All latinos in this video were absolutely massive artists by the time the songs listed here as breakthrough were released. These were just the songs that kind of put them in English speaking countries' radars. That applies to Daddy Yankee, Enrique Iglesias and Shakira.

[@sophiavega3990]

I definitely wouldn't say some of these were the artist's breakthrough songs. OneRepublic had hits like Apologize WAY before Counting Stars came out. And Adele had Rolling in the Deep, Sia had Titanium, Taylor Swift had Teardrops On My Guitar, etc.

Agree... I was wondering if I was the only one old enough to remember Onerepublic’s Apologise 😅

[@perenniallachrymosity276]

Well, I guess, they're only sifting through lead artist releases and if so Sia doesn't exactly count with that criteria because Titanium was another instance of a producer having an indie artist as a vocalist.

[@D3bs1109]

Since Titanium was David Guetta song I would say “Clap Your Hands” by Sia was her breakthrough song. Don’t know but I was obsessed with this song as a child and it was on replay on the radio but it seems nobody knows about it...

[@perenniallachrymosity276]

@@D3bs1109 That's a pretty good one. Breathe Me would probably be the track I would point to in terms of beginning exposure as Sia states "it resuscitated my dying career" because Colour The Small One (an album of hers) had pretty subpar success in grabbing the attention of a mainstream audience so to have Breathe Me being used in the ending song for a popular TV series (Six Feet Under) really paved the way for Sia to continue performing and making music. Which was a... tumultuous road to even get to then and the pop hit Chandelier but it's a pretty cool career arc, at least. 😅

[@ISURSouL]

For Gangnam Style, I think Roomie could have included “Repeatable dance”, or “Interesting visuals”. Which is a factor that made it big. People danced and repeated his moves all over the world.

What a lot of people point out when Avril came into the music industry was that she really stood out compared to all the polished and glam teen idols at the time like Britney and Christina. She showed a more raw and vulnerable side in her music as she experienced life as a teenager. A lot of young people connected to that and propelled her into stardom. Regarding the her first single, it was good song that people liked. What really did it for Avril was her image and lyrics I’d say.

[@miss_daniele_83]

Sia did that with Chandelier as her solo career was mostly indie before that release. Actually, scratch that, I don't think any Sia fan who chimed in even during her 'We Are Born' era would've recognized that it was Sia because her vocals in all her studio albums back then were so much more withdrawn. If you want to see the difference; listen to Chandelier then either to Breathe Me, Soon We'll Be Found or Clap Your Hands right after. The vocal leap can be jarring. 😅

Like in name category-: songs named after names.( Olivia, bloody Mary,etc) In place category-: Carolina ,cornelia street,etc. Animal category-: animals, who let the dogs out roar etc. Thing category-: umbrella, chandelier, maps, cardigan, etc. Emotions category-: emotions, lonely, alone, happy etc. Time/number category-: a thousand years, a thousand miles, 18, 22, 7 rings, A.M. etc. 5.Guess the song by describing the music video to the other person. 7. Famous artists who are good songwriters but bad/average vocalists vs famous artists who are good vocalists but bad/average songwriters. 6. Singers when they write a song for themselves vs when they write thr song for other artists. And as you used to be a drummer; these topics might just interest you; 1. Most viewed drumming videos on KZbin. 2. Singers who can drum vs drummers who can sing. Hope you like these ideas Rami.

Yeah it's really sad that Girlfriend was like her only mainstream song. She was literally kinda forced by her label to write it since they wanted to push her to the pop market :/ same with the rest of her title tracks after that. Her music outside that is great

Are they? I thought the a in Lavigne is pronounced like the a in the word car and the e in Levine is pronounced like the e in the word kettle. But the vigne and vine are pronounced the same.

@@Feimicha Yes it did. It's their biggest song. Of course haters rushed to dislike the song, not that it's a bad thing since it's just another record and more money/success. People hate to see others thrive, BTS are arguably the biggest act right now and Dynamite was a crazy record breaker.

I was sure that Rihanna's breakthrough was "Unfaithful" and Ariana's was "Problem". But that's probably just the case in Poland 😅

[@fh4742]

Funny to see how artists seem to have a different breakthrough song in various countries. But the songs you mentioned were also the breakthrough songs of Ariana and Rihanna in my country. 👍🏻

[@Lucaz99]

Where I lived in Europe, “Pon de Replay” got played a loooot. It was definitely the first song I ever seen from Rihanna. So even if it wasn’t big everywhere, it put her on the map. Btw, didn’t “Umbrella” come out before “Unfaithful”? Was “Unfaithful” bigger than “Umbrella” in Poland?

[@prof.thiagoalmeida1226]

@@Lucaz99 Here in Brazil I think the Rihanna's breakthrough was "Umbrella". "Unfaithfull" was one year older, but started to play a lot more after "Umbrella" became a hit song.

[@Lucaz99]

@@prof.thiagoalmeida1226 It depends on your definition of breakhrough I think. Pon de Replay didn't chart everywhere but made people invest in Rihanna. Umbrella made her a STAR. So I think you could make a case for both.

I don't think Counting Stars is the song that made One Republic famous, they had quite a few really good and succesfull songs before that, like Apologize (which was a really big song at the time) , Good Life, Stop and Stare...

One category I would add to your list is danceability. If people can dance to a song, they tend to remember it. If it's playing at the clubs and radio all the time, it's going to get self-promoted.

Dua Lipa blew up with “Blow you mind (Mwah)” in 2016, “New Rules” came out later, when she had all ready made it in the U.K., it didn’t make her famous, it got her trending on KZbin so people in America saw it, making her a big name in the states, she had already performed at the Summer Time Ball by Capital FM a few times and the Jingle Bell Ball (same radio station) by the time “New Rules” came out.

[@TrucDudule]

Actually, at the time of "The way", Ariana and Mac were not dating (she was with Nathan Sykes, an other singer). Their relationship happened around 3 years later ;)

She was with Jai Brooks back then, right? Her and Nathan only dated for the 3 months after Jai and Ariana broke before they got back together.
