Thanks to its commercial performance on those tallies, the Bankroll Got It-produced song entered the all-genre chart as the highest debut among all female-led songs.  The only new songs to premiere higher were Jung Kook‘s ‘Standing Next To You’ (#5) and ‘Now and Then’ by The Beatles (#7).

    An indie single did that? Great song, Megan deserves it so much 👏🏻

  3. Liam November 15, 2023

    This is dope for her since it’s left field sonically and no catchy radio hook to sing along to…congrats to Megan.

    • Adele fan November 15, 2023

      If she had radio support it would’ve been a top 15 hit because 11m streams is good plus the sales. The reason y ppl sign to labels are for radio deals n promo

      • RBRT November 18, 2023

        This is where it’s not fair. Radio deals and promos shouldn’t be allowed. Buying their way to the top. What a scam

  4. What would 50 do November 15, 2023

    The video is abit slimy with her crawling out a Cobra’s mouth. Like ewwww

  5. Bongos = FLOP, Cobra = FLOPPP‼️ November 15, 2023
