Inspired by my list of B-Listers and C-Listers who should be superstars, I took all the artists who had 10+ votes (minus Kylie since she isn't a B-lister) and asking which of these songs - fan favorites released between this year and last year - should've been a smash hit, a song that should've been number one on the charts for multiple weeks

1. all the time β this is immaculate, deserved to be Zara's solo breakthrough I think. takes me back to Summer 2019.
2. motivation β bop for the ages. a bit too Ariana Grande throwaway-ey to pick here but still gets me pumped.
3. icy β Kim has so much better than this.
4. torn β this is good, I'm glad it did its thing in Europe. an ABBA almost-sample rarely fails me.
5. break up song β too obvious of a trend chase. still a bop.
6. rooting for you β good playlist filler.
7. baby, I'm jealous β skip.

1. "All The Time"
2. "Motivation"
3. "Baby, I'm Jealous"
4. "Icy"
5. "Torn"
I don't know the other two. I like all five of these, though.

Until now, I had been under the impression "Motivation" actually was a hit, mainly from the online buzz. But that's the best of tracks I've heard here.

"Break Up Song" because Little Mix's take on the '80s was just outstanding. I wish it had the success "Sweet Melody" is having.

"Maneater" did well in the UK, if I recall correctly, and yeah, it's a shame it didn't smash in the US as well. The only one here that could fit the criteria is "Dangerously In Love", really. |

Most of these were hits, though. "London Bridge" was a #1 hit, while "Can't Let Go", "Come Back To Me", and "Let's Wait Awhile" were all #2 hits.

Why tf are you talking about A-listers in a thread I clearly specified to be about highlight current B-listers and C-listers though? |

If only Little Mix had sent Break Up Song to USA radio. It would have smashed.

1. Icy - my personal favorite
2. Break Up Song - one of the best results of the 80s Now trend
3. Rooting For You - how tf did this have the 2 least votes before i got here, it S L A P S
4. All The Time - a bop, but pales before the Top 3
5. Motivation - kinda meh, but the horns are great
6. Torn - never got the hype for this, one semi-ABBA sample does not make a great song
7. Baby, I'm Jealous - lol
