Ironic single titles?

[iHype.]

Jay Sean - Do You Remember? 
Despite being a top 10 hit in 2010, most people would not remember it today. 

Keyshia Cole - I Ain't Thru
After amassing 3 platinum albums and 7 top 40s in the 00s, this 2010 single failed to chart, and she never had another chart hit again.


Katy Perry - The One That Got Away
After 5 consecutive #1 singles, this was the single that missed #1. 

[willapted33]

Julia Michaels - Issues

it's ironic because the song itself has a lot of issues

[wjr15]

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
She obviously didn't just shake off the haters when her following album included songs like "Look What You Made Me Do" "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" and "I Did Something Bad"

Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion
The song was poised to be somewhat of a comeback single after Artpop but it was just a perfect illusion.

One Direction - Best Song Ever
This one is self explanatory.

[iHype.]

Kesha - Die Young
The single's chart run was ended prematurely due to a mass shooting.

Katy Perry - Dark Horse
Ironically, became a dark horse hit, was not originally planned to be a single period, yet became her biggest hit on Hot 100.

Black Eyed Peas - Where Is the Love?
Song got a huge amount of love, became their first hit after two albums of unsuccessful singles.

[Naos]

Lil Pump - Gucci Gang

It's not much about Gucci, and he specifically points out he'd rather buy Balmains.

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

Last Dance/I Will Survive - Selena
She did these cover songs at what would be her last concert.

Let's Go Crazy - Prince

One lyric of the songs "We're not gonna let the elevator breaks us down", and he was found dead in an elevator.

Lucky - Britney Spears

The song seems to foreshadow her epic meltdown years later.


I Miss Music - Monica

She sings about how music used to be good in the old days, but the music on Code Red doesn't live up to her nostalgia.

[leonagwen]

Amy Winehouse- Rehab

[Abbaschand]

Despacito: The beat is rapido.

[mkarns]

John Lennon - "Just Like Starting Over"--he was killed while it was climbing the charts.

Nelly - "#1"--peaked only at #22 (Hot 100) or #12 (CHR). (Furthering the irony, his next hit "Hot in Herre" did live up to its predecessor's title.)

T-Pain & Chris Brown - "Best Love Song"--uh, no.

Imagine Dragons - "Radioactive"--being radioactive usually means nobody wants to touch someone/something. Song is one of the 10 best selling singles ever (over 8 million, in less than six years.)

[✨ 𝑔𝓋 ✨]

Lil Dicky f/ Chris Brown - "Freaky Friday"
- It is not officially released on a Friday.

[aerodynamite]

Big Sean - "My Last"
His first and obviously not last hit. Would've been an embarrassing one-hit wonder song title.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

kinda Ariana Grande - no tears left to cry...unfortunately

omg you went there


Britney - Overprotected + Lucky both were warning signs of the events of 2007 despite none of them being written by her

Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come To An End) ... welp .. her chart success did come to an end after this masterpiece of a song became a hit

well, it's true and I'm sorry for that

What about Furtado's "Give It To Me"? A #1 hit

[House Lannister]

Top of the World---Mike Posner w Big Sean

Ironically, this never charted.

On Top of the World---Imagine Dragons

Peaked at 79 in the same year (2013).

Gold---Imagine Dragons

Another song that never charted. I don't think it even sold enough singles to achieve Gold.

[Deleted]

U Don't Know Me by T.I was his first hit. No one knew him prior to that song.

[collegedropout]

Ironic by Alanis Morisette

[chillpill]

Jewel's "Break Me" in 2002 came out at the same time when she suffered a bone fracture.

[aerodynamite]

Korn's "Y'all Want a Single" was released as a single.

Y'ALL WANT A SINGLE, SAY FUCK THAT! FUUUUUUCK THAAAAT, FUCK THAT!

[kcdawg13]

G-Eazy's Me, Myself, and I. It's a song about himself featuring another artist.

[leonagwen]

The Bee Gees- Staying Alive. Barry Gibb was the lead vocalist on this song and in 2018 he is the only surviving member of The Bee Gees left.

[nick64]

Delicate - Taylor Swift
The only single from Reputation to hold up

Youngblood - 5 Seconds of Summer
The big break of a band thought past their prime

Let Me Go - Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso f/Florida Georgia Line & watt
Has some of the best longevity this year for a song peaking in the teens

Alone - Halsey f/Big Sean & Stefflon Don
Halsey took a solo song and added two rappers for the single release

I’m the One - DJ Khaled f/Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Quavo & Lil Wayne
This song has five artists, and received a spiritual sequel

All Time Low - Jon Bellion
His only hit

Heavy - Linkin Park f/Kiiara
Marked a switch to their lightest sound to date

[ry4n]

an album title, but David Guetta's Nothing But The Beat actually features quite a number of vocalists

[Mylo13 💜]

Brave by Sara Bareilles

While I love this song, this is one of the least brave songs ever lol.

[aerodynamite]

^Similarly, "Roar" by Katy Perry sounds more like a purr.

[lazer]

Perfect by Ed Sheeran

It's not perfect lol.

[Relaxing Cup]

I always thought Michael Jackson - Black or White was cheeky.

[iHype.]

How did we forget

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

Spent one week atop the Hot 100 in 1998.

[✨ 𝑔𝓋 ✨]

Gotye f/ Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know
- They're both one hit wonders.

Me: "Hey, do you know Gotye?"
Someone: "No, he's somebody that I used to know"

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

One Direction - Best Song Ever
