Dr Fudge 8,342 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 What’s a pop song that was never a hit, but you stan it hard anyway and know it deserved better? For me, Tove Lo’s True Disaster. Still fresh off the success of singles Habits and Talking Body from her debut album, Tove Lo just couldn’t keep the momentum going in the US with her sophomore effort Lady Wood. Cool Girl splashed on the Hot 100 for a sec but True Disaster missed the chart altogether. Seems to have had ok success on Swedish charts. Nevertheless, the song slaps and always felt like such an overlooked track. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh Tove Lo really should have become a MPG. How she was never picked up by the mainstream baffles me. She has such a great catalog of not-hits Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOK 76,406 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Many Marina songs come to mind cause she's really that underrated but this hast to be the biggest, most obvious hit that never was. It did pretty well in Europe but it never reached what it deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Don't laugh at me but I loved this when it was released and thought it was pop perfection and so much better than Stars Are Blind (which I also loved at the time). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad she’s at least created a huge following regardless, but boy has the mainstream slept on her. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years.

BBhomemaker 5,611 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Now i’m a Bey fan and the surprise visuals albums startegy was effective but, on the other hand, the way the singles are pushed after the album is not good at all, so many of her songs got a lot of potential to be hits but failed to be anything, it’s like all the interest were gone. I’m thinking of Pretty Hurts, Haunted (who could had a moment with the 50 shades success), then Freedom with Kendrick ______ another song that i thought should have been way bigger was Halsey - Nightmare. Right after Without Me success, the music video got budget, idk it wasn’t pop but still could had been bigger in a era where pop wasn’t « cool » anymore… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it became somehow a hit but with time.. like little by little people discovered Marina, but when the song was realised it wasn’t massive. Now yes, maybe cause the streaming platforms helped a lot of « indie » artists and songs to spread, like Lana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
