*The Harlem Shake somehow has become popular again, thanks to Baauer’s track, “Harlem Shake.”
It’s actually the number one song according to Billboard’s new Hot 100 chart, but it’s not getting any radio play.
Labeled Trap music, this song has nothing to do with Harlem or the Harlem Shake dance. By the way, Trap is a genre that blends Hip Hop and electronic dance music with some bumpin’ bass beats.
You may understand why it’s not being played after listening to it.
Released on May 22, it didn’t become popular until recently, when fans began posting themselves dancing to the repetitive beat.
YouTube says the popularity of the song is primarily due to the online viewing site’s new tactics, which include playing official videos.

“My grill keeping out coming out”…..LOL
These new Billboard charts are so bogus!! How in the world can a song be the # 1 song in America and no radio station is playing it. Yes, the “Harlem Shake” song should chart on the Hot 100, but it should not be # 1!! It’s just as downright, absolutely freaking ridiculous as that “Thrift Shop” song by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis being # 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Yes, the “Thrift Shop” song should chart on the R7B/Hip-Hop chart, but it should NOT be # 1 if R&B/Hip-Hop radio is not playing it like a # 1 song. The Billboard charts are a total JOKE!!
