You have to love how music fans are embracing new artists a lot more these days.
Two rising musical acts just reached monumental milestones on the Billboard Hot 100—achievements that signal not just commercial success, but true cultural impact.
This week, HUNTR/X’s breakout smash “Golden” has unofficially climbed into the ranks of the 50 biggest hits of the decade. Fueled by massive streaming momentum, rock-solid radio rotation, and months of chart endurance, “Golden” has cemented itself as one of the defining songs of the 2020s. What began as a viral spark evolved into a full-blown pop phenomenon.
Meanwhile, Alex Warren continues his meteoric rise, with his emotional anthem “Ordinary” now unofficially landing among the 150 biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits of all time. That places the track in rarified air—spanning over six decades of chart history and thousands of eligible songs. The accomplishment speaks not only to the track’s widespread popularity but its emotional staying power. “Ordinary” isn’t just a hit; it’s a song that listeners keep returning to, giving it the longevity needed to achieve historic status.
With “Golden” and “Ordinary,” both HUNTR/X and Alex Warren have carved their names into Billboard history. Isn’t that cool as hell?
