“ Rumors” may not enjoy the months-long chart run that both “Truth Hurts” and “Good as Hell” scored two years ago, but its high debut suggests that future singles and a new album could very well garner the same type of buzz that Lizzo possessed during her breakthrough two years ago. Her relative silence over the past 18 months following a wildly successful 2019 has not slowed down her commercial viability, based on the widespread interest and immediate reaction to her comeback single. 4 debut of “ Rumors” indicates that, no, Lizzo was not a one-year wonder. Jason Lipshutz: In case there was any doubt, the No. In 2019, some still questioned her staying power, but what Lizzo accomplished two years ago set her career up for good. 4 debut of “ Rumors” is about what I’d expect from the hit, but I don’t think she necessarily is or ever will be back to ’19 levels - and that’s not a bad thing. Lyndsey Havens: In 2019 a perfect storm of delayed TikTok virality along with the world not being… what it currently is helped launched Lizzo into megastardom.

It doesn’t surprise me that the first song of her new musical era is already doing so well, because it’s like she never left. She’s been sharing such relatable and inspirational messages about self love, and she’s absolutely hilarious on TikTok (remember that whole Chris Evans DM situation?). While she hadn’t been releasing music over the past year, Lizzo has taken notes from her collaborator Cardi and kept herself relevant on social media since her album release.

Rania Aniftos: Yes, I think it’s just the beginning of Lizzo’s next string of hits.

Do you think she’s all the way back to ’19 levels, following the No. Lizzo was one of the biggest breakout stories of 2019, but hadn’t been heard from too much this decade thusfar. The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber's 'Stay' Leads Hot 100 for Third Week, Lizzo & Cardi B's 'Rumors'…ġ.
