6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj - Trollz

Just thought I would comment that this song is not available on 7digital, Qobuz or Tidal. Instead it is only available on Itunes or Nicki or 6ix9ine's official website.

It just hit #1 this week, but with the current pace of #1's we have this year, I give this a week before some new song comes bursting on the chart at #1 and this drops out of the top 10 as fast as it came. Bets anyone?

P.S. I usually don't comment about the likability of new songs, but this won't be on my recurrent list of 2020 songs to play, let's leave it at that...

At the very least, “Torn Between Two Lovers” now has a serious
challenger.

I would have to second you on the Harlem Shake by Baauer. I still can't believe it hit #1 for 5 weeks in 2013!

Bought the download from 6ix9ine's website for 69 cents.
It will let choose FLAC, WAV, and MP3 when you receive
the email link to download. I downloaded all three to
compare them.

The FLAC and WAV are identical and definitely higher
bitrate than the MP3 when viewed in Cool Edit's Spectral
View. But, as is so common these days, it does look like
a lossy sample could have been used within the lossless
song.

The iTunes download is also priced at 69 cents, likely
as part of an effort to get the song to #1. 6ix9ine
had expressed his displeasure at 'Gooba' not getting
to #1, even publicly accusing Justin Bieber and Ariana
Grande of timing their release of 'Stuck With U' to
deprive him of the #1 spot, which defies logic since
'Gooba' only reached #3.

There were examples in the CD-single era of singles
being priced at 99 cents to get them up the charts.
The CD single for the infamous "Lost In You" by Chris
Gaines retailed for 99 cents, as did Mariah Carey's
"Loverboy". ("Loverboy" was being mostly ignored by
radio when Virgin decided to issue the 99 cent CD
single. When Columbia learned of Virgin's plans, they
moved up their planned release of the CD single of
Destiny's Child "Bootylicious", which I believe was
sold at full price. "Loverboy" would spend two weeks
at #2, out of a total of only four weeks in the Top
40, kept out of the top spot by "Bootylicious".)
