Should be everyone. Jaded and violet Chemistry vastly outsold 

[wish]

This will always be absolutely insane

IIRC “The Climb” was the second longest running AC #1 of all time when it was released as well. Or maybe that was HAC.

Well there are at least 3 songs on that list older than it, so I doubt it. 

[MusicLoverDude]

Ugh Girls Like You being atop is so damn gross.

 

Flowers is allowed to overtake it, even if I've been over the song for months 

[naval23]

The success of this song is truly astronomical - a teaser at New Years Eve special that she hosted to full blown global smash 2 weeks later

 

She went from being radio poison to scoring her 3 biggest radio hits in the past 10 years sans Wrecking Ball with Jaded, Used to be Young and Flowers 

[naval23]

Celine doing that with A New Day Has Come 

[HandsInTheAir]

The way she got this major hit 17 years into her career

Legendary behavior

It was the HAC chart! The Climb spent 15 weeks at #1 there.

 

OT: Only the female hit of the decade!
