I only have access to top 50 and it's not top 50.

Each Bieber single being slightly bigger than the previous. What a huge era

Since when is song quality determined by the color of skin? You seriously amaze me

The thing with Panda is that its quite a hilarious song with the background vocals, the bit where he says panda on loop, etc.

Its like with CoCo or The Fox or something like that, they make people laugh so they go viral.

I think they are referring to the songs lyrics.

^this. like 70% of the music i listen to is made by white artists anyway. i am referring the the style of the song, which i can find no better way to describe than "white".

this honestly expalins a lot on why you don't like panda. these are some of the safest, most easy-listening artists ever. not saying they're bad, i liked at least a song from most of these artists, but i can't imagine liking them for too much. i like some more flavor in my music, even if songs like Panda don't sound *traditionally* good for pop listeners i just feel the need to escape the 2847th Adele/Sam Smith/Coldplay song and listen to something that provokes a reaction from me, except boredom.

And what kind of reaction does "Panda" evoke??? All I hear is "Panda, Panda, Panda" with what sounds like Lil John screaming in the background...

Troye Sivan, "Youth"

After building his rabid following online, the pop singer-songwriter earns his first top 40 hit on the Hot 100, as "Youth" rockets 58-23. Adding the Hot 100's top Digital Gainer award, the track powers 45-11 on the Digital Songs chart, up by 206 percent to 56,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 17, according to Nielsen Music, aided in part by 69-cent sale-pricing in the iTunes Store. "Youth" additionally enters Streaming Songs at No. 47 (4.8 million U.S. streams, up 8 percent) and grows by 21 percent to 12.8 million in radio audience. Since launching his official YouTube channel in 2007, Sivan boasts nearly 4 million subscribers and has drawn 240 million worldwide views for nearly 150 posted clips.

Desiigner, "Panda"

The rapper soars into the Hot 100's top 40 (72-33, with top Streaming Gainer honors) following his signing to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam, announced Feb. 11 by Kanye West at Madison Square Garden. "Panda" enters Streaming Songs at No. 24 (7 million U.S. streams, up 75 percent). It also climbs 10-7 in its fourth week on the Hot Rap Songs chart.

Zayn, "Like I Would"

Ahead of the release of his first solo album, Mind of Mine (March 25), the former One Direction singer-songwriter debuts at No. 55 on the Hot 100 with "Like I Would," fueled by its debuts on Digital Songs (No. 31; 26,000) and Streaming Songs (No. 42; 5.6 million). It's the third song from the set to hit the Hot 100, following the No. 1-debuting "Pillowtalk" (now at No. 6) and "It's You," which spent a week on the survey at No. 59 two weeks ago.

Shakira, "Try Everything"

The Zootopia soundtrack single pushes 66-63 in its second week on the Hot 100, up by 37 percent to 4.1 million U.S. streams for the tracking week. Since its March 4 opening, the animated Disney film (featuring Shakira's voice) has grossed more than $200 million domestically and nearly $600 million worldwide.

Jonas Blue featuring Dakota, "Fast Car"

Jonas Blue has put the "fast" in "Fast Car," as Tracy Chapman's folk classic, which rose to No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1988, returns as a dance track. The new "Car" motors in at No. 100, fueled by 3.5 million domestic streams in the tracking week. It also holds at its No. 7 high on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.

First of all I listen to all genres. I grew up on urban music when it was still good. That **** today is terrible and the guy sounds like Future. You truly Stan for terrible music and there's no way around it.

how is sounding like Future a bad thing? Also good thing you found a way to objectively say that a kind of music is bad. unfortuately music is subjective. i just tried to explain why i personally like Panda.

Music is subjective but Stressed Out is the worst song you ever heard right? As I said your taste in music is terrible, also you said Stressed Out lyrics was dumb and nothing made since but you like a song like Panda.

Praying for Costea.

How is Stressed Out "white and "privileged"? What?!

Those lyrics could be applied to literally anyone. For example, college kids period could relate to those lyrics regardless of their race. You could argue lower socioeconomic classes would be more "stressed out" than listeners in higher classes, but that's nitpicking and not what music is about anyway.

The lyrics are pretty universal, hence it's broad appeal.

I'm not understanding your approach.

The lyrics to Panda are simple but they make sense and are fun to hear.

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

so they just admitted they suck. that didn't take long

I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think

who even said that? who told you all your fears will shrink? that person is a complete idiot. Also, yeah, you generally care what people think when you are insecure. that is just obvious.

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think

this makes no sense unless you know what Blurryface stands for, otherwise it's meaningless. bad lyric.

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out

this part is just clicheic

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?

that's a weird way to put it, but i get it i guess? so what you mean is...

I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, cause we have the same nose, same clothes, home grown, the stone's throw from a creek we used to roam

WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? why would you make a candle out of it? Why would you try to sell it? You know you don't have the same nose as your brother, right? I get what you mean, that smell is making you nostalgic, but was there no better way to put it?

But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter

kill. me.

Firstly this is really US-centric. Europe has no problem with student loans.

Secondly, are tree houses really a thing people build? I thouhgt it was a cartoon cliche.

Thirdly, that pun is terrible.

Fourthly, this is called the false dilemma logical fallacy.

Used to play pretend, give each other different names, we would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space

yeah, literally everyone did those things. doesn't mean you actually had any chance to become an astronaut.

"Fast Car" helped by streaming to be an US hit, despite its European sound

Yeah Bieber has been dominating since day 1 of the Billbord year and with multiple smash singles all which are still charting. With Company slowly rising and could be another potential top 10 or 5 hit. I think that could lock it in for him

Company could be top 5 with a new video.
Will it have one?
But I see a top 15 if there's not actual promo.

It's probably the last hit of this era so I hope they handle it properly

This week’s chart drama comes from the Digital Songs leaderboard, where Epic’s Meghan Trainor is in a tight race with the current champ, Warner Bros.’ Lukas Graham. Both Trainor’s “NO” and Lukas Graham’s “7 Years” are headed to a weekly total somewhere in the 125-130k range.
