Hey guys! This is an idea for a post I've had floating around for awhile now. And since I've finished entering every single countdown since 2011 into CrownNote, I decided now was a good time to make it. I will be counting down the top 35 worst performing songs that went #1 on Hits 1. It will be based on the CrownNote points total. There's songs on this list that are super well-known and I'm surprised flopped so hard, songs you forgot went #1, or songs you completely forgot existed at all. Underneath each song I will also include a list of songs that didn't go #1 that performed better than it on the countdown. Alright, let's get started!
