HDYS and Latch won't cross the 1 billion mark soon, but that's still a solid bunch of hits. All from different eras too 

From which site are you taking those screenshots with Spotify data?

 

 

 

Kworb.net has a Spotify section you can look up artists and daily streams of albums and songs

I know you ain’t talking with Shawn’s continuous bomb after bomb…

Shawns *bombs* get healthy streams

That's a fair question seeing these numbers. I feel like Sam flops three times, has a smash hit, and flops again

 

So Sam's not a reliable hitmaker i'd say.

I agree But still an hitmaker just not mostly consistent, but there’s always a smash or two in each era and Sam has been doing this for 11 years straight.

Wanna remind y'all to use Sams correct pronouns of they/them you can get warned for it

Oh I’m sorry I forgot, I don’t normally come across people that use pronouns irl.

I’m surprised at Too Good At Goodbyes having 1bil, I don’t remember it being that big  the rest I can see

[Bethenny Frankel]

because they are utterly insufferable as a person, it's the same thing with demi

But that happens with all the artists considered "hitmakers". Rihanna, The Weeknd, Justin, Dua Lipa, Bruno, Madonna, all those artists have a lot of flops or moderate hits between one smash hit and another. 

Not every release will be a hit.

This is also true.

they were 10 years ago. a fluke with unholy is not changing the flop status given how gloria BOMBED.

 

Spoiler

my gay nightclub loves to play that im not here to make friends song and the entire crowd goes silent and nobody vibes is hilarious how nobody likes or even knows that awful song

Because Sam can be a hit or miss.

[Bey'Knight]

I guess its due to lack of consistency. I get why artists do it but this thing of release orphan singles till something sticks and no album in sight diminishes of the value of said hit. By the time the album comes, they feel tacked on, if added or abandoned if left out.

Their music is not for everyone

 

i can never get into their music period.
