London-based duo Good Neighbours debuted on Billboard’s charts for the first time a week earlier, and now, the pair is officially a Billboard Hot 100-charting act, thanks to its debut single “Home.”
The song, released Jan. 17 via Some Action, reaches the Feb. 10-dated Hot 100 at No. 77 led by 5.8 million official U.S. streams (up 114%) Jan. 26-Feb. 1, according to Luminate. It also jumps 18-7 on Hot Alternative Songs, 23-7 on Hot Rock Songs and 28-10 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (all of which use the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100).
Good Neighbours is the new project by Oli Fox and Scott Verrill. Before releasing the song’s official audio, a portion of the track’s demo went viral on TikTok, where the band boasts over 50,000 followers. Due to the current standoff between Universal Music Group and TikTok, the sound is no longer available on the platform.
“We wanted to write a song about the moment you hold a loved one after some time apart,” the pair said in a recent interview with Zane Lowe. “It’s such a small moment that has always sparked a visceral feeling for me.”
“Home” is Good Neighbours’ first and only release so far. Outside the band, Fox has been releasing solo music since 2018. He has released two EPs: Sunburnt in 2021 and The Season in 2022. Verrill also records solo music, under the name Good Scott (previously as kwassa). He has been releasing music for nearly a decade, including three EPs: 2015’s Animals, 2017’s Wildlife and 2019’s fka kyko.
