Khalid‘s ‘Talk’ has fans listening that’s for sure.
The Disclosure-produced cut – which serves as the first single from the 21-year-old’s first Billboard 200 chart-topper, ‘Free Spirit’ – has soared to the #3 position on this week’s refreshed Hot 100. The move not only grants the singer-songwriter his first top 5 placement on the tally as a leading act, but also comes as his highest charting solo single to date.
Fans familiar with his work know this isn’t his first run in the top 5 overall as he reached #3 as a feature alongside Alessia Cara on rapper Logic‘s ‘1-800-273-8255’ in September 2017.
As we cheer him on from the sidelines, look inside to see who joins ‘Talk’ in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:
