Justin Bieber sits at #6 on the Hot 100 with ‘Daisies,’ his biggest hit since 2021’s ‘Stay.’
Singer=songwriter Kehlani is at #7, the peak spot for her single ‘Folded.’ Kehlani was a member of teen pop band PopLyfe, which placed fourth on season six of America’s Got Talent. She began her solo career in 2017.
‘Folded’ is the first single from a yet to be announced album.
This is another slow jam R&B song, a genre that seems to be in vogue these days. Recent weeks have seen no rap songs in the Top 40, a first since 1990, and I wonder if songs like this one are filling (if not responsible for) that void.
It’s so silly of me to act like I don’t need you bad
When all, all I can think about is us since I seen you last
I know I didn’t have to walk away
All I had to do was ask for space
I’m telling you, “be on your way”
When I told you to fall back
[Chorus]
So can you come pick up your clothes?
I have them folded
Meet me at the door while it’s still open
I know it’s getting cold out, but it’s not frozen
So come pick up your clothes
I have them folded
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
[Verse 2]
No matter what you do to switch the story up, I know I made my mark
And I would still choose you through it all, that’s the crazy part (Crazy part)
I don’t need no morе empty promises, promise mе that you got it
I don’t need roses, just need some flowers from my garden
Can’t you go back to how you loved on me when you started?
I’ll be here begging for ya, you should be giving me love
All damn day, ’til the day is done (Done)
So if you wanna go that way, I’ll be waiting on
[Chorus]
For you to come pick up your clothes
I have them folded
Meet me at the door while it’s still open
I know it’s getting cold out, but it’s not frozen
So come pick up your clothes
I have them folded
So come pick up your clothes
I have them folded
Meet me at my door while it’s still open
I know it’s getting cold out, but tell me that it’s not frozen
So come pick up your clothes
I have them folded
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
I’ll let your body decide if this is good enough for you
Already folding it for you
Already folding up for you
Meet Me In Montauk 
The absence of rap songs is due to the recent changes by Billboard and, I assume, a lack of new material by the dominant rap artists.
I applaud the absence of rap songs 👏👏
