Plenty of songs that could have shaken up pop radio in 2014 completely flopped. Hideaway, I Wanna Get Better, Come With Me Now, etc.
I would have never guessed TMTC to hit top 10 on pop radio.

List them, if it's so funny.
TMTC has topped ODS for 3 weeks now, coming for a month. It's Platinum in digital sales, though just recently taking off. It will contend for 300-400k+ sales via gift cards and just continue to explode further afterwards. Don't let him perform it at the Grammys where he's nominated, or even better win.
I'm sorry, I just don't believe you can provide me
plenty of songs or even a small handful to reach this level of sales/streaming/response and bomb on radio. The songs you listed simply bombed on radio + did poor in sales + maybe stuck around streaming for a few weeks to look huge, but weren't really.
Plenty that
could have but didn't. Hozier is.
And no, he wouldn't be an obvious choice to predict to hit T10. But you're simply ignoring trends at this point/bringing up a remix which I never hear locally nor when I scan iHeart. I actually don't even know what remix y'all speak of.
Link?
