Looking at my albums, I see more than a handful of songs that could have been released and become hits off the bat. Let me post mine and then you guys can post yours.
Kelly Clarkson - Don't Let Me Stop You/Long Shot/Gone
Jordin Sparks - Don't Let It Go to Your Head/Freeze
Beyonce - Hollywood/Kitty Kat/Radio
Britney Spears - Kill the Lights
Alicia Keys - Like The Sea
Mariah Carey - Stay the Night/Get Your Number/Almost the entire E=MC2 album
Black Eyed Peas - Missing You
Ciara - That's Right/My Love
Lady Gaga - The Fame/Beautiful, Dirty, Rich/Dance In The Dark
Rihanna - Push Up on Me/Breakin' Dishes/Good Girls Gone Bad/Te Amo
Kanye West - Champion
Usher - What's Your Name?
Keri Hilson - Get Your Money Up
Eminem - Old Time's Sake
Rihanna - Breakin' Dishes
Britney Spears - Lace and Leather, Unusual You
Chris Brown - Wait
Lady GaGa - Starstruck, Monster
Beyonce - Radio
Usher - What's Your Name
Kelly Clarkson - Whyyouwannabringmedown
Miley Cyrus - Goodbye
Ashley Tisdale - Headstrong/Erase and Rewind
Rihanna - Fire Bomb/Breakin' Dishes
Kelly Clarkson - If I Can't Have You
Avril Lavigne - Things I'll Never Say
Honestly, Kelly's label screwed up All I Ever Wanted. Already Gone and All I Ever Wanted were bad choices for a single.
It should have gone like this:
1. MLWSWY
2. I Do Not Hook Up
3. Don't Let Me Stop You
4. If I Can't Have You
5. Long Shot
Then end it.
And Avril should have released this cute song:
Seriously, this song could have been a Top 10 hit. It's so relatable and radio-friendly. She could have released this as a third or fourth single.
Evanescense - All That I'm Living For
Three Days Grace - Last to Know
Three Days Grace - Goin' Down
Three Days Grace - Overrated
Black Eyed Peas - Ring-a-ling
Black Eyed Peas - Missing You
