Back That Up To The Beat - the new viral TikTok shart hit

[lolly]

Darling we can ALWAYS judge

We're just too old for anyone to take notice

Darling we can ALWAYS judge

We're just too old for anyone to take notice

My mantra for 2023!

It's more than a bit shit, isn't it?

I mean I don’t agree with the above quote, and this wasn’t even a cheeseburger.

I fear Madonna is more PUMPKIN that McDonalds these days.

 

[COB]

Imagine THOSE TripAdvisor reviews

We’re too old to judge

So is she by the sounds of it

 

[VV]

It sounds like it was recorded on one of those old little tape recorders that you had to attach a microphone to, to be able to hear your voice.

I'd much rather they put the Madame X version on Spotify.

 

[RS]

Put this on while cleaning, I can’t help but:

 

[OutSynk]

This Suedey U-turn™

Hold on let me listen to it for the first time as well.

 

[OutSynk]

Ah yes I remember this now.

 

[RS]

This Suedey U-turn™

I'll be drinking Krug Rosé and sometimes

I'll be wearing grills and a lot

Sometimes I can be extreme I'm never gonna STOP

Keep this party goin', we'll be 'till we DROP

 

[OutSynk]

Drop, drop, drop...
Drop that, drop that, drop that, drop that, drop that, drop that drop that
Rat-tat-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat
Rat-tat-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat
Drop... (Wait)

 

[Pipo]

This is great, top tier Pharrell but the vocal is ATROCIOUS like, MDNA levels of bad.

You were expecting something else?

#1 on UK iTunes

#1 on UK iTunes

Did she manage that with any of the Madame X singles?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Did she manage that with any of the Madame X singles?

I don’t think so
In fact I think Gambler peaking at 4 on iTunes (probably twelvety copies) may have matched Medellin’s peak

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

This isn’t actually going to be a (relatively small but) hit is it?

I noticed Bloody Mary would have been easily top 40 if it weren’t for Christmas songs last/this week, so…

 

[lolly]

I guess the streaming figures tomorrow will reveal a lot.

 

[Jark]

she's sounded much worse!

it is what it is - a demo that sounds like a cute idea for a song. I expected worse honestly. there is something quite hypnotic about it and the production and gregorian backing vox are fun.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Europe and Mexico have SPOKEN!!

Yeah it’s actually quite great as a little oddity. Perfect « B side » material in old money. Which makes the whole viral TikTok thing even more intriguing…

 

[Ig Komme]

This has 3,000 listens on Spotify so far

Sticky and sweet like a shartaccino

Well, it's over.

 

[lolly]

This has 3,000 listens on Spotify so far

Apparently that was only Australia and New Zealand?

According to ukmix

DEMO VERSION

Fri, 30/12/22: 139,502 *incl. the first 3,111 streams from AU/NZ*


SPED UP VERSION

Fri, 30/12/22: 95,571 *incl. the first 2,405 streams from AU/NZ*

 

[lolly]

I mean the numbers are still hardly GREAT though - the global #1 the day before (SZA's Kill Bill) had 6.220m streams, and the #200 had 962k.

 

[lolly]

 

[Beverley]

Listened ONCE and this creepy, wrinkly little beat lodged itself into my head.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

This has 3,000 listens on Spotify so far

Would benefit from landing on one of Spotify’s big playlists. It’s not currently on the viral hits (basically, the TikTok songs) for example.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Not being on a Spotty Fry playlist in '23 is like the ClearShannel boycott in '03

 

[Christian]

It’s for the best really.

 

[Mike(y) W]

I don't mind the demo version, in fact I very much liked it, but the sped up one is three minutes and twelve seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

 

[Pipo]

These "sped up" versions trend needs to die already. The worst offenders being Demi Lovato's and Lana's so far.

 

[RS]

The demo version is the only tolerable version
