naval23 Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Spotify: Unconditionally: 711,164,353 (+362,666) Never Really Over: 709,385,388 (+78,538) Which one is the bigger classic? Did talent win or lose? 1
Minto Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago never really over streams surprised me tbh wow what a hit
Katy.Kat.23 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I long for the days when Unconditionally was my least favorite Katy song....simpler times.
prettyinpink940 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Unconditionally is the bigger classic, but Never Really Over is obviously the much, much better song. 11 1
rebeltwat Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago NRO is the better song but Unconditionally a bigger classic. I'd be lying if I said that part in the Unconditionally video where her back turns as the car crashes into her and all the flowers start blossoming isn't a classic in and of itself. 1
Witnessed ET Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Uncle Deshawn Ali is obviously bigger, but NRO remains much superior. It's such a perfectly crafted pop song with just the perfect amount of maturity and Katy's signature bright bubbly persona while having a universal theme of love and heartbreak, coupled with an interesting stellar production and musical arrangement. Uncle is also pretty universal and talks about loving someone unconditionally but it's sonically way less interesting than NRO. Also NRO coming at a time when Katy was beyond her peak and it still did so well in numbers tells us that it truly is that song. 1
imason Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago (edited) That's impressive considering the fact that Unconditionally was released before the streaming era took off. Yeah it took time for it to have those numbers but I think Roar really overshadowed the success of Unconditionally, it peaked at #14 on the hot 100 while roar was still in the top 10. Prisim era had some kind of more depth then Teenage dream era. It's a shame how the GP only really sees it as the Roar & Dark Horse era. Those two singles overshadowed the entire album imo. The single choices also could've been a bit better. I don't understand how TIHWD was even a single? Walking on Air was right there. Edited 8 hours ago by imason
Attaboy Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Wow Unconditionally was such an underperformance at the time, I didn't realize it got some footing in streaming Deserved 1
tost1 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Both among her best, but Unconditionally might be my favorite from her. There's just something in the song that hits me on different levels.
taylordswift13 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Two of her greatest songs & deserved so much more
Prodigal Self Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Unconditionally is so much better, it's got that cheesy prism Katy touch y'all apparently love. NRO is just noise 1 1
blown away Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Both are top tier Katy songs, but Unconditionally still wins with a landslide. It's top 3 in her discography.
Gladiator Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago (edited) From an objective point of view, I do view Unconditionally to be the better song... but Never Really Over is perhaps one of her biggest all consuming ear worms in her discography for me and I can listen to it on repeat for days. I can't really do that for Unconditionally, though. Edited 7 hours ago by Gladiator
Kiss It Better Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago peak katy vs hate train katy, this makes NRO look like a mega smash if anything
Nightingale Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago There really was no reason why Unconditionally shouldn't have been another #1 for her. It was always an amazing song
Witnessed ET Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago 1 hour ago, Nightingale said: There really was no reason why Unconditionally shouldn't have been another #1 for her. It was always an amazing song Roar was simply too big, and Dark Horse was already starting to take off to be a monster smash. Uncle Deshawn Ali stood no chance unfortunately.
Princess Aurora Posted 49 minutes ago Posted 49 minutes ago Unconditionally is the ultimate Katy Perry hit after Teenage Dream, Roar, California Girls, and Firework
zoldyck Posted 22 minutes ago Posted 22 minutes ago Unconditionally is one of my fave katy song, lyrics and mv are gorgeous. Too bad it was cannibalised by being sandwiched between two biggest smashes.
