this brief observation could easily start a whole new thread, but let's stir up some discussion about the elusive "breakout song" I presume by that you mean a song that broke the rules and changed genre?

What songs in the past to y'all see as having been a breakout song?

I'd be really interested in knowing where this comes from... who would have time to do that? and how? I've wasted countless hours on YouTube listen to just a handful of tunes... which is usually Don's fault!!!
