Here is another one that everyone will disagree with me I am certain. Elton John - Candle In The Wind - blocked Usher - You Make Me Wanna - at number 1 for 7 weeks. You Make Me Wanna deserved number 1. I like Elton Johns songs, but Candle In The Wind IMO wasnt THAT good and the song was just hyped up IMO cause it was Elton John singing and making a comeback or something. Just my thoughts. The song was hyped up because it was a tribute to the late Princess Diana with re-worked lyrics specifically for her. It was a colossal musical moment. In fact, single wise, I can't say I've seen anything like it since and it remains the best selling single of all time*.
That said, I do prefer "You Make Me Wanna..." by far.
*That title could belong to "White Christmas," but who knows...

I don't hate One Sweet Day but I did hate that it blocked Not Gon' Cry, Sittin' Up In My Room, and Missing from #1 (and also would've loved to see Exhale at the top for another 11 weeks).

And Major Lazer deserved that #1 :( (I really like MØ's part too) also, Sorry and Love Yourself were only #1 for a combined 5 weeks that's not a long time at all for two songs especially lol |

I agree with the TMTC being blocked by Blank Space too. Sure I'll sing along to Blank Space, but I find it so overrated and I had had enough after the first 4-5 weeks at #1. And TMTC is great IMO and deserved a week at #1 (maybe the fact that BS blocked it made me feel more negatively towards Blank Space? Even though I don't actually hate it)

I don't love Starboy but it's a good song that doesn't deserve to be blocked by the awful Closer.

Closer blocking Heathens. Yeah, I can safely say the same myself. At least Heathens dealt a bit of karma on Hits 1's Weekend Countdown  Also, while this isn't a proper example, Harlem Shake spending five weeks at #1 locked Thrift Shop out of more time at #1, which in turn would've resulted in a higher spot on the Decade-End Hot 100 AND making Greatest of All Time. Gah!!! Another one, if it weren't for Blurred Lines, Best Song Ever could have potentially debuted at #1. That would've been pretty cool. (Also, interestingly, Mirrors only had one week at #2, which was the week BEFORE Blurred Lines hit #1.) |

I don't get all the massive hate for Closer :( I love the song I don't love Starboy but it's a good song that doesn't deserve to be blocked by the awful Closer. it's not in any way, shape or form awful though. I can see why it might not be the most interesting #1 but there has certainly been a multitude of much more unbearable songs at #1. Also technically there's still a really small chance for Starboy to hit #1 (and I hope it does even though I love Closer, Starboy deserves a turn at #1 especially since Cold Water and Heathens didn't) |

I don't mind (no pun intended) Usher's "Burn" (I actually used to love it), but it blocked two songs that are IMO way better (I Don't Wanna Know and The Reason)

I like Eminem's "Lose Yourself" but I was pissed when it blocked Missy's "Work It" from #1 for 10 straight weeks!!
There was one of those week's where "Work It" was #2 and also the greatest airplay gainer, so I thought the next week it had a chance at #1, but alas it did not happen. Eminem was just too big :(
And when 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" blocked "Since U Been Gone" from #1. I never really saw what the big deal about "Candy Shop" was other than the fact that there was 50's follow-up to The Massacre.

You know what's crazy when you think about it?
In 2013, Get Lucky, a song by Daft Punk, was blocked by Blurred Lines, which was #1 for 12 weeks. Get Lucky spent five weeks at #2.
And now, Starboy, another Daft Punk song, is stuck at #2. Next week, Closer will have been #1 for 12 weeks while Starboy will most likely have its 5th at #2.
It's a conspiracy.

Cheap Thrills blocking Cold Water. Also, Shape of You preventing Bad and Boujee from getting more weeks at #1 pissed me off so bad.
