'Too Sweet' is officially a bigger hit than 2014's 'Take Me To Church,' which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart
A full decade after popping up out of pretty much nowhere to help a whole generation of music lovers find god, Hozier has somehow done the unthinkable: he’s written a song on track to be even more successful than “ Take Me To Church .” Here’s something else that may be pretty shocking to anyone who lived through the era when it felt almost impossible to turn on the car radio without hearing “my lover’s got humor...”: “ Take Me To Church ” never actually hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
To finally do it again on the heels of Unreal Unearth, an album that didn’t necessarily get the buzz it deserved, for a song that was released as part of an EP for tracks that didn’t even make the record’s final cut, is pretty staggering. “I’m taken massively by surprise by it,” Hozier said today in an Instagram video thanking his listeners. “I just want to say thank you so, so much for your support... it means the world to me.
