This is your Sunday music update to stay up-to-date on the latest music!
First, we’re going to look at the Billboard Hot 100.
At #1, we have Heat Waves, by Glass Animals. This alternative track has been on the board for over a year now. Even though the lyrics are: ‘Heat waves are fakin’ me out,’ this song’s popularity is not fake.
#2, Stay, by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber. A high energy song like this that brought LAROI to popularity is definitely going to stay a while.
Clocking in and #3, we have Big Energy, by Latto. This song is was at #11 last week, and is now at #3. This Big Energy is on a big rise.
#5 is a little bit of a comeback song, by an artist who everyone thought was done, but then came back. This song is Enemy, by Imagine Dragons and JID, and this song has Dan Reynolds hit a very high note, on ‘Enemyyyyyyy-y!’, and the song in general has also hit a high note.
Ghost, by Justin Bieber, was not the star of the album. When Justice dropped, Peaches was the one that took off. But now that the initial shock has passed, Ghost, a song that talks about losing someone dear to you, took off, and has reached number 5, though now it’s at #6.
#7. This one is… interesting. abcdefu, by Gayle, at #7. This song is a breakup song, no doubt. Gayle remade the song many different ways, with a ‘angrier’ version and a ‘nicer’ version. One is even more explicit than the original, and the other is clean. This great song peaked at number 3, but has now fallen.
#8 is We Don’t About Bruno, by Carolina Gaitan, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz & Encanto Cast. This song is… wow. A Disney song that hit and held number one on the billboard for 10 weeks, and is now entering its 15th week. This song is written by Lin Manuel Miranda. Its popularity will insure that people will never stop talking about Bruno.
At #9, there’s THATS WHAT I WANT by Lil Nas X, from his album Montero. This song has been around for a while, and talks about wanting someone to love.
Last, but not least, we have Woman, by Doja Cat. After she and SZA dropped Kiss Me More, Doja Cat maintained her popularity with this song.
And that is all for the billboard, and now, I’m going to quickly run through the Spotify Top Hits.
