My unpopular opinion is that drivers license song will probably be her only hit and everyone/the GP will probably forget about it 3 years later. It is a hit of the now, not a classic. She will probably be one of those artists where is like "One hit wonders of the 2020s" or the "remind that drivers license girl"...kinda like how Leona was huge with that one song then off...leona deserved better tho
Now this is my opinion, not fact so dont quote me and try to jump down my throat.

I respect your opinion/prediction, but naaaah. She's not Gotye or Vanessa Carlton...and she may not be 'grande' as Ariana, but she's definitely the next IT girl. She has a big fanbase behind her, she is likeable, great voice, image, songwriting...and GP is really interested in her love/private life (so far). I mean, who would've thought in 2013, that "The Way" girl will be one of the best selling artists of the decade, and the most streamed female artist of all time.

People only know Bleeding Love, but as a Leona Lewis fan myself I am aware of her UK hits. Like I said, America/Simon did her dirty and she deserved to be bigger in America.

Leona had two hits in the U.S.: Bleeding Love and Better in Time. Also driver license has only been out for two weeks lmao. Let's let it sit before saying it is or isn't a classic

Yes, I know Better in time was a hit but literally no one mentions or remembers the song which is why I used Bleeding Love. Once again as a Leona fan, I am aware of her US/UK hits and I know Better in time was a hit but no one uses the song, and people refer to her in America as a one hit wonder...

I love Leona Lewis. Watched her perform with Take That on X Factor. She is brilliant, so talented, humble, and gorgeous. It's a shame she has not had the success she deserves around the world. At least at home, she is loved and respected. She has achieved 3 No.1s and 10 Top Ten hits. I particularly wish more people had heard her remake of "Hurt," which peaked No.8 in the U.K. - I will post the link to the most famous performance she delivered of it, just in case anybody is interested in checking it out:

She is truly talented.

Leona has always been respectful of Mariah and Whitney. One of the things that I love about Leona is that she not only loves Pop and R & B but she loves Rock and Alternative too and has remade, in her style, several songs from those genres. Simon Cowell and that label blow big time, they treat artists like bubblegum. But I reckon Leona's talent will prevail. She has given the U.K. a great Christmas classic in "One More Sleep" among other massive hits. Her remake of Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is pretty powerful too, she builds on that vocal so well. Have a nice day, mate! Yes, she revers the ones that came before her and she is such a sweet lady and that Christmas album is everything!

No I didn't, but the general public here in America did. I'm a huge Leona fan and I hate how people in America only know Bleeding Love when she has other good songs.

But she is still rich so I'm sure she's not complaining

I know this will drive some posters crazy, but I never really get the appeal of any songs from Melanie Martinez. I know that her songs were based on storytelling and her songs has a nostalgic and personal experience approach, but I just can't get along with a song from her.

I was saying in America she is considered a one hit wonder by the GP. You can literally look up "one hit wonders of the 2000s" and she will pop up and. I have stated many times previously that I know she has multiple hits. I am a Leona Lewis fan and I know her other UK hits. But here in America she is considered a one hit wonder. Despite Better In Time hitting #11 and #3 on pop radio, it didn't feel as huge and didn't have the impact Bleeding Love did which is why in America the general public considers her a one hit wonder. I dont make the rules, I'm just reporting them as I see it. This has nothing to do with me but with the GP. Once again, for the last time, I know Leona Lewis has multiple hits, but people in America consider her a one hit wonder.

And tbh, I think Jordin Sparks would've fallen under the one hit category since the GP doesnt know Tattoo or One Step At A Time, Battlefield saved her from the category.
Same with Natasha Bedingfield, Pocketful of Sunshine saved her from that category even though Love Like This and These Words were hits in the chart sense, but not with the GP.

Maybe I didn't clarify, everyone knows Unwritten and if it wasn't for Pocketful of sunshine she would he considered a one hit wonder. I wasn't referring toove Like this and These Words being hits because the GP has not touched them. But I ment to put Unwritten in there Basically, (had a hit with huge hit with Unwritten) Pocketful Full Of Sunshine saved Natasha from being remembered as a 1 hit wonder And Battlefield saved Jordin Sparks (had a hit with huge hit with No Air)from being remembered as a one hit wonder...

Also please notice how I said Pocketful Of Sunshine saved her from being a one hit wonder. That doesnt mean I was calling her one, that meant she had one big hit earlier before POS. And when I said Love Like This and These Words aren't hit in the GP sense, it can be assumed that I was obviously referring to Unwritten. What other big hit did she have in the US before POS? Therefore, it was very obvious I was alluding to Unwritten.

I still think going by what the GP believes are OHW is still a bad idea, especially in a forum of chart nerds where most people know the records. It's fine if people only know a few songs for an artist or they have a signature song that everyone knows but saying, if it's not remembered than they didnt have hits feels like a false mentality. I didnt know Toni Braxton, Blackstreet, The Goo Goo Dolls, and other artists had other hits but once I did, I stopped calling them OHW. Their other hits might not be as well remembered, doesnt mean they didnt have other hits.

Their other hits might not be as well remembered, doesnt mean they didnt have other hits. I'm not saying these artist are one hit wonders I'm just reporting how the GP in America feels about them. So by no means am I saying they are one hit wonders. I obviously know they have hits. For example, Joan Jett is considered a one hit wonder because she has that one huge song but she had other hits. Thelma Houston had that one big song and another song that peaked @ #38. She is still considered a one hit wonder. Christina Millian had a huge hit in '04 and Say I hit #21 and she is still considered a one hit wonder. The technical definition of a one hit wonder is someone who had one Top 40 hit and no others. I'm not calling these artist one hit wonders, I'm just reporting how America sees it. Once again, (how many times do I have to state this), I know PERSONALLY, that they aren't. So once again, this is not me saying this from my personal belief. This is just me reporting how America sees it. If you want you can tell America, how they shouldn't classify these artist as one hit wonders, I already got the memo, which is why I do not consider people like Leona Lewis or Joan Jett as one hit wonders. So tell America I got already understand this. Side note: No need to pick apart everything I say and try to debate me all the time.

Different kind of take this time, I kinda don’t like it when somebody calls a hit that doesn’t have the same recognition as the artists other big tracks “forgotten”. Like just because it doesn’t have the same amount of Airplay and popularity, it doesn’t mean it’s base doesn’t exist.

Bieber longevity is impressive imo. Far more impressive than Ariana scoring multiple Hot 100 no. 1 debuts. In 2020/2021 he still easily got top 10 Hot 100 debut , despite getting fluctuative hate/love.
2009-2011 : hated 2012 : got some loves 2013-2014 : hated again 2015-2017 : got even bigger loves (career peak) 2018-2019 : neutral 2020-....: hated again
