hahahahahahahaha

One Week by Barenaked Ladies was #1 for exactly 1 week (on the Billboard Hot 100)

off-topic but apparently "Two Can Play That Game" was never a hit in the US?!

U2 "One"

the version that was a hit in the uk is a remix also

also it still slaps

Disappointed The Beatles' "For No One" was never a single - apparently the horn player saw the chart and thought it was an abbreviation of "For Number One".

Seduction, "Two to Make It Right" (#2 on Billboard Hot 100)

Len Barry, "1-2-3" reached #1 on Cashbox, #2 on Billboard, #3 on Record Retailer (UK) in 1965

Chicago, "25 or 6 to 4" - #6 Cashbox, #4 Billboard

Lots of songs called Nowhere didn't chart.

"5-4-3-2-1" by Manfred Mann peaked at #5 in the UK.

Music Sounds Better With Youhas a video in which the song reaches number 1, this only happened in Greece and Spain.

DJ Snake’s Turn Down 4 What reached #4 in the US Billboard Hot 100.

“You’re The One That I Want” went to #1 in the US and the UK.

"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen - #1 in US, Canada, and Netherlands.

Feist "1234" peaked at either number 2 or 3 in Canada (Wikipedia is contradictory and Billboard website is wonky rn), #4 on the US Hot Digital Songs chart, and #34 on the US Modern Rock Charts lol

"I Got 5 On It" hit #5. (In Belgium.)

Big Maybelle's cover of "96 Tears" hit US #96 in 1967.

Love how this thread has us all just googling songs with numbers in the title

surely everyone just knows these things?

A counterexample: "867-5309/Jenny" reached #4 in the US and #2 in Canada, two of only three digits not mentioned in the title.

kraftwerk - "numbers" achieved a whole number value on one or more radio charts

assuming the theoretical extensibility of the radio chart model without explicit measurement

not only does the title of the song contain its highest chart position, it will always contain its highest chart position for any chart assuming a positive functional relationship between chart and play count.

"Baby One More Time"

"I'm a Slave 4 U" peaked at #4 in the UK.

"777-9311" reached number two on the R&B charts and number 88 on the pop charts.

It has a "77" and a "11" in it, and those are two numbers, and if you add them together you get an 88, so I think this should count.

"Seven Nation Army" peaked at #7 in the UK

It's not a single, but Mansun's Six neatly reached that position in the UK album chart.

Car 67 by Driver 67 got to number 7

(its pronounced six seven in the song)

stayin' alive by the bee gees reached #4 in the uk.

^ if only they'd done one long AAAAAAH instead of ah ah ah ah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-Three_(song)

“In Canada it coincidentally finished at number 33 on the RPM Alternative 30 year-end chart for 1997.”

Spice Girls, “2 Become 1”: #1 in several countries (including the UK), #2 in several others.

(Sadly, when Faithless tried to pull the same trick a couple of years later with “We Come 1” they didn’t get higher than #2 or 3)

and, inspired in part by del griffith:

”Number 9” by T-ara reached #5 in South Korea’s Gaon chart and #4 in its Hot 100, adding up to a combined peak of... number 9.
