Gangnam Style

yeah but that sucks whereas the gotye song is unironically pretty good
Leo Hughes
GOTYE kind of looking like someone I used to know:
Anthony Long
You asked for the biggest hit ever not the best hit ever.
i can give you the best hit ever though.
Angel Adams
Biggest hit of 2012: Somebody that I Used to Know, #47: Gangnam Style
(Also no idea why this thread exists)
Jaxon Murphy
How did this get so many views yet no one gave a fuck about anything else this guy ever put out? Furthermore how did a middle of the road indie pop song from some unknown foreign artist hit #1 worldwide?
Jacob White
because it's an absolute banger
Zachary Nguyen
i'm taking both quality and popularity into account and weighing both of them together, considering that i don't think anything tops somebody that i used to know
Michael Young
yeah it's pretty good especially for a top 40 song in the 2010s but i just want to know where did it come from and how did it blow up? there's many songs and artists like this that don't get nearly as big yet he did it.
Adrian Perez
what is it?
Daniel Morgan
>How did this get so many views yet no one gave a fuck about anything else this guy ever put out?
That's your curse when you make it to Billboard's Top 40. Even huge names have album stuff that go right under the radar.
Nicholas Young
>Raping kino brazillian beat with those dirty annoying vocals
Gotye didn't deserved sucess.
Kimbra was cute tho.
youtube.com
Connor Roberts
no, this is
Daniel Stewart
...
Aaron Thomas
fuck this hit the nostalgia feels
Blake Rivera
literally don't think there has been a bigger hit this century than that, at least in the uk, somebody that i used to know maybe comes close. correct me if i'm wrong
Aiden Harris
This song was such shit. I never understood why it was popular.
>Kimbra was cute tho.
She's actually a pretty good pop artist. Way better than Gotye.
Chase Long
Kayden Moore
Jesus, no. The Psy song is catchy. Somebody That I Used To Know is one of the worst hit songs of the 10s so far.
Charles Diaz
literally not as big a hit
Ethan Parker
Fuck that song. This song is better.
youtube.com
Aaron Garcia
bots, literal bots.
bots could bypass youtube's system for awhile up until 2013 or so.
avril lavigne had the top slot for awhile because of bots.
my local radio station had gotye do a show for them just a few months after the single broke, the dj/program director thought he'd sell out a 3000+ venue easily, he got about 200 max, this is in a slightly above middle sized city in the us
do you remember when youtube used to have thir youtube celebs on the front page of youtube everyday? like shaytards and the like? all bought by bots.
source about the bots - i used them, and got 500,000+ views for 100 bucks.
Christian Adams
youtube views are more important than sales now, grandpa
Xavier Brown
There are people who unironically think this?
Jace Ortiz
Fuck both of these songs. Literal cancer. Might as well throw this one in too while we're on the topic of worst songs of the 2010s
Easton Baker
Oh god, I remember this shit being EVERYWHERE. And no one gives a shit about Train anymore either.
Daniel Sullivan
it literally is a banger
Adam Cox
Biggest one: imagine
Jeremiah Hernandez
lmao dude thats fukcing hilarious
Hunter Morales
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SEXY LADYYY
Lucas Cruz
If by banger you mean in the running for one of the worst radio faux hipster songs ever, then I agree.
Jayden Turner
Robert King
>tfw I was jerking it to the uncensored version of this video months before it blew up.
Carson Bailey
Kimbra didn't catch on either, I never understood why
Colton Thomas
yeah Naked women in music videos is some kinky shit for some reason
Bentley Sullivan
terrible post
no one cares about ur ironic tastes in shitty pop music, we're talking about objective hits here
Oliver Hall
Ukelele covers of this song make me want to forgot about the late 2000s
Hunter Davis
not bigger than op song, this is literally 3rd tier hit
Jaxon Young
She is an angel too pure for the unwashed masses.
Alexander Myers
No one here mentioned Taylor Swift?
Adrian Robinson
What's her biggest hit.
Bad Blood?
Connor Moore
I've never heard this song outside commercials and I don't plan on listening to it now
Blake Parker
Blank Space and Shake It Off both have over 2 billion views each, and Bad Blood has over 1 billion
Jaxson Garcia
No user that would be baby by Justin Bieber
David Watson
T-swift got two songs with more views
Ryan Moore
>implying that isnt a perfect pop song
fucking mongo cunt lmao
Connor Rodriguez
The Elliott smith song is way better anyways
Hunter Lee
>implying that has anything to do with this thread
Purchase a firearm, point it at your head, pull trigger.
Julian Gutierrez
Vows at least was very good.
Joseph Gutierrez
the difference is taylor swift is very youtube generation, the gotye song was popular before we had loads of 8 year old watching youtube vids on their i-pads. somebody that i used to know definitely made more of an impact on the radio and the general psych , i literally don't think there has been a bigger hit than it, at least not since a very long time
Jaxson Edwards
I've grown past my edgy high school phase of getting assmad at pop songs, but this shit makes me want to blow my brains out. that being said, it should be kept in a vault, this song and video are the most 2010s shit I can think of. it's all in there.
Hunter Ross
Gangnam Style was much bigger.
Jacob Reed
yeah but gangnam style is objectively awful so it doesnt count
Charles Campbell
Jason Roberts
Somebody That I Used To Know is faaaaaaar worse. I cant think of a more annoying song other than maybe
youtu.be
or
youtu.be
Mason Thomas
I dont think I heard that song a single time in my life.
James Reed
This. I know the song title, but couldnt hum it for you.
James Williams
KEK
I also thought of the wiseau when I saw album pic
John Butler
I listened to the album after hearing Somebody and it was shit.
Jackson Garcia
Angel Davis
>Sup Forums
Cooper Hernandez
I wasnt born in the 40s, sorry.
Jose Smith
ok virgin :^)
Robert Long
Yeah I think his other stuff's pretty good.
Tyler Kelly
>Closer by Chainsmokers has 1.4 billion views
Wyatt Cox
I never thought i'd hate a band more than Imagine Dragons but Chainsmokers came in and did the impossible.
Evan James
What's going to be the one-hit wonder indie track that makes it big this year?

Thrift Shop recently broke 1 billion
Nicholas Walker
thats nowhere near as big a hit gotye
Gabriel Howard
*as gotye
Ayden Torres
Fuck off, What I like About you has a p. good and catchy guitar riff.
Adrian Rivera
if you weight these 3 factors in to account-
popularity
impact
quality
i don't think there exists a bigger hit than gotye-somebody that i used to know, ever
prove me wrong, protip: you can't
Charles Rodriguez
just look at what hits stayed at number 1 the longest if you need to find a hit bigger than gotye.
Parker Reed
thrift shop literally sucks, more factors going in to making something a hit than just being '''''popular'''', i.e youtube hits from 8 year olds on i-pads
Jace Cox
no even fucking cares about gotye and that song so its impact was literally zero.
Colton Martin
they do though because it's literally memorable, not saying that it's that amazing or anything (i dont even like it that much) but taking all things into account i would say it's defo the biggest hit of the century at least
Nolan Wilson
Under what circumstances is that one of the worst pop songs of the past 10 years?
It's a very predictable song about relationships. And it's not even outstanding because of how generic it is
Fuck off nigger
Adrian Jenkins
I've just heard this and I'm already tired of it
Alexander James
Oh hai Mark
Matthew Gray
stop reddit spacing, it's not going to make what you say any more worth reading , no need to spread it out like that cunt
Brayden Ortiz
I think it was good for the time, but isn't aging the best. Or maybe it's just that that song came out literally right after me and my first serious gf broke up and it was too real, and that shit was everywhere for months.
Robert Cooper
amateurs the lot of you
there's been no hit banger like this in the whole decade
James Jones
Bruh I fucked with that album a lot. Loved some of the vibes they were putting out like this gem
youtube.com
As for this thread? I can for sure say that "Somebody That I Used To Know' was such a good crossover hit. It started on the alternative stations and ended up being a huge hit after a few months. It reminds me of "Pumped Up Kicks" in that way where I heard Foster the People a few months before they broke out and then suddenly all my friends loved a band I'd been trying to shove down their throats for months.
I wouldn't call it the biggest hit ever, but it for sure was a moment when pop kinda changed. Now there's a lot more """"""indie""""""" hits that end up on the radio like American Authors and The Lumineers and Mumford and Sons. If it weren't for them Ed Sheeran probably wouldn't be as popular.
Carson Collins

oh shit this guy's pretty good
Robert Carter
that chainsmokers song is trying way too hard to be catchy
