"Old Town Road" blocking "You Need To Calm Down" comes to mind.
Also, "The Box" blocking "Yummy" - I don't hate the latter as much as others do, but given Justin's sheer desperation to get it to the top spot, I'm glad the song that people genuinely wanted to listen won.

Not Hot 100 but I have to highlight. There was a 14 or so week span this year where “Level of Concern” by twenty one pilots was #1 on Alternative Airplay and it blocked quite a few things. Two songs I dislike, “Bang” by AJR and “Death Bed” by Powfu f/ beabadoobee, were blocked at #2. It did stop “Caution” by The Killers and ”Honeybee” by The Head and the Heart from getting more weeks in at #1, as well as completely block Tame Impala and Cage the Elephant, but the fact that it stalled two shitty songs makes it fine. I don’t even “love” the song. I just like it but I love that it did that, so I guess you could say I do love that song.

Whichever song blocked Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" from hitting #1. That would be "At the Hop" by Danny & the Juniors.

I don't even love "The Box" but saving us from "Yummy" being a #1 hit deserves it's own kind of recognition.

“Old Town Road” blocking every song that peaked at #2 for like 19 weeks straight. All the songs that peaked at #2 never even deserved to peak at #2, let alone get blocked from #1. Glad that situation worked out the way it did, because songs like “Me!” are now long forgotten. It’s too bad there wasn’t a big enough #1 hit to block “Rain on Me” and “Stuck On You.”
