[Distantconstellation]

 

This is a great big world’s first song to do this and Christina’s second. The Grammy winning song smashed in 2013/2014. 
 

 

[XSuperior]

The power of Legend X, took a song nobody knew and propelled it to be a classic. Critical and commercial success 

 

 

[Shelter]

[Maroonx]

I still love this song x

[dumbsparce]

Another addition to the long list of records LEGEND X holds 

[WEEKND]

Now that is a classic 

 

U can say what u want about X but every other blue moon she serves us a quality bop like this. She looked stunning in the MV too. No notes. 10/10

 

You Lost Me is another gem 

[Chainsmoker]

Legend X

[La Reina]

Let's actually stop and think about how amazing the story of this song is... before Aguilera's version, no one knew about it. Since her duet, the song achieved:

• a GRAMMY win
• peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100
• 6x-platinum RIAA certification as of 2017
• classic ballad of the 2010s decade
• more than 15 million units sold worldwide
• over 1+ billion streams on Spotify

This remarkable feats would not have been possible without Xtina. She really struck gold with this song. Congrats!

What tweet

Christina Perri tweeted a video of a performance of the original Say Something on So You Think You Can Dance and Xtina quote tweeted it out of nowhere. that's how we later found out that she was re-recording this song.
