The Biggest Hot 100 Hits to Peak at Nos. 25-1
The Biggest Hot 100 Hits to Peak at Nos. 25-1
No. 2
"Bad Romance," Lady Gaga (2009)
As with Nos. 41 and 11, a No. 2 peak can induce frustration for chart-watchers, artists and labels one position away from celebrating significantly greater chart glory. (Daryl Hall & John Oates, in fact, have seen titles stop at all three numbers). Still, a No. 2 peak hasn't prevented a pair of songs from earning the honor of top Hot 100 title of the year: "Breathe," Faith Hill (2000) and "Hanging By a Moment," Lifehouse (2001). Meanwhile, Gaga's modern classic has sold 5.6 million downloads and become one of Mother Monster's signature songs.
No. 10 "Brown Eyed Girl" Van Morrison (1967)
No. 9 "Don't Stop Believin", Journey (1981)
No. 8 "Sweet Home Alabama", Lynyrd Skynyrd (1974)
No. 7 "Titanium", David Guetta feat. Sia (2012)
No. 6 "I'm Yours", Jason Mraz (2008
