Viral Hits

Social media hasn’t just changed how we communicate, but also what we listen to and how we hear it. With that, here’s our up-to-the-minute playlist of tracks making the leap from your social channels into the broader cultural stream. On top now is Reneé Rapp’s “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone,” a not-so-sweet track—despite the singer’s angelic vocals—from her sophomore full-length BITE ME. Here, Rapp shows her true feelings toward a lover: “I know that I’m supposed to miss you/And wish that you were here/But the more I drink, the more I think you might just disappear.” Because there’s no schedule for going viral, our editors update these selections throughout the week as needed, so if you hear something you want to hang on to, add it to your library. If it’s trending there, you’ll hear it here.
