Mangu Song Jumps To Spotify's Top Chart Amid Vacuumnya Fourtwnty

JAKARTA - Fourtwnty is enjoying a quiet period with a break from performing activities. But in the middle of a hiatus, their work entitled Mangu is perched at the top of the Top 50 Indonesia Spotify chart.

This phenomenon is quite interesting because Mangu himself was released in April 2023. The song, which combines Ari Lesmana and Charita Utamy's vocals, has now been played more than 82 million times.

Mangu experienced several 'explosions' through various social media platforms. The song is so widely used as a backsound post because of its relatable and touching lyrics.

Meanwhile, before the hiatus, Fourtwnty also performed the song several times on stage. Including in their last upload on Instagram, featuring the song with the collaborator, Charita Utami.

In addition to the encouragement from social media, the success of the Mangu song was also influenced by the cover of songs by several singers. Not only is it busy being covered in cafes, this song is also often performed on TikTok, including by Kenriz and Vanessa Idol, whose number of plays has reached double digits.

The love story written in the song Mangu discusses the complexity of love for different religions. As if it became an invisible wall, this condition is depicted through poetic and stabbing lyrics, sung in writing and cut so that many feel affected by this one song.
