Chartbreaker: How The Marías’ ‘No One Noticed’ Went From ‘The Back Burner’ to Breakthrough Hit

The indie-pop single has reached a No. 22 high in 18 weeks on the Hot 100 and continues to build at radio. It also peaked at No. 53 on the Canadian Hot 100.

“It’s almost like, an anti-pop song,” María Zardoya, the leader of The Marías, says of “No One Noticed.”

Considering the sighing production, murmured harmonies and somber lyrical tone as Zardoya pleads with a lover for attention and reassurance, “No One Noticed” understandably did not lead the indie-pop band’s second album, Submarine, upon its release last May. Yet in the months since, the song has transformed into a viral breakthrough and the band’s biggest hit to date.
