Bad Romance should not be on the list, should have been replaced by Work It. The rest seems accurate.

How Do I Live was robbed.

Just like Thinking Out Loud, How Do I Live was a huge song that was blocked by one of the biggest songs of all time. Rimes, who spent 12 weeks at #3 on top of her 4 weeks at #2 was blocked by Candle In The Wind 1997. But, Rimes did win out by being BB's #1 of the 1990s. We already know about TOL.

Even though I'm not a M5 fan, I'm surprised Sugar and Payphone aren't on the list.

Where is Payphone?

It's basically just down to luck/timing.

 

Summer 2010 had a few massive hits at the same like like Airplanes, Love The Way You Lie, California Gurls, so it was very competitive for #1. Although I remember Dynamite lasting till around the end of the summer/early autumn so maybe it was blocked by Teenage Dream or something.

 

Early 2010 was different, the top songs would have had lower points so a song like Imma Be or Break Your Heart could sneak in a week or two.

Bad Romance performed way better while thier chart run but i guess its spend more weeks and thats why so high.

but still Bad Romance should've been in Top10 or 15 at least.

 

The most surprising part of this was a Lady Gaga song got to #4 on rhythmic :rip: I didn't know they used her.

Where is Lights? ?

Tbh, it spent over 57 weeks on the Hot 100 which is considerable, but "only" 14 weeks in the Top 10 which I guess held it back. Its absence is still a bit of a surprise though.

Poor Pon De Replay and Run This Town. They never stood a chance

Nnn at 1,2 Step being bigger than Bad Romance.  And the monsters tried to say it was bigger than #1 hits like E.T.

Doesn't Missy's Work It hold the record for longest weeks at #2? I'm surprised she's not on this list :huh: 

No. Deborah Cox holds the record for longs running #2 song that didn't hit #1 with something like 14 weeks spent at #2. Whitney Houstons Exhale (Shoop Shoop) also spent longer at #2.
