This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. So happy. So interesting. So unique. While it definitely got a ton of recognition + credit, I wanted to give it a little bit more. What are some of your favorite popular, but still high quality songs? Let me know!

closer- by the chainsmokers holds a special place in my heart, it is not outstanding but it is intertwined with my memory to the point I can remember exactly when I heard it for the first time.

Tbh The Beatles are one of the few that achieved this mix of popular and quality, which is why they were so big then and today, and looked upon as legends.

"Why does this have more views than that?"
Because views are not a measure of quality. Simple as that.

Okay but swish swish slaps. I personally love it because of the instrumentals and the ~vibe~ they provide

Is it bad that I absolutely despise this song? In 2014 it got overplayed to fuck in the UK

Bad Romance is also a Song that i always brushed off as just a random electro pop hit, but then i relistened to it, and it's an absolutley incredible song as well, the entire album is immaculate, and worth checking out

Kendrick is the perfect example of how you can create incredibly consumer friendly music, with Catchy hooks and beats, as well as pushing the edge, but not so far that it alienates people, normally it would never work, but he pulls it off

my god, it makes me so happy that you too love this song .i still listen to it bc it's so uplifting. no other "popular song" never stuck with me quite this long tbh. it's how i came to know of this band and it makes me listen to the album and i quite liked it. some other tracks i remember are Something Extraordinary, Dust Clear, Stronger & Heart on fire
