I heard the first three notes in a supermarket and knew the whole song before I could name it. That is a specific kind of successful.
Havana
A slow-burning single named after Havana, where the singer was born, which climbed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the first song by a female artist since 1996 to top three separate Billboard charts at once. The record's entry for a hit that arrived by radio and stayed by algorithm.

The record notes the triple chart-topping, which is the sort of statistic that only exists because someone was keeping several lists at the same time.

Playing over the tannoy in a garden centre in spring 2018, where a woman in the seed aisle sang the 'ooh-na-na' and then looked around to see if anyone had noticed.
