‘Underdog’ is proving itself a winner for Alicia Keys.
The latest single from her delayed seventh album, ‘ALICIA,’ the Johnny McDaid-produced tune was released in January and only made a brief appearance in the Hot 100 at that time before slipping out of the tally for weeks.
However, after a lifeline came in the form of an Amazon-sponsored push (click here to read more), ‘Underdog’ became an anthem for essential workers in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Re-engagement from the public, alongside an aggressive promo campaign that’s seen her perform the song on a number of televised platforms in recent weeks, has spelled well for its renewed performance on the Hot 100.
See what we mean inside:
A week after topping iTunes (as we reported here), ‘Underdog’ re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 as revealed by the most refreshed edition of the tally.
Coming in at #69, the placement not only bests its previous #93 peak but also brings with it her highest occupancy on the chart since 2012’s ‘Girl on Fire’ (the song) peaked at #11. And, with improved response at radio and streaming, industry analysts suggest the lift could be just the beginning.
Could Keys be well on her way to her first top 40 hit in nearly a decade?
lmao the shade
They gave her too much Grammys
15 Grammys , really? For what? cause she can play the piano? She’s not even that great of a piano player.

She should push this song like her life depends on it.
This can be a huge comeback for her.
WE WISH YO MAMA DIDNT MAKE DAT HUGE PUSH SO YO SHÎÎT SACK OF AN XISTENZ WAS NOT PERCHED IN HEEEAHH ERRDAY LIKE CHATTY RAT FECES.

Alicia has 5 platinum albums
It’s not a curse she just can’t compete with fast food music as a Ballad Singer .
She never danced she was hot for over a decade
“Coming in at #69.”
Y’all tried it! Shady bîtches hahaha
LOL, A keys hasn’t been relevant since she tried to copy bey in ‘Put it in a FLOP song’, the poor flop remake of “Put a Ring on It”
U HAVNT BEEN RELEVANT SINCE YO FAT A** CAUSED A SHIFT IN DA SAN ANDREAS FAULT WHEN YU ROLLED OUTTA BED AND FOLKS THOUGHT DEY MIGHT HAVE TO EVACUATE DEY HOOD TO AVOID FALLIN DEBRIS – BUT NO, FALSE ALARM, JUS YO FAT A** AND VACANT BRAIN CAVITY FILLED WIV CHEETOS. ??♀️
WTF You troll you know Bey was featured on the track and they even recorded one video together, but it was ultimately shelved.
Alicia is friends with Jay and Bey stop tryin’ to put them one agains the other it won’t work they have much respect and admiration one for another!
Beyawnce is an bigass s.l.u.t like u
The shade continues.
Anywho she was just on NPR and listening to the song again… She really has some insight. Perfect timing
Why no mention of Ed Sheeran being the writer? If Costa or Beyoncé wrote this, y’all would be mentioning it up and down.
Not Country singer gabby barrett outpeaking normani’s motivation with her debut single I hope
Motivation-33
I hope- 22
A country singer with a debut single did that.
No hype, no promo, no vma performance, no expensive music video, no shoutout , nothing
Talent will always win.

??????
They hate to see it

Some people haven’t seen the inside of the billboard hot 100 since November 2019.
Shameful, just shameful.
???
LOL AFTER 7748386473733 SINGLES N A FEATURE FROM DA BABY
Normani hater f****
Biggest comeback ever
I used to love her but her latest work isn’t as inspiring and her vocals don’t do it for me anymore. Still think it’s ridiculous how Bey and Alicia have 50 Grammys and Mariah only has 5.
Less competition
Mariah Had real talent to compete with
She has an illuminatic husband
Hey yall
