Netizens' reactions to The Weeknd and Ariana Grande's "Save Your Tears (Remix)" re-entering the global Spotify chart

Pop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to announce that,

"“Save Your Tears (Remix)” by The Weeknd & Ariana Grande re-enters the global Spotify chart at #171 with 1.134 million plays."

Fans jumped into the comment section of the X post to pen their opinions about The Weeknd and Ariana Grande's collaborative track and its re-entry to the global Spotify chart. Below are some of their reactions:

"This update might seem noteworthy, but in reality, it highlights how heavily nostalgia and algorithmic playlists, not renewed fan demand, often drive chart re-entries. “Save Your Tears (Remix)” is a hit from years ago — so reappearing at #171 with modest streams (just over a million plays globally) says more about Spotify’s rotation patterns than a genuine resurgence in popularity. Framing it as a “re-entry” gives the illusion of momentum, but the position is far from impactful for artists of The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s stature. For two global superstars, this performance is more of a footnote than a headline. In short: it’s a data point, not a comeback and presenting it like breaking news oversells its significance.", penned a fan.

"Oh honey, I loved the song when it came out in 2020, but that "Save Your Tears" remix with Ariana and The Weeknd? Still got me tapping my foot in the kitchen like it's 2021 all over again. Y'all young folks keep these tunes alive, makes this old gal feel 20 years younger.💃", commented another.

"1.134M plays and still going strong. This remix proves that when you put two powerhouse vocalists together, the magic never really fades", declared a third.

Others also chimed in:

"The Weeknd + Ariana never disappoint", wrote a netizen.

"1.134M streams later… yep, The Weeknd and Ariana still own the internet. 💀", noted another.

"The Weeknd and Ariana Grande proving once again that hits don’t just fade—they bounce back stronger. “Save Your Tears (Remix)” re-entering the global Spotify chart at #171 with over a million plays shows the staying power of a track that refuses to quit. While newer songs fight for attention, this one is quietly reminding the world why both of these artists dominate streams effortlessly. Some songs just have that unstoppable momentum, and this remix is living proof.", commented a third.
