History WMG / ToddInTheShadowsOHW

* "The Best Disco In Town" by The Ritchie Family: A medley of popular disco songs that was released during the genre's peak, which is widely thought to be a precursor to the "Stars on 45" medley singles of the early 80s. Their earlier single "Brazil" charted at #11, 6 points higher than "The Best Disco In Town".

* "Song 2" by Music/{{Blur}}: Despite being one of the progenitors for the {{Britpop}} movement, their [[TheRival rivals]] Music/{{Oasis}} ''were'' the face of Britpop Stateside. While Blur are very popular and influential in Britain, "Song 2" is pretty much the only thing they're known for in the U.S., and even then, most Americans only recognize the "Woo-hoo!" part of the chorus to the point that they don't know the song is called "Song 2". However, frontman Damon Albarn is also known for the Music/{{Gorillaz}} project. Despite Todd implying the possibility of a Blur episode to be Jossed in the S Club 7 OHW episode and confirming as such in the Frankie Goes to Hollywood episode, Todd noted that he is at least [[https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1779980601803842025?t=GQUCM5DDGxPLvBgtgfUXeg&s=19 reconsidering]] his stance on it but after an incredibly tepid audience response to their 2024 Coachella set.

* "All the Small Things" by Music/{{Blink182}}: While the band only had one Top 40 hit, they received significant airplay on pop radio and MTV in the late 1990s & early 2000s and have several Top 10 hits on the Alternative Rock charts.

* "Collide" by Howie Day: One of the original "White Guy With Acoustic Guitar" songs.

* "B.Y.O.B"[[note]]Bring Your Own Bombs[[/note]] by Music/SystemOfADown: The band is well known for its political views, particularly if it involves Armenia, and have three #1 albums on the Billboard 200 as well as several hits on the Alternative and Mainstream Rock charts. It's also not their SignatureSong, as "Chop Suey" is their most listened song on Website/YouTube and Spotify, with "Toxicity" in a respectable second place.

* "Friday" by Music/RebeccaBlack: Didn't even hit the Top 40, but was still notorious via MemeticMutation. Had Billboard incorporated Website/YouTube views in its chart calculations back in 2011, it could have very well made ''at least'' the Top 20, even possibly #1, at its peak. The ''Series/{{Glee}}'' cover did crack the Top 40 at #34, however.

* "Too Close" by Next: The group had three more Top 20 hits, which should disqualify them; however, "Too Close" was used as the basis for the 2015 Website/{{Vine}} {{meme|tic mutation}} "Why You Always Lying" by Nicholas Fraser.

* "Take Me to Church" by Music/{{Hozier}}: Todd could elaborate on why he made it an Honorable Mention for the Worst list in 2014, which was a contentious opinion to say the least. Since "Take Me to Church", the closest Hozier has been to another hit was when he appeared on a remix of Maren Morris's #18 hit "The Bones".
