The whole word is very, very “Happy”
Pharrell told Oprah he had no idea his G I R L single, “Happy”, was going to be a hit. Yeah, we don’t believe you, P.
The song, which was originally meant to help score the blockbuster animated film Despicable Me 2, has reigned supreme atop the Billboard Hot 100 as the #1 song in the country for nine consecutive weeks, which is just three weeks shy of his previous massive hit, “Blurred Lines”, on which he and T.I. assisted Robin Thicke.
Despite being incarcerated and in the midst of several potentially life and career altering trials, Chris Brown‘s latest single, “Loyal”, which has been viewed on YouTube over 40 million times, leapfrogs two spots to land inside the Top 10 in the #9 spot. Despite not being able to make a sufficient press run or perform the widely popular song on any substantial daytime or late night TV spots, award shows or tours due to being imprisoned, Chris Brown’s “Loyal” has taken off, making it his first Top 10 hit–thanks in part to Lil’ Wayne and French Montana or Tyga or Too $hort, depending on which version you listen to–since 2012’s “Don’t Wake Me Up”.
