base talk Artists that proved peaks on Hot 100 don't always matter

[Armani?]

H.E.R

Slide - #43 4M

Damage - #44  2.95M*

Best Part - #75  7.9M

Could've Been - #76  3.3M

Focus - #100  3.05M*

 

[khalyan]

Lana is the obvious answer 

[Emperial]

C*rdi b

[Armani?]

Nicki Minaj & 6ix9ine - Trollz #1 1.2M

[Rush]

Camila Cabello

[poki]

Britney: Toxic and Oops peaked at #9

[BionicWooHoo]

Xtina w Burlesque 

[NausAllien]

Dirrty is a perfect example of that. Everything about that song, including the outfit and the choreo are super iconic, and yet it peaked at only #48 on the BB Hot 100 (though it was a top 3 in dozens of countries and made it 14 end-year lists).

 

Love On Top from Beyoncé is another good example. The song is very iconic and it will always be linked to the pregnancy announcement that broke Twitter, but it peaked at #20.

 

[2NE1]

Selena Gomez

[Robburro]

no doubt with don't speak 

[naval23]

Nelly Furtado

 

Maneater peaking at #16 but outstreaming #1s of that era including Say It Right, Girlfriend, Big Girls Don't Cry, The Sweet Escape and Give It To Me and many others on Spotify

True I see Burlesque and Dirrty referenced all the time 

[alejandreaux]

Billie came to mind first.
 

look no further than the #64 peaking “lovely” having 2.5 BILLION streams, on par with (or bigger than) all the #1 hits from that year 

[Cain]

Dua, even tho DL1 and FN ‘only’ produced three Top 10 hits, they are huge era’s with huge hits

[MusicLoverDude]

Stevie Nicks: Edge of Seventeen peaked at #11 but it has gone on to be one of the most iconic rock songs in history. 

 

Don't Speak by No Doubt was not allowed to chart because of Hot 100 rules at the time but it is their signature song nonetheless.

AWOLNATION - “Sail” (#17 Hot 100; Diamond)

[Domination]

Nicki Minaj

[Hector]

Christina Perri. A Thousand Years is Diamond even though it only peaked at #31.

Ocean Eyes peaking at #84 and iirc, being 3x plat with several more eligible, yup.

[BtDecember]

Taylor Swift. Many of her biggest hits are not number one hits (Teardrops of My Guitar #13, Our Song #16, Love Story #4, You Belong With Me #2, I Knew You Were Trouble #2, Back to December #6, Style #6, Wildest Dreams #5, Cruel Summer #3)

 

 

Plus she also has popular album tracks (Enchanted, Don’t Blame Me, August)
