Not songs that charted or sold well because they were released by a big artist, had a big push behind them, or were a lead single for an anticipated project, but songs that blew up on their own.

Ended up with almost as many plays as Come & Go on Spotify despite Come & Go being an EDM track w/ Marshmello made for top 40

Managed to become a radio #1 and chart hit despite TLOPs rollout nerfing the sales of the album and its singles

This song wasn't released as a single until 2016, yet is far and away the biggest song on the album and the biggest streaming hit of Cole's career. It even popped into the top 50 on Spotify last week.

Literally a soundcloud joint

Hotline Bling

Song actually dropped in 2019 but it randomly blew up this year so he made a video for it lmao

Chief Keef - I Don't Like

Tekashi 69 - Gummo

Cardi B - Bodak Yellow

xo tour life + codeine crazy

50 Cent - Many Men

Eminem - Till I Collapse

Lil Nas X - Old Town Road(people forget the process it went through before it even went number 1)

GOOD Music - Mercy

Most Tiktok hits

Trap Queen

organic is mostly a myth. if you want a song to blow up you've gotta promote it. i love these songs but this type of thinking gives artists false hope

b**** u guessed it

Charlie D'Amelio - "I'm A Bad B****" featuring Megan Thee Stallion coming soon...

No

Sounds like a hit

There's definitely a difference between songs that enter the charts long after being released and stay there for 20+ weeks and songs that peak when released and stay on the charts for < 20 weeks.

so you think without a label these tracks would have charted for 20+. weeks? without radio spins that the label plays for? without label paid streaming playlisting? without expensive music videos?

Chris Brown Go crazy

Pretty sure masked wolf astronaut song and tone and i song as well

Hotline Bling

For my answers above they're semi organic

Still had a push but a push only goes so far

Also, "Alright" by Kendrick.

That song wounded up standing the test of time more than the other singles from TPAB even though "I" and "King Kunta" were placed to be the breakthrough singles.
