First one that comes to mind for this year is Foo Fighters' "Rope". In fact, the entire project. They went from my favourite record and lead single of their career to atonal noise in just two album cycles.

Still, to this day, I feel like despite CaliGurls amazing success, it was still a lackluster lead single. I do too and am surprised it was successful as it was Peaked at #86 on my personal chart. I couldn't believe a Tik Tok remix could go so far with other listeners.

Rihanna - Russian Roulette (wasn't my cup of tea) Janet - Call On Me (always thought So Excited would have been a stronger lead) Mariah - #Beautiful (never got into it) Madonna - Gimme All Your Luvin (weakest lead, for sure)

I feel like Lana del Rey's single choices are often kind of questionable. Like, "Mariners Apartment Complex" was the listening public's first taste of NFR! and not "Doin' Time" (the obvious pick) or even the title track. Weird to me.

"Russian Roulette" - Rihanna "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" - P!nk "Wind It Up" - Gwen Stefani "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - Black Eyed Peas "Don't Tell Me" - Avril Lavigne, and this one isn't a bad song at all. It's just not the single you come back with after such a massive era.

This song was never going to do well in North America, and it didn't. It peaked at #6 in Canada, so it was a Top 10 hit in one of the three North American countries. However, I wasn't aware that underperforming in the US, it's automatically labelled as disappointing in terms of how you like or dislike a song.

However, I wasn't aware that underperforming in the US, it's automatically labelled as disappointing in terms of how you like or dislike a song. In North America, I am talking about the USA. Looking at the USA pop top40 radio & Billboard Top 200 chart. I am definitely not the only one that didn't like "Slow". Top40 radio "Slow" peaked at 33 vs "Can't Get You Out My Head" peaked at 3. Billboard Top 200 Album chart. Body Language peaked 42 Fever peaked 3 One song the general public liked "in the USA" keep requesting the song on radio stations & ran out to the stores to buy her "Fever" cd. The other one "Slow" people did not like enough for it to last on radio & scared people off from buying her cd "Body Language" .

Lana's the rare artist who never really chased after mainstream fame. She has her fans who appreciate whatever she chooses as her leads. OP: Me! - Taylor Swift is the first one I think of. Definitely childish yet I still enjoy it. But the widespread "wtf is this" reaction at the time was hilarious and iconic
