I'm With You was #1 worldwides so it's more important

1 vote exactly for not sure

Here is a list of recent successful ballads, IMO :
ADELE - Someone Like You
ADELE - Set Fire to the Rain
Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are
Bruno Mars - Grenade
Bruno Mars - It Will Rain
Rihanna - Diamonds
Katy Perry - Wide Awake
Katy Perry - The One That Got Away

Some of them are debatable, & I probably forgot some.

Makes Me Wonder & One More Night FLAWLESS KOP

You and I and The Edge of Glory are power ballads, no?

Kelly Clarkson did

Bleeding Love for 3 weeks, it broke some radio record (doesn't hold it anymore), and sold over 4 million

Ballads are popular in Japan, so yes

IDK if The Edge of Glory is a ballad. It leans a bit too much towards dance pop.

Y&I is definitely one though.

Here we go with the Rih stans reaching for the highest peaks to call Diamonds a ballad.

I feel like it's a power ballad dressed up in dance pop. Like it's a dance remix of a Bruce Springsteen song or something

If Diamonds is a ballad then The Edge of Glory and You and I are ballads!

If half of these are ballads than I love the ballad Womanizer Britney released back in 08

That one was 'Girlfriend'

and of course 'I'm With You' that was even WW and Keep Holding On on Canada.
