Comment: There is a reason the new Bieber didn’t enter at # 1, it isn’t quite good enough. Oh, it’s good alright just not good enough. But Dua Lipa is worse. what’s better is J. Balvin, anybody born in Medellín, Colombia, you gotta think has some serious shit going down, and this pop crossover (during a period when Reggaeton is a different planet from the pop charts) does so without reaching across the aisle.
