\n\tHarry Styles<\/a> has been transforming Madison Square Garden into New York\u2019s hottest club every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday since his 30-night residency kicked off in August. Each begins with a seamless transition from Jamie XX\u2019s opening DJ set into almost two hours of strobe lights and dancing built around Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>But lately, another piece of the party has been thrown into the mix: \u201cTelephone Busy\u201d by 5 Seconds of Summer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe crowd has begun chanting the opening verse of \u201cTelephone Busy\u201d in time with the pulsating bridge of \u201cReady, Steady, Go!\u201d \u2014 with no prompting from Styles himself. This new trend was created completely by the fans. And as their volume increases with each show, there are plenty who seem to be helplessly confused about what\u2019s happening. <\/p>\n

\n\tLet us catch you up to speed.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tIn July, 5SOS made their Lollapalooza debut in Chicago in the middle of their Everyone\u2019s a Star<\/a> <\/em>tour. The set took their usual show to new heights \u2014 literally, they performed three songs, including \u201cTelephone Busy,\u201d while elevated at least 20 feet in the air. What would have been an acrophobic\u2019s worst nightmare was just a warm-up for 5SOS, who kept the party going well into the night with CLUBSOS, their official Lollapalooza afterparty and inaugural DJ set.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe band swapped their instruments for the decks at the Salt Shed, spinning everything from Slayyyter\u2019s \u201cBeat Up Chanel$\u201d and the Dare\u2019s \u201cGirls\u201d to Blur\u2019s \u201cSong 2\u201d and Yeah Yeah Yeahs\u2019 \u201cHeads Will Roll.\u201d Still, the remixes of their own songs were the heart of the set. This is how we ended up with \u201cTelephone Busy\u201d slamming into \u201cReady, Steady, Go!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the set, 5SOS dropped Styles\u2019 verse in first, then spun the verse into their own: \u201cI\u2019ll find in love with the next one\/It\u2019ll be\u2005so\u2005good with a\u2005good one\/I thought it, wrote about\u2005it\/Crawled up out it, onto the next one\/I pulled that tarot card\/That one with the mystic heart\/A map of treasures\/Good things come to those who wait, okay.\u201d The room erupted in a way you\u2019d expect for a band whose fandom is so intertwined with One Direction\u2019s, having spent three tours together in the early 2010s. <\/p>\n

\n\t5SOS\u2019 fans were tapped in for a while before the mashup made it to MSG or even Chicago, for that matter. The band first teased the \u201cTelephone Busy\u201d x \u201cReady, Steady, Go!\u201d remix on TikTok in May with the caption: \u201cSee you at the after party @Lollapalooza.\u201d To date, the video has more than 394,000 likes and 3.8 million views. It used an audio mix created by a fan named Millie in March. Her video amassed 49,000 likes and 294,000 views. The sound itself has since been used in over 3,800 videos.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn person, the chants during \u201cReady, Steady, Go!\u201d at MSG last for barely 20 seconds. They were hardly even noticeable for the first few weeks of Styles\u2019 residency, but picked up steam as more fans caught onto the trend. Some have embraced it, while others have exercised their right to not care and move on with their night. It\u2019s deeply inconsequential either way. Still, with 14 nights left in the run, HarrySOS doesn\u2019t seem to be going away any time soon.<\/p>\n
