US HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 19.02.25 #21
THE TOP TEN:
SZA and Kendrick are up twelve spots to 10 with '30 For 30,' and Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' has joined the top ten club at 9. Shaboozey's 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' has a loss to 8, and so does 'APT' at 7. Billie Eilish is at 6 with 'Birds Of A Feather' as Kendrick has yet another climber with 'Sqaubble Up' at 5. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars fall off the No. 1 with 'Die With A Smile' hitting 4. Kendrick Lamar and Lefty Gunplay save their top ten spot as they rise seven to 3. 'Luther' achieves a new peak of 2, but it's not enough to beat Kendrick Lamar's smash Drake diss 'Not Like Us,' which goes up 14 spots to number one for its 3rd week there, thanks to Kendrick's Super Bowl performance.
NEW ENTRIES:
68. Born Again—LISA/RAYE/Doja Cat (6/10)
Tell me why the same women who dressed up as Satan and made a whole era demonic are on a song with LISA and RAYE telling you to pray to Jesus?? This must be a joke. I suppose this'll feature on LISA'S upcoming album, and thankfully, because it's the first good single from her I've heard and Doja and RAYE both had better parts, it's giving a more 2000s to 2010s pop twist, and the rapping is giving a modern era mix. This doesn't explore new boundaries too much, but it's definitely a good step to stretch out in music while keeping their original fanbase.
61. Ordinary - Alex Warren (4/10)
Not only is this the same thing Alex has been creating over and over, but it's also super dull. I just don't get how you can make something this lacking in originality… His ideas are running out as an artist, and this shows. I'm hugely disappointed.
55. Twenties - Giveon (7.4/10)
It sounds as if SZA was a male artist. I first heard of Giveon when he collaborated with Teddy Swims on 'Are You Even Real.' It turns out he has many views before this, though, with his most popular YouTube video amassing 437M views at the time of writing, and this sounds promising for anyone who came for the realness felt by him on the Teddy Swims collab; the heartbreak is expressed well and feels correctly approached. Keep up the good work!
