Alex Warrenâs 'Ordinary' Outshines BeyoncĂ©âs Cowboy Carter and Tipsy Bars
Welcome to the Summer Song Olympics, where Alex Warrenâs 2025 earworm 'Ordinary'âreleased February 7âlukewarm-critic-proofed its way to a 10-week Billboard Hot 100 throne, sprinting from lukewarm to legendary by Labor Day. Meanwhile, Virginiaâs Shaboozey moonwalked from BeyoncĂ©'s 'Cowboy Carter' features ('Spaghettii,' 'Sweet Honey Buckiin') right into an eight-week country club banger, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' shamelessly sampling J.Kwon from 2004. Sabrina Carpenter tried storming the charts with three hits and a No.1 album but settled for 2nd to 4th placeâbecause realityâs a cruel pop diva. Meanwhile in 2023, Morgan Wallenâs 'Last Night' was the first country song to let âcruel summerâ eat dust since 1974. Summer hits: proof that nostalgia, drama, and the occasional accidental genius still sell better than taste.
