From their January 2020 album Lonely Generation (whose title track was posted here in 2022), here's Echosmith with the second track from the album - "Diamonds". The music video for this spoofed the Paramount Plus streaming (and now recently rerun on Sundays on the CBS TV Network as filler until scripted TV shows take over in Feb. 2024 thanks to the 2023 WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes that lasted in the Summer and early Fall) TV Western "Yellowstone"? |

From this week in 2016, it's a song by a French artist that came from her debut album "Zanaka", released the previous November. The song was re-entering the French singles chart this week at #78, and would eventually peak at #15 the following July. The song would also be used in commercials for Levi's and Mitsubishi. Here's "Makeba" by Jain. So I just found out this song hit the Top 40 in Mediabase last year, apparently because of TikTok. Nice to see it "graduate" from lost classic status. |

I've posted songs from The Lonely Island in this thread before ("Motherlover" in 2016, "I'm on a Boat" in 2021), but here's the first one to hit the Billboard Hot 100. It was the debut single from their first album Incredibad, "Jizz in My Pants", which spent one week on the chart at #72 in January 2009, after having premiered as an SNL Digital Short the previous month. Obviously, the lyrics are NSFW.
Also appearing on the Incredibad album were two of their previous viral songs for Saturday Night Live - "Lazy Sunday" (featuring Chris Parnell) and "Dick in a Box" (featuring Justin Timberlake) - though these didn't chart at the time or during their initial success.

Here's a song I would frequently hear at a local pizza place whose chorus always sounded familiar to me, and which I determined was reminiscent of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?". From his album Amore, released in late January 2006, here's Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli with "Cuando Me Enamoro (Quando m'innamoro)".
Also from the album are two songs listed in the Classic Non-Hot 100 Songs section under Bocelli's entry in Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-2018 - "Bésame Mucho" (described on Wikipedia as "one of his signature songs") and "Because We Believe" (Bocelli's theme for the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy).

Sean Paul collaborated with Tove Lo for the song "Calling on Me", which was released as a single in early February 2020, two years before it appeared on Paul's 2022 album Scorcha.

On the March 10, 2012 Hot 100, alternative band Young the Giant debuted and peaked at #95 with their song "Cough Syrup".
That same week, the Glee Cast debuted at their own peak of #65 with their remake (presumably the song's inclusion in Glee led to Young the Giant's original version charting). Darren Criss provides the vocals.

Here's a song by the Dutch house/trance group Dash Berlin called "Till the Sky Falls Down". From what I've researched online, it was released as a single in March 2008 and entered the Dutch singles chart that same month, peaking at #36.

On the last Dance Club Songs chart ever published by Billboard due to Covid lockdowns (March 28, 2020), "Forever Yours (Tribute)" by Kygo with Avicii and Sandro Cavazza climbed from #5 to its ultimate peak at #3. The song was originally an unfinished Avicii track that was completed by Kygo and Cavazza following his death.
