7 Unexpected Hit Songs You Probably Forgot About

[@yash1311]

Bro seriously Florence and the machine are not getting the credits and popularity they deserve. As always great content!

[@unknownpleasurestshirt6552]

florence and the machine deserves better, florence is an absolute legend

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

Tbf here in the UK, I still hear Dog Days Are Over quite often especially as background music for TV lol

[@jackjude]

Haha ...yeah, as you know Florence + The Machine are major music act in UK. A real cut above the rest of this stuff for sure.

[@mcflurry3007]

I saw them live on Sunday at a festival and every single person knew the words so I wouldn't say that's a forgotten hit.

[@jackjude]

In the US? This from an American guy's perspective. Yet the fact Florence's last Album charted at No1. in US Billboard 200, the US Top Alternative Albums as well as the US Top Rock Album chart, suggests their inclusion in this video is a bit odd.

[@uncensored008]

I still hear that one a lot as an American.

[@QJ89]

Nitpick: jumping back and forth from Two-Thousand-Eight/Nine to Twenty-Ten is kind of annoying. Pick one or the other! As for F&tM, I have a ton of respect for Florence and her band. It's just a shame that they haven't had a big hit in Australia since 'Spectrum (Say My Name)' in 2012 (Two-Thousand-Twelve).

[@colbsterthewise8871]

Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. The guitar rift is great.

[@coffee593]

When it first came out I thought it was about how sexy this girl is and now I’m older and I think it’s about how depressed and anxious the guy is lmao.

[@colbsterthewise8871]

1. I don't know; I only heard it on the radio once that I can remember, and I saw that it doesn't have an astounding amount of Spotify plays, so I just kinda deemed it forgotten. Could be wrong. 2. Yeah, pretty much. 3. One Thing is good, but I like rock songs more, so I like Paralyzer more

[@smashball2372]

I remember that. Decent song, haven't heard it in a while.

[@ludwigii9329]

Riff. Not rift

[@WackyAnteater]

That song used to be used in the background of every single KZbin video back in 2010.

[@ineedsomespace3038]

I love Florence + The Machine and Dog Days Are Over, I will never forget about it.

[@ImTheKat1]

Blackout by Breathe Carolina is just a bop every time I hear it. It's just really infectious

[@tutenkopf3379]

Sad that Chevelle never reached their mainstream career high from 2002 again. The released so much good music since then. One of the most quality bands in rock

[@kylehegedus5498]

They haven’t made any albums that I would call “bad.” And they stay true to themselves.

[@patrickstar6247]

Agreed! i love every album!!

[@rockboy360]

Well, we can only blame the death of nu metal and the rise of emo along with the success of the first waves of indie-hipster bands back then.

[@robmitchell3039]

They put on a great live show too.

[@oo4758]

Little Talks - by Of Monsters And Men. They are an incredibly underrated band.

[@arcanemaster8722]

Some of my picks Paralyzer - Finger Eleven Handlebars - Flobots Madness - Muse Safe and sound - Capital Cities Never say never - The Fray Sail - AWOLNATION Viva La Vida - Coldplay Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men

[@legendbtv]

Arcane Senzen Viva La Vida will not be forgotten TRUST ME

[@arcanemaster8722]

From many fans of the song, yes, but honestly a lot of the general public and other people don’t even know what this song is. If common people nowadays were to think of Coldplay, they will probably talk about “Something like This” or “A Sky Full Of Stars”. It’s pretty much the same thing for most unexpected alternative crossovers

[@lukeroberts469]

viva la vida has never been forgotten

[@lukeroberts469]

I only agree with Sail.

[@lukeroberts469]

viva la vida continues being remembered even by people who aren’t fans of the band.

[@legendbtv]

I will never forget Come With Me Now

[@calirobot]

Yes my favorite band Chevelle! Such an underrated band! Can't wait for their next album 💜

[@LotteYanson]

Cali Robot Chevelle is great indeed. Saw them live last year and they put on a great show. Not my favorite band but definitely one of them.

[@dg0210]

I love this series and the channel! Keep up the good work 👍

[@iliketrains3495]

How about Scars by Papa Roach? Not that forgotten but it peaked at number goddamn 15

[@SatoshiKong]

DONT GIVE A FUCK IF I CUT MY OWN WEENIE

[@iliketrains3495]

+HasanJF Yeah true but I guess Scars is more commercial

[@Zdenda1990]

I will never forget Kiss Me, still love that song.

[@heymistercarter.]

FINALLY, I see you talk about KONGOS on here! Yea, I love that band and their music. Heck, I’d even argue that their sophomore album, Egomaniac, was better than Lunatic in its own way. Not to mention, they’re incredible live. I saw them and even did a VIP Meet and Greet deal when they played New Orleans, and it was SO worth it!

[@themusicaljunkie37]

I kid you not the second you mentioned the song "send the pain below" I had to pause the video and hear the full song... It's that good... Hell, the whole album is fantastic!

[@lilsaam]

As someone who binge watches early 00s/late 90s teen shows I can never forget about Kiss Me it’s literally played in all of them

[@KevinGarcia-pv3lr]

I love Chevelle and I would love to see an album review of Hats off to the Bull, Vena Sera, and/or Sci-fi Crimes. Keep up the great content!

[@jakegibbard]

Great video, would love to see a Part 2. My pick would be 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker With Flowers in my Hair' by Sandi Thom, a #1 single in the UK in summer 2006. Not sure how much success it had in the US.

[@caryssonford]

Jake Gibbard SANDI THOM YESSS this comment wins, I still remember most of the words. I had the album.

[@xAnarchRadiostar]

New idea: 7 Upcoming Artists/Bands That Aren't Appreciated Enough & Have Potential?

[@shikiguro]

Your videos are as always, so entertaining to watch!!!

[@0verjoyed_ac]

Remember "Flavor of the Weak" by American Hi-Fi? Yeah, hard to believe it hit 41 on the Hot 100

[@jazzyreily2310]

holy shit I forgot about American Hi-Fi. I WAS SO INTO THEM AS A PRETEEN LOL.

[@flopalop7]

Look What You've Done is one of my all time favorites! So good

[@anotherweekschtuff]

Thank god people remember Blackout by Breathe Carolina. TBH still love that song!!!

[@silversamm]

Nice list, actually discovered both Chevelle and Kongos quite recently and now you're recomending them too!

[@patrickstar6247]

CHEVELLE💚💚💚💚

[@kylehegedus5498]

Nick Ramsey I love them!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@patrickstar6247]

Kyle Hegedus Fave band!!!

[@EmilyB1201]

they are really awesome :D

[@sebastianarmas897]

Nick Ramsey It’s a shame that this band isn’t as recognized as much as they were during their first few albums because their last two albums were amazing!

[@patrickstar6247]

Sebastian Armas Agreed man!!! The last 3 albums scored #1 hits too😒

[@thesalamanderking3475]

Fireflies was weird. You wouldn’t expect a quiet electronic song about suffering from insomnia would get so popular.

[@caryssonford]

The Salamander King & then become a meme 7 years later 😂

[@braydenbragg5966]

I didnt forget send the pain below, Iove that song

[@rainbringshappiness]

I LOVE Thriving Ivory. I think they're very underrated! Thanks for bringing some attention back to them! I would love to see a sequel to this video some other Sunday!

[@katarinat326]

Chevelle has so many good songs im glad you featured them!

[@ramsochoa]

Awesome vid man! Chevelle has always been one of my favorite rock bands.

[@LotteYanson]

Oh my god Thriving Ivory! I thought I was the only one who remembered them! I remember seeing the video for Angels On The Moon on VH1’s Jump Start back in ‘08. I remember loving it and get so much nostalgia whenever I hear it.

[@autumn4514]

I really like both of Kongos' albums, underrated band imo

[@wackafloka942]

According To You by Orianthi and Glad You Came come to mind for me

[@AceAM264]

Ryan Comeau I totally forgot about according to you.

[@jazzyreily2310]

I forgot that Orianthi song...it was my jam for a while.

[@BlinkPS2]

I NEVER FORGET ABOUT CHEVELLE!!!! One of my absolute favorite bands!!!

[@entroducingjpeg]

Capital Cities-Safe and Sound or atleast i forgot about it

[@legendbtv]

s0ns vevo won't forget that, it's a BOP

[@BliboranBass]

Good list, but jon - chevelle's debut album was point #1, released in 2000 or 1999, can't remember. Had some killer tunes on that one, specifically mia, sma, blank earth, and the title track. Not sure if you meant their breakout album, i think wonder what's next was their first under a major label, but yeah lol

[@kylehegedus5498]

I see Pete Loeffler, I click!!! I adore Chevelle!!!

[@patrickstar6247]

Kyle Hegedus My thoughts exactly!

[@LisaKokx]

I've only ever heard #2 out of this list, I feel so weird now

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

A big one for me is “Game of Love” by Santana and Michelle Branch. It’s one of those songs that I hear more in clothing stores than on the radio. It reached #5 on the Hot 100, but it isn’t nearly as remembered as “Smooth”, which is a shame because I love both songs.

[@letstalkfilm7855]

KDog1265 second this one.

[@cynzix]

Well, here in my country that song sounds super often in my country still today.

[@jackjude]

The Kongos tune is the sound of craft beard, I mean beer, exposed wooden surfaces and selfies of kids making sure you know they're having fun. Im not surprised it 'crossed-overed' because everything about it was already there waiting for it.

[@Benjamin-tu4mf]

What about "West Coast" by Lana Del Rey? Debuted at number 17 and then fell off. Deserved to be a crossover imo, such an easy going and hypnotic song. I realize it wasn't a hit, but it should have been.

[@QJ89]

Most of Lana's songs sound better remixed. Dream-pop / Baroque-pop doesn't have much cross-over potential.

[@Faygogayfo]

I can’t forget about Kiss Me...it plays at my work every god. damn. day.

[@psychosalad6653]

What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say What Does the Fox Say

[@whatthehellisthis]

nobody will forget that

[@jazzyreily2310]

plz let this song stay dead PLEASE

[@DementedMK]

Thank you for reminding me that Come With Me now exists! I love this video and I hope you make more of these. I have some more recent recommendations: Stolen Dance by Milky Chance, Gone Gone Gone by Philip Philips, Geronimo by Sheppard, Upside Down by Jack Johnson, Brokenhearted by Karmin, Take Me Home by Cash Cash, Love Runs Out by OneRepublic. I know a lot of those aren't really the style you usually talk about but I thought they deserved mention. Either way, love the video!

[@abbyxoxo48]

I think some of these faded so quickly because they were played all day every day on multiple radio stations, so people got bored quickly. Rock on the pop charts come and go like fad diets.

[@legendbtv]

Kungs vs. Cookin' on 3 Burners' This Girl will probably fade and that's sad. It's fantastic. Huge worldwide smash

[@jankafekete5079]

that's the only EDM song that i like and i love it so much :D

[@whatthehellisthis]

i won't forget it

[@legendbtv]

My favorite hit of 2016 and one of the best of the decade

[@legendbtv]

DGK Reviews unfortunately our slow a** crappy American charts didn't get the song until AUGUST. Causing it to fizzle out early once the song got old in other countries after already being a hit for MONTHS

[@santiagobauza4257]

The soundtrack to my final school year. What a track.

[@andre-pz1wv]

Come With Me Now is a solid bop

[@renequintana4281]

I first heard Come with me now by Kongos on a Borderlands game trailer

[@marlenegilbert6064]

Hope you do a video of your favorite Chevelle songs. Love that band!

[@patrickstar6247]

Yes!!! I'd love to see what he chooses .

[@jakobeboah1]

Even though technically it wasn’t a hit single Stray Heart by Green Day is a song I forgot about. It’s a severely underrated song by them. This was another good video, Jon. Keep up the good work!

[@shyb7847]

Yay, chevelle 😭👏🏾🙌🏾

[@slickificationful]

Kiss Me still plays at my work at least once every shift, unfortunately that ruined the song for me 😕

[@musicman6555]

Remember that one band fun?

[@tonyaflorida]

What about Natalie Imbruglia? She is so talented, but doesn't get nearly as much attention as she deserves... And Dog Days Are Over was my go-to anthem for some big life changes 5 years ago. Will never forget this song. It gave me so much strength

[@cynzix]

Tonya Greenwood Torn is played even today on the radio

[@tonyaflorida]

Cynthia I don't listen to the radio, so I wouldn't know. But Torn is actually her cover of a song, and she has so many other beautiful songs, that it feels like a lot of people consider her a 1 hit wonder or something

[@FlaPnthrsPunk]

Good topic for a video and I definitely think you could do well more than a Part 2. Even as a massive music fan, I did completely forget about Thriving Ivory. Great damn song.

[@justinmayne7799]

Chevelle that's how you start a list

[@angelacanedit]

Please do a part 2!

[@NicCleaver_CoomeraCollector]

I totally forgot about these songs until I discovered them on Spotify... Bic Runga - Sway Fuel - Shimmer Mansun - Wide Open Space Kula Shaker - Tattva Reef - Place Your Hands Chris Cornell - Can't Change Me Filter - Take A Picture Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want The Rasmus - In The Shadows Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye Kylie Minogue - Did It Again Baby Animals - One Word The Cruel Sea - It Won't Last Citizen King - Better Days (And The Bottom Drops Out) Machine Gun Fellatio - Rollercoaster

[@angelacanedit]

OH MY GOD. "Kiss me" plays every day on chilean radio. I hate it so much. I don't know why they play it so much, no one asks for it. It's like that one Lily Allen song. Really they have like 20 old songs that are always on repeat + the new hits.

[@AcerSense]

I actually remember Blackout through english radio years back. Good times

[@Mongoz08]

Look what you've done is iconic and always leaves me emotional

[@princesstoadstool312]

Forgot about these, really refreshing! Thanks Jon.

[@mvangord1]

I don't see how anyone could possibly forget about Kiss Me, it's still played on HAC radio today and I'm pretty sure every store playlist in America has it on somewhere.

[@infinitypercival5958]

Do 7 great debut albums from bands you love.

[@theprettyoftheodd7997]

I do remember dancing in the dark with rainbow spinning lights in my best friend's room back in middle school to Blackout. As well as the same friend made me a mix cd for my birthday with New Found Glory's cover which led me to the original

[@sidtv2542]

Muse - Madness peaked at #43 but was slowly climbing the charts for 29 weeks straight in 2012/2013.

[@agara9337]

Flo headlined Glasto and Lolla on last album cycle, and Dog Days always get the crowds pumped!

[@marabirau1003]

8. the seven on sunday intro

[@AceAM264]

Who forget about send the pain below? I listen to that and hear it on the radio all time! Such a good one.

[@zippers987]

you should do a forgotten hits playlist

[@WellDressedGypsy]

Throwback to early teen years for most of these, I still listen to Kiss Me. Especially since creating a Spotify throwback playlist I heard this song constantly on the radio back then

[@gabbyhamrick6554]

Dear Lord I'll never forget about Thriving Ivory. They're my best friend's favorite band, so I get to hear them enough all the time.

[@williampoulin6526]

Jon have you ever heard about Architects?

[@badmouthbenny2854]

william poulin All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is one of the greatest albums of this century

[@williampoulin6526]

DylanSegaulTV dude I'm new to thia band and my favorite songs are Gone with the Wind, Gravity and Gravedigger which song do you recommand me to listen

[@badmouthbenny2854]

A match made in heaven, cancer, doomsday, momento mori, pretty much all their songs

[@williampoulin6526]

DylanSegaulTV I love when there is a mix of clean vocal and scream not only scream

[@kyliepollert8341]

"Kiss Me" was used in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days", as well as a "Karaoke Revolution" video game that I played when I was at a caretaker's house when I was little, and it still gets played on the radio today, so how can it be "forgotten"?

[@Nick-yx5xd]

Do you think Hunger by Florence could become a summer crossover hit? I’ve already heard it on Alternative radio and think at has a lot of potential in that market, but its also pop enough for top 40. Thoughts?

[@legendbtv]

Nick nah. Without streaming, big sales. And the fact that it isn't rap, these days, I doubt it. Rap is literally ALL most kids listen to these days

[@an_idiot4777]

Possibly, in the UK they are reasonably well known with lots of people that like alternative music. I hope they do, it'd be nice and refreshing on the radio

[@Nick-yx5xd]

Very true. Only POP songs in the top 20 of Hot 100 rn are The Middle, No Tears Left to Cry, Never Be the Same, and Friends. Most of pop music split up and merged with a bunch of different genres like Latin, Hip Hop, R&B, and Country. Pop as we knew it is currently dead and what we have left is cheap rehashed "EDM" like Marshmello and Zedd that all sounds the same. Hoping people like Gaga and Rihanna can pull us out of this mess.

[@boyishmistakes]

Nick Rihanna and Gaga even abandoned their super poppy sound tho.

[@Nick-yx5xd]

Thats true. Rumor has it Rihanna is working on both a Reggae album AND an album that sounds similar to Loud (her most pop album). Gaga has been in the studio with Bloodpop, Justin Tranter, Boys Noize, etc lately tho so it looks like they're both going back to pop in some ways.

[@skeptical_princess0497]

Oh my god! I remember Blackout! Geez this song makes me feel so nostalgic

[@bekahnavarro]

Chevelle is a great band! Fortunately for me, my husband made a playlist that includes those Kronos and Jet songs, as well as a whole lot of Chevelle. I've heard it quite a lot. No forgetting those hits. :)

[@sophie6621]

dog days are over is still constantly played in the uk, at least it's on a tv advert every year here

[@cynzix]

I love Sixpence Non The Richer, especially the japanese version version of Kiss Me an There She Goes.

[@janebartell2862]

I will never forget come with me now cause if those commercials

[@Warhero1939]

Why would anybody forget chevelle,chevelle are gods

[@funofme]

Kiss Me is such a rom com CLASSIC. Also i cant believe i fogot about Blackout! I used to be so into that song!

[@jorjao8058]

I love Florence + the machine!!

[@PollyGammy]

I have a question. Not sure if you ever covered it, but how do you do your research? Great vid. Loved Chevelle. I was 19 when they hit with Wonder What’s Next. I’m old as shit...don’t judge me! Lol

[@godnotavailable2094]

Come With Me Now is one of the only hopes I had for modern alternative.

[@josephkrebaum7502]

I was quite surprised to see Little Talks on a Now! compilation once. Until I actually heard it and realized, "Oh, it's THAT song." It was very unexpected. Same thing goes for Blackout, except I didn't really recognize that one, which was even more unexpected!

[@santiagobauza4257]

I know and listen regularly to every song since #4. Banger after banger.

[@grojzow11]

I think I still have blackout on itunes

[@danielsimpson2946]

Jet actually reformed a couple years ago and are just about to get started on their Australian tour!!

[@Garebear21]

I wouldn't really call send the pain below forgotten. One of my favorite bands and albums.

[@Matt92Machine]

I love Chevelle, and the song Kiss Me triggers the nostalgia of the late 90s early 2000s for me.

[@punkinnugget]

My favorite one on this list was Blackout by Breathe Carolina. I remember seeing it in 2011 as the iTunes Free Single Of The Week, but I didn’t really get into it til I bought the NOW 41 CD. It’s grown on me quite a bit in the years since. Also, it’s funny you mention watching VH1 music videos in the morning before school cause I used to do the exact same thing! That’s how I discovered a lot of music that wasn’t getting radio play where I lived xD

[@morgandenise6362]

Florence + the machine are so good, Florence is also great to watch on stage as you can see how much she feels her music and the way she dances and prances around stage is beautiful to watch

[@rebeccamarrone4736]

Blackout still gets some radio play on the alternative station later where I live

[@cbreezee8594]

I feel like everyone has forgotten about "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolph. I will never understand how that song got so big.

[@MickyWilburn]

Have you ever done a video on songs, bands or musicians that you love or like, that most people would be surprised by? Maybe things that dont "fit" your typical favorite styles of music.

[@ultimatetrishbhatia]

I love kongos so much it's sad that they aren't well known beyond their hit song.
