Relive Eight Decades of Iconic Songs that Never Quite Topped the Charts
Hear hundreds of beloved songs over eight decades that only ever made it to the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, from Taylor Swift to Elvis Presley.
Standing in the shadow of No. 1 are hundreds of songs that stopped just short of the top of the Billboard charts. Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits.” Madonna’s “Material Girl.” The Village People’s “YMCA.” They were all massive hits, but none of them ever made it to the top spot!
