Kinda reminds me ZTT Records in the 80’s releasing multiple versions of a single with different mixes over the course of several months to goose its chart longevityNot complaining, ofc, we got some good remixes - and chart placements - out of that practice

i honestly thought the bieber remix of “bad guy” would vault it to no. 1 but now....

billie’s remix is more akin to early 10s trends in chart goosing — missy on katy perry’s “last friday night,” kesha and nicki on “til the world ends” etc

to add to ppl's case studies about what normies irl think abt this song: apparently one of my cow*rkers (in her 50s) thought that it was a billy ray cyrus song that simply featured 'a rap guy'. when the original version played on the radio and ended w/o cyrus's vocals she thought the station must have decided to edit him out/fade the song out early

The country-rap song they did let on the country charts is dreadful.

“The Git Up,” he’s said in interviews, is part of a sound he calls “trailertrap” — “country music with 808s, hi-hat snares, kick drums and beatboxing.”

i'm sure elementary school gym classes have been needing new material for a while
i assume it will be on top of billboard's country chart for ages, regardless of how much (little) country airplay it ends up scoring
― dyl, Saturday, 13 July 2019 14:03 (four years ago) link
i find it odd that the 'country-trap' label is being used for that tune tho, and apparently accepted/repeated. if that song is 'country-trap', then so is "body like a back road"

You'd have to like the song to really like these words; I do, and I do.
As the late great Hunter S. Thompson would say, it’s a savage journey to the heart of the American dream. It defines the yeehaw state of mind. At a moment of nationwide apocalypse, it’s a love letter to everything that used to be cool about this once-proud land, the final stand of the last great American jukebox hero.

the sub-two minute "Seoul Town Road" BTS remix feels like it should carry this for two more weeks at #1 and then (maybe?) he can lean into rodeo/panini with a video or something? both those tracks are slipping and i dunno if he missed his window to transition into the next hit or not.
