Gaga really turned radio off during the BTW era mess. It’s impressive how she’s still managed to have several big hits since then tho, not relying on radio payola.

Radio was kind of extra ageist with Gaga, and the political messages in BTW/Judas might’ve turned people off, but she still got hits to spite the doubters.

Lorde - 16 years old

Music was truly huge back then huh

Posted

USA was so racist to Avril for being canadian yet she scored a #1 hit without radio help :clap3:

Posted

I am surprised because pop radio wasn’t playing Beyoncé during the 2010s.

Posted

deja vu's longevity, reaching the top 5 four months after it came out :jonny4:

 

also it peaked at #2, blocked by her own song good 4 u

Posted

Watching Beys live transition into legend stats is so cool to see. 

Posted

Has RUTH hit top 5 or no?

Posted

my fav last radio hit was 4 years ago :skull: Her fault for picking horrible single and refusing to promote her crafts

Posted (edited)

i just know one certain member is happy that Xtina is above Britney

I thought "4 Minutes" would've been her last but it was only Top 5 on pop radio, not overall radio. The lack of urban support hurt it, if JT had released it instead solo it would've been a hit on that format most likely like his FS/LS singles

"BREAK MY SOUL" has peaked at #3, not #4 FYI @Feanor.

Yeah pop radio paid her dust because of RTW but urban still had her back. 

Glad her first pop song was embraced by them because with urban only, she wouldn't have been able to place high.

What a legend.

Year for Cheap Thrills is wrong. Should be July 16, 2016, and Sia's age would have been 40 years, 6 months, and 29 days.

Tina went top five with I Dont Wanna Slay? Legendddddddd

 

Come through Adele. Now if she only cared she could have extended her record by at least a few months. We gonna have to wait another five years.

Added to the OP, and indeed, with 64 years she's by far and away the oldest female artist ever to have a top 5 hit on US radio. :clap3:

Sia was so close this year with Unstoppable.
