Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” will always be the example of a comeback. And THANK YOU for mentioning P!nk! That single revived her career and allowed “Who Knew” to get another chance and become a hit in its own right!!
I'd say it did more than reignite it, it broadened her audience and gave pause to a huge section of people who dismissed her songs due to their connection to the conveyer belt style production of Stock, Aitken and Waterman in the early days of her music career, during the 80's
What’s Love Got to Do with It. I can't believe it’s been a year since Tina Turner died. Leaving Ike was the best decision she made even though she had hardships from that.
@@williamslater-vf5ym He was a freeloader. Ike couldn't sing and play fer shit. So, what was he doing singing and playing behind her? Pulling her down. Making sure she didn't run off with his free ride.
American Idiot is a really really garbage album. Are you an adult? If you are an adult then you have no excuse for praising American Idiot. Unless it's just nostalgia. Basically my question is this, are you an adult who genuinely enjoys that album for it's musical merits?
@@galevalenti7759 according to Wikipedia "Gaye was shot twice following an altercation with his father, after he intervened in an argument between his parents. ...." this is what the mother said ".I was standing about eight feet away from Marvin, when my husband came to the door of the bedroom with his pistol. My husband didn't say anything, he just pointed the gun at Marvin. I screamed but it was very quick. He, my husband, shot - and Marvin screamed. I tried to run. Marvin slid down to the floor after the first shot" "... The first shot, which proved to be fatal, entered the right side of Gaye's chest, perforating his right lung, heart, diaphragm, liver, stomach, and left kidney before coming to rest against his left flank. Marvin Sr. stepped closer after the first shot and shot him a second time at point-blank range.." does not sound like self-defense for me at all
I can't believe sometimes that "Smoke On The Water" is over 50 now. It was almost the National Anthem the year it came out - could NOT avoid it on the radio (not that I wanted to). Not that it's the only great oldie I can think of....
As much as I love Mariah Carey being on this list, the m I still glaring omission from this list has to be "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf. Meatloaf was already considered a long time has-been when he released that single, which revived his career.
Yep - Their previous album was Liberty and first single Violence Of Summer (not a bad song at all) both stiffed big time - Ordinary World is one of their best, very direct, and I think heartbreaking too, with hope as well. It was really a triumph for Duran Duran, and deserved to be a smash.
As I recall, the Red album was the first album they had where the label FORCED them to use external writers. Heart themselves had gone pretty dry on writing by then.
There's also Maroon 5 who released the massive hit "Moves Like Jagger" in 2011 with Christina Aguilera, which revitalised both of their careers as well as a spot on the voice as Adam Levine and Christina have both been known for their work on the voice. Even though Maroon 5 doesn't sit well with the public nowadays, this was definitely a boost to get their popularity back on streaming services.
1. AC/DC - Thunderstruck The second half of the 1980s was not very successful for the band, and, reaching the 1990s, with the oversaturation of the hard rock scene, there were speculations that AC/DC would fall into obscurity. The Aussie band however made a glorious return with The Razor's Edge (1990), which features their most famous song to date, "Thunderstruck". 1993's Big Gun from Last Action Hero solidified their stay into the mainstream, and 2010's Iron Man 2 would allow them to make another awesome comeback. 2. Gwen Stefani - Sweet Escape Gone were the days of No Doubt, but this song transformed the blonde bombshell from an alternative band's vocal into a household name with a very successful solo career. 3. Daft Punk - the Tron: Legacy soundtrack Daft Punk are icons of the European EDM scene, with their song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" being a mainstream icon. Kanye resurrected the song in 2007, but their real comeback came in 2010, when they made the soundtrack for Tron: Legacy, which is a greatly underrated masterpiece, but showed their greatness. The release of "Random Access Memories" in 2013 made them get to the top of the charts, especially with Pharrell Williams and "Get Lucky". They were on top and remained there until their split in 2021.
We're Lacking Kylie here and Madonna... both Twice... with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and "Padam Padam" in case of Kylie and "Frozen" and "Hung Up" with Madonna
@@rockablity_hound1716 yeah and look at the list, it’s like no other market than Americans exist 🙄🙄🙄 I remember being so bored listening to „we belong together” back in the day and couldn’t get why is it so popular
I was so damn naïve when I first heard "U + Ur Hand"; I seriously thought it was P!nk being romantic and saying to her boyfriend: "Tonight it's you and me holding hands." 😮😅😂
Hahahaha! I love this! I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who hears lyrics wrong. (But even after I learn the right ones, I still sing the wrong ones)
I remember being about 7 or 8 yrs old, cruising with my aunt in the 70's in her beautiful black Mustang with red interior. She always had Santana blaring from the stereo. Great memories. Rest in peace Aunt Starla.
OK, I'll go there. Donny Osmond "Solder of Love". When it was released, DJ's were instructed not to reveal the artist. After a few days of play and word of mouth, they started plugging Donny's name.
John Farnham and You're The Voice. Was up shit creek there in the mid 1980s. Then his manager Glenn Wheatkey mortgaged his own house to get You're The Voice on the charts. It became his biggest hit worldwide
That cover of one of Talking Heads' greatest songs he did with The Cardigans - Burning Down The House - also comes to mind. That song and clip alone put Tom Jones back into the limelight for a newer (at the time) generation that would never have given him a chance otherwise.
"much memed" my dudes, "smooth" is to this day still widely considered one of the best pop-rock songs in existence. there's a reason it took home three grammy awards and it's still beloved twenty five years later. yes, it got memed, but to use that as the metric for "smooth"'s success? really?
What about U2 releasing Beautiful Day. They started going off the rails with mixed reception from the Pop album in the 90s but their career rebounded with Beautiful Day.
I found Pinks resurrection song strange here. U &ur hand was a moderate hit in Europe. The other singles were way bigger. Yet in the states this song revived her career. You can see why labels have conflicts in which singles are released in which territory. The American market seems to be very unpredictable.
I understand why "U+ ur hand" was a success, but in way does it compare to "Who knew", it doesn't need any public recognition because it's simply that good.
Don’t forget that on this side of the pond in Europe, P!nk was still rocking it from the Try This era and the two singles Stupid Girls and Who Knew. P!nk has never had a bad spell in Europe or Australia. 💙💛
N○ 1, of course... Prince with "The most beautiful girl in the world" ! Everybody was saying he was finished with the name change and the lack of success... He putted out this single independantly, away from the majors in 94 and hit top of charts in many countries in Europe... for à pure artist like him, this song probably saved his life too.... Can’t beleive you don’t mentionned it 😮
C'mon Meatloaf. I'd do anything for love. He came out with that song like 20 years after his last his. Not only was it a huge hit, it was actually a bigger hit than any of his prior songs. It was his only song to hit nunber one. So, length of time between hits and highest chart position should easily put him at number one on this list
The Chili Peppers should definitely be on this list... TWICE! After John's departure in 1992, where he spiraled down in drug addiction and Anthony fighting his own battle with drug addictions, Dave Navarro came in and they recorded One Hot Minute. At the time and now considered a great underrated album, it was an underwhelming album compared to Blood Sugar Sex Magik. John came back in 1998 and they recorded Californication, which became their most successful album. The Chili Peppers released 2 more terrific albums in By The Way and the grammy award winning Stadium Arcadium. John left again in 2009 and they released 2 albums, I'm With You and The Getaway, which were still good, but nothing close to what they released prior to the 3 albums mentioned above. Not saying that Josh was terrible or anything, he just didn't have that Frusciante genius. In 2019, John came back and the Chili Peppers' sound return to form with Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen. Like I said, 2 great comebacks in their career.
Aerosmith x Run DMC version of Walk This Way is many times better than their original version and is still a banger. Santana also made a great move with getting Rob Thomas to sing on Smooth, his voice just feels right for this song
1:50 - Many people skipped “Try This”? You’re joking right? It’s where she won her only Grammy (Trouble), and it has one of her most popularly used songs in films (God is a DJ).
it was 5 years and she was completely written off by everybody, she struggled to get re-signed, after having a #1 every year of the 90s and being the biggest selling artist of the 90s to not being able to chart and getting paid to leave her virgin contract, it was an almighty comeback no one saw coming.
I was so excited when P!nk released U+UR Hand in 2006. I just knew it was gonna bring her back to the spotlight where she belongs. Cher & Tina = Legends! After Glitter and Charmbracelet, I thought Mariah was done & that made me so sad because I am such a fan, but when TEOM was released and she went back to #1 I seriously got chills!!!
Madonna herself had a couple of moments of her own. After her early 1990's Erotica era, she was being quickly shelved as a 1980's has-been, but then she released Frozen and she experienced a massive career revival. Next decade, she struggled after her original American Life music video nearly destroyed her career. She then released her massive hit Hung Up and started what some nowadays call Madonna's last era of mainstream greatness. One or the other should be considered in this list far more than others were.
American Idiot should 100% be on this list. Green Day went from contemplating if they even wanted to keep making music before that album to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world again.
One you missed, and it isn't insignificant...Jive Talkin', the Bee Gees. Their career was in the dumpster by the mid 1970's, and Jive Talkin' brought them slowly back into the limelight as well as up the charts. Their history from that point on...pretty well known little soundtrack titled "Saturday Night Fever". Just sayin'.
Back in the day - Bobby Vinton record sales were drying up and was informed his contract would not be renewed. He released his final song, My Melody Of Love, with lyrics in English and Polish about his farewell to his career. And that was that. Except. It unexpectedly became an international hit revitalizing Bobby's career which lasted for many more years until his death. There are many cases like this - sort of the opposite of a one-hit wonder.
I know it was very recent but I think Miley Cyrus "Flowers" needs to be added to this or future lists like this. Eminem's new "Houdini" song is also a good one!
It's bad when people use it as a crutch to cover for bad singing. I like how it's used in "Believe" - not as a crutch, but as a small element of the song. And also with T-Pain, who used it everywhere to create his signature sound.
Saved how? The album she put out before she co-starred with Bradley Cooper in "A Star is Born" was Joanne in 2016. That album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum (her fourth album to debut at #1). Following the release of Joanne's second single, "Million Reasons" she was the headliner for the Superbowl Half-time Show in 2017, which gave the "Million Reasons" single a boost back into the top 10 and a boost to album sales as well. "A Star is Born" and "Shallow" both came out in 2018 so it seems like she was on a pretty steady trajectory of success. The movie and the song were both brilliant - I think some of her absolute best work - but her career was doing just fine when "Shallow" came out.
@@allih8021 Personally, "Shallow" feels pretentious. Another song that dealt with the theme of love was 2006's "Falling Slowly" by The Swell Season from the movie Once.
@@allih8021I love Joanne & it has some of her best writing, no doubt. But in regards to her career, the casual listener didn’t really give it a second listen. I remember so many people online & critics saying how they wanted “old Gaga” back & Million Reasons didn’t peak at #3 (or #4) until after the Super Bowl. Joanne laid the groundwork but Shallow (whether you like the song or not, I was bigger fan personally of I’ll Always Remember Us This Way) put her comeback into overdrive. The song is now the most awarded song is history & (unless you had been following her vocal trajectory like the Sound of Music tribute or her Frank Sinatra tribute) this was the first time the GP had heard her vocal abilities & reintroduced her back into the general public’s favor. You make excellent points & I totally agree with you but Shallow, personally, I think was the moment the whole world went “I need to go back & listen to Gaga”. Once again, you make very valid points and I totally agree with you, but these are just my personal opinions
@@highro13 I think it's fair to say that Shallow was a boost and definitely catapulted her back into the forefront, but she wasn't exactly struggling prior to that. She was still doing fine.
Should've been at least an honorable mention: "Thunderstruck" for AC/DC in 1990. The band members were having deep personal problems prior to this, and this single, along with its accompanying album "The Razor's Edge" marked AC/DC's revival.
@@johncmitchell4941 absolutely argree with you. It's going to be interesting to see what will happen at Hollywood studios when it comes to the Aerosmith coaster. When it comes to that one , it was closed due to a refurb on it for a few months.
I thought it was going to be about their power ballad "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." It was released in 1998 when they were past their prime, but became their first and only #1 hit in the United States, introducing Aerosmith's music to a new generation and is still famous and well-regarded today.
@@johnanderson9765 Nine Lives went multi platinum the previous year and had two top 40 singles. They were on a better commercial streak in the 90s than the 70s.
UK here and I've never heard this song. I don't think it ever comes up on lists on music channels in the UK. Went and looked, went in charts at 64 and reached 18. Streaming chart was 94 out of 100.
@@tracyconnor6166 From the Philippines here. Filipinos LIVE for cheesy, corny songs like this. This and Just The Way You Are are almost always in karaoke and salon/barbershop/restaurant playlists.
@@zidvicious6047 I'm Filipino too... I also don't like Hey Soul Sister and Just The Way You Are but I rather choose them over BINI, SB19, Hev Abi and other OPM Rappers which are garbage...
I can't believe you left out Kylie's greatest comeback in gold lame hotpants! That was an epic comeback after many difficult years trying to shake off her bubblegum image. Please add Spinning Around to your next comeback video.
Technically. "Walk This Way" was a cover by Run DMC, not a new version - and technicallly wasn't Aerosmith saving their own career, but having their career saved by a big hit cover. RunDMC DID hire Tyler and Perry to back them on it though, on the recording AND the music video - and have said they would have hired the whole band if they could have afforded it. I do grant that cover saved Aerosmith's dying career.
One name missing from this list that features a comeback even more unlikely than Santana: Buckcherry. The band had a strong start with their self-titled 1999 album that had them at the forefront of smut rock, but the band released a dud of a follow-up and disbanded altogether by 2002. Then in 2006, the group gets back together and puts out the song Crazy Bitch, instantly becoming the anthem for every bachelorette party for the end of time. The song spearheaded their most commercially successful album and has led to a career that continues to this day.

Who's zooming who? revived Aretha Franklin's career in the 80s, especially with the single Freeway of Love
"much memed" my dudes, "smooth" is to this day still widely considered one of the best pop-rock songs in existence. there's a reason it took home three grammy awards and it's still beloved twenty five years later. yes, it got memed, but to use that as the metric for "smooth"'s success? really?
That pink album try this had trouble on it, which was an amazing song. And it did catch on.
It tanked the Billboard charts BUT the movie White Chicks gave Trouble a good kick.
Pink's ''Stupid girls'' is STILL relevant today.
What about U2 releasing Beautiful Day. They started going off the rails with mixed reception from the Pop album in the 90s but their career rebounded with Beautiful Day.
Indeed, but especially in the US market. In Europe, Pop and the Popmart Tour actually performed well, the album even produced 3 Top 10 hits in the UK.
I think the Album Songs of Innocence kinda did the same thing. Sure, they forced it on everyone's iTunes account, but it worked.
great song - however, they continued the journey after that...
Pink may have had a slump in the USA, but not in Australia, she has a big fan base downunder.
I found Pinks resurrection song strange here. U &ur hand was a moderate hit in Europe. The other singles were way bigger. Yet in the states this song revived her career. You can see why labels have conflicts in which singles are released in which territory. The American market seems to be very unpredictable.
Traveling Wilburys helped a few career.
I have two suggestions: James Brown ("Living in America") and Ricky Nelson ("Garden Party").
I'd add Bon Jovi's It's My Life and Dream Theater's Dance Of Eternity :D
Coming Around Again by Carly Simon should be on here. What a legendary comeback single!
I understand why "U+ ur hand" was a success, but in way does it compare to "Who knew", it doesn't need any public recognition because it's simply that good.
We belong together staying at the top for 14 weeks will forever be iconic
And not because of streaming especially on Spotify like the last 5 years of todays number 1 songs.
I was really expecting to see Maria by Blondie on this list. I consider it one of the greatest comeback songs EVER.
Great song! However, nothing since...Love Blondie though - bought the CD and "Parallel Lines" was the first album I ever bought.
Don’t forget that on this side of the pond in Europe, P!nk was still rocking it from the Try This era and the two singles Stupid Girls and Who Knew.
P!nk has never had a bad spell in Europe or Australia. 💙💛
Feel like there could have been a mention of Madonna - Hung Up
Tina Turner's comeback came in 1983 with her cover of Al Green's Let's Stay Together with the BLF.
Aerosmith and Run DMC is so legend
N○ 1, of course... Prince with "The most beautiful girl in the world" ! Everybody was saying he was finished with the name change and the lack of success... He putted out this single independantly, away from the majors in 94 and hit top of charts in many countries in Europe... for à pure artist like him, this song probably saved his life too.... Can’t beleive you don’t mentionned it 😮
C'mon
Meatloaf. I'd do anything for love. He came out with that song like 20 years after his last his. Not only was it a huge hit, it was actually a bigger hit than any of his prior songs. It was his only song to hit nunber one.
So, length of time between hits and highest chart position should easily put him at number one on this list
The Chili Peppers should definitely be on this list... TWICE!
After John's departure in 1992, where he spiraled down in drug addiction and Anthony fighting his own battle with drug addictions, Dave Navarro came in and they recorded One Hot Minute. At the time and now considered a great underrated album, it was an underwhelming album compared to Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
John came back in 1998 and they recorded Californication, which became their most successful album. The Chili Peppers released 2 more terrific albums in By The Way and the grammy award winning Stadium Arcadium.
John left again in 2009 and they released 2 albums, I'm With You and The Getaway, which were still good, but nothing close to what they released prior to the 3 albums mentioned above. Not saying that Josh was terrible or anything, he just didn't have that Frusciante genius.
In 2019, John came back and the Chili Peppers' sound return to form with Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen.
Like I said, 2 great comebacks in their career.
Blah blah blah, nothing you have said matters, the red hot chilli peppers have been garbage for a long long time
@@TrevorParsnips Whatever helps you sleep at night...
@@jonathanmartin8113 you got rid of my comment...
Smooth is one of my favorite favorite songs of all time!
Aerosmith x Run DMC version of Walk This Way is many times better than their original version and is still a banger. Santana also made a great move with getting Rob Thomas to sing on Smooth, his voice just feels right for this song
Gives a massive shout out to crossovers!!
I wouldn't say it's better than the original, but they both are enjoyable in my opinion.
@@tedfebo1741 In my opinion version with Run DMC is more energetic and for me is nicer to hear
1:50 - Many people skipped “Try This”? You’re joking right? It’s where she won her only Grammy (Trouble), and it has one of her most popularly used songs in films (God is a DJ).
I thought I would see "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue.
Californication (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Get Lucky (Daft Punk)
Incomplete (Backstreet Boys)
Meatloaf!!! "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that". 🙂
9:00 “man it’s a hot one… 100 chart topper.” Classic line 😆
Mariah was your #1 choice over Tina??? Mariah only had a couple of years between Glitter and her "comeback song" We Belong Together. LOL!
That was my exact thought.
it was 5 years and she was completely written off by everybody, she struggled to get re-signed, after having a #1 every year of the 90s and being the biggest selling artist of the 90s to not being able to chart and getting paid to leave her virgin contract, it was an almighty comeback no one saw coming.
@@ElkahJones That may be true, but to be the #1 is a JOKE! Number 6 or 5 is more like it.
@@rrubio6660 but we belong together was a massive hit it was number 1 for 14 weeks like that’s insane
@@michaelpark3823 I think you're missing the whole point, but I won't hold it against you.
Honourable mentions:
Hozier - Too Sweet
Bon Jovi - It's My Life
Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous
another honorable mention could be Johnny Cash - Hurt
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today. George said “nobody will buy that morbid son of a b***” but he was wrong. It rescued his career.
@@toddnorman8939 I was thinking this.
I was so excited when P!nk released U+UR Hand in 2006. I just knew it was gonna bring her back to the spotlight where she belongs. Cher & Tina = Legends!
After Glitter and Charmbracelet, I thought Mariah was done & that made me so sad because I am such a fan, but when TEOM was released and she went back to #1 I seriously got chills!!!
Madonna herself had a couple of moments of her own.
After her early 1990's Erotica era, she was being quickly shelved as a 1980's has-been, but then she released Frozen and she experienced a massive career revival.
Next decade, she struggled after her original American Life music video nearly destroyed her career. She then released her massive hit Hung Up and started what some nowadays call Madonna's last era of mainstream greatness.
One or the other should be considered in this list far more than others were.
American Idiot should 100% be on this list. Green Day went from contemplating if they even wanted to keep making music before that album to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world again.
One you missed, and it isn't insignificant...Jive Talkin', the Bee Gees. Their career was in the dumpster by the mid 1970's, and Jive Talkin' brought them slowly back into the limelight as well as up the charts. Their history from that point on...pretty well known little soundtrack titled "Saturday Night Fever". Just sayin'.
Good you point though many forget that they had a career before the disco music.
Back in the day - Bobby Vinton record sales were drying up and was informed his contract would not be renewed. He released his final song, My Melody Of Love, with lyrics in English and Polish about his farewell to his career. And that was that. Except. It unexpectedly became an international hit revitalizing Bobby's career which lasted for many more years until his death. There are many cases like this - sort of the opposite of a one-hit wonder.
forgot about Donny Osmond "Soldier of Love"
Maybe this should've been a top 20 list.
I would have thought Meatloaf might've been on this list.
I know it was very recent but I think Miley Cyrus "Flowers" needs to be added to this or future lists like this. Eminem's new "Houdini" song is also a good one!
And Cher has to be on here several times. I never thought her to be gone......but damn the comebacks.
I love Cher, Pink, Tina Turner and Mariah Carey. ❤
In Europe a-ha hat a big hit with summer moved on in 2000. Her last big hit before was crying in the rain in 1990
Fairly sure they were using auto-tune before Believe, it was just the song that made the public aware of it.
Auto tune is such shit. How many popular RnB songs use it these days? People can't sing anymore they just A-T the hell out of it..
It's bad when people use it as a crutch to cover for bad singing. I like how it's used in "Believe" - not as a crutch, but as a small element of the song. And also with T-Pain, who used it everywhere to create his signature sound.
Cher has hits every decade so she has always been at the top of her game never needing a comeback 🤷🏼♀️
“Shallow” not only saved Lady Gaga’s career but elevated her right back to megastar status overnight
Saved how? The album she put out before she co-starred with Bradley Cooper in "A Star is Born" was Joanne in 2016. That album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum (her fourth album to debut at #1). Following the release of Joanne's second single, "Million Reasons" she was the headliner for the Superbowl Half-time Show in 2017, which gave the "Million Reasons" single a boost back into the top 10 and a boost to album sales as well. "A Star is Born" and "Shallow" both came out in 2018 so it seems like she was on a pretty steady trajectory of success. The movie and the song were both brilliant - I think some of her absolute best work - but her career was doing just fine when "Shallow" came out.
@@allih8021
Personally, "Shallow" feels pretentious. Another song that dealt with the theme of love was 2006's "Falling Slowly" by The Swell Season from the movie Once.
@@allih8021I love Joanne & it has some of her best writing, no doubt.
But in regards to her career, the casual listener didn’t really give it a second listen. I remember so many people online & critics saying how they wanted “old Gaga” back & Million Reasons didn’t peak at #3 (or #4) until after the Super Bowl.
Joanne laid the groundwork but Shallow (whether you like the song or not, I was bigger fan personally of I’ll Always Remember Us This Way) put her comeback into overdrive. The song is now the most awarded song is history & (unless you had been following her vocal trajectory like the Sound of Music tribute or her Frank Sinatra tribute) this was the first time the GP had heard her vocal abilities & reintroduced her back into the general public’s favor.
You make excellent points & I totally agree with you but Shallow, personally, I think was the moment the whole world went “I need to go back & listen to Gaga”. Once again, you make very valid points and I totally agree with you, but these are just my personal opinions
lol you’re delusional.
@@highro13 I think it's fair to say that Shallow was a boost and definitely catapulted her back into the forefront, but she wasn't exactly struggling prior to that. She was still doing fine.
Should've been at least an honorable mention: "Thunderstruck" for AC/DC in 1990. The band members were having deep personal problems prior to this, and this single, along with its accompanying album "The Razor's Edge" marked AC/DC's revival.
Emancipation of Mimi is one of the greatest albums of all time
Just like a pill is what saved PINK! Her best song ever!
When Mary J Blige and Mariah Carey both released their comeback songs in 2005? It was over with!
Be without you was and is an absolute bop!
Where's Blondie? Maria was a great song after them not being in the charts for 15 years.
Leave Me Alone was my favorite off that Pink album, and all those songs are still in my workout playlist!
Aerosmith! ❤
Did you hear about how they were stopping touring
@@Reaperguy67 Something about Steven's voice showing our age (70s), and no performance would be the same without him.
@@johncmitchell4941 absolutely argree with you. It's going to be interesting to see what will happen at Hollywood studios when it comes to the Aerosmith coaster. When it comes to that one , it was closed due to a refurb on it for a few months.
I thought it was going to be about their power ballad "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." It was released in 1998 when they were past their prime, but became their first and only #1 hit in the United States, introducing Aerosmith's music to a new generation and is still famous and well-regarded today.
@@johnanderson9765 Nine Lives went multi platinum the previous year and had two top 40 singles. They were on a better commercial streak in the 90s than the 70s.
"Which currently struggling artist do you think deserves a comeback?"
*cues J.Lo
Well played, Mojo. LOL
Hey Soul Sister is a song I wish I could unhear. It’s so overplayed to this day where I’m from.
UK here and I've never heard this song. I don't think it ever comes up on lists on music channels in the UK. Went and looked, went in charts at 64 and reached 18. Streaming chart was 94 out of 100.
@@tracyconnor6166 From the Philippines here. Filipinos LIVE for cheesy, corny songs like this. This and Just The Way You Are are almost always in karaoke and salon/barbershop/restaurant playlists.
@@zidvicious6047
I'm Filipino too...
I also don't like Hey Soul Sister and Just The Way You Are but I rather choose them over BINI, SB19, Hev Abi and other OPM Rappers which are garbage...
I can't believe you left out Kylie's greatest comeback in gold lame hotpants! That was an epic comeback after many difficult years trying to shake off her bubblegum image. Please add Spinning Around to your next comeback video.
With "Where the wild Roses grow" she already had a mini comeback, but yes- "Spining around" brought her back on the big stages.
Hey Soul Sister will ALWAYS put me in a good mood 😊
Womanizer by Britney Spears is catchy af!
Technically. "Walk This Way" was a cover by Run DMC, not a new version - and technicallly wasn't Aerosmith saving their own career, but having their career saved by a big hit cover.
RunDMC DID hire Tyler and Perry to back them on it though, on the recording AND the music video - and have said they would have hired the whole band if they could have afforded it.
I do grant that cover saved Aerosmith's dying career.
Number one should have been hurt by Jonny cash.
I’m waiting for Bruno Mars to comeback
Where is he lately??? He was everywhere & then crickets ..
@@eviehammond9509
Last heard featured on Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" then nothing.
There's a rumour he will release a song with Lady Gaga this week 🎉
@@lura8485
Thanks so much for the update! It was so very kind of you!!
One name missing from this list that features a comeback even more unlikely than Santana: Buckcherry.
The band had a strong start with their self-titled 1999 album that had them at the forefront of smut rock, but the band released a dud of a follow-up and disbanded altogether by 2002.
Then in 2006, the group gets back together and puts out the song Crazy Bitch, instantly becoming the anthem for every bachelorette party for the end of time. The song spearheaded their most commercially successful album and has led to a career that continues to this day.
We need more 80s music!
Alice Cooper Poison! Hello!
It's heartbreaking how we lost Marvin Gaye. It should never have happened.
I can listen to Smooth, anytime, anywhere!
Why, Why, Why by Shawn Mendes should be his comeback song. ❤
Mariah became aware at some point that her looks were gonna cover the price of admission
What? She’s bigger than a cow
If you can get through not singing hey soul sister, you’ve got no soul.
That dig at jLo at the end tho
