Dark Paradise is better than video games 

Judas is better than BTW by miles 

Unconditionally is better than roar

My first thought as well!

 

Also, not a flop single, but at least back in 2010 it was less successful than the lead - I prefer Back To December over Mine. Both great songs though.

Second one might be unpopular but I still prefer it over EOM.

Came here to post this....It was my number one song that year on Spotify. It did well here in Europe but it's really too bad it flopped everywhere else, it is SUCH a good song.
