This week, Ryan Gosling hit the Billboard Top 100 for the first time in his life., or the US Singles Chart. The main character of Barbie, in which he plays Ken, it is his “I’m just Ken” that enters the position of n. 87 on the Billboard 100, which gives the actor this record, which complements others achieved thanks to the film Greta Gerwig starring Margot Robbie as Barbie. The song, written and produced by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, is Ken’s cry for visibility asking Barbie to look at him, complaining that in the real world – then not in Barbieland – he would be a ten or something above average. This marks the first time that Gosling, who also has his own band Dead Man’s Bones, has reached such a position.
The actor also performs another song in the film.or the Matchbox Twenty cover of “Push” who plays the guitar for Barbie at one of the film’s turning points when she is at peak performance from villains stories. This song is just one of those that helped the film’s soundtrack album climb the charts to number two on the Billboard 200, also thanks to the presence of artists such as Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, who also plays a role in the film. Sam Smith and Nicki Minaj, among others.
I’m just Ken
It doesn’t seem to matter what I do
I’m always number two
Nobody knows how hard I tried, oh-oh I
I have feelings that I can’t explain
Drives me crazy
Been so polite all my life
But tonight I’ll sleep alone
When will the movie Barbie 2023 be released: release date in Italy, cast and plot
Because I’m just Ken
Anywhere else I’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a fragile blonde life?
i’m just ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What does she need to see a man behind a tan and fight for me?
I want to know what it’s like to love
To be the real thing
It is a crime? Ain’t it hot when I’m in my feelings?
And is my moment finally here or am I dreaming?
i’m not a dreamer
Do you feel Ken-ergy?
Feels so real, my Ken-ergy

Feels so real, my Ken-ergy
