Even with the biggest artists of all time, there are always at least a few of their songs that kinda fly under the radar despite still being hits. Either they didn't have a huge peak during their initial chart run, or they've been pretty much forgotten in pop culture and don't even get played on the radio much. What are some songs in this vein that you think are underrated?
For example, one of my favorite Usher hits has to be "More", especially the RedOne remix. Sure, Usher made the ultimate club jam with "Yeah", but he's also great at making gym gams with "More". Though even compared to other late-period Usher hits like DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love or Scream, this one doesn't seem to be remembered as much, and I never understood it. I guess part of it is that the best version of the song is a remix, but still, it slaps.
Another one I think deserves mention is Rihanna's "Take A Bow". It was pretty big in 2008, but after that, it was pretty much forgotten compared to other huge Rihanna hits like "Umbrella" or "Work" or a lot of her other hits. Which is a shame, because it's one of my favorite Rihanna hits. It's such a perfect feeling of "I'm just done with your cheating ass. Bye bitch!", and it's just a really cathartic song. Such a shame it's been so forgotten over time.
