Some groups or artists have many hits that it's very hard to narrow it down to say they have 1 signature song.A good example of this is The Beatles or Elton John.

I think "Candle In The Wind" could be that for him. Maroon 5 is a good example too. I would say "This Love" could easily be that for them. I could make a case for "Makes Me Wonder" and "One More Night" being also those too. But TL just seems to feel like that song. |

Elton John has a few songs that could be his signature song,Your song, Candle in the wind, Rocket man,Bennie and the Jets,Tiny Dancer or Crocodile rock. |

It's easy for most artists really
Just ask some non-music stalkers for a song by an artist
If many people say the same song it is that one
This is i.e. why Kesha's is Tik Tok (although that was obvious)

Maroon 5 is a good example too. Maybe it's so hard to pick because they all sound the same? |

Mariah Carey. She has All I Want For Christmas Is You, Fantasy, and We belong Together. You could also throw One Sweet Day on there as well.

Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears. This applies to a lot of pop acts who were very successful and had a lot of big hits but no runaway hits.

Sadly, many people know her as the one who sings AIWFCIY  Would argue We Belong Together, close behind: One Sweet Day and Vision Of Love |

I don't mean to sound so obvious, but I'm curious what people would say kendrick's is? Would it be Swimming Pools? or has Humble overtaken it? I really don't know.

Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears. This applies to a lot of pop acts who were very successful and had a lot of big hits but no runaway hits. I don't feel like Katy's or Rihanna's are that hard to pin down. 'Firework' stands out for Katy IMO and not just for the whole 'plastic bag' meme (take note from your history Katy. There was a time when you didn't have to force the meme to happen). For Rihanna, 'Umbrella' seems to be it. Britney's is harder to pin down, I'll give you that. 'Cause like, her first three lead singles are such iconic moments not just in her discography/videography but in pop culture - and then you've also got 'Toxic'. So already that's four to choose from. |

Katy Perrys is not Firework. Hers is definitely California Gurls.
