It took just 10 seconds for “Shallow” to become one of the greatest songs in film soundtrack history. The duet was first heard in trailers for A Star Is Born, Gaga’s big debut as leading actress helmed by duet partner and co-star Bradley Cooper. The film was coming off a confusing few years for Gaga: Her past two solo albums were chart and critical duds, but she was finding herself beloved by new fans with her jazz album (Cheek to Cheek, with Tony Bennett) and Super Bowl halftime performance. But when the key change of “Shallow” hit during the trailer — “ha ah ah ah ahhhhhhh” — a superstar was reborn. The song, a critical moment for the fictional, insecure Ally (Gaga) who sings it onstage during an arena show for has-been rocker Jackson (Cooper), feels just as massive as it should during the actual film. Offscreen, it’s a testament to the type of pop drama Gaga has always been capable of delivering and that fans will continue to imitate in karaoke bars and cars for years to come.

Plenty of young rock dreamers over the years have tried their best to summon a little of that old E Street magic, with most of them learning that some things are easier born than run. Leave it to Lady Gaga to outdo them all by getting Clarence Clemons himself to play a sax solo on her single. (“She was like, ‘Big Man!’” he recalled of their late-night studio session. “I was like, ‘Holy ****, man. Damn!’”) That flex was evidence of how firm her grasp of pop’s past, present, and future was in 2011 — but so is the rest of the song, a disco-rock-EDM cheeseball anthem for the ages.

So happy that Robyn is #1, I love her and that song. But let's be honest. More people remember Shallow and TEOG because  both are superior songs. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Formation is so high because overrated. Rigged list

Released on May 9 … well-played

[Monster7 5,621]

I know there is no perfect list but this was full of... choices

At least TEOG gets the recognition it always deserved

[weed 67,019]

"Nick Jonas - Jealous"  

and don't get out your pitchforks but I really don't understand how highly praised Robyn is, particularly her among all people who make dance music. They're good songs, she's talented, I agree, but THAT good? Why?

#12 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road 

[holy scheisse 20,310]
