I was recently listening to 'The Way You Move' by Outkast and it reminded me that I've always preferred this song to the smash hit 'Hey Ya'.

More recently, I prefer The Weeknd's 'In Your Eyes' to the smash hit 'Blinding Lights'.

Oh, and going back to the 00s again, I've always liked McFly's 'Obviously' more than their debut '5 Colours In Her Hair'.

Are there any other 'second singles' which were flops/lesser hits than their predecessor which you always prefer to listen to? biggrin.gif

I always end up liking the less-popular singles more laugh.gif Lost Frequencies - Reality is the biggest example. Other recent ones include Loud Luxury - Love No More and Surf Mesa - Somewhere.

Moderately noteworthy fact: "The Way You Move" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 a few weeks before "Hey Ya!" though the latter became a #1 hit sooner, which also happened with Rihanna's "What's My Name" and The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face".

Don't know if it counts given the info above, but I very much prefer "What's My Name" over "Only Girl". I preferred it back then and also after all these years I think it aged much better.

Try by P!nk come to my mind first but I’d also agree on Poker Face, Million Reasons.

Into You by Ariana as well I preferred that to Dangerous Woman and I preferred Touch and DNA by Little Mix to the lead singles from their albums. There may be more but of the top of my head those come to mind first.
