Love it or hate it, “Fancy Like” a.k.a “The Applebee’s Song” is Number One on the country charts this week. Here’s how the viral hit boosted Walker Hayes’ career:
. “Like, ‘Hey, I drive the same Altima,’ or ‘Hey, I love how y’all live in a normal house.’ My thought process is like, ‘Where did you think we lived? I’m not Luke Bryan or anything.’”
“You could watch it in real time,” Hayes says. “You could refresh and that dance would have 5,000 more views.” But tragedies like losing his newborn daughter had taught Hayes that putting too much stock into a plan could be foolish, and that the idea of being able to direct any of it was an illusion. Monument succeeded in getting some early adopters to play the song enough for it to chart, which eventually led to a new group of stations adding it to their playlists. “Fancy Like” is now accelerating at a furious pace: Last week, it made the biggest jump into the Mediabase country airplay chart’s Top Ten since Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman” in 2004.
