A 2016 single by Francis and the Lights, "See Her Out (That's Just Life)," is Shazam's Biggest Mover this week. The track comes from Oakland native and project mastermind Francis Farewell Starlite's debut album, Farewell, Starlite! (KTTF Music), which saw production by Benny Blanco, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and BJ Burton (Francis pictured in preview).
Sliding into the #2 spot is The Weeknd's latest single, "Timeless" f/Playboi Carti (XO/Republic), the second taste of his forthcoming sixth album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The song is already making waves on DSPs; it currently sits at #1 on both Spotify U.S. and Apple Music.
At #3 is "Strange" by British singer-songwriter Celeste. Originally released in 2019, it wound up serving as the lead single of Not Your Muse (Both Sides/Polydor), which wasn't issued until 2021.
J. Cole's 2013 single "She Knows" f/Amber Coffman and Cults lands at #4. Floor Cry's 2017 cover of The Turtles' "Happy Together" rounds out the Top 5. As for us, we prefer to do our crying standing up.
