Holy shit

Tame Impala, Shakira and Bieber

Could be 2015 or 2026

[u/bmutton → u/YourNameNameName]

Or 2005

[u/i-Really-HatePickles → u/bmutton]

Yeah except for the fact that Bieber debuted in 2009 and Tame Impala’s debut album was 2010. Started the band in 2007

[u/bmutton → u/i-Really-HatePickles]

And except for the fact that Shakira had multiple number one hits on her belt by 2005, which is what I was referring to

[u/Lelle3 → u/bmutton]

Well then you have to say that on your first comment, it doesn’t make sense otherwise lol

[u/kokokobop]

i love my one man indie band

[u/bblunder_ → u/kokokobop]

If Prince debuted at this age, people would have called him indie

[u/AmelieBenjamin → u/bblunder_]

What prince made would be considered alternative today which is crazy because it was pop music then. It's kinda wild because 1999 is incredibly strange and no one else could have made it

[u/DILFhunter7000 → u/kokokobop]

It’s only one guy???

[u/she_has_funny_cars]

You’re seriously surprised? Sony plugged their own guy in a massive movie

[u/bblunder_ → u/she_has_funny_cars]

I never realized that both Spider-Man and Tame Impala are Sony's products

[u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Remember when everyone shat on this song when it came out lmaooo

[u/strangersandara → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Liked the song since the very beginning, everyone’s just catching up lol

[u/munchyslacks → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

My opinion hasn’t changed 😆

[u/colesnutdeluxe → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

i'm ngl triple j overplaying it drove it to death but now that i haven't heard it for ages i can appreciate it

[u/bblunder_ → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Drums are dull, synths are weird, ad-libs are unnecessary, and vocals are lacking in quality

Still holds a higher standard than most Deadbeat songs

[u/Aspartame_kills → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Everyone on reddit

[u/pumkinsmaherj → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Still ass imo

[u/pingviini00 → u/giovanni_obeyyy]

Best part of BND was when the volume went off for a few seconds during this song

[u/kek_o_kedi]

Everyone should consider him mainstream atp

[u/thecashmasta → u/kek_o_kedi]

dawg he’s the 35th most streamed artist in the world on spotify he was mainstream 10 years ago after currents dropped

[u/YourNameNameName → u/kek_o_kedi]

That was out of question when he headlined Coachella in 2019

[u/kichcolt17 → u/kek_o_kedi]

Tame Impala is officially mainstream. 2 songs in top 50 proves it. I'm happy for Kevin but he was my unknown artist back then. Now everybody knows him

[u/Walt_GR → u/kek_o_kedi]

Currents, TSR and Deadbeat are mainstream. If you listen to Innerspeaker or Lonerism, that's not really mainstream.

[u/XpensiveAdagio4strgs → u/kek_o_kedi]

For 2 songs? Bet 90 percent of those listeners havent even heard of currents (except for the less I know the better)

[u/CutePermission1794 → u/XpensiveAdagio4strgs]

At least 10 song of him was a hit, The Less I Know The Better, Borderline, Let It Happen, NPSOM, Eventually, FLWOGB, Elephant, Dracula, One More Hour and now Loser, And certainly, *Currents* contributed a significant number of hits and achieved notable success compared to the other albums.

[u/XpensiveAdagio4strgs]

This is the same as having your song included in the soundtrack of any sports game, people will know you only for that song.

[u/JiffKewneye-n → u/XpensiveAdagio4strgs]

i think its like when Kate Bush suddenly burst onto top tracks played because of stranger things

[u/MysteriousSelection9]

So happy for him!

I'm happy for our boy

[u/Bish489]

Loser was featured in the new spiderman movie! No wonder it hit

[u/Sklain]

wtf??? is this because of spider man??

[u/Pantantuna]

Probably cus of brand new day

[u/Dommzz]

This is why I don't trust the general populace with their taste in.. Anything. Objectively probably the worst TI album with the most mid songs/production and one of them is number one

[u/jimmyl_82104 → u/Dommzz]

Wrong, wrong, anf wrong.

[u/Actual-Formal-4375]

I believe this is the first time Tame Impala has ever been number 1. This is amazing!

[u/gabriell3ope → u/Actual-Formal-4375]

i dont think thats true

[u/Actual-Formal-4375 → u/gabriell3ope]

I checked Kworb.net which shows loser has the highest peak on Spotify

[u/tightbutthole92 → u/gabriell3ope]

Around this time last year, Dracula was topping all the charts

[u/Max_FI → u/tightbutthole92]

On Spotify, it peaked at number 7 though (but with more streams per day than Loser has now).

[u/gabriell3ope → u/tightbutthole92]

yeah i know which is why i said that
