This is why these types of thresholds, while interesting and partially telling, don't always reveal the full picture.

She didn't have any when VEVO Certified was launched, thus her absence from the OP. That isn't shade, but this thread was just to show where the artists/songs who were highlighted upon its launch 10 years ago yesterday are now.
