my comfort character
Of all the songs to dethrone "Old Town Road", I'm glad it was this one rather than some random song coming out of nowhere.
Freaking FINALLY! I love Bad Guy. It deserves it.
But can Lizzo please be next in line for a #1?
I think what might have happened is people just stopped listening to OTR as much, which created a vacuum bad Guy was all but set up to take.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
It will be hilarious if for the rest of the year, all the number ones will have maybe only 1-2 weeks for holding onto the spot after such a juggernaut.
Mweheheh
No “Lover” this week?
Peace is the only battle worth waging.

*crosses fingers for Lizzo to get a number one next*
Also, "Lover" is a great song (as well as some other songs from Taylor Swift's eponymous album). It's very sweet and warm in a way that only TS can do. She gets a lot of hate and all, but I can never take away the fact that she's a pretty damn good songwriter.
