It's funny, because Capital did actually play 4 Minutes (and also Give It To Me and Celebration) back in 2008/2009. But the station has changed a lot since then really...

It is, it is funny how it's changed so rapidly in a reasonably short amount of time. BRING GALAXY BACK, PLZ!

No, it was big, but I wouldn't say it was "massive" either. It's a brilliant song though (the original version)! :wub:

 

I think the Freemasons version majorly improved it :lol: I still don't see 5 weeks top 20 as particularly big. I'd say on the Beyonce scale the one we don't hear much would be Beautiful Liar perhaps? Saying that I don't remember the last time I heard Telephone on the radio or about?

Yeah, it was probably the Capital merge that ruined it really. The transition seemed very smooth though, it's like they were slowly phasing certain songs and artists out of rotation in the 6 months before/after the merge hoping nobody would notice anything. :lol:

 

I think if we had the Galaxy FM from the 00's and it was broadcast over the entire country like Capital, the charts would be faster and more varied right now.

One song where I'd say the Freemasons radio mix improved it over the original was Work by Kelly Rowland. They made it sound like a Panjabi MC song. :lol: Didn't know Freemasons were capable of that. :wub:

I agree about 'Beautiful Liar' - I've only been reminded about it again recently as I've been checking out Shakira's back catalogue - but definitely not 'Telephone'. I still hear people quoting "you've been a very bad girl...a very, very, VERY bad girl, Gaga" :lol: and the video is still about on TV quite a bit.

I would definitely not say 'I Kissed A Girl' was forgotten.

 

Everyone still remembers it, I'm sure.

But no-one is saying that it's forgotten :lol:

 

As far as I understand it, this thread is and always was about songs that aren't very popular anymore, not ones that are "forgotten".

I would've even said it's Katy's signature song, but lots of people seem to disagree, so I don't know. But she never had a song which had anywhere near that much media impact since.

 

I don't think any of these massive hits are "forgotten". We can't do anything about what Heart FM, etc. decides to play, but at the end of the day, people heard these songs hundreds of times when they were popular, you don't forget things like that.

 

This thread should be "Songs which were massive but you haven't heard anywhere in the past 12 months".

How was He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother massive?
'Deja Vu' is definitely one of Beyonce's forgotton hits considering to was #1. I'd say 'Irreplaceable' and 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)' are much more well remembered and they weren't anywhere near #1 during their time on the charts.

It's called "Songs that were massive but haven't passed the test of time". The thread has just lead on to people using the term 'forgotten', but I think most just mean "haven't been heard since".

IKAG is 100% Katy Perry's signature song. There's no doubt about it. :lol:

It's really, really not.

Yeah, I'd say Firework was Katy Perry's signature song as well.
'Firework' says hello...

 

That's for sure, and as I said before, I honestly think even 'Hot & Cold' is held in higher regard and gets played more these days than IKAG.

 

IKAG was one of the first I thought of when I saw this thread, there's such a HUGE disconnect between how much it was talked about and how dominant it was at the time, and how little people have talked about it ever since then. Which isn't totally surprising to me, I always felt it was kind of an average song when you took away the "shock value".

Seeing these saddens me (although I whole heartedly agree with their inclusions) :( Particularly 'If We Ever Meet Again'! Someone mentioned 'The Way I Are', but I'm not sure I would include that here. It's still pretty well remembered and played in clubs now. 'Give It To Me' (by Timbo not that Madonna tripe) on the other hand... I don't think people remember that one half as much as TWIA...

I find 'Firework' quite average now-a-days, probably my least favourite from her ('Wide Awake' aside). I'm not really that sure she has a signature song yet, but the closest to one is definitely 'Firework' or 'Hot n Cold'.
