624 Evanescence Bring Me To Life
1120 Evanescence My Immortal
These two legendary global smashes still charting on iTunes Top 1200 after 12 years! Not to mention the fact that they get covered in talent shows and by youtube people like every other week. They also have enormous youtube views for songs that were released in 2003! What classics!
Why doesn't Taylor have any classic globally known songs, though?
Taylor has Love Story, You Belong With Me, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, Girl at Home, Shake It Off, Blank Space, etc.
Bring Me To Life + My Immortal are indeed both classics.. I think Taylor could have one at some point in her career.. she has a lot ahead of her still so give her time and we will see. As much as I enjoy her music, she definitely doesn't have a classic yet.
Taylor has Love Story, You Belong With Me, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, Girl at Home, Shake It Off, Blank Space, etc.
None of these are classics.
Evanescence has the ones mentioned by the OP and "Call Me When You're Sober."
Does anyone from outside the US know these songs (especially the latter one)?
A song doesn't have to be a global hit to be a classic. There's songs in U.S. that are undeniably classics that you may not know exist. Just like there's songs in your country to population would regard as classics that the U.S. population doesn't know exist.
Atrl and this "it's not known here so it's not a classic!" logic as if a song needs to be known specifically in their country to ever be a classic. And you used the U.S. chart as a proof that Evanescene had 2 classics so why are you now disregarding the U.S. chart for Love Story and YBWM being classics?
? I'm talking about her oldest classics.
