Just a Gay on ATRL Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I don’t think this is something people actually care about irl. The only distinction I’d say people might note is if the artist is a lead artist versus simply a feature. That is more important than solo vs not, imo. A #1 is #1 to the GP. Half the GP couldn’t even tell you exactly what songs are #1 off the top of their heads. But what makes a smash that includes another artist any different than a “solo” #1? Solo #1s still include co-writers, producers, etc. I’m just confused when this distinction became so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♛| Rex_Sove Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 It was only used as a lame drag for certain artists. I feel like we'll be seeing less of that narrate in the future. I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Just now, Fnooky said: The whole 'solo' trend was started by Little Monsters in an attempt to discredit Katy’s, Rih’s and Bey’s unattainable success in the singles department. It has also been weaponized against Ariana many times before the release of TUN and 7R. But these days it clearly turned into a classic case of you reap what you sow.

Hallad173 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It’s interesting how so many want the Hive to turn down today now that certain narratives are being dismantled. It’s always been apart of the game of undercutting someone’s success. it’s been a major source of shade or acclaim for years but now that Beyoncé has another one in the basket, it’s a weird obsession and everyone shouldn’t focus on that detail? Not putting words in your mouth, but just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalism Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) There was a time when most singles were solo in the early 2000s. But by the end of the decade a lot of hits with features started and people(mainly the liddos) started using it against Rih, Bey and Katy Edited August 9, 2022 by Digitalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGKC Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Bey not having a solo #1 since the Bush admin was always the narrative in an attempt to downplay all her hits and classics on urban radio. The microagressions against Bey were real and that’s where the obsession came from. Don’t act surprised now, OP. Just the other month people were joking about Telephone being Bey’s last hit as if she doesn’t have at least a dozen singles that outstreamed it… even Halo peaked at #5 and is literally bigger than most girls #1 hits. The mental gymnastics And specific criteria ATRL came up with to justify Beyoncé “not having hits” between 2010-2020 was always transparent. Even Love On Top out-streamed hits spawned by girls who are flopping less than 10 years into their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the entire narrative around Gaga since ASIB was that she can’t get solo hits.

Into The Void Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 There's too much emphasis on getting a #1 hit in general. Some top 20 hits are infinitely bigger than forgotten #1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
