Best Performing Song of Every Peak

 

Hey guys! A few weeks ago, someone left a comment asking about the best performing song below a certain peak. And it gave me a great idea for a post. I was curious about what was the best performing song of every peak. I did some research by going through all of the ultimate ranks, and made a list of the songs with the most point totals for each peak. This list was very surprising. There's a lot of songs on this list that you wouldn't expect to be the best performing song of its peak. No songs have ever peaked below #41, so #45-#42 will be skipped. Alright, let's get started!


#45-#42: No songs have ever peaked this low.

  1. I am woman is the most surprising because I dont like that song because it teaches the world bad grammer it should be "I am a woman" get your articles right Emily melon! Im surprised nothing went below #41 because back in my day there are 45 spots on the countdown which means there should be every song but I guess hits 1 made a mistake.
