idgi

ask ann i guess

in any case, this was my reminder to finally listen to the new Sremmurd, which i will do now as penance.

(reading your comments with whiney earlier regarding spongedoodlebob rap evolution while listening to Start a Party is clearly the RIGHT WAY to get into this album)

wow so this is fucking great huh

the bass is pure on this record

i'm not gonna lie, i just jumped around my kitchen a whole lot just now

Love this.

yeah i really ended up getting into this one, seems like giant leap over the first one

it's loads better than the last one, which is saying something

You love that spotlight
That spotlight that never goes out

BLACK BEATLES | JUST LIKE US (rae sremmurd)

:-)

black beatles is the number 1 song on itunes o_O

also the number 1 song on spotify

Also the number one song of 2016

what a tune

the countermelody is more like beach boys "i get around" than the beatles

this tune is a real ear wormer

it's being used as the soundtrack to every 'mannequin challenge' video on the internet, which is some major viral shit.

i cant believe how long it took for this song to pop lol

"black beatles" is also the best song title of 2016

it might blow up but it won't go pop

"Black Beatles" hits the Hot 100's top 40 driven largely by streaming, as it bounds 25-20 on the Streaming Songs chart (9.1 million, up 11 percent

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7541878/rae-sremmurd-black-beatles-hot-100-chart-moves

The duo's single "Black Beatles" becomes the highest-charting Hot 100 title to name-check The Beatles, by an act other than the Fab Four themselves, as it rises 41-38,

What Beatles song name-checked the Beatles?

This went to 23

hey hey we're the beatles

Beatle You Can Drive My Car
I Saw the Beatles Standing There
Across the Beatleverse

etc

Let it Be(atles)

You will know "Black Beatles" has peaked when you start seeing outraged FB posts from Baby Boomers.

i cant believe how long it took for this song to pop lol

it actually hasn't been that long at all?

it hit the top 40 like two weeks after they released the video

the song came out in the summer & now its november, feels like a while to me

it has steadily risen up the charts over the period of a couple months like pretty much any hit but you should ask mike will why he didn't release it as a single until late september

amazed but so thrilled it's doing so well

would love for it to make the full pop crossover but not holding my breath

It sold almost twice as much digitally as any other song did today so I'd say a top 10 placement is pretty much inevitable at this point.

okay, for that alone i can feel warmer to black beatles now

are they still performing "up like trump"

They made a statement against Trump a while back

Nipping down the bookies to place an odds on bet of Black Beatles winning EOY

#onecanonlydream

whew! xxp

wondering whether to see these guys when they come to play in Jan. Worried I might be the oldest person there by at least 20 years though... Does it matter?
