And did I mention that remix? The remix is a very big deal. Well … TikTok, plus the involvement of a stubbornly persistent thirtysomething pop star who jumped on a younger cohort’s bandwagon to score his first chart-topper in 11 years. And though it didn’t repeat “Fantasy’s” accomplishment of debuting in the chart’s top slot-a feat that has lately become rather commonplace-in a way it’s more unique: the first No. 1 hit that, even more than hits by Lil Nas X and Roddy Ricch, can almost fully be attributed to TikTok. Speaking of perky, chirpy, sample-based bops, the No. 1 song on our current Hot 100 is very perky, very chirpy, and in its own way, it’s as cutting-edge as “Fantasy”: built from the ground up out of a sample and powered to the top of the Hot 100 by a remix.
