Doechii’s Double Dose of ‘Anxiety’: Her Solo Version Debuts, Joining Sleepy Hallow’s on Hot 100
Doechii’s “Anxiety” debuts the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 22) at a new career-best No. 13, joining Sleep Hallow's update on the chart.
With “Anxiety” then available only on YouTube, Brooklyn rapper Sleepy Hallow co-opted its hook for the chorus of his own “A N X I E T Y.” Billed to Sleepy Hallow featuring Doechii, the 2023 release has experienced a TikTok-led surge in recent weeks, as users have soundtracked the “A N X I E T Y” chorus to a scene of Smith and Ali dancing in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Smith-led sitcom that aired on NBC in 1990-96. Notably, “Anxiety” and “A N X I E T Y” prominently sample Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” (featuring Kimbra), the smash that topped the Hot 100 for eight weeks in 2012 and went on to win two Grammy Awards, including record of the year. (Generally, mixes of a current release roll up into one entry for chart purposes, although in certain cases, such as an act being billed as a lead on one version and a featured artist on another, they remain separate.)
