That song was inescapable at one point, so much so I started to hate it. I started listening to it again after it died down and it’s such a banger to me now
[Too Close by Alex Clare](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zP50Ewh31E4) was a top 10 hit in the US in 2011, and I’ve never heard it or anything from the artist again ever since
No joke, about a week ago I basically won a spot in [pophead’s rate Olympics](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/s/K2cN474208) because in the “name that song” game, I remembered Alex Clare’s name when guessing this song
it was even before the pandemic tbh, her second album just flopped really hard and from there everyone had moved on. her sound was very of the times in the mid 2010s anyways so i think she would've probably petered out in due time but i didnt think it'd be that quick
I’m not sure if you meant she used to have that sound, or she still does currently, but her album In The Meantime is phenomenal and not dated at all. It has some nostalgic instrumentals, in a good way. I wish she were more popular again because the girl is talented!
I cannot properly explain nor understand the hatred and vitriol that courses through my veins at the title of that song. It literally makes me want to vomit, I hate it so much.
Dramatic, I know, but I’m not even lying 😭
It's pretty commonly referenced, I'd say tbh. I see people discussing it and Kanye's Pt. 2 decently often on reddit, and whilst they don't get radio airplay, it wouldn't be crazy to hear them at a club still.
I was just thinking about that era of EDM and was wondering about the longevity of those songs. Though I'm not sure if it's just me avoiding the music or the general public forgetting about it. That Cedric Gervais version of Summertime Sadness was played non-stop but I haven't heard it since like 2015. I had summer students at the time who listened to BPM non stop but i just didn't vibe with that era of edm. I couldn't avoid these songs for like a 5 year period but then they vanished.
I try and listen to a wide variety of music but I almost never see these songs on throwback playlists or hear anyone talking about them. I'm curious to see if there's a sudden for it nostalgia wave in another 5-10 years.
I've seen nostalgia for it, and according to these replies people still hear the music being played. I don't go to clubs so I had no idea.
I've seen a lot of nostalgia for Avicii and I think that's because he passed away so soon. People are looking back fondly on his music. I mean, Levels was a bop I think I would've been nostalgic for it regardless.
I've also seen some posts on IG reminiscing on the EDM of the early 10s. Particularly how upbeat and happy it was. Won't be surprised if we see a second wave soon. As much as Dua's album has been given lukewarm reception, I think her album is in the direction pop music is headed. I think people are missing the party anthems. It got kinda sad/slow with Lana, Billie, current Taylor.
There's a food court outside my uni that has "JUJU ON THAT BEEF" on the walls and when I went back on campus in 2022 after quarantine and saw it I thought "bruh, that was a thing"
Any hip-hop song that got popular through Vine is forever consigned to the junk-drawer of history, just like TikTok songs that came after. So before we "Roxanne" and "Party Girl," we had "Nasty Freestyle"
Timbaland & Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again
Wasn't a massive hit as such in the US but charted highly in a lot of other countries. Never ever gets brought up as being anyone's favourite song by either artist, or anywhere close either.
Rae Sremmurd fell off after that in general. From like 2013-2016 they were everywhere and then Black Beatles came out and then nothing. They had like 4 songs getting airplay at once
Am I Wrong by Nico and Vinz. I remember hearing that song all the time on the radio when it was popular (and I still love it!), but I never hear it now and I can't think of any other songs by them that became big hits.
This song and Rather Be by Clean Bandit are some of the few radio hits that didn't get stale for me during their reign. Ironically enough, they're also some of the least revisited tracks for me ten years later. A weird juxtaposition.
The one notable thing about that song to me is the part that goes “yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah woo-oooh” because it just straight-up sounds like Britney Spears in the intro of Oops I Did It Again.
I still play that song. Yesterday I was thinking of the line “there’s no point tryna hide it/no point tryna evade it” when I read about some guy getting done for tax evasion after denying it.
Reading the comments is interesting because a lot of these songs seem to be ones that either captured a specific moment in time (that has now passed) or had a sound very specific to its time (that hasn’t aged well or has fallen out of favour). I guess the longevity of a hit is determined heavily by future attitudes, trends and tastes, all of which can’t be accurately predicted.
Yeah, I remember her being a huge deal at the time, but I rarely ever see people discussing the singles from that era, even though I still think Good For You and Same Old Love are great songs that (to me at least) stood the test of time.
Huh I still overhear “cooler than me” every now and then and “same old love” and “good for you” are in the top 10 most streamed Selena Gomez songs… this might be a you problem.
Trivia! It was one of the extremely rare “true” one hit wonders: an artist that has one song to hit number 1 on Billboard, and have zero other songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
To put into perspective on how rare that is: Oliver Anthony Music, the totally unknown artist whose song blew up and hit no. 1 cause of idiotic right-wing shenanigans, has 2 songs that charted.
I feel like that song is still around these days though- it pops up as a joke/meme every now and then or in some playlist that's thrown on for nostalgia. Idk I feel like "why you gotta be so ruuuuUde" is still pretty well-known
As much as I wish it would disappear, it seems to have stood the test of time. It’s daily Spotify streams are comparable to and in some cases more than 3x as good as some big songs from the past couple years like Die For You, Unholy, Bad Habit, First Class, Jimmy Cooks etc.
I’m looking at the list of the only 117 songs that have been certified diamond - and there are several that stand out:
This was a pretty minor hit in my circles but Stressed out by 21 Pilots? Certified Diamond? Haven’t heard that song since 2015 for sure
That song still gets 800k-1.2M spotify plays every day. It's just that 21 pilots has returned to being fully alternative and is no longer mainstream; Stressed Out is still heard occasionally in alternative circles. The ~~cult~~ very dedicated fanbase also ensures that song never dies.
3 by Britney. It went #1 but even inside the fanbase it’s just very forgotten. I don’t think fans dislike it but it wasn’t attached to a studio album and the only promotion outside of a video has been some tour performances
I think Lean On has stood the test of time and I still hear it getting played here and there. It was cool then, and it’s still kinda cool now. I mean if someone played it at a house party it wouldn’t feel too lame or out of place?
Many top 10 hits from around 2020-2021 are highly forgotten with terrible recurrent stats. Like they've been imprisoned to the pandemic era.
DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch - ROCKSTAR
GAYLE - abcdefu
Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo - Savage Love
Arizona Zervas - ROXANNE
Tones And I - Dance Monkey
I think Dance Monkey has longevity we’re just not the target audience. Its daily streams are on par with Bad Guy and Señorita which are arguably the other 2 defining hits from 2019. I saw her open for P!NK a couple months ago and there was an entire stadium of wine mums and their children singing every word unironically.
In fact, in Tones’ native Australia, *Dance Monkey* actually broke the record for the most total weeks at #1 in ARIA Singles Charts history. Add that to the fact it came out only two years following Ed Sheeran’s *Shape of You* which was the previous record holder.
I’ll never forget getting tickets to The Monster Ball in 2008 and Kid Cudi was supposed to open and at the last minute they changed it to Jason fucking DeRulo. Omg I was so mad
How deep is your love is still great, but that is by a EDM DJ and not a pop band/singer
The rest I agree with (altho I did like the Justin Bieber one at the time)
anyone else remember gold by kiiara? that song was everywhere in 2016 and she was super new to the industry and talented to boot, so there was a ton of hype behind her being essentially unknown. she’s been releasing music since but nothing that lived up to the hype
Blurred Lines. It was everywhere and I've recently found out that no one at my friends kids high school had heard of it. I was pretty surprised they hadn't even heard it on the radio or seen the video.
Zayn - Pillowtalk
Demi Lovato - Solo
Baauer - Harlem Shake
Britney Spears - Till The World Ends
Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake - Love never felt so good
Shakira & Rihanna - Can't remember to forget you
Madonna - Give me all your luvin
I will never forget when, for some ungodly reason, I decided to set 'Harlem Shake' as my morning alarm.
My soul left my body that morning when "CON LOS TERRORISTAS" blared through my eardrums 💀
Ready Or Not by Bridgit Mendler was played nonstop on my local radio station in 2012. Now people mainly just talk about her second single Hurricane. Both are bops
Cheap Thrills is not forgotten. Along with Chandelier I'd say it's one of her most played songs to this day. And Cheerleader I still hear from time to time
Some that should still be played:
. Attention by Charlie Puth: I wouldn't say it was forgotten but See You Again is THE Charlie song that still plays. Even We Don't Talk Anymore I still hear. But hits like Attention or How Long that are amazing are a bit overlooked nowadays. I take those before any Shawn Mendez song, which surprisingly still gets tons of plays. And this comes from someone who doesn't like Charlie's new stuff
. Some Nights by Fun.: it was a top 5 hit. On Spotify I think it has almost as many plays as We Are Young. But that last one is the only one I hear in public. Carry On was also top 40 and it's even more forgotten than the other 2
. Talking Bodies by Tove Lo: Habits I'd say it's kinda forgotten as well, but this one even more. Both were top 10 I believe. The last one was for the remix, but the 1st one was a hit of her own. Her early stuff was good. She didn't get many hits after but those should still be remembered.
. Lights by Ellie Goulding: It was her breakthrough hit, her biggest one to this day, and I don't hear it anymore. Songs like Love Me Like You Do, Burn or any of her Calvin Harris collabs outshined it over the years, which is sad cause I preffer the 1st one
. Team by Lorde: another top 10 hit. Great shynth pop tune but it got outshined by her biggest hit. Royals is the only song I hear from her today. Even Green Light I still hear more
A lot of songs from 2017, the two that most immediately came to mind are Clean Bandit’s Rockabye and Kygo and Selena’s It Ain’t Me. The latter is imo a great song that I still come back to even now that I rarely listen to anything EDM adjacent.
One Direction - Drag Me Down. Peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 and #6 on pop radio. Yet I never hear it anywhere anymore. The only 1D songs most people remember are What Makes You Beautiful and Story Of My Life.
And while we’re on the topic of 1D, “Strip That Down” by Liam Payne f/Quavo somehow hit #1 on pop radio. I don’t think anyone remembered that a year later, let alone right now in 2024.
i was actually thinking of WAP the other day and I was thinking why it never gets plays anymore right now when back in 2020 it was this whole big pop culture thing
There's a gay night in my city that STILL plays 'I like It' every fucking week, like, give it up delicious. I have never seen a club floor clear so quickly, like rats when you open a bin lid.
Ehhhhhhh..I think this one was moreso due to the damage he did to his reputation with the comments he made. I think that sounds would still be around had he not been a creep.
I know celoo is a pretty sketchy figure due to the awful statements he made, but he's still a massively respected figure in hip-hop, he was in the dungeon family with outkast so he's always gonna have respect from rap fans for that, and even in recent years he was on the devine feminine by mac miller, and igor by tyler the creator. I know on paper he's a one hit wonder but he's really much more then that. he even had that song "crazy" with gnarls barkley and I would argue that's a more forgotten hit then fuck you, but still a huge hit regardless my mom loves it
*Crazy* is nowhere near forgotten. It’s 18 years old now and still has stood the test of time. Many say it’s among the greatest songs of the 2000’s. I’m not as fond of the song but I do see where they are coming from.
I forgot you make me feel by cobra starship so hard that I had to google the band and search through their discography for a big hit I knew they had but couldn’t remember anything about
24kGoldn - Mood ft. iann dior
It was probably the biggest pandemic hit and yet it almost sounds like everybody wants to forget it. Probably not helped that it was huge during the worst part of lockdown and that it somehow spent forever on the Rock Charts despite it not sounding like a rock song whatsoever (still remember Billboard trying to frame the song as "the new sound of rock")

Just a Dream by Nelly
Suchhh a boppppp
That song was inescapable at one point, so much so I started to hate it. I started listening to it again after it died down and it’s such a banger to me now
SUCH A GOOD SONG
The Christina Grimmie cover with Sam Tsui back in the early 2010s lives rent-free in my mind.
Why do ppl insist on bringing up cheerleader right when I've already banished it from my brain AGAIN
*horns intensify*
I’m pretty sure the instrumental of that song is used for an ad I see on Hulu all the time. It’s been what, 10 years? I still haven’t fully escaped it
I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL. every channel my mom watches on cable plays it all the time and all i can think of is the don’t judge me challenge
"no not really"
Song is #1 on my "if you could wish for a song to disappear" list.
My number two would be Hey Soul Sister lmao
I worked at a high school when the song was popular and it was played multiple times during EVERY pep rally/sporting event.
[Too Close by Alex Clare](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zP50Ewh31E4) was a top 10 hit in the US in 2011, and I’ve never heard it or anything from the artist again ever since
To this day this song makes me think of Internet Explorer
Yeah this one played SO much. But I put it on my iPod anyway lol.
This song kinda gets a dubstep vibe to it when the beat drops. That may be why. It's a really fun song to sing tho I will say.
No joke, about a week ago I basically won a spot in [pophead’s rate Olympics](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/s/K2cN474208) because in the “name that song” game, I remembered Alex Clare’s name when guessing this song
It gets performed on American idol every couple years still by contestants
Omg this one is really a relic of the time lmao
[удалено]
I remember it because of the cursed Good Morning America commercial it ran with Britney half dead behind the eyes (the voice)
Criminal went viral on TikTok a couple of years ago and gained lots of streams. I love HIAM but it sounds very dated (like a lot of Femme Fatale)
I love the chorus to hold it against me
I remember hearing it on the radio at the gym ALL THE TIME back when it came out.
[удалено]
Because it was awful.
Easily their worst
Yeah, even as the rare pophead that loves Maroon 5 I always HATED Girls Like You. I'm glad it's no longer getting air time honestly lol.
I haven’t like anything since Songs About Jane 😭
Rewatched Todd’s video on it yesterday and felt his pain by proxy
It still gets mad spins on the Adult Contemporary stations, as well as like department stores and stuff
The MV elevated it.
Cardi’s verse was the only decent part of the song and they cut it in the radio edit 😭
I still hear that song
Can’t even remember how that song goes
Here by Alessia Cara
Alessia Cara is a name that did not survive the pandemic, which is a shame since her last album and song for the Blade Runner show were good!
it was even before the pandemic tbh, her second album just flopped really hard and from there everyone had moved on. her sound was very of the times in the mid 2010s anyways so i think she would've probably petered out in due time but i didnt think it'd be that quick
I’m not sure if you meant she used to have that sound, or she still does currently, but her album In The Meantime is phenomenal and not dated at all. It has some nostalgic instrumentals, in a good way. I wish she were more popular again because the girl is talented!
Same! I absolutely adore her. Her EP 'This Summer' is one of my favourites and I still play it constantly.
I know the pandemic created a bunch of stars, but I would love a Nirvana killed my career-esque the pandemic killed my career series
I hope Alesia Cara and daya invested their money well
[удалено]
I cannot properly explain nor understand the hatred and vitriol that courses through my veins at the title of that song. It literally makes me want to vomit, I hate it so much. Dramatic, I know, but I’m not even lying 😭
yeah I feel like I've heard scars to your beautiful much more than Here
I actually really like that song
That's very unfortunate, lovely song. Genuine. Really neat vibe.
Panda by Desiigner? I saw a tweet about it’s anniversary of hitting #1 on the Hot 100 but nobody talks about it outside of that
How did panda get number 1 it doesn’t seem like the type of song that would
Very catchy and the energy is insanely good live
It's pretty commonly referenced, I'd say tbh. I see people discussing it and Kanye's Pt. 2 decently often on reddit, and whilst they don't get radio airplay, it wouldn't be crazy to hear them at a club still.
A lot of those 2010s EDM songs. How many stood the test of time? Anyone remember Take Over Control by Eva Simon and Afrojack?
Take Over Control slapped omg.
My absolute favorite era for music.
Yes. Bring back mohmbaton
I was just thinking about that era of EDM and was wondering about the longevity of those songs. Though I'm not sure if it's just me avoiding the music or the general public forgetting about it. That Cedric Gervais version of Summertime Sadness was played non-stop but I haven't heard it since like 2015. I had summer students at the time who listened to BPM non stop but i just didn't vibe with that era of edm. I couldn't avoid these songs for like a 5 year period but then they vanished. I try and listen to a wide variety of music but I almost never see these songs on throwback playlists or hear anyone talking about them. I'm curious to see if there's a sudden for it nostalgia wave in another 5-10 years.
I've seen nostalgia for it, and according to these replies people still hear the music being played. I don't go to clubs so I had no idea. I've seen a lot of nostalgia for Avicii and I think that's because he passed away so soon. People are looking back fondly on his music. I mean, Levels was a bop I think I would've been nostalgic for it regardless. I've also seen some posts on IG reminiscing on the EDM of the early 10s. Particularly how upbeat and happy it was. Won't be surprised if we see a second wave soon. As much as Dua's album has been given lukewarm reception, I think her album is in the direction pop music is headed. I think people are missing the party anthems. It got kinda sad/slow with Lana, Billie, current Taylor.
Have to disagree with this hard. Still hear them regularly.
Juju on that beat “You ugly, you your daddy’s son” still makes me laugh every time I think about the song
one of those guys is a bisexual OF model now fun fact
There's a food court outside my uni that has "JUJU ON THAT BEEF" on the walls and when I went back on campus in 2022 after quarantine and saw it I thought "bruh, that was a thing"
Any hip-hop song that got popular through Vine is forever consigned to the junk-drawer of history, just like TikTok songs that came after. So before we "Roxanne" and "Party Girl," we had "Nasty Freestyle"
Timbaland & Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again Wasn't a massive hit as such in the US but charted highly in a lot of other countries. Never ever gets brought up as being anyone's favourite song by either artist, or anywhere close either.
this song is SOOOOO good and makes me so sad with nostalgia
I love this song!
Maybe unashamedly one of my favourite pop songs ever
Huge in the UK.
This is played constantly in UK clubs.
The final like 30 seconds of that song where Timbaland drops a random beat is so good
Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd Pretty sure it was #1?
Rae Sremmurd fell off after that in general. From like 2013-2016 they were everywhere and then Black Beatles came out and then nothing. They had like 4 songs getting airplay at once
Swae Lee moved on to be a feature on like 5 billion songs, including 7 top 40 songs outside of Rae Sremmurd
Yeah, notably Sunflower which became one of the hugest hits of all time.
pity the song kind of slapped
Am I Wrong by Nico and Vinz. I remember hearing that song all the time on the radio when it was popular (and I still love it!), but I never hear it now and I can't think of any other songs by them that became big hits.
This song and Rather Be by Clean Bandit are some of the few radio hits that didn't get stale for me during their reign. Ironically enough, they're also some of the least revisited tracks for me ten years later. A weird juxtaposition.
Rather Be GOAT
OMG!!! I always hated this song and Taylor Swift brought them out as a surprise guest to sing it at the concert i was so excited to have gone to 😭😭😂😂😂
It’s ok she brought fetty wap to mine💀
Okay but Fetty Wap had three classic hits within a year, that's a vibe
I think I've heard it a few times in restaurants in my country lately. It was also in Cinderella on Amazon Prime a few years back.
Still gets played a lot in EDM sets. I think Martin Garrix had it in his sets quite regularly over the last few years.
The one notable thing about that song to me is the part that goes “yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah woo-oooh” because it just straight-up sounds like Britney Spears in the intro of Oops I Did It Again.
Break Your Heart- Taio Cruz (2009)
I still play that song. Yesterday I was thinking of the line “there’s no point tryna hide it/no point tryna evade it” when I read about some guy getting done for tax evasion after denying it.
I reckon Cheap Thrills is still pretty well remembered and I have the misfortune of occasionally having the memory of Cheerleader brought back up
Cheerleader creeps into my brain a few times every year, and I don’t even really like it
Reading the comments is interesting because a lot of these songs seem to be ones that either captured a specific moment in time (that has now passed) or had a sound very specific to its time (that hasn’t aged well or has fallen out of favour). I guess the longevity of a hit is determined heavily by future attitudes, trends and tastes, all of which can’t be accurately predicted.
Issues - Julia Michaels
I NEVER hear “Love me like you do” by Ellie Goulding anymore. That was a song that was truly inescapable
Crashed my car to that song. I'll never forget it <3
After all the effort Icona Pop went to as well
I mean it might be because the 50 Shades franchise itself is pretty irrelevant now, only remembered now for how bad it was
I still here this alllllll of the time. On the radio, in stores. Very often lol
I literally had this play on the radio the other day and I was like oh yeah this song
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOOOOOOR!!
Cooler than me by mike posner…. Any of the singles from Selena Gomez Revival
I still listen to Cooler Than Me lol
I love the 'shh ah!' part in that song. It makes my brain happy.
Yeah, I remember her being a huge deal at the time, but I rarely ever see people discussing the singles from that era, even though I still think Good For You and Same Old Love are great songs that (to me at least) stood the test of time.
Good For You is such a fucking banger. Top tier Selena song with Fetish and Bad Liar
Nah Cooler Than Me still plays at every trashy Top 40 playlist beachfront club I've ever been to lmao And it still goes off too! 🔥
Huh I still overhear “cooler than me” every now and then and “same old love” and “good for you” are in the top 10 most streamed Selena Gomez songs… this might be a you problem.
Definite nostalgia for Cooler Than Me!
That song “Rude” by MAGIC!
Trivia! It was one of the extremely rare “true” one hit wonders: an artist that has one song to hit number 1 on Billboard, and have zero other songs on the Billboard Hot 100. To put into perspective on how rare that is: Oliver Anthony Music, the totally unknown artist whose song blew up and hit no. 1 cause of idiotic right-wing shenanigans, has 2 songs that charted.
CAUSE YER DOLLAR AINT SHIT AND I KNOW THAT YOU DO
I hate that song so mucg
Why you gotta be so ruuuude?
I feel like that song is still around these days though- it pops up as a joke/meme every now and then or in some playlist that's thrown on for nostalgia. Idk I feel like "why you gotta be so ruuuuUde" is still pretty well-known
As much as I wish it would disappear, it seems to have stood the test of time. It’s daily Spotify streams are comparable to and in some cases more than 3x as good as some big songs from the past couple years like Die For You, Unholy, Bad Habit, First Class, Jimmy Cooks etc.
Also, I think it's well remembered as a song people hate.
Awh man, I heard that at work yesterday and I just got rid of it from my brain
Black widow by Iggy Azalea
Every 3OH!3 had me in a chokehold
They will forever remind me of my high school days. I saw that name and just thought “BECAUSE I’M A VEGETARIAN AND I AIN’T FUCKING SCARED OF HIM”
no I still unironically listen to this song sometimes, that line especially is a BAR
Tell your boyfriend, if he says he got beef… That I’m a vegetarian and **I ain’t fucking scared of him**
Gangnam style and Harlem shake Idk about charts/everyone else but my whole school was learning those dances in like 2012-2013
Savage Love
Ugh
*boodipup-up boodipup-up* *boot doot doooooot*
A shitton of 2006-08 ringtone rap
Unironically my favorite era of hip-hop. I still bump songs like “This Is Why I’m Hot” by Mims and “Lean Wit It Rock Wit It” by Dem Franchize Boyz.
Whatever You Like by TI
I’m looking at the list of the only 117 songs that have been certified diamond - and there are several that stand out: This was a pretty minor hit in my circles but Stressed out by 21 Pilots? Certified Diamond? Haven’t heard that song since 2015 for sure
Oh god it might have been minor hit in your circles but in 2015 that song was EVERYWHERE
That song still gets 800k-1.2M spotify plays every day. It's just that 21 pilots has returned to being fully alternative and is no longer mainstream; Stressed Out is still heard occasionally in alternative circles. The ~~cult~~ very dedicated fanbase also ensures that song never dies.
Love Me Harder by Ariana Grande and The Weeknd. I think some of their other more recent (and non-single) collabs overshadow it.
Their best collaboration. They’ve done some great things together since but they haven’t topped that one.
its so good tho
I wouldn’t say this is forgotten at all, just less radio play over her more recent collabs.
This is America by Childish Gambino
I think this is a rare case of the music video being essential to the song - without the video I don’t care much about the song itself.
Like A G6. These guys and Pitbull and partying around the world. So much partying around the world in cars with champagne. Those were ~~the~~ days
Every time I hear this song I think of the glee episode where they get drunk
Brittany killed it as kesha
My wife and I still talk about getting “slizzered”
I don’t think it’s forgotten
3 by Britney. It went #1 but even inside the fanbase it’s just very forgotten. I don’t think fans dislike it but it wasn’t attached to a studio album and the only promotion outside of a video has been some tour performances
“Lean on” - Major Lazer, DJ Snake & MØ
I think Lean On has stood the test of time and I still hear it getting played here and there. It was cool then, and it’s still kinda cool now. I mean if someone played it at a house party it wouldn’t feel too lame or out of place?
Also “Cold Water” with Major Lazer, Justin Bieber & MØ
That song went triple platinum in my house. I still listen to it sometimes for the nostalgia.
“Fight song” - Rachel Platten
I see it brought up as a meme/joke somewhat often
Many top 10 hits from around 2020-2021 are highly forgotten with terrible recurrent stats. Like they've been imprisoned to the pandemic era. DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch - ROCKSTAR GAYLE - abcdefu Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo - Savage Love Arizona Zervas - ROXANNE Tones And I - Dance Monkey
ABCDEFU deffo feels forgotten, same with Rockstar Dance Monkey has become a staple of bad 2010's pop and I still hear Roxanne from time to time
Everyone on social media remembers dance monkey for how annoying it is though
I think Dance Monkey has longevity we’re just not the target audience. Its daily streams are on par with Bad Guy and Señorita which are arguably the other 2 defining hits from 2019. I saw her open for P!NK a couple months ago and there was an entire stadium of wine mums and their children singing every word unironically.
Yeah.... it's my 5 yr old niece's favourite song.
In fact, in Tones’ native Australia, *Dance Monkey* actually broke the record for the most total weeks at #1 in ARIA Singles Charts history. Add that to the fact it came out only two years following Ed Sheeran’s *Shape of You* which was the previous record holder.
Dance Monkey still gets played everywhere, and is still the number 1 most streamed song on Spotify by a woman artist.
This is one record we do need Taylor to take away jfc
I’ll never forget getting tickets to The Monster Ball in 2008 and Kid Cudi was supposed to open and at the last minute they changed it to Jason fucking DeRulo. Omg I was so mad
[удалено]
How deep is your love is still great, but that is by a EDM DJ and not a pop band/singer The rest I agree with (altho I did like the Justin Bieber one at the time)
Ugh, you just made me remember Stay the Night by Zedd.
Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX - Fancy Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea - Problem Charli XCX - Boom Clap Bauuer - Harlem Shake
anyone else remember gold by kiiara? that song was everywhere in 2016 and she was super new to the industry and talented to boot, so there was a ton of hype behind her being essentially unknown. she’s been releasing music since but nothing that lived up to the hype
Blurred Lines. It was everywhere and I've recently found out that no one at my friends kids high school had heard of it. I was pretty surprised they hadn't even heard it on the radio or seen the video.
Mo Bamba
I really thought Sheck Wes would stay longer but the abuse allegations towards to Justine Skye really put his career into a coma....
This song just brings me back to sophomore year of college. Winter 2018 where Sicko Mode, Thank U Next, and Mo Bamba were just everywhere
This hurts but Untouched by The Veronicas. The song hits hard, the album is pretty damm good but even in their hometown you don't hear it.
I hear it alllll the time here in Australia. It's a commonly played 00s throwback song in the clubs here
Zayn - Pillowtalk Demi Lovato - Solo Baauer - Harlem Shake Britney Spears - Till The World Ends Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake - Love never felt so good Shakira & Rihanna - Can't remember to forget you Madonna - Give me all your luvin
I will never forget when, for some ungodly reason, I decided to set 'Harlem Shake' as my morning alarm. My soul left my body that morning when "CON LOS TERRORISTAS" blared through my eardrums 💀
Had a dj try to pull off Harlem shake at a college bar last week. Reactions were mixed.
Dua Lipa's IDGAF.
Ready Or Not by Bridgit Mendler was played nonstop on my local radio station in 2012. Now people mainly just talk about her second single Hurricane. Both are bops
Cheap Thrills is not forgotten. Along with Chandelier I'd say it's one of her most played songs to this day. And Cheerleader I still hear from time to time Some that should still be played: . Attention by Charlie Puth: I wouldn't say it was forgotten but See You Again is THE Charlie song that still plays. Even We Don't Talk Anymore I still hear. But hits like Attention or How Long that are amazing are a bit overlooked nowadays. I take those before any Shawn Mendez song, which surprisingly still gets tons of plays. And this comes from someone who doesn't like Charlie's new stuff . Some Nights by Fun.: it was a top 5 hit. On Spotify I think it has almost as many plays as We Are Young. But that last one is the only one I hear in public. Carry On was also top 40 and it's even more forgotten than the other 2 . Talking Bodies by Tove Lo: Habits I'd say it's kinda forgotten as well, but this one even more. Both were top 10 I believe. The last one was for the remix, but the 1st one was a hit of her own. Her early stuff was good. She didn't get many hits after but those should still be remembered. . Lights by Ellie Goulding: It was her breakthrough hit, her biggest one to this day, and I don't hear it anymore. Songs like Love Me Like You Do, Burn or any of her Calvin Harris collabs outshined it over the years, which is sad cause I preffer the 1st one . Team by Lorde: another top 10 hit. Great shynth pop tune but it got outshined by her biggest hit. Royals is the only song I hear from her today. Even Green Light I still hear more
Damn, all those songs I hear on a constant rotation on SiriusXM 🤣
A lot of songs from 2017, the two that most immediately came to mind are Clean Bandit’s Rockabye and Kygo and Selena’s It Ain’t Me. The latter is imo a great song that I still come back to even now that I rarely listen to anything EDM adjacent.
Down by Jay Sean
Sexy B!tch by David Guetta ft. Akon. What an era.
One Direction - Drag Me Down. Peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 and #6 on pop radio. Yet I never hear it anywhere anymore. The only 1D songs most people remember are What Makes You Beautiful and Story Of My Life. And while we’re on the topic of 1D, “Strip That Down” by Liam Payne f/Quavo somehow hit #1 on pop radio. I don’t think anyone remembered that a year later, let alone right now in 2024.
i was actually thinking of WAP the other day and I was thinking why it never gets plays anymore right now when back in 2020 it was this whole big pop culture thing
This is entirely subjective, and depends where you live and whether or not you listen to local radio.
Do It Again by Pia Mia ft. Tyga and Chris Brown. I heard it EVERYWHERE during the summer of 2015 and then….nothing.
I never hear Bodak Yellow or I Like It by Cardi B anymore
Gotta disagree with Bodak Yellow, it still plays on the radio in my country sometimes.
I just heard Bodak a few days ago. Did you know Cardi has only released **1** album?
There's a gay night in my city that STILL plays 'I like It' every fucking week, like, give it up delicious. I have never seen a club floor clear so quickly, like rats when you open a bin lid.
Yeah I was gonna say, if you go to a gay bar that has a hip-hop night, you are guaranteed to hear both of these songs
Fuck You by Cee-Lo had its niche utterly obliterated by a dozen Bruno Mars tracks
disagree about this being forgotten. it's a karaoke staple still, and that's not an easy feat
Ehhhhhhh..I think this one was moreso due to the damage he did to his reputation with the comments he made. I think that sounds would still be around had he not been a creep.
I know celoo is a pretty sketchy figure due to the awful statements he made, but he's still a massively respected figure in hip-hop, he was in the dungeon family with outkast so he's always gonna have respect from rap fans for that, and even in recent years he was on the devine feminine by mac miller, and igor by tyler the creator. I know on paper he's a one hit wonder but he's really much more then that. he even had that song "crazy" with gnarls barkley and I would argue that's a more forgotten hit then fuck you, but still a huge hit regardless my mom loves it
I wouldn’t say Crazy’s forgotten since it’s still on a lot of “best songs of the 21st century” lists.
*Crazy* is nowhere near forgotten. It’s 18 years old now and still has stood the test of time. Many say it’s among the greatest songs of the 2000’s. I’m not as fond of the song but I do see where they are coming from.
Cheerleader
I forgot you make me feel by cobra starship so hard that I had to google the band and search through their discography for a big hit I knew they had but couldn’t remember anything about
This is America by Childish Gambino
24kGoldn - Mood ft. iann dior It was probably the biggest pandemic hit and yet it almost sounds like everybody wants to forget it. Probably not helped that it was huge during the worst part of lockdown and that it somehow spent forever on the Rock Charts despite it not sounding like a rock song whatsoever (still remember Billboard trying to frame the song as "the new sound of rock")
