[MaxMartin]

Flowers is the bigger hit , it was inescapable.

Anti-hero is the better song 

[punisher]

Anti-Hero was kinda a hit because Taylor's name was attached to it, Flowers is much bigger

Edited November 11, 2023 by punisher

[eli's_rhythm]

Obviously Flowers, but it seems that AH will eventually overtake it on Spotify.

[littlebodybigheart]

a few months ago, i would’ve said flowers.

 

but just looking at the fact that anti-hero came out way before flowers and it’s already above it on global spotify…

[byzantium]

Both are two of the biggest hits of the last year from women decades into their careers.  So I am sure ATRL will figure out how to trash both these songs.  
 

Flowers is probably bigger and that is fine.  Anti-Hero was also massive and is just one of the long list of major hits that Taylor has had (including a second one she got this last year as well).  

 

[enchanted0]

Flowers is a fad

 

still a bigger hit though 

[Hector]

Clearly Flowers.  A far bigger hit globally on the whole. 

[Klein]

Flowers is a bigger hit in 2023. 

 

But looking at their trajectory, it looks like Anti-Hero will end up bigger in the long run. 

[Taemira]

Flowers is the bigger hit. Both are already forgotten now (Anti-Hero's streams from Swifties' streaming farms don't count)

[A Million Lights]

Both are overplayed af on radio

[4Real]

Flowers was bigger. But AH seems to be having more longevity on Spotify oop

[Strawberry Bubble]

Flowers by MILES. Anti-Hero was a moderate hit, flowers is a global smash. I would say that even Cruel Summer is bigger than anti-hero (outside the US). 

[Saintlor]

First month: Flowers

Outside first month: Anti Hero

[Axelios]

AH is bigger in the US, Flowers was bigger globally but lacks the same longevity

Forgotten? It’s still radio spammed and top 25 on the hot 100 11 months after release. You don’t have to lie lol.

 

Both are huge hits and anti hero might eventually out stream because of swifties streaming power combined with eras tour, but the GP globally would be more likely to know Flowers I fear. A singular hit whereas Anti Hero competed with all of midnights + cruel summer.

[Feanor]

"Flowers"

[MonsterTown]

Flowers felt bigger. and Miley doesn't have Taylor's fan base to keep streaming it so yeah.

[davidson]

Flowers is bigger, Anti-Hero is better.

[iamanearthling]

Like all Taylor hits, It will outlive the short shelf life of a Miley hit.

[ImsoLOUD]

Flowers 

[Sailor Moon]

Isn't Flowers the biggest song of the year? (globally).

[cookie]

Flowers

[Ron Ng]

Flowers by far bigger. But Anti-Hero is a better song
