Snowflake Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Spotify streams: WBT = 406m Hung up = 275m Both songs were the biggest hits of their 2000s eras. Madge stans keep claiming that Hung Up was more global and bigger so why does it have less streams? Did it simply age like milk despite sampling a classic? I didn’t check other platforms but im pretty sure WBT clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suneclipse121 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 WBT is the superior song. But Hung Up is top tier in Madonna’s discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punky Rooster Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Because it was Mariah's only worldwide hit of the 00s, whereas Madonna had at least 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great808 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I didn't know one hit not having as many streams as another hit automatically means it is no longer a hit I'm pretty sure the song sold more than Mariah's anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newuser Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I heard from ATRLers that they heard hung up frequently in gay clubs somewhere in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien M Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 WBT is an actual classic and is remembered (at least in the US). I haven’t heard Hung Up in years, even at the white gay clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Because it's an actually good song and was a real hit. And its best parts weren't ripped from another artist's bigger and more-remembered classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Stratus Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Hung Up alway had an 80/20 chance to age bad/struggle to transition to streaming it’s dance. Whilst M’s fans bump the ‘Katy and Gaga cross 1bn streams in US’ thread they should remember why, or more importanly how Gaga and Madonna captured the demographics they did with the music they did and how that might effect streaming against their peers songs Edited October 14, 2022 by Mr. Stratus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
