Songs that peak at #2 with a large amount of points, blocked only by another massive song.

"Best Song Ever" by One Direction. All the ingredients were there for a #1 hit. 300k+ sales week, record-breaking YouTube launch (at the time), tons of early airplay...and yet it was released in the middle of Blurred Lines' domination.

Songs that end up peaking at #1 on the Bubbling Under.
Shout-out when 6ix9ine didn't get even one song from his album charting last year, and the #100 song that week was "Stuck With U" by Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. ๐

Misery Business by Paramore. It spent something like 31 weeks on the Hot 100 between 2007 and 2008, yet it didn't make either Year-End list. It's the ultimate example of a song getting caught between years.

Demi had a streak going with singles from the Confident album. Cool for the Summer peaked at #11. Confident peaked at #21. And the final single was just one position away from completing this pattern by peaking at #2 on Bubbling under.

Any hit song blocked by a song propelled to #1 by fanbase mass buying or streaming farms. Worst example is Good 4 U, one week at #1 then blocked at #2 for months by that fraud-fueled BTS song that no one remembers.

I do not remember but what song kept it off from going no.1 but i immediately thought of Hotline Bling. I remember being really bummed when it got stuck at no.2, it really was the most popular song/video at that time.

I remember being really bummed when it got stuck at no.2, it really was the most popular song/video at that time. IIRC (going off of Billboard Breakdown episodes lmao) it got blocked by The Hills the week the video released because Drake only put it on Apple Music and by then Billboard didnโt count Apple Music video streams for the Hot 100 (and iโm not sure if theyโve changed that, they probably have). And when he included it in YouTube the week after, it was also the week the 1-2 punch of Hello and Sorry smashed the top 2.

If #2 hits are gonna come to mind, Iโd go with hits that had many weeks at #2 that werenโt in the decade-end (or the GOAT 600) but would be if they were #1. Examples: Baker Street from 1978 and Electric Avenue from 1983.

I also find it funny someone mentioned Lover's singles when her team clearly tried hard. That wasn't bad luck either, the songs just didn't connect well (at the time); if anything some of those songs overperformed. As of late Luke Combs' "Fast Car" has had some bad luck. Each time it sort of made a move to #1, something else came along seemingly out of nowhere to block it (Oliver Anthony, and then "I Remember Everything" surprising).

Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait" was the #10 song of the whole year in 1998, despite peaking at #11.

Yeah I am gonna just go ahead and *completely* disagree with this assertion. The first two "Lover" singles absolutely suffered from bad luck in terms of timing, as their respective cumulative first week point totals would have been enough to snag #1s at most any other weeks during the charting year. They just happened to drop while the biggest #1 of all time was charting at the top.

Did I miss the post where somebody mentioned Missy Elliottโs โWork It?โ An agonizing 10 weeks at #2.
