Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and Gracie Abrams have teamed up for their latest heartbreak anthem, Call Me When You Break Up. But instead of topping the charts and sending fans into an emotional spiral, the song has landed at a rather modest #58 on the Billboard Hot 100. A respectable debut? Sure. But for the ever-critical (and hilarious) corners of the internet, this was all the ammunition needed to turn the release into a meme fest.
From Twitter to TikTok, fans and critics alike wasted no time sharing their thoughts- some were supportive, some brutally honest, and some just downright savage. As expected, the internet remains undefeated in turning even the smallest chart placement into comedy gold.
Call Me When You Break Up debuts at #58 on the Hot 100
A collaboration featuring Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and Gracie Abrams should have been an easy hit, right? Gomez, a pop veteran. Blanco, a producer with an endless list of bangers. Abrams, an indie darling on the rise. But instead of storming the charts, the song slid into the Hot 100 at #58, not exactly a flop, but not the massive debut fans were hoping for.
Of course, chart positions aren’t everything. Some of the biggest songs took time to climb the rankings. Maybe Call Me When You Break Up will be a slow burner. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s destined to live forever in the hall of “songs that Twitter had too much fun with.”
It all started with the simple announcement: Call Me When You Break Up had entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #58. Seems innocent enough, right? Wrong. This was prime material for music fans with too much time and too many jokes. The post quickly gained traction, not for its celebratory tone, but for the sheer number of people who saw this as an opportunity to poke fun. One fan said, "Benny made history".
Some saw the chart position as a letdown for a trio of big names. Others simply enjoyed the irony of Call Me When You Break Up's title itself because when a breakup anthem lands outside the top 50, you can bet the internet is going to have something to say about it. And boy, did they.
Let’s just say that fans were in their brutally honest era. Some went straight for the jugular, calling it “More like Call Me When You Flop,”
While others questioned the general state of humanity with comments like,
“I think people are deaf.”
Ouch.
Then, there were those who took the song title a little too literally.
“I will call you cause I need a shoulder to lean on,”
One fan quipped, turning the heartbreak anthem into an actual cry for emotional support. Hey, maybe the song is relatable after all.
And, of course, every viral moment has its fair share of defenders. Some fans argued that Call Me When You Break Up deserved better, blaming a lack of promotion or radio play. Others reminded everyone that #58 is still a Billboard debut, which, let’s be honest, is more than most of us can say about our musical careers.
At the end of the day, whether Call Me When You Break Up was a hit or a “flop” depends on who you ask. But one thing is for sure: the internet will never pass up an opportunity to turn a moment like this into pure entertainment.
Trending
While Call Me When You Break Up may not have had the explosive debut some expected, it definitely delivered something just as valuable prime meme material. In today’s digital age, a viral moment can sometimes be more powerful than a #1 hit (okay, maybe not more powerful, but definitely more entertaining).
So, will the song climb the charts in the coming weeks? Or will it remain immortalized as “that one song Twitter roasted for fun”? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Benny Blanco has officially made history… just not in the way he probably hoped.
