Say So and Paint the Town Red, if you’re talking about the Hot 100.

 

Kiss Me More would have also went #1 on the Hot 100 if Doja would have promoted it a little bit. I’ll always be salty about that one.

The new pop supreme. Kind of insane tbh 

[Ger]

It's wild the level of hitmaker she is. She truly has been inescapable this decade. 

 

Her singles serving:

Local

Katy's and Rihanna's singles were global hits

[TYMPS]

She honestly has a LOT weaker competion these days tbh, but still impressive!

She’s far from local, Say So, Kiss Me More, Woman, Paint the Town Red were all global smash hits. Yes, Agora Hills is a bit more local but it went viral in Asia at least.

 

OT: Impressive  I fear she’s already one of the biggest hitmakers of all time in the US, but ATRL is not ready for this conversation yet

Local but this is a thread about USA airplay so you sound a little dumb bringing something up that has no correlation to begin with. 

 

Also Doja has 4 top tens on Billboards global 200 excluding USA so trying to say her hits are local is also false. 

[Ms. Togekiss]

aGODra hills deserves 16 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 

[Peak Now]

I've been saying, Doja has 3 #1s from Planet Her era alone (and 5 if you stretch the definition of "era" a bit and throw in I Like You (A Happier Song) and Vegas) and even her relative flop era is getting 2. Chart performance wise she's only behind Taylor this decade 

 

Her hitmaking abilities really don't discussed enough on this site-- like how she managed to bag global hit Paint The Town Red despite shaving her hair, Attention flopping and alleged hate train

this is unbelievable, she was so underrated up until a couple of years ago and still is in some ways 

she literally would have the world at her feet if she only released a full on pop album 

[MingYouToo]

Say So, Streets, Like That, Kiss Me More, Boss *****, Woman, Need To Know, Get Into It Yuh, I Like You, Best Friend, Vegas, PTTR, Agora Hills

 

All from mid 2020 to now is INSANE. The way she went from a niche 2010s internet musician to becoming a literal mainstream hitmaking powerhouse is insane, commercially she's definitely closer to Ariana's successor than what most say Dua is.

She has the ability to take on both Rihanna and Nicki's niche simultaneously. Imagine an album filled with Starships (but better), OGITW, What's My Name's and Super Basses

Kiss Me More

I Like You (A Happier Song)
