No...a #1 is clearly a #1. My "theory," as you call it, is only that a solo song does not involve multiple credited artists. Because solo = 1, and multiple = more than 1.
If you say "Beyonce has 5 #1s," I would agree. If you say "Beyonce has 5 lead #1s," I would agree.
Now if you said "Beyonce has 5 solo #1s," then I would correct you. I'm sorry if you think this makes me a BIGOT.
I don't know how much more you can explain it...
You did your best lol
A solo song is ONE artist (like, Rihanna's "S.O.S."). It's just her. "Umbrella" is not a solo song because Jay-Z is on it.
I read Paul's article weekly from the time I was 12 up until a year or two ago (he stopped reporting sales in detail which kind of drew me away). Sad to know he was basically fired like that.
Not many. Doesn't Taylor have multiple tracks that charted for 1-2 weeks before falling off?
Her most sustained top tens are Love Story, You Belong With Me, Mine, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, Shake It Off, and Blank Space.
I'm pretty sure the rest only charted there for one or two weeks at best.
