Ones from 2000-present shouldn’t really be taken as serious as the 90′s one. The ones in the 90′s were from when singles actually sold like digital singles today, with physical singles dead the ones in today’s century lasted that long because the artist had a big fanbase. American Idol ones naturally also sold good.
I’m probably missing a few so tell me if I am.
