Artists might be considered music superstars, but that doesn’t always mean they’ve gone to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
From massive rock groups and boy bands to iconic vocalists and singer-songwriters, there are countless acts that have managed to inspire generations of entertainers and win over millions of fans without having ever actually notched a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Over the years, there have been some especially surprising music icons who would seem to have a few No. 1s under their belt, but for whatever reason, their songs never managed to end up sitting at the top spot of the chart.
Not having a No. 1 doesn’t take away from these stars’ talent, and it’s pretty interesting to see how charts don’t always mean everything when it comes to a musician’s success and impact on pop culture at large.
