The way I gagged that people didn't love Deja vu... that video is such an inspiration to me
Not only the mv but the song now is also loved by young people. I adore Deja vu sooo much
Cruel Summer was a missed opportunity. Taylor sucks at choosing singles most of the time
she actually learned her lesson with Lover. Ever since Folklore her single choices were amazing. Cardigan, Willow, Anti-Hero, Lavender Haze, Karma, Is It Over Now? and Fortnight were all pretty good choices. Yes, even Fortnight because the song is good but it should´ve been pre-released.
Cruel summer was supposed to become a single for the summer of 2020, but due to covid and her already releasing another album (folklore) it just never happened. She doesn’t suck at choosing singles, it just didn’t go the way as planned
yea
She was in her “Qkrurky era” 😍
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 anti hero is terrible. the lyrics make NO sense and the production is irritating. karma is fine but annoying. Fortnight wasnt terrible considering the rest of the album sucks. But her singles pre lover era kinda ate for the most part. Like wildest dreams, blank space, style, end game, etc
“Million reasons” from lady gaga’s “Joanne”!
If lover song saved the era cruel summer was the redemption it needed. We were begging her for that songle
Hips don't lie !! is the perfect example, don't bother was the 1st single off Oral Fixation vol. 2 and it TANKED, the album was released and it was not selling, Shakira rushed to make the song to save the era, hopefully she made it on time to make it the 2nd single and released a re edition of the album including it and the album started having good sales, it was the only succesful song off the album
Don’t bother wasn’t a bad song
don’t bother is still a masterpiece anyway
Yes I remember being very frustrated… the album I had did not have the added song since I bought it the first week it came out
@ricardorb8856 lol I remember buying the first version of the album to support my shakira so when she released with Hips don't lie didn't felt bad to download it illegally 🤣
@@lunesta6348 samee hahah
Sweet Melody really saved Confetti
Toxic by Britney! Me against the music was the lead single from in the zone and barely cracked the top 40 of the hot 100 debuting and peaking at 36. Toxic was the second single and went to number 9 and was her first top 10 since oops I did it again. It also got her her only Grammy to date
Other choices are "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera - saved Stripped, Jessica Simpson's "With You" also saved her album In This Skin.
Should be noted that Dirrty only flopped in the U.S. where she received backlash for the overtly sexual video... outside of America, Dirrty was a worldwide smash, and to this day remains one of her most played and iconic songs 😊👍
In the UK Dirrty was a number one smash for a couple of weeks. We never considered that single a flop
@@MichaelSmith-zx5lwonly In the UK though… In Latin America it flopped as well… except maybe for Mexico
@hyperpoppin I was talking about Dirrty with him dear, Beautiful was a hit everywhere
@hyperpoppin ok, no hate. In my country “dear” is an endearment term!
Lady Gaga - Million Reasons
@@benjaminv5579 the superbowl saved the era moreso than the song itself. i want to clarify this isnt a bad thing, idk why people always frame that as if its negative lol people are always reaching to frame her as a failure for some reason its weird
@@benjaminv5579 Super Bowl saved this
Gagas new era wasn’t something that people expected at that time so the songs weren’t doing to much. Until Super Bowl that she sang million reasons. That basically saved the Joanne era.
@@famemosterrrrr yeah true. But also, leading the era with perfect illusion imo is what did it in. Its just not a great track let alone to have that be everyones introduction to her new album? It was dead on arrival. She shouldve had million reasons or joanne lead the era imo
@@vanillac0keh3ad perfect illusions personally to me was iconic
This one is a combo….
P!nk’s “U+Ur Hand” and “Who Knew”. The unexpected success of “UUH”, which was the 3rd single off of her “I’m Not Dead” album saved it from flopping and caused the record label to re-release “Who Knew”, which was the initial 2nd single, to climb to the charts and became a top 10 in its own right.
Oh I got anotherrr “my humps” by black eyed peas. And honestly “hollaback girl” by gwen stefani. “I hate this part” by pussycat dolls!!!! “The way I are” by timbaland
B’day is a masterpiece
I LOVE Ring the Alarm. B-Day is my favorite album of hers. It's so much fun.
Breakup Song deserved better
I can't believe people were mad about Deja Vu like I feel disrespected
there are a lot of break up songs... pls. give us a break!
@@nobody34-w4j it's fun and catchy 🤷♂️
But people now love Deja vu
Lover definitely saved the era in it´s own way. It wasn´t as successful as ME! and You Need To Calm Down during Lover era but it gave public and critics much better perspective on this album and also reminded everyone of Taylor´s songwriting powers. Lover aged amazingly, not only it became a Valentine´s Day classic but it outperformed ME! and YNTCD in a long run and became one of Taylor´s signature songs.
I think cruel summer should've been the 2nd single with the summery video, then lover and then the man and yntcd as final 2 singles
Girl you need to make your videos longer! wtf they’re really entertaining but so short! I always want more 😭😂
Me Too!!!!
Toxic saved the In The Zone Era by Britney Spears
Sad because In The Zone has all straight bangers
Ngl I thought you were gonna pick Cruel Summer for Taylor but now that you explained it makes sense why you chose Lover
Cruel Summer also became a single years after its “era” had passed, but it was definitely the biggest positive reaction for any of the singles off Lover, which definitely helped increase the number of fans towards that album
Ariana Grande - we cant be friends (wait for your love)
It was the 2nd single though, it also became #1
"Whole Again" by Atomic Kitten saved the Right Now era, might have even saved the band from being dropped.
Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake
Toxic by Britney Spears
We Belong Together by Mariah Carey
Nonsense by Sabrina Carpenter
@ayebri those album were already selling well though
@@NelsSeth dirrty tanked so there was a quick release of Beautiful to save it
Like I love you underperformed so Cry Me A River and the music video got the hype and the success carried over with the rest of the singles
Like That was not nearly as successful as We Belong Together, WBT essentially revived Mariah’s career and became one of one of her most successful songs ever
Prior to nonsense, none of Sabrina’s songs charted at all.. that song is responsible for her surge in popularity.
@@NelsSeth oh and Me Against the Music hella underperformed given it was a collab with the Queen and Princess of pop. Toxic became the signature song for Britney.
@@ayeyobrianna ya the single did bad in the USa but did great everywhere else at least
@ayebri ya I agree all those single did bad in the US but worldwide they were still massive hit and the album sales were doing fine but I agree that the following singles were more popular than the leads
i would say side to side saved dangerous woman, at the time ariana was still under donut gate scrutiny and both dw single and into you didn’t chart as expected, both like top 10 and side to side really became a global hit and charted so much better
plus focus last year also flopped and they needed to scrap it as the first single of the album
Focus or Into You were NOT flops, especially Into You.💀
watermelon sugar saved fine line. even though lights up is arguably better (and honestly my fave from the album after the title track) it definitely wasn’t that huge, adore you was bigger but also got more radio play after the biggest hit from the album, watermelon sugar, was released and became popular.
I just want to say that "Twink182" is a fantastic channel name. I love it!
Never Be the Same Again by Melanie C featuring the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
Not that the previous two singles from Melanie's debut solo album Northern Star were flops per se (both singles reached No. 4 in the UK) but since they didn't reach No. 1, Melanie's label Virgin was considering ending the promotional campaign for Northern Star but (after some drama of its own) Never Be the Same Again was picked as the third single and it debuted at No. 1 in the UK and also reached No. 1 in six other countries.
It also happens to be my favorite song and if it wasn't for NBTSA, I probably wouldn't know about Melanie since I was born long after the end of Spice Girls' reign over pop culture.
Miley Cyrus' Flowers from summer vacation
No, this album still flop
@@gordonatamuno5238 I see your point, but Flowers was the lead single, so it couldn’t save an era that started with this song 😭😭
My God, your intonation is annoYING
You forgot to mention Cruel Summer - which was featured in the Eras Tour, then released as a single, & was her first Billboard number #1 for ‘Lover’, became Taylor’s biggest hit on Spotify and longest charting song on Billboard.
Little mix❤❤
We can’t be friends, eternal sunshine era
I mean it’s not like yes and flopped.
Lover wasn’t really “saved” cause at that point the album was already the #1 IFPI Album of the Year
Now we need a video on singles that were scrapped and singles that could have been hits and saved underperforming albums.
Rated R is my favorite Rihanna album.
The taste 🔥
Mines too!!
Rain On Me for Chromatica
Bam Bam for Familia
How is nobody talking about "New Rules" by Dua Lipa! It was like ninth single from her debut album and first that had any success outside Europe
I agree with most points during your Taylor Swift Lover era segment but thats not entirely true that she never had tracks like that before. She had Welcome To New York during 1989 which has a line that says "and you can love who you love, boys and boys girls and girls"
Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani has to be an all-time great example. She followed one of the most beloved and successful pop albums of the 2000's with Wind It Up, an electro-pop/alternative-rap track with a fucking Lonely Goatherd sample from Sound of Music and excess moaning and vocal processing that made T-Pain sound like Andrea Bocelli by comparison. Several magazines called it the worst song of the year and even though it reached the Top 10, it plummeted like an anvil in the Grand Canyon immediately afterwards. She'd always had a kooky edge to her music, but this was WAY too much.
But then she followed through with a catchy, inoffensive Akon collab that fit right in with what pop radio listeners of 2007 wanted to hear and scored a Hollaback Girl-sized smash. Nothing off the rest of the album was that big, but it didn't really need to be since that one single was so huge and helped cement the idea that she wasn't some one-era wonder. I fully believe if not for this one song, she would not be anywhere near as well-remembered today as she is now
Wind It Up is bonkers and a great track. But 2006 was an era entirely dominated by a very specific sound. WIU was too weird for radio and critics were a lot less kind to female pop stars back then so naturally they went in when given the opportunity. It deserves reappraisal.
@@vanillac0keh3ad I disagree. I can respect that she took a risk instead of playing it safe (at least at first), but the song is genuinely unpleasant to the ears. To me it just sounds like one unorganized clusterfuck and that she and Pharrell had 1000 ideas and decided to use all of them on one song. What You Waiting For, her previous lead single, was a way better example of her unique style that was both distinctive and enjoyable to listen to
@@cityboy2092 hard disagree, i think its classic gwen. but im not surprised that its divisive, naturally. Its weird. And thats apart of what makes it great.
5:42 I remember when that happened and I pretended that it was January 2014 by saying "NICOLE'S LEAVING KARA!" I was sad, and 5:48 you are right that it has happened before Jesy Nelsons. Bianca Claxton’s leave from the band Parade caused their disbandment on the day of her departure (11 February 2013), their few fans were shocked! Remember when Jessica left SNSD on 30 September 2014 and the S♡NEs were fuming…that day was sad because SNSD were doing something that day and people were suspecting the 9 pleased ladies of SNSD instead of the 8 saddened girls of SNSD on that day due to Jessica Jung’s departure that fateful day. Fifth Harmony suffered from Camila Cabello’s December 2016 leave…and Girlicious had Tiffanie Anderson gone in 2009 due to their then new label Universal Music Canada deeming her “too urban” and this was racist especially because Chrystina Sayers is multiracial
Little mix were able to successfully go on without jesy because no offense but jesy was the weakest member and extremely problematic. Fans and the girls were so done with her. They are all doing solo careers and I’ve been impressed with jade and Leigh Anne the most
Little mix has never had a weak member
@@sebanyc15 jesy
Everyone had their role to play in LM and they all played it well, that when Jesy left, it missed that personal emotional breaky feeling of Jesy"s vibrato in ballads as well as they fact that she was the hype girl for the group during upbeat songs -As a mixer for 10 years (Who was willing to ride at dawn for them on the socials) there was no weak link at all.
Vocally, they balanced each other out and had one of the best group harmonies in the industry in decades, besides choirs
@@junique212 sorry but jesy was the weakest and that’s just the reality of being in a group. They aren’t equal in everything and they aren’t meant to that’s why they work well together because whatever someone wasn’t that strong at others were. They didn’t miss a beat without jesy and I’m saying that without the drama being a reason. I truly always felt she was not as strong as the other girls and her solo career is showing that. She is not meant to be a solo star she was meant to be in a group and that’s ok.
@@sebanyc15 jesy was
Top-tier video, for sure.
Please review Angel of My Dreams by Jade, actually can you do a video of all the Little Mix Members Debut? I think Jade's is my favorite
Omg I’m not kidding I legit started making this video yesterday 💀
@Twink182 great minds think alike 😃 😊
You say Taylor never had a single like "You Need to Calm Down", but the first song on her 1989 album ("Welcome to New York") says, "And you can want who you want: boys and boys and girls and girls".
Hips Don't Lie - Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005-06)
By Shakira.
I think side to side by Ariana grande is a single that “saved” the dangerous woman era because in comparison to my everything, dangerous woman was missing the smash hit single.
In what world was dangerous woman missing a smash hit lol that was one of her most instantly popular albums. She had a streak of those
@@vanillac0keh3ad I’m not saying it’s a bad album, but subjectively the era was missing a smash hit, the lead single came and went, into you didn’t even crack the top 10 ( a crime). Side to side was the smash hit of the album, it was everywhere.
@@vanillac0keh3ad before the release of side to side as a single, dangerous woman was missing its smash hit to go with album rollout , my everything had problem, break free, bang bang
Into You? Dangerous Woman? These were all smash hit singles
@@cgomez5455 idc if you think its a good album or not thats not really the point. Your perspective is incorrect, period. Into you reaching the top 10 is irrelevant considering it was an inescapable and popular song regardless. I think some pop fans look too much at statistics and forget about the cultural zeitgeist of the moment. Britney spears rarely had top 5 singles but her songs were inescapable and impactful. No one would ever say dangerous woman didnt have a smash single before the worst single of the bunch was released lol
I distinctly remember a classmate of mine commenting about Ring The Alarm by Beyonce when it came out; "...way to ruin your career".
Made You Look Meghan Trainor
Yes and no - the album still sold very poorly, despite the song being a smash
“My happy ending” by Avril. I don’t think it was the biggest chart hit, but it’s kinda known as a signature Avril song and I still hear it on the radio in Canada today
As in Avril Lavigne!!
the beyonce criticisms were so stupid
Little mix , dua lipa and gaga carried the pandemic
I still feel like "Sweet Melody" should have been the lead single.
My oh my Camila Cabello form Romance
I would say Señorita. Because “My oh my” was only listened to by fans, and not repeatedly getting airwaves and requested.
Jesy leaving the group wouldnt really affect Little Mix too much simply cuz shes not the "Camila Cabello" of their group
Rated r was her best work. It was dark in tone cos the shit she went through with Chris and matched it to her music. Rude boy I feel should have been on loud and that’s why it was a single. Was a way to introduce loud only months later
Lover was a great album, but the singles made it fail. Even I didn’t fall in line with it till years later and I’m a swiftie
Talking about Rude Boy which I love, you could also do a video about songs that shoulda been singles like her anthemic Fire Bomb, so much better than Rússia Roulette actually
Look At Me Now saved Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E era, and made it an undeniable classic!
Dunues too or however you spell it 😂
Hey can you review emotion album by carly rae jepsen and maybe the kiss albjm too
You should do a part two
De ja vu having backlash is SO FUNNY
Break Up song and Holiday deserved better not gonna lie😭
We Belong Together saved the Emancipation of Mimi album
It’s like that did well and she also had Shake it Off which was doing extremely well too. We Belong together was just the peak but she was already getting crazy buzz for the album. The album didn’t need saving.
Shake it off did pretty good too
She had two other hit songs. Emancipation of mimi was one of her albums
@@Mommyyriah no shit
@@JiafeiProducts6969 i was replying to the clueless taylor swift fan mr obvious
Madonna - Die Another Day
Music was way more successful
@@JiafeiProducts6969 Die Another Day was on the album ''American Life''. Music, was from the album ''Music''. Not the same era!
Hips don’t lie by Shakira! The album was a flop but thanks to that hit, sales skyrocketed
Thong Song by Sisqo!
Saved what exactly? Sisqo's entire first album roll out was perfect! Thong song wasn't even the biggest song on that album it was a ballad Incomplete
toxic saved britney's in the zone era
Mamushi by Megan thee stallion
I mean HISS debuted at no. 1 and EVERYBODY was talking about it
@@alexxquivelYes but HISS was heaaaaavily hyped because of the beef with Nicki Minaj i mean let’s be real the song is not strong or anything special except its a ‘good’ diss track. It is not a memorable #1 song like some of the #1’s that artists like Rihanna or Mariah have. The album is not talked about enough, it’s mid. But Megan is a good rapper! Just not a memorable album maker
I would say that “we can’t be friends” definitely saved eternal sunshine after the american general public didn’t vibe with “yes, and?”
People liked it, its just gen z that didnt vibe with yes and not because it wasnt good but because its a dance/pop song. Unless youre referencing hyperpop, gen z assumes all dance/pop music is generic and soulless. I find gen z kind of regressive in that way. They dont get how pop music can make you feel just by how it sounds not by the artists lyrics telling you what to feel. I blame the popularity of taylor and lana for that precedent being set. The rest of arianas album is a lot more wordy and in line with said precedent
@@vanillac0keh3ad What are you talking about? Levitating, I'm Good (Blue), Blinding Lights, Stay, Cupid, that Shakira/Bizarrap collab, Dance the Night, Break My Soul, and so many other dance-pop songs were big hits in the 2020's. Hell, Ariana herself has had plenty of dance-pop hits (Break Free, Love Me Harder, Into You, etc.) that her fans still eat tf up. We Can't Be Friends isn't even that far off from that sound. Yes And just isn't really anything to write home about
Happier than ever by billie
Great subject for a video🙂
Rude Boy was cute. I forgot about most of the singles off Rated R. I only listen to Fire Bomb.
Fire Bomb is the best song on Rated R and one of her best in general, imo
@@Twink182couldn’t agree more
Worth It - Reflection Fifth Harmony
On my mama- Jaguar 2 Victoria Monet
Toxic - In the Zone
Hi, goood video! But you are wrong about sweet melody! It was us fans that we decided to give Jesy her last number 1 as a farewell. After that LM charted very poorly
shakira Hips don't lies saved her Oral Fixation vol.2 era
Saying that lover (the song) was the song that saved the lover era is crazy when it was the worse performing than the first 2 singles and then not saying that cruel summer saved it which was the song that actually did
Deja Vu MV was controversial???!!! Smhhh
Mirrors Justin Timberlake
Mariah carey we belong together
Side to side saved dangerous woman imo. Even tho i love DW and into you more they only peaked 9 and 13. Side to side peaked at number 4.
A- Wait your turn by Rihanna was never a single, it only charted (kinda) due to digital downloads but was never officially released.
B- Little mix most certainly did NOT have another hit after sweet melody haha there other singles sold like 40,000 copies or something ridiculous lol
The only hit they got after becoming a trio was Heartbreak Anthem, which is understandable as Confetti was the group’s last studio album 😭😭😭😭
Heartbreak Anthem is a hit
I lived thru the bday era. And a while I fuckin hate her now as a grown man. Back then I loved her dearly. And what you said Abiut her is not true. You found a random website to site to say what said. The bday era was iconic so iconic in fact it warranted a special edition rerelease w the Shakira vid as the promo for that.
Hard got higher than Russian Roulette ?!?
we can't be friends for eternal sunshine !!
eternal sunshine was NEVER in trouble
This guy can just talk and talk and talk though like come on speed it up
Where is Britney
We cant be friends cuz eternal sunshine is literally in trenches 😭
I’m surprised that Ariana Grande is not on here
Nobody’s checking for little miss
You forgot Katy Perry - Harleys In Hawaii and Miley Cyrus - Malibu
Malibu was the first single of the era, so there was nothing to "save" lol
@@nooodisaster Despacito and Shape of You were big hits at that time. I passed on Miley's Younger Now album,Kendrick's Damn album did not receive as much attention as Despacito even though it won the Pulitzer.
I still hate You Need To Calm Down, so damn cheesy
A lot of these artists are ridiculously overrated and they’re the reason why pop music SUCKS
Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Madison Beer, and Tate McRae saved pop music
