OT: People naming songs like BMS and Savage remix desperately when Beyonce's last smash single was from 15 years ago is soo 

“Cuff It” is at over 700M Spotify streams already in just a year which is massive for an artist who debuted in 2003, especially one whose technical debut was 1997. I hate the song and it was inescapable in the U.S., where it’s already over 3x Platinum.

It is only the 39th most streamed song of 2022 and it is already below 600k daily globally. It is a hit but it is not a "smash"

the absolute delusion of grouping these songs together 

 

OT : remove taylor and add Beyoncé who has 4 decades of smashers and counting 

You're right, Hung Up is far bigger than Cruel Summer, Anti-Hero, Cuff It, and Break My Soul

success stans plus people hiding behind taylor to drag other artists

[Bey'Knight]

This is dumb. Many artists surpass this threshold 

[Redstreak]

Some of you have… very generous definitions of “smash hit”

[spree]

I think this thread showcases how stans CLEARLY only listen to their fav and have no knowledge of any other artists.  Dozens and dozens of examples were given, and yet the OP thinks it’s just Taylor. That tells me they don’t listen to anyone else BUT Taylor, and that’s scary.

[Stankonia]

The backfire

 

Rihminder that Janet is still one of only two solo artists with multiple #1s in 3 decades (the other one being her brother)

Peaks? Please

 

You Belong with Me, a 15 year old song, is currently charting on Australia, UK, Ireland, Argentina, Philippines and others.

It's also eligible for diamond in the US.

 

This forgotten Britney song has nothing but peaks next to You Belong with Me.

Beyoncè

 

90’s - say my name, jumpin jumpin 

 

2000’s - crazy in love, irreplaceable, upgrade u, diva, beautiful liar, halo, if I were a boy, single ladies 

 

2010’s - best thing I never had, run the world, drunk in love, partition, formation
