Levitating #2 already,  shook at how it's become Dua's signature song

 

Several classics: How Do I Live,  Bohemian Rhapsody, You're Still The One,  It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Gloria, All That She Wants,  Breathe,  and so many more

[Nando_05]

Bad Romance is too low

37. Ciara ft. Missy Elliott - “1, 2 Step”

 

A #1 in my eyes

[cashmoneybabygrande]

Shocked that Apologize never went #1 I thought it did. And of course Bad Romance deserved.

28. Taylor Swift - “You Belong With Me”

 

A hit 

[skizzo]

Leann, Jewel, Shania, Faith, queens!

 

And also Technotronic with that eurodance bop

[rihannabiggestfan]

Ya Kid K*, not Felly

[JorgeM]

Are you telling me that any of these songs is bigger than Bohemian rhapsody …? I know is based in chart points but so useless 

[Green]

I wonder if Levitating could snatch How Do I Live and become the biggest female Hot 100 hit off all time.

[Ampersand13]

I definitely thought Complicated would have made it somewhere on this list but I guess it wasn't as big as I thought? Genuinely shocked

[drivers license]

where’s Complicated? 

 

25. Kelly Clarkson -  “Since U Been Gone”

28. Taylor Swift - “You Belong With Me”

 

[byzantium]

A little surprised to not see I Knew You Were Trouble or Party in the USA

Edited February 2, 2022 by byzantium

[Party Monster]

its hard to believe levitating bigger than Party in the USA, belong with me, since you been gone, or thinking out loud 

[Dingdong123]

You Belong With Me a classic i know that’s right

 

I hope Taylor would acknowledge this classic, she’s paid this dust these days ughh

It certainly doesn’t feel as big IMO. Blame streaming and the way chart points work nowadays.

[stronger23]

I swear I thought a handful of these went number 1

[XxxKatyCatxxX]

Bohemian Rhapsody on #50? Excuse me?
