Hozier - Too Sweet

[POP!]

This has randomly exploded on Spotify. Don't think anything by him has ignited since "Take Me to Church".

"Too Sweet" sounds like it will be a hit. "Wildflower and Barley" is lovely too

How random indeed. Too Sweet is very good but there was also some strong stuff on the last album too.

 

[POP!]

#5 debut on the Hot 100

 

[FetchFugly]

Number 8 in the UK too.

I think it’s gonna be number 1 soon. I like it but I probably won’t choose to listen to it

 

[RJN]

Up to number 4 in the US this week and apparently it’s in contention for number 1 next week. It would be the first Irish number one hit since Sinead O'Connor

I've been meaning to ask Moopy why this has suddenly exploded everywhere. After the big debut years ago he seemed to have settle into middling success soft rock territory, like so many others. This is a swerve.

The Alison Russell duet is lovely.

 

[FetchFugly]

UK number one this week.

I'm BOPPING. What a comeback but, was it organic or did it go viral? Charts are so confusing these days.

 

[Funky]

It has to be social media related. It came out of nowhere.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Can confirm it is a TikTok trend. Had no idea it was Hozier though.

Need the country trend to be a flash in the pan though - there is only so many references to whisky and various other mainstays of Americana that I can tolerate in one 90 minute top 40 show.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

It was TikTok (as most things seem to be these days)

 

[RJN]

Tiktok can be organic. In this case I don’t even think it was intended to be the single

 

[RJN]

Number one in the US and UK now!

 

[Jark]

Tiktok can be organic

right! the very reason tiktok is so impactful and can't be planned as a promo method is that it is organic! songs catch on and labels by and large can't control or influence it.

Im quite surprised at how much this one has caught on!
