the concept of this thread being made in the 2020s where every #1 song has no impact

Idk how old you are but I felt like you had to be there to get why there were “hits”. Even Protect ya neck, like maybe it’s me but I feel like we lost “street hits” or songs that made waves within the culture but not necessarily a chart topper. Maybe because virality became the metric.

this spent like 7 weeks at the billboard rap #1 spot, ain't never seen anyone talk about it

F*** outta here man

2020s taylor swift

Protect ya neck is a random ass answer lmao

One of the Girls

I swear that song just skyrocketed literally out of nowhere and now it’s one of The Weeknd’s biggest songs. I’m pretty sure it’s in the top 10 of his most streamed songs now lol.

God's plan?

yea travis part is mid

Silk Sonic was a moment that evaporated

The Scotts lasted about one weekend

Trollz with Nicki and 6ix9ine was pure bots

???

It's a banger

didnt know the Scotts was #1 until now lol

project pat stimulus + amazing opening line + the best hook cole has ever wrote

nah i was outside for the scotts that s*** was gettin played heavily

He fr went to a different level on the hook on that song randomly

Most of the trav number ones don’t feel like it

Some of my earliest memories of life is watching the change clothes video

There used to be songs that felt massive and didn’t even make it to billboard hot 100

It was peak covid there was no outside unless you in miami or sweden

Nah but there’s definitely more imaginary hits in the streaming era

I went outside when Bodak Yellow dropped and you felt the impact outside. Same with family ties and a couple others

On the other hand, I’ve literally never heard anyone play Old Town Road anywhere

It’s more hit or miss than it used to be but there’s real impactful songs that have dropped still.

nokia

s*** cringy

That song is ALWAYS on the radio same thing with creepin

OOTG is fire tho

1st page got some head scratchers man lol
