you realize that a song can't be forgotten if someone remembers it and writes it here, do you?

Maybe Taylor or Beyonce

You haven't put Rih's songs? Is it Umbrella, WFL, Diamonds?

Anyway from that list Taylor

Britney > Gaga > Beyonce > Katy > Taylor

All massive and well remembered hits apart from Love Story, so I voted Taylor.
It should have been WANHIGUFYVT instead of Love Story though.

Are those their biggest hits? Voted Katy

I honestly think all of those artists have songs more remembered than some of your choices, but either way, here's my analysis

As i said before, this analysis is not really that accurate because it includes overall Spotify streams rather than the last year only. But it's still enough to paint a picture of which trios are standing better at the moment!

Rihanna's should be Umbrella/We Found Love/Work

Love Story is a classic in NA, Oceania and Asia. It' s the main reason why Fearless was so big there

Out of those list I think Katy has the most forgotten one.

Taylor by a big margin.

Gagas are already forgotten

Sure, sis.

Gaga's, probably.

Lady Gaga.

This would make sense if some of these songs weren't from over a dedcade ago. Like... obviously Blank Space, Dark Horse etc. are gonna be watched more this year than the older ones.

All these songs are remembered though.
