WHAT IS MIKE POSNER’S SINGLE ‘I TOOK A PILL IN IBIZA’ ABOUT?

Yesterday, Reddit was abuzz with a discussion on Mike Posner’s latest single ‘I took a pill in Ibiza’. The single surged to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week and #1 on the UK official singles chart, setting the stage for his appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this evening, and today’s announcement of theMay 6th release of Mike’s long-awaited second album, At Night, Alone.

The reddit thread talked about what song Posner was referring to when he said "I get along with old timers 'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot" The most popular comment stated that he was referring to his own song "Cooler than me." Which he feels he is most associated with.

Mike Posner released his debut album, 31 Minutes to Takeoff, on August 10, 2010. The album spun off three hit singles including the double-platinum Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit “Cooler Than Me” (over 50 million YouTube views to date); the platinum Top 10 follow-up “Please Don't Go” (over 36 million YouTube views to date); and then “Bow Chicka Wow Wow.”  Mike is also known for writing the Grammy®-nominated “Sugar” by Maroon 5, and “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber, as well as co-writing songs for Pharrell, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Nelly, TI, Snoop Dogg, Avicii, Nick Jonas, and more.

Justin Bieber's Sorry breaks massive all-time UK streaming record

Justin Bieber’s Sorry from his  fourth studio album  ‘Purpose’ scales new heights on the streaming front, becoming the first act in Official Chart history to hit 100 million streams of a song in the UK.

Sorry, the second of three Number 1 singles from current album Purpose, scoops the accolade of the most-streamed song in Britain since Official Charts Company records began. Spending two weeks at the top back in October, the track has remained a firm favourite with UK music fans having never left the Official Chart in the 33 weeks since its release.

Official Charts Company Chief Executive Martin Talbot comments:

“It has been an extraordinary few months for Justin Bieber and this new streaming landmark really tops the lot. For ‘Sorry’ to become the first track in Official Chart history to pass the 100m mark is a record which can never be taken away from Justin  - it is, perhaps, the four-minute mile of music streaming. A remarkable feat, a first which will be Justin's record forever.”

No stranger to record-breaking chart feats, Bieber became the first recipient of the Official Chart Record Breaker Award earlier this year to mark his achievement of holding positions Number 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously on the Official Singles Chart, with Love Yourself, Sorry, and What Do You Mean.

Both What Do You Mean and Love Yourself are also a whisker away from the 100 million streams milestone on 98.6 and 94.3 million streams, and expected to cross the line in the coming weeks.
