Cannon attempted to argue that Mars has more hits than the iconic Beyoncé, leading to a lively discussion among his co-hosts.
During the show, Cannon praised Bruno Mars’ live performances, likening them to the energetic style of Morris Day and the Time. He also mentioned the high ticket prices for Beyoncé and Taylor Swift‘s tours, stating his preference for attending a Bruno Mars show instead.
Cannon’s claim that Mars has more hits than Beyoncé was met with strong opposition from his co-hosts. They listed several of Beyoncé’s solo classics, such as “Single Ladies,” “Drunk In Love,” and “Crazy In Love,” as well as popular Destiny’s Child hits like “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name.”
Despite the counterarguments, Cannon stood by his position, asserting that Bruno Mars actually has more hit records. When pressed to name some of Mars’ hit songs, Cannon struggled to recall them, citing the pressure of being put on the spot.
Fans of Beyoncé swiftly responded to Cannon’s statement on social media, expressing their disagreement and highlighting Beyoncé’s impressive chart success.
Beyoncé’s illustrious career statistics include but are not limited to, eight No. 1 songs, 21 top 10 hits, and a total of 81 Hot 100 singles, surpassing Mars’ record of eight No. 1 songs, 18 top 10 hits, and 32 Hot 100 singles.
