Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes 1,225,344 The way this woman literally predicted the sound of the decade with this song. I was so surprised when I found out this song came out in 1981. I thought it was from 1986 or something. She just knew what the future would sound like. That’s insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted April 23, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2022 Billboard needs to recalibrate the points for songs from 2017 to now because it's so silly. If they continue with the point system they have own, half of the top 10 will be songs released within the past 5 years. Stay is not one of the biggest songs of all time yet, and we shouldn’t have to pretend like it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been Taylor* their tune would be different. Swfties don’t support other women. OT: SMASH, Justin reviving his career with changes/Justice/Droplets is one for the books. Very impressive.

I disagree. Due to radio becoming so stagnant in the past few years, and streaming allowing for the longevity of songs to increase, way more songs than before have gotten extended chart runs. This has largely benefited male acts, but even if it was a pop girl I can't deny that it's become a lot easier for songs to stay longer on the charts.

Justin's old hits were very fanbase-driven, the GP knows them but they didn't really consume them, in fact he didn't have a #1 until Purpose. Songs like Never Say Never, Baby, Boyfriend, Beauty And A Beat etc felt huge at the time and they're pretty remembered but not in numbers = billboard. His bigger singles came after Purpose, and as much as they were huge they still had to compete with each other + the huge droplets he had at the time. Stay smashed in a time which was pretty much dead musically, it smashing made it stick in the plain scenario of the time, it explains why it's still Top 5 or something on Spotify Global despite being one year old.
