The line between popularity and quality is super interesting. Biggest can also mean best, but sometimes it certainly does not. Let's go through a bunch of famous musicians, research what their biggest song is, and determine a few things: is it actually good? Or does it suck? Or somewhere in between? Is it representative of the rest of their discography? Could you make the argument that it's one of their best songs? etc! Comment down below with your thoughts or musicians to go over in a future episode.

This really needs a part 2

Tame Impala is a pretty good example of most popular songs being among the best imo. He's really good at making singles that are just as creative as they are catchy

I agree so much with Taylor swift. While I do actually like shake it off, I hate that it is the only song that represents her to locals who despise her. She has songs like all too well, my tears ricochet, Lavender Haze, champagne problems, tolerate it, and so many others that people ignore.

Lady Gaga's most streamed song is Shallow but her most popular song is probably Bad Romance or Poker Face

I'm amazed that "Levitating" or "Don't Start Now" aren't Dua Lipa's top songs. If they were, I think we could all agree that they would strike the green tier in every category

Umm, to be honest I wouldn't consider "Shallow" as Lady Gaga's biggest song. I'm pretty sure that most people if asked they would tell that "Bad Romance" is her biggest song :v

The gateway idea reminds me of how Kendrick became my favorite artist. I used to not like Kendrick in middle school bc the only songs I knew were DNA and Humble (and his voice sounded weird to me lol), but when I matured a few years later and listened to TPAB and GKMC I was blown away. A lot of my friends who I've gotten into Kendrick haven't listened to him because they don't like DAMN., which if it's your only exposure to Kendrick and you never get to Sing About Me, Wesley's, Untitled 01, etc. its like ur seeing the Wizards version of Michael Jordan.

i recently got into an argument with a friend over taylor swift, i mentioned how much i liked her music and my friend immediately shot me down, i tried to explain how some of her hits like shake it off and me aren’t good representations of the rest of her work and some of her best songs are wayyyy different and my friend said ‘well if they’re actually as good as you say they are why aren’t THOSE the hits’ like 😭 that’s not how music works 😭 something being really good doesn’t automatically mean it’s going to make a world wide hit

I feel like deathbed being beabadoobees most popular song doesnt show how good they are as an artist when they have songs like sunny day, the perfect pair, only if you want to, i can list songs for hours.

"It's a cover of a black soul singer, yes"

This made me think of artists like The Cardigans with "Love Me" They literally made the song to be a stupid catchy tune that wasn't at all like their other music, and ended up hating the song because people loved it so much, and ended up being thier biggest hit. No joke, The Cardigans rule and I highly suggest listening to their other music if you've never heard it.

I kind of laugh at the representative category because for artists like Bowie, Kanye, and even the Beatles, there is no 'representative' of what their sound is, which is what made them such great artists, because they constantly evolved beyond their initial sound, to the point where there is no 'representative'

Alfo media went from "idk what videos to make" to making the best videos hes made so far lmao

I feel like Umbrella was the bigger hit for Rihanna, and represented her a’lot better. The same applies to Lady Gaga, as I feel like Bad Romance was the bigger hit and represented her way better. And I might feel that the Happy slander is a lil too much. It’s not good, it’s not his best, but it’s not the worst thing I ever heard from him. (That honor goes to blurred lines lol) But other than that, nice video.

Everything you said about Creep is how I feel about all of Pablo Honey. Its a good 90's alt rock album! It gets unfair slander because the band would go on to make some of the best rock albums of all time.

Pls make a part 2 of this! I love this

Blank Space is Taylor's most popular. If we forgot streaming Shake it off has more views on YouTube bcoz it was the lead single. The gap is closing tho
And having thinking out loud instead of shape of you and the wedding song..

In the UK, Rihanna's biggest song is definitely Umbrella with 10 weeks at number 1 and I think it ticks all 3 boxes
