Back In Time has sold over 2 Million and he sang the whole song on Don't Stop The Party too, which is over a million, he just gave credit to RJ or producing and writing the song thats why its eatures RJ even thought Pitubll sings the whole thing.

I mean, Pitbull is the one who made the song a hit. He's one of the biggest male artists in the world right now.

2 million where? Worldwide? Don't Stop The Party is a reach too, and the TRJ feature still makes it a collab. It's TRJ's song that was given to Pitbull. I'm not saying he doesn't have hits, I'm saying he owes a LOT of his mainstream success to other acts.

in the US. Don't Stop The Party is Platinum certified, try again.

And you're saying BIT is a reach and its not a hit because its not certified? Well guess that from that point of view none of the Warrior are hits either since none of them are certified either and WRWWR nor Blow are certitfied either

Keep trying

We could go back and forth about this all night, but I'm not trying to. I used the word "reach" deliberately because while these songs definitely saw great success, the fact that they pale in comparison to his ASTRONOMICAL collabs (especially Timber) kinda makes them useless as examples. I only mentioned BIT's certification is because of its peak—which none of the Ke$ha songs you just mentioned or Die Young have a problem with. ANYWAY, I'm not even trying to come for Pitbull or cape for K$ and I realize the definition of a "hit" is ultimately relative.

TL;DR - I didn't mean to say that Pitbull doesn't have any solo hits or is a flop or something. But he's a household name because of his collaborations... like most rappers working today.

All you have to do is read the credits.

Kesha wrote the chorus and hook, with help from her Mom.

It's the reason why Luke suggested Kesha in the first place, even when Kesha and Luke were fighting. Kesha knows how to write a hook. And wollah. She did.

I can't at people saying she should be thanking him.

Literally EVERY Pitbull song I hear people say "this song would be better without Pitbulls part"

Lol you people need to stop it with the she should be thanking him because without her there wouldn't even be a Timber or chorus for people to sing along to. Its kinda funny because I just heard the song in a bar and of course everyone sang Kesha's part. Come back to me when you hear someone sing/rap Pitbulls parts, lol. The hook is the reason why people listen to it and why the song is successful. Kesha wrote it and came up with the melody, so without her, no Timber, no hit. It is obvious who should thank who. Sit down

she should thank pitbull and dr. luke for allowing her to be on the song

it was supposed to be rihanna first
