"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.

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)
