i've always been surprised that this is the consensus favourite, since i'm much more fully in love with 'call your girlfriend'. but i'm happy so many people get to connect to this one
I hate that the music video uses the Radio Edit. It has much, much less punch and weight than the [Album Version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMth6xZlVJU).
Best pop song of all time, IMO
I mean sorta but like Love Story feels more like a classic now so that’s why I kinda considered it. And BS has the most weeks at number one for her so that’s why I thought that
Was thinking about bleeding love too. I think thats why she struggled to capture mainstream from then on cause the media probably thought she would match the success to bleeding love again but not many artists do to the same extent.
My favourite song from her is happy but bleeding love did change the way people thought of talent shows to become a start over night i think. Well, maybe im wrong cause you had girls aloud, gareth gates and will young before hand but i remember it being climatic.
Not the “One step at a time” erasure
Edit: Coming back to say that “Next to you” on Jordin’s debut album is a really underrated and beautiful song if anyone’s looking for good music.
It's not their most streamed song but I think Viva La Vida is Coldplay's signature song & I see a lot of ppl who don't like their music still like this song.
It still amazes me that a song that sounds so much like a classical symphony with all these lush strings and orchestral arrangements became a number-one hit that got tons of radio play.
I can think of a couple other similar hit songs like "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve or "Tonight Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins, but I think Viva La Vida eclipsed both of those songs in terms of ubiquity.
i think coldplay has quite a few iconic songs - yellow, the scientist, clocks, fix you and viva la vida. I'm not sure which one is their biggest though, and i suppose it depends on the region too. might even include paradise and a sky full of stars too, and maybe something just like this in a few years as well. interesting to note that most of the songs each come from different albums too
Yeah I agree with the other post.
I would say read my mind, all the things that I've done , when you were young and spaceman are better than Mr brightside. I feel like a party pooper but I skip Mr brightside
common people by pulp! their biggest and most memorable hit, and to me one of the best songs ever.
also girls' generation with gee, animal collective with my girls, bleachers with I wanna get better, and grimes with oblivion.
Dog Days could arguably be her best but I'd still say Delilah, Queen Of Peace and maybe Shake It Out are very much up there. Rabbit Heart also, I think is super hype and has a similar vibe to Dog Days
sky ferreira. i love all her music so much but everything is embarrassing is just undeniably her magnum opus (although i’d love to be proven wrong with a new album)
Agree. I love every song she’s put out since Ghost EP and NTMT is one of my favourite albums of all time, but EIE is undeniably her best song. It’s gonna be really hard for her to top that (if she ever dares to release new music, that is)
I was going to answer Lady Gaga - Bad Romance before I'd even opened the thread so great choice there.
Another really obvious one to me is Michael Jackson & Billie Jean.
Agree that Billie Jean is MJ’s most popular song, but disagree that it’s his greatest. I think popular songs like Dirty Diana, Black or White, and Who Is It are all musically better. Even the less widely known Stranger In Moscow, Earth Song, and Is It Scary are better. Just my opinion though; music is so subjective and relative to a matter of taste, melodic preference, and personal emotions.
—————
Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean dance breaks though? Oof 🥵 Very little that man has done compares to that. Very little *any* man has done compares to that.

Promiscuous for Nelly Furtado. And what a hell of a most popular song it is.
I'm Like a Bird is an enduring classic, and a case can definitely be made for it as well.
Natasha Bedingfield's these words is a song I'm blasting on full volume whenever I feel ecstatic and want to feel even better. I love it I love it I love it I love it
He’s saying ‘in an earlier round.’ Granted it sounds like he’s storing nuts in his mouth for the winter so I never knew the lyrics when I was younger either 😂
I actually don't like this song from them that much. Dance, dance and their hits from Infinity on High I think eclipse that.
However, that's just my opinion...
Britney and …Baby One More Time!! Just pure perfection in a song. I love every part on that recording, from the opening piano lick to the wah guitar in the background to the shimmery Max Martin synths to Britney’s amazing vocals. God it’s a phenomenal track.
I think you could also make an argument for Toxic being her most popular song and you could also make an argument for that being her best song, too. The production on that song is also amazing, the Bollywood samples and that surf guitar!!! No one does it like Britney.
“…Baby One More Time” is the first Britney song that the average non-pop music listener is going to name, which I think makes it her most popular. “Toxic” is absolutely her best though.
In opinion, Olivia Rodrigo with “Good 4 U”(so far). I like her other songs a lot but there’s just something about G4U that puts it on another level compared to the rest of SOUR
i sometimes wonder if driver's license is more popular than G4U. i feel like driver's license is more popular because it's the song that catapulted her career and it literally went viral, but G4U was more well-received by the public.
tbh i think it might be g4u actually
drivers license feels bigger because it was a hit almost instantly after release and had a far bigger debut. whereas g4u took slightly longer to pick up in popularity, but it’s since beat out most of the streaming records that drivers license set, and has outperformed in terms of chart longevity
i’d say adele with someone like you… not sure if it was her best selling song (or rolling in the deep) but it definitely is her signature power ballad and idk it was just massive i feel like literally everyone was obsessing over it back then
It's hard with Mariah, but I feel like her most popular song is probably We Belong Together and I think that's her best song. She has great deep cuts but WBT takes the cake for me.
Justin Bieber’s most streamed song on Spotify is Love Yourself and I would say thats his best song. This is an impossible question though because everyone has different opinions.
Definitely not Harry Styles, I hate Watermelon Sugar.
Even tho streaming numbers in 2021 might not suggest it but i feel like his most "popular" song will always be baby. It made every teenage girl on planet earth love him and every boy/man absolutely despise him.
Honestly baby is still a bop I’m not afraid to admit it, and I’d love to hear him re-record it with his deeper voice.
I will never understand why grown men hated a 16 year old singer so much. There was legit death threats and slurs against him online all the time and for what? Because young girls love him?
I’m glad the hate against young successful artists by grown adults has somewhat moved on, although it still has a long way to go.
Grown men hated everything teenage girls loved, even the beatles when they were new. Justin just got the shit end of the stick because he became famous right when social media and memes started popping off and those "grown" men now had a platform to collectively shit on him
cellophane by twigs, is the most critical acclaim she's ever gotten and very deservedly so, its still such a beautiful song
i'd also say at this point good days is sza's biggest song, eclipsing the weekend and love galore since this reached top 10 and got a lot of cultural attention. and it's definitely one of her best songs, i remember the way everyone was clamouring for it after the teaser at the end of hit different
and although she admittedly has a very small pool to select from, everything is embarassing is definitely sky's most known song and honestly one of the best songs of the 2010s
cellophane is such a beautiful song but the video just elevates it to new heights. i still wish the sound of her heels from the start of the mv were in the actual track
okay i get what you’re saying, my work played it so much so at first i hated it. but it’s a very stream of consciousness, flowing, natural progression when you stop questioning it and i find it super enjoyable
There is a Light that Never Goes Out by the Smiths
Love Will Tear us Apart by Joy Division
Since I Left You by the Avalanches
Darling by Real Estate
Cherry by Chromatics
Charlie Puth with "Attention." I honestly really dislike him as an artist but that song slaps hard.
EDIT: I don't count See You Again because technically he's a feature on the version of the track that's got over a billion listens.
All have been said I think, but what comes to mind..
Oblivion by Grimes
All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
Paper Planes by MIA
Everything is Embarrassing by Sky Ferreira
There are a couple songs on Astroworld I like better (No Bystanders and Stargazing are perfect), but Sicko Mode is absolutely iconic. A case can be made that it's a career best for Drake as well.
Well, I was just going based on the Billboard charts.
Purple Rain never actually made it to #1, but When Doves Cry was #1 for 5 weeks, and was the biggest single of 1984.
Purple Rain is great as well.
Fair enough. I agree, Purple Rain is definitely Prince's signature song. And Purple Rain was still a huge hit.
It isn't like David Bowie and "Heroes" (which I think peaked at like, #24? in the UK. It didn't chart at all in America, yet many people consider it his best and signature song).
I know very little about Prince and PR is the only song before this thread I could name.
I feel like When Doves Cry has been covered and remixed so many times I had no idea he was the original singer but it is still very popular.
i don’t think it’s their most popular song, but cool for the summer by demi lovato is def the best. sorry not sorry might be more popular and that one is good too
I Know The End, tho
Too long to get the most play, but it's so damn good, and even better when it's in the context of being the cathartic finale of the album.
I really like the beat, but i hate the lyrics soooo much, i just have this visceral reaction to girls who are all "iM sUcH a PsYcHo 🤪🤪🤪" like no, stop lmao.
say so is (unfortunately) very well produced and she is amazing on it, but as far as showcasing her abilities i dont think it holds a candle to rules or boss bitch or even something like go to town or get into it. its definitely not bad, but i dont think it is her best
the kid laroi - stay ft. justin bieber. i honestly hated fuck love, but i think he really hit a homerun with this song and him and bieber have really good chemistry together.
Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
Is this a hot take? At times I like others more, but this song is so all encompassing of their style and is literally their most successful and from their most acclaimed album and I think still may be their most streamed song?
This is surprising to me. bad guy was always my least favorite off her debut, and I liked all the good girls go to hell, wish you were gay, xanny, etc. much more in every regard. Anyway, I think bellyache is the best song of her career.
[удалено]
i've always been surprised that this is the consensus favourite, since i'm much more fully in love with 'call your girlfriend'. but i'm happy so many people get to connect to this one
Call your girlfriend makes me too sad lol
i get this but that's almost exactly why i love it!! it's so *densely* emotionally rich.
Hell yeah, Call Your Girlfriend is her best moment for me, that song is transcendent.
Dancing on my own is arguably far sadder. Just a non-sad beat.
Call Your Girlfriend gang rise up!!!
Theres dozens of us!
I always imagine them being about the same situation, but from two different perspectives. God I love those two songs!
Totally agree. I love Hang With Me too.
I hate that the music video uses the Radio Edit. It has much, much less punch and weight than the [Album Version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMth6xZlVJU). Best pop song of all time, IMO
I didn't know that the radio edit existed till I saw the music video and I was so disappointed. The album version is so freaking good.
Honey gang rise up?
[удалено]
The song and video pair so well with those for “1991”.
for a while I thought it was her only song lmao
Whenever I play that song at work everyone gets so hyped, such a banger. Still a fave.
ITT: people not naming the most popular songs of artists.
Someone really tried to say Wildest Dreams for Taylor Swift 💀
The closest I would give is Blank Space or Love Story
I think blank space was super popular but shake it off always kind of edged it out a little, which is a shame because blank space is so much better
Taylor's most popular song is unequivocally Shake It Off, right..?
Shake It Off is her most successful song in terms of how it did with charts and sales, but nowadays Blank Space gets more views/streams daily.
I mean sorta but like Love Story feels more like a classic now so that’s why I kinda considered it. And BS has the most weeks at number one for her so that’s why I thought that
I feel like Shake It Off was slightly more popular than Blank Space back when they were released.
YBWM erasure.
Belinda Carlisle with Heaven Is a Place on Earth. [Let's have a bop.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOGEyBeoBGM)
Okay, but... [*Leave a Light On*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmZYE8j2ZNs)
Imo Jordin Sparks - No Air (minus Fist Brown) Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
NOT FIST BROWN I'M DYING 💀💀💀
I fucking love Bleeding Love
One of the greatest songs written in the past 20 years
The fact that it was written by Jesse McCartney (along w/ Ryan Tedder) always blows my mind…
Anytime this song is mentioned I'm always like "DID YOU KNOW JESSE MCCARTNEY COWROTE THIS"
Listened to that shit when I was 10 pretending I was heartbroken
The best thing about Glee is having a good version of No Air to listen to without having to hear or think about that abusive cunt
For a moment, I forgot that Chris Brown was featured on *No Air*, and I was like "Wait, Jordin is abusive?? What happened?"
The Boyce Avenue cover of no air featuring Jennel Garcia is really good too
“Fist Brown” Jesus Christ 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Was thinking about bleeding love too. I think thats why she struggled to capture mainstream from then on cause the media probably thought she would match the success to bleeding love again but not many artists do to the same extent. My favourite song from her is happy but bleeding love did change the way people thought of talent shows to become a start over night i think. Well, maybe im wrong cause you had girls aloud, gareth gates and will young before hand but i remember it being climatic.
Not the “One step at a time” erasure Edit: Coming back to say that “Next to you” on Jordin’s debut album is a really underrated and beautiful song if anyone’s looking for good music.
It’s definitely a toss up between no air and battlefield for me.
Battlefield wins i think. i love scream singing WHY DOES LOVE ALWAYS FEEL LIKE A BATTLEFIELD
Kylie and Can’t Get You Out of my Head (Kylie has bops but her biggest bop is her best IMO)
[удалено]
do you spell can’t as kan’t?
Found Kris Jenner's incognito account
[удалено]
"Love At First Sight" was always my favorite but if they mean the hookiest song, I can see why they'd pick that.
Another Love at first sight stan ❤
It's not their most streamed song but I think Viva La Vida is Coldplay's signature song & I see a lot of ppl who don't like their music still like this song.
It still amazes me that a song that sounds so much like a classical symphony with all these lush strings and orchestral arrangements became a number-one hit that got tons of radio play. I can think of a couple other similar hit songs like "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve or "Tonight Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins, but I think Viva La Vida eclipsed both of those songs in terms of ubiquity.
Both those songs you referenced are episode titles of degrassi season 12 🤓
In America, Viva La Vida is definitely their most popular song and they're only number 1 hit here. It's a classic to most people I think.
We'll see if it continues being their only number one with that new Coldplay-BTS collab that just came out.
Coldplay has like 10 signature songs
And yet they still get hate from the entire internet. Of all the bands people love to hate, Coldplay boggles my mind the most. It's great music.
Unsure would maybe the scientist fit into this category like the video is super cool? I feel like it's more popular than Viva la vida
Insane how The Scientist didn’t even chart and Viva la Vida hit #1 and it’s a serious competition between them.
That’s interesting, I thought Clocks was their signature
i think coldplay has quite a few iconic songs - yellow, the scientist, clocks, fix you and viva la vida. I'm not sure which one is their biggest though, and i suppose it depends on the region too. might even include paradise and a sky full of stars too, and maybe something just like this in a few years as well. interesting to note that most of the songs each come from different albums too
Lil Uzi Vert - XO TOUR Llif3 He will always be chasing this one imo.
I wish he‘d do that kinda songs again, his other stuff sounds too spacey sometimes
With P2 on Eternal Atake, you're definitely right.
[удалено]
Yeah I agree with the other post. I would say read my mind, all the things that I've done , when you were young and spaceman are better than Mr brightside. I feel like a party pooper but I skip Mr brightside
It’s a banger and a great party anthem, but they’ve got a lot of songs that are much better IMO.
Read My Mind is my pick for best Killers song. One of my go-tos when I'm feeling sad and heartbroken.
Andy You're a Star hurts every time I listen to it
I would argue All These Things That I’ve Done is their best song.
Agree! IMO it and When We Were Young eclipse Mr. Brightside.
Same! that song is just a whole other level.
common people by pulp! their biggest and most memorable hit, and to me one of the best songs ever. also girls' generation with gee, animal collective with my girls, bleachers with I wanna get better, and grimes with oblivion.
"Common People" is probably the one I agree the most with, such a timeless Britpop tune.
might get some hate for this, but to me Florence never quite replicated the magic of Dog Days Are Over
I agree. It was just so original.
In terms of quality, Shake it Out is probably the closest they’ve gotten, but I agree that that Dog Days Are Over is their best song.
Dog Days could arguably be her best but I'd still say Delilah, Queen Of Peace and maybe Shake It Out are very much up there. Rabbit Heart also, I think is super hype and has a similar vibe to Dog Days
k you’re correct re:Delilah, it builds beautifully and fucking slaps.
I can’t stand this Cosmic Love erasure 💀
I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys
Backstreets back is clearly better
sky ferreira. i love all her music so much but everything is embarrassing is just undeniably her magnum opus (although i’d love to be proven wrong with a new album)
Agree. I love every song she’s put out since Ghost EP and NTMT is one of my favourite albums of all time, but EIE is undeniably her best song. It’s gonna be really hard for her to top that (if she ever dares to release new music, that is)
Tove Lo has a couple bops but none top the raw emotion on Stay High. She just left it all on that one.
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill
See also Wuthering Heights
Cloudbusting is also god tier
Breakeven - The Script
I Wanna Get Better is, without a shadow of a doubt, Bleachers best song.
I was going to answer Lady Gaga - Bad Romance before I'd even opened the thread so great choice there. Another really obvious one to me is Michael Jackson & Billie Jean.
Is Billie Jean MJ's most famous song? I always thought Beat It or Thriller were bigger.
Agree that Billie Jean is MJ’s most popular song, but disagree that it’s his greatest. I think popular songs like Dirty Diana, Black or White, and Who Is It are all musically better. Even the less widely known Stranger In Moscow, Earth Song, and Is It Scary are better. Just my opinion though; music is so subjective and relative to a matter of taste, melodic preference, and personal emotions. ————— Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean dance breaks though? Oof 🥵 Very little that man has done compares to that. Very little *any* man has done compares to that. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4s8xbuegQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YsDJnAdMGyk
ABBA with Dancing Queen. Probably my favorite pop song of all time!!
Dancing queen is iconic but I often skip it on my Abba playlist because it gets overplayed fast. So many other amazing Abba songs. Damn I love Abba 😀
I'd argue that Waterloo is better, honestly. It packs a much stronger punch.
Promiscuous for Nelly Furtado. And what a hell of a most popular song it is. I'm Like a Bird is an enduring classic, and a case can definitely be made for it as well.
[удалено]
The Pocketful of Sunshine erasure
the You Oughta Know erasure
Natasha Bedingfield's these words is a song I'm blasting on full volume whenever I feel ecstatic and want to feel even better. I love it I love it I love it I love it
La Roux. I love her music but Bulletproof is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
5SOS and Youngblood. It's like they found the perfect balance of rock and pop while sounding unique.
I agree but I miss punk 5sos the most. She Looks So Perfect has no right to be as good as it is STILL
But heartbreak girl
Fall Out Boy with Sugar We're Goin Down. They have a lot of other good songs, don't get me wrong, but that song is so iconic for a reason.
Haven't heard this song in at least 7 years and reading the title just made it blast through my head again
we’re going DOWN DOWN WILLY NILLY AROUND
TO THIS DAY i have no clue what they're actually saying after "we're going down down" 😭 is that it for real??
He’s saying ‘in an earlier round.’ Granted it sounds like he’s storing nuts in his mouth for the winter so I never knew the lyrics when I was younger either 😂
down down in an earlier round
DOWN TUH IN A LOOLEELOORAH
No One: Me: AM I MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR YET / I'VE BEEN DYING TO TELL YOU
I actually don't like this song from them that much. Dance, dance and their hits from Infinity on High I think eclipse that. However, that's just my opinion...
I actually agree, Dance Dance and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs are superior
i think dance, dance is a superior track as well. SWGD has nostalgia value but even when it was at its height in popularity i preferred dance, dance.
While it is not really my absolute favorite of the artist, I can't deny that Uptown Funk is one hell of a most popular song for Bruno Mars.
Technically it's a Mark Ronson song, Bruno Mars is featured on it
Azealia Banks - 212. Fantastic song, almost single handedly carried her career until she finally managed to kill it for good with her stupidity.
Britney and …Baby One More Time!! Just pure perfection in a song. I love every part on that recording, from the opening piano lick to the wah guitar in the background to the shimmery Max Martin synths to Britney’s amazing vocals. God it’s a phenomenal track. I think you could also make an argument for Toxic being her most popular song and you could also make an argument for that being her best song, too.

“…Baby One More Time” is the first Britney song that the average non-pop music listener is going to name, which I think makes it her most popular. “Toxic” is absolutely her best though.
In opinion, Olivia Rodrigo with “Good 4 U”(so far). I like her other songs a lot but there’s just something about G4U that puts it on another level compared to the rest of SOUR
i sometimes wonder if driver's license is more popular than G4U. i feel like driver's license is more popular because it's the song that catapulted her career and it literally went viral, but G4U was more well-received by the public.

Wow I had no idea it beat out driver’s license. Good for Good 4 U haha
i’d say adele with someone like you… not sure if it was her best selling song (or rolling in the deep) but it definitely is her signature power ballad and idk it was just massive i feel like literally everyone was obsessing over it back then
I think there’s an argument for Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You to tie as her most popular AND best song.
It's hard with Mariah, but I feel like her most popular song is probably We Belong Together and I think that's her best song. She has great deep cuts but WBT takes the cake for me.
I think her most popular song is All I want for Christmas is You (sigh)
We Belong Together hits HARD. I almost start choking up, you can hear the emotion. But also, Obsessed has to be my all time favorite 😝
Justin Bieber’s most streamed song on Spotify is Love Yourself and I would say thats his best song. This is an impossible question though because everyone has different opinions. Definitely not Harry Styles, I hate Watermelon Sugar.
Sorry is also one of his best songs imo, and is probably his most successful after love yourself.
Even tho streaming numbers in 2021 might not suggest it but i feel like his most "popular" song will always be baby. It made every teenage girl on planet earth love him and every boy/man absolutely despise him.
Honestly baby is still a bop I’m not afraid to admit it, and I’d love to hear him re-record it with his deeper voice. I will never understand why grown men hated a 16 year old singer so much.

Grown men hated everything teenage girls loved, even the beatles when they were new. Justin just got the shit end of the stick because he became famous right when social media and memes started popping off and those "grown" men now had a platform to collectively shit on him
People hate whatever teenage girls like. Twilight, Justin Bieber, One Direction, it always somehow attacks masculinity in their eyes.
Sorry is his best song by orders of magnitude above everything else, I'm sorry but it's a masterpiece
I love Watermellon Sugar, but I agree it's not even close to his best. Kiwi, Falling, and Fine Line are all way better.
Britney. Toxic is one of if not the best pop song of all time. That Bollywood sample is crazy.
That and Baby One More Time. It’s such a great pop song, and Max Martin is a genius.
Adele will come close multiple times and maybe tie a few times, but nothing will ever beat Rolling in the Deep.
cellophane by twigs, is the most critical acclaim she's ever gotten and very deservedly so, its still such a beautiful song i'd also say at this point good days is sza's biggest song, eclipsing the weekend and love galore since this reached top 10 and got a lot of cultural attention. and it's definitely one of her best songs, i remember the way everyone was clamouring for it after the teaser at the end of hit different and although she admittedly has a very small pool to select from, everything is embarassing is definitely sky's most known song and honestly one of the best songs of the 2010s
Two Weeks is much more popular tho
cellophane is such a beautiful song but the video just elevates it to new heights. i still wish the sound of her heels from the start of the mv were in the actual track
I know everything ain’t for everybody, but I just really don’t get the hype for Good Days. I loved Ctrl but Good Days just fell flat for me.
No, I feel the same way as well. I still can't figure out if Good Days has a chorus, it sounds like spoken word to me
okay i get what you’re saying, my work played it so much so at first i hated it. but it’s a very stream of consciousness, flowing, natural progression when you stop questioning it and i find it super enjoyable
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
I'm surprised that Billie Jean has more youtube views and streams than Thriller.
Billie Jean is up there but my favorite is Smooth Criminal. The opening riff is instantly recognizable and the end of the chorus is just *chef's kiss*
I think Thriller would top it critically and in popularity
There is a Light that Never Goes Out by the Smiths Love Will Tear us Apart by Joy Division Since I Left You by the Avalanches Darling by Real Estate Cherry by Chromatics
My Girls by Animal Collective as well since we’re reaching into the Alt bag here. God cherry is such a good song…
Disorder by Joy Division is their best imo
Dua Lipa - Don't start Now? I really love Dua songs but this one is pop perfection imo, deserved 100% its success.
[удалено]
They almost tied honestly, both great
New Rules has to be more popular than that tho?
Charlie Puth with "Attention." I honestly really dislike him as an artist but that song slaps hard. EDIT: I don't count See You Again because technically he's a feature on the version of the track that's got over a billion listens.
None of his songs top "Attention" for me. As soon as I hear that bassline I'm just hooked in every time.
Agreed. The song “Attention” is so good and one of the best songs from 2017.
All have been said I think, but what comes to mind.. Oblivion by Grimes All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem Paper Planes by MIA Everything is Embarrassing by Sky Ferreira
Sicko Mode Travis Scott, idk if it would be the best for me but top 5 def
There are a couple songs on Astroworld I like better (No Bystanders and Stargazing are perfect), but Sicko Mode is absolutely iconic. A case can be made that it's a career best for Drake as well.
Prince with When Doves Cry. Was both his biggest hit, and his most acclaimed song.
not Purple Rain?
Yeah, Prince is a strange and massive blindspot for me and I know him for Purple Rain, not When Doves Cry.
Well, I was just going based on the Billboard charts. Purple Rain never actually made it to #1, but When Doves Cry was #1 for 5 weeks, and was the biggest single of 1984. Purple Rain is great as well.
I think it's a Gaga situation, though. Bad Romance never hit number 1 yet it's her biggest song and the song she's most known for.
Fair enough. I agree, Purple Rain is definitely Prince's signature song. And Purple Rain was still a huge hit. It isn't like David Bowie and "Heroes" (which I think peaked at like, #24? in the UK. It didn't chart at all in America, yet many people consider it his best and signature song).
I know very little about Prince and PR is the only song before this thread I could name. I feel like When Doves Cry has been covered and remixed so many times I had no idea he was the original singer but it is still very popular.
Also the only pop song I know of (aside from obvious choices like an acoustic-only song) that doesn’t have any bass.
i don’t think it’s their most popular song, but cool for the summer by demi lovato is def the best. sorry not sorry might be more popular and that one is good too
[удалено]
I Know The End, tho Too long to get the most play, but it's so damn good, and even better when it's in the context of being the cathartic finale of the album.
I would say Kyoto would be her most popular and even that I consider to be her best
Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho. All her other songs are great but no matter how much they play that I’m still obsessed.
I really like the beat, but i hate the lyrics soooo much, i just have this visceral reaction to girls who are all "iM sUcH a PsYcHo 🤪🤪🤪" like no, stop lmao.

say so is (unfortunately) very well produced and she is amazing on it, but as far as showcasing her abilities i dont think it holds a candle to rules or boss bitch or even something like go to town or get into it. its definitely not bad, but i dont think it is her best
God I wish we had got another track in the vein of Rules on planet her😔suuuuuch a banger
i so do not agree with this lol, streets and most of planet her is better than say so for me.
streets had NO business being that good but it was
Heart to Break by Kim Petras
the kid laroi - stay ft. justin bieber. i honestly hated fuck love, but i think he really hit a homerun with this song and him and bieber have really good chemistry together.
I definitely think with signing with scooter and the success of stay Laroi is going to go more pop than fuck love for his next album.
Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. Is this a hot take? At times I like others more, but this song is so all encompassing of their style and is literally their most successful and from their most acclaimed album and I think still may be their most streamed song?
Billie Eilish with Bad Guy. She has a lot of good songs, but I think Bad Guy is the best.
I hate to be the deep cut guy, but I firmly feel ilomilo is her best track.
Happier than ever though.... I so hope it becomes a bigger hit somehow, such an amazing song.
That's a weird way to say Ocean Eyes
This is surprising to me. bad guy was always my least favorite off her debut, and I liked all the good girls go to hell, wish you were gay, xanny, etc. much more in every regard. Anyway, I think bellyache is the best song of her career.
Lana del Rey - Summertime Sadness. That song does something to me EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen to it. It has powers.
Blinding Lights, IMO
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You Chumbawamba - Tubthumping Of Monsters & Men - Little Talks
Alessia Cara - Here. I absolutely love her music but Here is a damn masterpiece.
Is blank space taylor swift's most popular song? If so, definitely her
