I swear, it's like the mindset nowadays is "I don't hear about it as much as the other big singles, therefore, it doesn't exist anymore." I couldn't agree more. I've never found "my station plays this song all the time, but never plays this other song" to be a compelling argument because every radio station is playing different recurrent songs. Just because one station is not playing it at the moment does not mean that no other station is.

"Good 4 U" is now likely regarded as Olivia's signature song and may well continue to be that, but I don't think "Drivers License" is really forgotten. If anything has slipped through the cracks (after just one year) it's probably "Deja Vu", which was a hit at right about the same time as G4U and ultimately overshadowed by it. No way. Deja Vu plays all the time on the radio. I haven't heard dl playing on the radio frequently since June of last year. Also literally everyone says "God, it's brutal out here" all the time. It's Olivia's second most remembered song by far. I never hear anyone talk about dl anymore which is so unfortunate.

Different people will have different takes on this due to their tastes, listening habits, what gets played on radio or elsewhere in their area, and other factors. But if I weren't a chart numbers buff then these are some of the songs would make me wonder, "was that really that big a hit?"
All Or Nothing (blecch) The Reason Let Me Love You (Mario) Leavin' Down Just a Dream Without You (Guetta/Usher) Am I WrongLocked Away (would this have been a hit in the first place without Adam?) 7 Years Cold Water All 2000s/10s CHR #1's that at least to me don't feel that big or well remembered in retrospect, if they even did at the time. Yes, all the songs highlighted minus Without You/Leavin are still rememeber today. But these songs felt like huge hits as they were constantly on the radio a lot. Let Me Love You, The Reason, and Down were practically inescapable. London Bridge feels relatively forgotten for a 2006 song but I agree, the rest of those are pretty well remembered. I'd say these are better examples of r&b and hip hop songs that are kinda forgotten now Blame It Knock You DownDead and Gone Run It! Shake It Off (the Mariah one) Disco Inferno Don't Phunk With My Heart Grillz Money Maker Ridin' Kiss Kiss Clumsy Walk It Out (by Unk) Love In This ClubSexy Can I The Way You Move Goodies Burn Lean Back I Don't Wanna Know (by Mario Winans) Slow MotionOver and Over Lose My Breath Freek-A-Leek Slow JamzSunshine (by Lil Flip) Right ThurrShake Ya Tailfeather Stand Up All I Have Damn! (by YoungBloodz) Magic Stick Ain't It Funny U Don't Have To CallGangsta Lovin 03 Bonnie & Clyde Don't Mess With My Man Stutter Case of the ExIncomplete (by Sisqo) You Sang To Me Get It On Tonight I think there's also a fair bit of post-grunge and adult contemporary songs from those years that are mostly forgotten. The highlighted songs are still very well remembered today. No one has forgotten about these and they still get lots of recurrent airplay today. Excuse me, but in what world is Without You by Guetta and Usher forgotten, and 03bac is remembered? 03bac is the definition of this thread. I never even knew that song existed until last year when I watched a Beyonce chart history video. I thought cil was Beyonces first hit apart from Destiny's Child for the first 17 years of my life. And even after that, I've never heard anyone talk about it at all. On the other hand, I hear Without You on the radio and in stores at least once a week. Not complaining tho cause that song is fantastic.

People on social media will say stuff like "all I need in this life of sin is me and boyfriend/girlfriend" or reference the song at some sort, and still played at some parties and the song still has lots of recurrent airplay. And you said 17 years old which means when it was huge you were very young...it was a huge hit when it came out and although it slipped under the radar bit, it is still well remembered. Plus, even people who were old enough to remember the song, they still consider Crazy In Love her first solo hit because she was the lead instead of feature. Without You does get lots of recurrent airplay, I'll agree there

Without You does get lots of recurrent airplay, I'll agree there Oh. Fron my experience I've just never really heard a lot about that 03bac. The only thing I know about it is that its Beyonce's first hit outside Destiny's Child. To be fair I was born in 04 so it was before I was born, but even then there's a lot of hits from that year that I did hear during my toddler years like In Da Club, Get Busy, Unwell, Get Low, Beautiful, Where Is The Love, Lose Yourself, and obviously, Crazy In Love. 03bac was not one of them. Hell, I hear Baby Boy more. And tbh the song from Bey's dil era that I hear the second most is Naughty Girl. But obviously that's not saying much and that song is still very forgotten, cause honestly, other than cil, dil is a very forgotten album. Iasf is way more remembered.

Also I want to add Oh My God by Adele. That was literally a hit from this year, and it's already forgotten.

I swear, it's like the mindset nowadays is "I don't hear about it as much as the other big singles, therefore, it doesn't exist anymore." Harlem Shake is the deadest meme out there. In about a decade or so clubs, bars, and other places will start having 2010s themed parties and nights, at which the DJ or someone will urge everyone to do the Harlem Shake, which will probably draw a blank for most attendees under a certain age.

I literally just said the other day drivers license is still amongst the top streamed songs globally...

Does a song have to get a ton of radio airplay to be considered “remembered”?
I also find it funny how everyone is taking their own perspectives and applying them to entire populations as if it’s fact. One person living in a city with radio stations playing a certain oldie can be right about that song being recognizable and remembered by people where they live while someone living in a place where their stations don’t play that song, thereby making it forgotten to them can still be right.
Personally, I haven’t seen any reference or mention of 03 Bonnie and Clyde outside of Pulse in years, and other than it being a song I’ve always loved, I wouldn’t say it has endured only because if it wasn’t a song I listened to on purpose, I’d have no reason to remember it ever existed, but if someone who lived somewhere else said the song was always played on the radio and everyone recognizes it 20 years later, who am I to argue?
It’s just silly to me because unless you’re omnipotent, how will you know one way or another?

David Guetta, Afrojack, Nicki Minaj, and Bebe Rexha made it all the way to #2 on the pop charts with Hey Mama. Arguably one of biggest hits of the careers for Afrojack and Bebe. And definitely would be relevant in a discussion of Guetta and Nicki's hits too.
The song is not in the top five popular song list on Spotify for any of these artists. Honestly, as a pop radio follower, even I forgot it existed until doing that post about Nicki's pop history.

Maybe we need to stop using the argument of "I don't hear this song frequently therefore it's forgotten" because it's so vague and personal. I've never heard Bonnie & Clyde '03, and a bunch of the other songs on that've been said as being remembered, out in the wild but I don't like just using my own experience because it seems like people do hear it often.
Not to mention, I think using recurrent airplay is a bit misleading, particularly if you don't listen to radio often.

I'm surprised no one has said In My Feelings yet. It was everywhere during the 3rd quarter of 2018 and it just suddenly slipped into irrelevance after that.

Lots of Drake singles shoot up the charts upon release and then kind of fall off and become totally forgotten. Unless you guys are still jamming out to "What's Next" or "Way 2 Sexy." I haven't heard them around in a while, and I suspect they're going to become relics of a forgotten past soon enough.
Drake has some iconic songs and some truly forgettable, monotonous songs that become hits just out of momentum. I think time will make the difference before the former (Passionfruit, Marvins Room, Nice for What) and the latter (all of CLB) quite clear.

Has anyone said Psycho yet, it's by far Post Malone's most forgettable number 1 and so many of his other songs that didn't hit 1 like Congratulations and Better Now are more memorable than it.

If we are being honest, most of (i don't know her) hits back in the day were huge at the time but forgotten. Ain't It Funny and All I Have are definitely forgotten. I'm Real is remembered and had a resurgence for the wrong reasons.
It's crazy to me how she does not have any long-standing hits and how most of them were products of their time.
The newer generation can't even name a song by her. The generation that was younger at the time only knows "On The Floor" and is unaware of her previous material maybe besides "Jenny From The Block."
