At some point in every episode of MxG that discusses artists, I mention which of their albums and singles charted. For that I use the Billboard charts – mostly from the US and occasionally from other countries.
The more I do that, the more I notice something. The songs that were the biggest chart hits are RARELY the same song that’s the artist’s biggest STREAMING HIT.
So for this episode, I’m comparing the two, using prominent artists from each decade. And I form some pretty startling conclusions.
You will be SHOCKED at what the REAL HITS are.
Have you noticed this discrepancy? Do you tend to like the artist’s original (chart) hits, or their legacy (streaming) hits? Which artist’s hits differences were the most shocking? And did I miss any big ones?
