ITT: Hit songs that no one remembers.
L-L-L-L LET THE BEAT ROCK
This was the biggest thing for quite a while, and now you never hear from them. How could they have fallen so far?
>>65743088
Aren't they uncle and nephew? That always made me feel weird
>>65743088
GIRL LOOK AT THAT BODY
I couldn't escape this fucking song when it was big.
>>65743020
They're are hits by their time. Thread makes no sense at all.
>Whether or not a single becomes a hit depends on geographical location. Musical taste varies considerably, and singles that are not hits in their country of origin sometimes become hits elsewhere. For example, Blind To The Groove, released in 1998 by UK band Ultra, did not chart in the UK but became a top ten hit in Spain. Nicole Scherzinger is far more popular in the UK, than her native US, scoring a number one single in 2011 (Don't Hold Your Breath) in the UK, as well as other hits there, but with little success in the US as a solo artist.
from "Hit single" article (wiki)
Makes more sense talking about the artists that peaked and disappeared or flopped off the charts.
- Hillary Duffy
- LMFAO
- Psy
- Britney Spears (maybe)
They need a Records label boost in the matketing or a Max Martin touch.

Oh god
>>65743088
I had a friend who worked at a restaurant where RedFoo used to come in all the time with his girlfriend.
Every once in a while I'm Sexy And I Know It would start playing on the speakers and he would get visibly depressed.
Once his girlfriend asked him "Do you want to go?" and he was like "It's fine"

Good

>and now you never hear from them

>>65743671
I don't even remember this one immediately after listening to it
OOOOOOH IT'S WHAT YOU DO TO ME
I GOT THIS ICE BOX WHERE MY HEART USED TO BE
(i'm so cooold i'm so cooold i'm so cooold)
YOU GOT DESIGNER SHADES JUST TO HIDE YOUR FACE
>>65743536
i really hope this is true, that's so human damn
This shit which pissed me off when it came out
https://youtu.be/kdemFfbS5H0
>>65743020
don't be drugging bitches bitch
>>65743352
>- Psy
Doesn't count Psy still makes bank and gets tons of attention with each release
Also even though I agree with your overall point, for the sake of this thread
>YOU'RE WAY TOO BEOOOOTIFUL GIRL
>THAT'S WHY IT'LL NEVER WORK
>YOU'LL HAVE ME SUICIDAL, SUICIDAL
>WHEN YOU SAY ITS OOOOVER
SHAWTY'S LIKE A MELODY IN MY HEAD
>>65743536
No wonder they never make music
>>65744736
When I heard it I had hoped it was ironic, I mean look at the music video. It's obviously a critique on these kind of people
Then I'd go to frat parties and I'd see these same people being hyped about this song and I'd cringe
now that I'm looking back I think this song is what made me stop going to frat parties
Any Justin Bieber song that isn't Baby
>>65744850
You are incredibly out of touch
>>65744887
What Do You Mean and Sorry haven't been played on any pop radio stations around me in months already. Baby's the only one that had staying power in the public conscious.
>>65744921
They play very regularly over here.
Plus Love Yourself.
Plus Company.
Plus the one with Skrillex.
>>65745049
What part of the country are you from? Genuinely curious, cuz even during the first part of Bieber's megastardom (09-12ish) I can only remember hearing his singles on the pop stations twice.
Every single hit song, by design

The Mr. Blobby song was a #1 hit in the UK in 1993. Some people remember it, but probably not willingly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h37KQu64RY4
>>65745090
I live in the UK.
Also I believe I read somewhere that Sorry has been more successful than Baby.
>>65744820
Damn, I forgot about Sean Kingston. That was a really good song.
In case anyone wants to relive it:

>>65745127
I'm from the Bay Area, admittedly the stations might be different here, but even Lady Gaga and Adele had more airplay around my stations during the 09-12 years of pop music. I don't listen to pop stations as much but he still seems to be not getting much airplay compared to other modern popstars. Ariana Grande is played way more than him, that's for sure.
>>65745090
I'm from NYC and although I don't listen to the radio often, whenever I'm in the car with someone or at an office setting I tend to hear Bieber at least once
#1 alternative chart hit in 1993, so forgotten it's like it never existed.

>>65743088
Last I heard of that cunt he was glassed while clubbing in Sydney haha
>>65743020
Everyone still remembers Fuck You.
Underrated hit songs thread?
https://youtu.be/Rmp6zIr5y4U
This one kind of makes me feel nostalgic for some reason.
>>65743536
I feel bad for him. It seems like he's trying to be taken seriously as a musician (he helped write a song on TPAB), but he just can't escape LMFAO.
>>65745592
Fuck. Forgot the image.
He had a whole album and a couple of mixtapes after this, but NONE of it got radio play.

>>65745509

>>65745564
Probably because it samples Float On.
>>65745612
Everyone still remembers Channel Orange (well, millennials at least)
>>65745623
From modest mouse? Because I didn't even know that song until like 2 years back.
>>65743299

>>65746428
no motherfucker everyone remembers that song cause to this day i still sing that little b a n a n a s part in my head to remember how to spell that word. its not like i couldnt learn to spell it as ive learned with every other word, its just been imprinted in my brain with that fucking line so now i have to do that to spell it.
>>65746865
HOLY FUCK
I never knew that fucking song's name
>>65745635
Tumblr remembers Channel Orange. That doesn't equate to mainstream success (although it seems like he doesn't want that).
YOU DONT KNO-O-OW
YOU DONT KNOW YOURE BEAUTIFUL
>>65746928
>>65745635
>>65745612
Is Channel Orange any good? I heard Brian Wilson wanted Ocean on his last album and scaruffi gave CO a glowing review
>>65747052
It's pretty good. Some of his best work that wasn't sold to other artists for them to sing over.
Pyramids and Pink Matter still get to me.
>>65746253
oh fuck
Summer Girls by LFO
>>65747460
nigga I listen to that song every day
>>65747460
I love that song the same way I love End Of The World As We Know It by R.E.M, just a song about nothing.
>>65745564

>I like Kevin Bacon, but I hate Footloose
how can one song be so jam packed with lyrical fire
>>65743829
I found this album in a stack of free records at a store I frequent. It was still shrink wrapped too and you'd best believe I snatched it for just that song.
