Miguel on the viral revival of Sure Thing, his first-ever UK Top 10 single: "Kids are making dances to a song I made when I was a kid!"
officialcharts.comMiguel, one of the vanguards of tasteful, lo-fi R&B in the early 10s, has just scored his first-ever UK Top 10 single. But there's a catch - it wasn't his breakthrough hit Adorn, or even his sensual link-up with Mariah Carey, #Beautiful.
Instead, Miguel's 2010 single Sure Thing has seen a rapid journey up the Official Singles Chart this year, fueled by the popularity of a sped-up clip of the song currently doing the viral rounds of TikTok.
It's a trip, but one Miguel is embracing. In his mind, the way a new generation of people are discovering his music is similar to how he learned of his own tastes, by his parents playing him their vinyl records.
Now, though, they make a 30 second TikTok video. "This is just a new way of taking what we've learned from people and showing that off," he says. "It's a testament to how music is kept alive by humans." Thank you!
