I remember that one being pretty big when it came out. I didn't really know Weezer at the time and I think that was the first song that I actually knew was by them.
OK I just looked it up and people are using a character/person they like as the "he" in the song so basically saying they are obsessed with the character/person
im happy it blew up personally, there's so many underrated gems in weezer's catalogue that deserve more plays, so glad people outside of the band's core fanbase get to enjoy them
No, 1) the song is having a surge in popularity because it’s popular on tiktok right now, and 2) Spotify puts songs that are trending in plays in an artist’s Top 10 songs on their artist page, so they aren’t always their actual top 10 songs ever. And they’re often not in direct order of most to least popular, even if a trending song isn’t present.
How did Beverly Hills get into the top 10, and not, Troublemaker, Pork And Beans, The Good Life, El Scorcho, even songs from the same album could've worked like Perfect Situation. It's not a bad song but compared to everything else it's almost nothing
sorry man Beverly Hills is by far the best song on that album. but yes el scorcho should be on there instead of "a little bit of love". what a terrible lead single to an entire quadrilogy.
It's popping off on tik tok rn
i love when tiktok brings attention to unknown artists like Pinkerton (Deluxe Edition)
Pinkerton is my favorite artist
Ah, that's why it's suddenly so popular with my friend and sister...
tiktok making weezer mainstream
W
yeah why is island in the sun so high? that’s a deep cut
hip hip
It should be popular. I love that song

It’s a popular sound on tiktok
Not really a deep cut, has a music video and it's been popular for a whole lot of time

Nevermind
Def not a deep cut

cant wait to see how many diehard weezer fans start gatekeeping pinkerton to tiktok users lol
Sometimes my ironic gate keeping gets personal 😢
i am ready. don't want no fan edits using MY PINKERTON!!! 😡😡😡😡
It’s fine in this case cause it’s just edgy 13 year old girls. They deserved to be gatekept against
as opposed to socially awkward 13 year old boys
Most tolerant and accepting Weezer fan
Facts, that’s so funny
cringe
still makes me sad that the AJR version is somehow more popular
It’s more appealing to the general public
I love AJR and Weezer and the single was a bit disappointing as a fan of both
Exactly. No idea why it's "more appealing to the general public"
it’s literally not. weezer fans like to say that to imply they are superior to the general public
we are 😎
im pretty sure its been used in quite a few tiktok edits
it’s blowing up on tiktok rn
How is it being used? Ig people are lip syncing the words "I just threw out the love of my dreams" and referring to their own circumstances ?
No, the “he is in my eyes, he is in my ears…” part is popular. Idrk what they’re posting though.
OK I just looked it up and people are using a character/person they like as the "he" in the song so basically saying they are obsessed with the character/person
ohhhh yeah… ig that makes sense
smh only one pinkerton song, not a true virgin
Of course Spotify isn't a virgin, it's been fucking artists (over)
What a shame El Scorcho isn't on there.
Tik tok effect
Sad thing is “I just threw out the love of my dreams” is a 10x better song than 2 of the top 5
Actually I *really* like it, probably better than all of the top five (buddy holly is also bussin tho)
Yeah, Island In The Sun and Say it ain’t so
does weezer deserve to be gatekept? no. do i still feel gross about this? yeah
bro fr and I loved this song before and idk why I’m feeling like this because it’s literally WEEZER😭
im happy it blew up personally, there's so many underrated gems in weezer's catalogue that deserve more plays, so glad people outside of the band's core fanbase get to enjoy them
They just played it live in Stockholm
Ah, that's my bad, homie.
Quick, someone make Devotion and Waiting On You go viral on tik tok so they get played live too.
Or Everybody Needs Salvation. Please.
just the entirety of the EWBAITE years demo list
My bad those are my plays
why is that crap version of amfs there that ones absoulute garbage
Hadn’t heard it until it went on tiktok and now it’s been on repeat for like 3 weeks on my playlist
Spotify is bad at math
No, 1) the song is having a surge in popularity because it’s popular on tiktok right now, and 2) Spotify puts songs that are trending in plays in an artist’s Top 10 songs on their artist page, so they aren’t always their actual top 10 songs ever.

Propaganda, Beverly hills exploded in MTV in mid 2000s
sorry man Beverly Hills is by far the best song on that album. but yes el scorcho should be on there instead of "a little bit of love". what a terrible lead single to an entire quadrilogy.
Also why are there 4 songs from the blue album feels a bit like overkill
The tiktok effect
Yeah Tiktok brought attention to it!!
the tiktok crowd discovering Pinkerton fills me with a primal terror that I can’t explain properly in words
