Songs that basically rode the coattails of its predecessor and became a hit off of its steam and branding.

This clone followed "Papa was a Rolling Stone" and became a #7 on the Pop charts and #1 hit on the R&B charts.

Excellent example.

save your tears, even tho i love that song

Oh y'all like Clocks? Let's do it again!

this is better than clocks

Just realised this is one of the loudest songs I've ever heard, it sounds like 40% on minimum volume, why did they do this

never in a million years lol

Not really, it released with the album and grew legs

Ariana stimulus gave him another #1. Song is one of his most boring honestly but not a bad song.

it would’ve been somewhat big, but blinding lights gave weeknd ultra radio powers for at least a few years

clocks is the most overrated coldplay song and insanely boring except for the little piano part

To think Heartless originally charted higher

With all due respect, this was only a hit because it was a sequel to a beloved hit (Love Child) and slightly resembled it.

absolutely crazy to think about nowadays

you love disrespecting classics lol it thrills you

I live for it

my boy

they not gonna like this one but this might be the best example in recent memory

lil nas x discog

No, that was a hit in its own right. Dudes were singing chorus off the snippet alone

I like the guy but this is true, song doesn't have all that much going for it
