Old Town Road felt bigger and more organic. But good for Billie! Her team did a great job pushing her!

Senorita at 3 even after so much hopeless promo. 🙄🙄.

Old town road and senorita  are bigger than bad guy ...

Billie did what? She did that!

 

Also, global hits? I've barely heard some of those songs ONCE and by mistake, and I do listen a lot of radio stations

I mean, these are the official numbers from the organization that represents the music industry worldwide, so no, they didn't sell more globally.

See you again taste? 

[Andreu 37,216]

I am surprised at how high the numbers are... wow

[Animal Claws 18,665]

Ew

Even tho there are waaaaaaay better songs on the album, success-wise this is well-deserved  .

But "[...]was backed by the Justin Bieber remix[...]" - this remix did nothing to bad guy's success

I've probably said this a million times but I'm still in such shock and awe whenever I see stuff like this. I was  like her 10th follower on my streaming service. How she exploded into the most successful artist out there is SO beyond me and I'm so proud of her.
