So, between Hello in late 2015 and Despacito in 2017, there were 3 smash hits covering likely the majority of the weeks in that time. Does anyone remember even a single #1 from 2016, because there are 3 there.
The other target rich environment is 2000-2004 with 5 more.
Somebody That I Used to Know? That song was played nonstop in 2011ish, then the dude disappeared from the face of the earth.
Been guessed, and that was also posted in response to my post where I was guessing a bunch of old timey stuff. I bet the two first songs were 1 hit wonders, but a lot of the other stuff since may not be.
Irreplaceable
Viva La Vida
We Found Love
