[dabunique]

[Draper.]

Into the Groove, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Dancing On My Own, Teardrops, 212, Toast, Somebody Else, Heroes, Run Away with Me, Ribs, Boys Don’t Cry, Working Day and Night, Drew Barrymore, Bad Girls, End of Time, Nasty Girl, B.O.B., Could You Be Loved…

 

MANY 10/10s 

[Maroonx]

Robyn, Kylie, Lana,... so many greats that missed the Hot 100 x

[geddymonster]

Something by Girls Aloud should be there (probably “Biology” or “Call the Shots”).

Born to Die didn't chart?

It was never pushed as an official pop single in the US - none of them were besides the SS remix. Only Video Games showed up in the lower part of the Hot 100 for only a week back when the album first dropped.

Some of these are shocking tbh

68 Jamiroquai, "Virtual Insanity" (1996)

 

Whatttt

[Ratviolo]

I legit thought Into The Groove was a #1 smash hit wtf  

[LikeaRebel]

Into the Groove probably would’ve hit #1 if it was allowed to chart. 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

YAS 212

 

where tf is Caroline honey

[khalyan]

Not you leaving Como La Flor out of the OP

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Their explanation for most basically being "it just flopped" 

[Luckitty]

i got a boy by girls' generation? is that a joke? 

[Relampago.]

Into the Groove wasn’t allowed to chart? Damn

[Harsh2256]

Warner deciding to release into the groove as a bside for angel is so unforgivable. Literally could have been her 3rd #1 hit. 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

UHM wtf... Why did i not see "Got Til Its Gone" on this list... thats literally the best song ever that never charted on the hot 100 and its literally notoriously known for it. massive snub

[Katamari]

wait is i got a boy higher than Bohemian Rhapsody

[Alongoria13]

The best bridge of all time did just that

[Katamari]

85 Ice Spice, "Munch (Feelin' U)" (2022)

 

yeah they are trolling hard here 

[Fastlane]

Ribs wasn't even a single.  Makes zero sense for me.

 

They should have nominated "Harleys in Hawaii", "911" and "Jump" for example.

End of Time? Gimme Gimme Gimme? Into the Groove? I can’t believe these didn’t chart!
