Not only have the
Swifties mobilized for
Kamala Harris, but the
BeyHive appears to be rallying behind the veep, too. After Harris began using
Beyoncé's 2016 single "Freedom" f/
Kendrick Lamar for her presidential campaign in July, the song saw a huge surge in popularity. It's now
Shazam's Biggest Mover of the week.
Taken from the album
Lemonade (
Parkwood/Columbia), the track contains the lyrics, "Freedom! Freedom! I can’t move/ Freedom, cut me loose!," an appropriate battle cry for the impending election.
In the #2 spot is "You Only Get What You Give" by the
New Radicals. That 1998 single
got some help from the Dems earlier this month when Second Gentleman of the United States
Doug Emhoff used it as his entrance song at the
Democratic National Convention.
The single "Taste," by
Sabrina Carpenter, whose highly anticipated
Short n' Sweet arrived on
Island 8/23, lands at #3. The track was accompanied by a
Death Becomes Her-themed
video starring
Wednesday actress
Jenna Ortega that has already racked up more than 33m
YouTube views.
Respectively rounding out the Top 5 are
Don Toliver's "NEW DROP" (
Cactus Jack) and
Cash Cobain's "problem" f/
Laila! (
Giant Music). In the words of Porky Pig, "That's all, folks!"
