Losing charted at #56!

That's the one I was meant to refer to in my original post! :lol:

 

True, and the point does still stand! It's just that emphasis was put on only having 'ONE' of her own songs charting when it isn't actually only one, I thought I'd correct it :D

I Could Get Used To This is a joint credit isn't it? (Sorry I still can't establish whether we include "And"/"&"/"x" etc.. as a lead credit or not ha!)

It is still primarily her song though - the distinction between joint lead and featured credits is getting increasingly blurry of late really.

I Could Get Used to This is primarily Becky's song! [edit: oops Bray beat me to it]

 

I suppose there's quite a few rent-a-rappers that could fall into this category. Ty Dolla $ign jumps out initially to me - if I've counted correctly he's had 13 top 100 hits but the only one as a "lead" was his Greatest Showman: Reimagined cover of The Other Side with MAX :lol:

Katy Perry might count now. Hwr biggest hits these last few years have all been as a feature!

Kinda cheating a bit here but, aside from the obvious, Pharrell has only had a couple of hits in his own right. Obviously producing is a big part of his work and he had some chart success with NERD too. I'm surprised he's not had more songs as a lead artist where he produces the song and has someone else sing on it, like with Calvin Harris.

I don't know why RAYE's solo material hasn't really done much chart-wise. I thought The Line would have done a lot better than it did.

I think there's still time for RATE, she's not really been around that long and her songs have sold well despite their peaks.

Chance The Rapper is another one I guess, he's got a ton of Top 10s as a feature but only a #94 hit by himself. (not that that's exactly a bad thing)

Ty Dolla Sign seems to have about 13821093834 hits as a feature but none of his own (unless you count like 83 people getting a joint credit for Sucker For Pain) :lol:

Keri Hilson had more hits as feature than as a main artist too didn’t she

Chance The Rapper

Keri Hilson had more hits as feature than as a main artist too didn’t she

</3 What a star. In A Perfect World... is one of my fave albums of all time and No Boys Allowed was so good too! Ugh. I need album 3.

 

(But yeah, you're right)

Quavo

Lil Wayne.

 

All of his Top 10 hits have been by features.

Kelli-Leigh - and her solo stuff is really great too

 

Nicki Minaj in the UK too like 80% of her biggest hits have all been features.

 

In the last like four years especially.

Normani I think will fall into this category too.

 

She’s not really strong enough musically or likeable enough to sell a single on her own but I imagine she’ll do reasonably well on tracks as a featured artist.

Sadly Troye Sivan :/

Sadly Xtina post-Back to Basics :cry: You Lost Me and Bound to You should have been as big as Say Something

You Lost Me is gorgeous! My favourite Christina ballad! There's a performance when she's sat on the floor and gives the best vocal performance, everything is just perfect.
