Sheeran noted that the song, which was released Dec. 1, has actually been in the works since May. 

"Obviously she had twins [in June], and we finished [the song] in September, so I've been holding onto it since then," Sheeran said of the "Perfect Duet," which was released on Dec. 1.

 

Perfect (solo) was released as a single in September. Y'll are just saying anything at this point

And the remix was anyway released when the song was already a hit.

Which doesn't make your characterization any less inaccurate

And she still got a hit out of a song that was already a hit

ATRL is the only place on earth where a hit collaboration is a downgrade in your career. In reality, a HIT WILL ALWAYS BE A HIT!

you're missing so much if you're only stanning one of these legends  

[ericcartman]

Girl leave Beyonce out of this. You guys and others spent years dragging Bey and now the tables have turned. So the Hive are allowed to drag you back..just take the L and move on..focus on the others

[Great808]

Wbk she ain't **** without her features but not to this extent fr  this put a lot into perspective for everyone on here I see

But you said Beyonce JUMPED on the remix? 

[dman4life]

What's the point of this? She debuted in the 90s and her most recent hit (and number 1) was a solo single in 2024. Y'all gonna have to let this Beyoncé hurt go

I asked ChatGPT:

 

Comparison: Strictly Solo Songs

1. Chart Performance: Beyoncé has had more solo songs chart higher on the Billboard Hot 100 compared to Lady Gaga. Tracks like "Break My Soul" reached #1, while Gaga's solo hits like "Million Reasons" peaked lower.
2. Cultural Impact: Beyoncé's solo songs (e.g., "Formation") are more culturally significant and have had a greater influence in shaping music and culture.
3. Quantity of Solo Hits: Beyoncé released more solo chart-toppers during this period, with fewer features or collaborations compared to Lady Gaga.

Conclusion

In terms of strictly solo songs, Beyoncé is the more successful artist in the past decade, given her higher chart performance, consistent output of solo hits, and cultural impact. Lady Gaga has strong solo works, but her biggest successes (e.g., "Shallow") include collaborations

[Lose My Breath]

She debuted in the 1990s, who cares about any of this

[ShouldersSideways]

Little Monsters were obsessed with bringing up solo #1s against Beyonce until she got one in 2022 (and 2024), which is the entire reason people are laughing at Gaga not having a solo #1 since the first Obama admin.  It's not that anyone believes collaborative #1s don't mean anything, it's funny comeuppance that the tables have turned.

 

None of this stuff matters anyway

[hausofdave]

are we surprised? her last global hit was the during first Obama admin

Oh wow suddenly I LOVE AI.

[Misguided Ghost]

That woman has been around since the 90's and she's still touring the world, having #1's (most recent from last year with her lastest release), is as relevant as ever and you are trying to drag her because people want to work with her - your faves included, not everyone is lucky enough to have her on a song though

I agree for the most part but you realize we can manipulate these GenAI models to say whatever we want right? 

 

[Marla Singer]

So... the majority of her biggest hits are solo? Is that really the best you could come up with?

[pearlmercury]

what do you want us to do with this information?

Jay-Zs, Sean Pauls, and Slim Thugs contributions to the songs usually are a Max of 20-25 seconds whereas Ariana, Bradley and Bruno made up 50% for the song lol. Nice try Liddo. 

 

Changes nothing: Gaga hasn't had a solo hit in a decade while Bey managed to get 3 SOLO hits this decade already. 

Keep coping
