"Good Days" and it was god awful to watch how radio treated it. "Not Myself Tonight". Christina was blackballed by the time the video was released. This should've been an easy top 10 peak. Radio’s biggest crime against Christina will always be “Dirrty.” Especially since it was a big hit everywhere except the U.S. But at least they didn’t drop it and it lingered around for a long while. The initial treatment was definitely misguided and maybe sexist? Idk. Also I’d replace “Not Myself Tonight” with “Your Body.” NMT was just not clicking with the public. But YB was basically constructed to be her radio comeback. They even gave it a Radio deal. And it still fizzled out at #19 and fell because they were too busy playing Maroon 5.

Possibly an unpopular opinion but "Golden" by Harry Styles. It climbed to #14 and sat there for months, only to start falling, then have a rebound just so it could climb exactly to #14 for another couple months without doing anything. #TEASE lol Not necessarily an unpopular view. I don't get why after two #1 songs, "Golden", which sounds like a hit, was brickwalled in the mid-teens--and just sat there for a long time while other songs moved up and down over it. I got to thinking, "either push it up to the top 10 or drop it, already." Unfortunately they ultimately did the latter and Harry hasn't had a pop followup.
