![]() Carl Chery, head of urban music at Spotify, thinks it could end up being the biggest song of 2020: “If it keeps going like this, DaBaby has a shot at being in that conversation.” “The song is a perfect storm - the consumption has been through the roof, internal research has been consistently strong, and it has shown no burn on it,” says Dion Summers, VP of urban programming at Sirius XM. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs for a seventh week each. 2 on this week’s all-genre Radio Songs chart with 62.1 million airplay audience impressions. on-demand streams to date, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data - as well as a huge airplay hit, up to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 471.1 million U.S. “Rockstar” is both a streaming juggernaut - this week, the song spends its ninth week at No. Then, one song raced out to the lead, and just kept sprinting: “Rockstar,” the smash single by DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch, spends its fifth straight week and seventh total frame atop the Hot 100 this week, and is now the presumptive favorite for this year’s Song of the Summer crown. One year after Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” basically eliminated all drama from the Song of the Summer contest by spending nearly the entire season atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the 2020 showdown included multiple hits with a real shot at supremacy - from Doja Cat’s “Say So” to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” to the Lady Gaga/Ariana Grande collaboration “Rain On Me,” all of which spent at least one week at No. Both singers appeared on B ET Awards performing the song in response of George Flyod's arrest, as well as showing their support of the Black Lives Matters movement.A few weeks after Memorial Day, the race for this year’s Song of the Summer still looked like it was going to be a competitive one. Apparently, the video was inspired by the action-horro series, The Walking Dead. This represents about living the rock and roll lifestyle in the world of hip hop: “Brand new Lamborghini, f*** a cop car, with the pistol on my hip like I’m a cop / Have you ever met a real n***a rockstar? This ain’t no guitar, b***h, this a Glock / My Glock told me to promise you gon’ squeeze me, you better let me go the day you need me / Soon as you up me on that n***a, get to bustin’, and if I ain’t enough, go get the chop. The main theme is about gun violence, while DaBaby refers to himself as a “Rockstar,” referring to rocking the gat against his enemies, while Roddy Ricch illustrated his lifestyle, highlighted by big money. The clip was also balanced by a self-aware sequence when DaBaby and Ricch perform the song in an open field, with a group of zombies dancing and strumming guitars, one even plays a grand piano wearing a nice suit. The seven-minute clip shows the two rappers heavily armed and holde up in the woods, a place where they are tasked with killing the living dead. The song is based on DaBaby’s story back when he was a child, a police officer pulling guns on him, and how that incident shaped his mindset.
