Opposite of the Unbelievable #1s thread.
I'm in the process of making a spreadsheet of all songs I've charted, and I noticed that songs that I really like today actually flopped on my chart. The ones that have stuck out so far:
(during Top 40 era) Lady Gaga - Just Dance (feat. Colby O'Donis) - #24 P!nk - So What - #28
I'm not too far along in adding all the songs, but I'm sure I'll find more.

Just Dance originally peaked at like #67 or something for me. Considering all the records Gaga now holds on my chart, her first few singles didn't do that well. I later recharted Just Dance before The Fame Monster era ended and its new peak is in the 40s.
One that always stuck out to me though was Beth Hart's LA Song. I only heard it a few times back when it was a current so it charted for a week at #96 in 2000. Years later I got the album and fell in love with the song and now it's strange for me to see that a song I love so much peaked so low. There are other examples of songs I didn't really get into until much later. This example was because I wasn't familiar enough with the song at the time for it to do well. I guess if I had heard it more, it would have been able to do well. The Just Dance example is probably more appropriate for this thread because I just wasn't that into it at the time, even though I heard it often enough.

No song is a flop if it reaches my chart But there are some songs that ended up being short-lived because I got sick of them, including "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, "Don't Phunk With My Heart" by Black Eyed Peas, "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback, and most recently "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.

I can't think of anything more shocking than in early 2006 when Kelly Clarkson, who has been a chart staple from the very beginning, peaked at #40 on my top 40 with "Walk Away". I got sick of the song FAST and I thought she was getting overexposed, so it was a major flop.

I can't think of anything more shocking than in early 2006 when Kelly Clarkson, who has been a chart staple from the very beginning, peaked at #40 on my top 40 with "Walk Away". I got sick of the song FAST and I thought she was getting overexposed, so it was a major flop. To follow that point, that really was the last Kelly song to do any real damage on my chart. For me there is a decent list of songs that were unbelievable flops and as much as I love Carrie Underwood, 2 come to mind immediately and they are....her last 2 singles. I seriously thought I would like them more and thought they would do much better after all the success she's had on my chart, but Something In The Water only reached the 20s and Little Toy Guns only logged 1 show at #99 on my chart. To me you're considered a flop if you have high expectations or such with said song and you've had a great track record, but fail to do well. In fairness, my chart is more complicated to figure out than in years past. Flyleaf also falls in that same line as Thread sort of disappointed and same with Set Me On Fire. Three Days Grace has the same problem. I Am Machine didn't really do much damage on the chart and fell off quick. And I'll throw in this one too. You know by now I'm all about Cimorelli, but their song Renegade was an unbelievable flop on mine [but i might give it another go eventually]
