Madison Beer released “Selfish” on Friday, February 14. Fifteen days later, the resonant song crossed the 5 million mark on Spotify.<\/p>\n
By the end of Saturday, February 29, “Selfish” boasted a global Spotify streaming count of 5,207,997. The achievement is particularly impressive given that “Good In Goodbye,” not “Selfish,” is Beer’s official single.<\/p>\n
Granted, the success is certainly deserved. Featuring vivid and personal lyrics, an engaging melody, and a powerful, emotionally nuanced vocal performance, “Selfish” is an undeniably fantastic song. Headline Planet raved about “Selfish” in its official review<\/a>, calling it the best release of Beer’s career — and possibly the best mainstream pop release thus far in 2020 (a distinction it has not lost in the weeks since its release).<\/p>\n
