I don't think a topic of this type exists on this board, but correct me if I'm wrong.
What if...your chart's #1 songs never existed, be it before, during, and after hitting #1? What would have hit #1 instead?
I've been going through my archive and applying this scenario, and needless to say, I've found some VERY surprising results to say the least.
Here's my would-be #1s for this year so far: (UPDATED FOR 2005 AND 2006):
