What it concludes

• Drake's Search & Rescue relies heavily on a flat six and a piano lick, featuring little song development beyond dissonance.
• Songs like Boy's a Liar Pt. 2, Cupid, Beso, La Bebe, TQG, and Kill Bill rely on simple 3-chord or 4-chord loops with repeating drum beats rather than traditional bridges or choruses.
• Harry Styles' As It Was and Miley Cyrus' Flowers stand out among global hits because they feature more developed song forms with verses, pre-choruses, choruses, and post-choruses.
• Most global top 10 hits are essentially basic beats with 3-chord vamps and melodies that loop linearly.
