* What was MC Hammer's biggest hit? For those of you who think it was "U Can't Touch This," you're actually wrong. He had four other songs that reached a higher position that his signature song's #8. His highest peak came at the hands of "Pray," a now-obscure #2 hit that sampled Prince's "When Doves Cry." "U Can't Touch This" was his most popular song on radio, though, but its surprisingly low sales kept it from #1.

* Journey's classic "Don't Stop Believin'" never made it higher than #9 on its original run, but thanks to RevivalByCommercialization on such TV shows as Family Guy, The Sopranos, and Glee, it has become the best selling pre-2007 song in iTunes history! While none of the higher-peaking songs are obscure, it's probably the only song people born in the '90s and beyond can name by them.

Added DiffLines:
Every musician has a signature song, and usually, this is related to how popular the song was during its prime, as measured by charts such as the Billboard Hot 100. However, this is not always the case.
This is usually because either the rigged charts prevented the song from reaching a higher peak position, the song became more popular overtime, or the higher peaking hit has been largely forgotten.
!!Examples
*Corey Hart is best known for his 1984 #7 hit "Sunglasses at Night." However, about a year later, the ballad "Never Surrender" reached #3. Despite the chart peaks, the former song remains one of the best known songs of the 80's, while the latter remains in relative obscurity.
*Europe's first top 40 hit, "The Final Countdown" reached #8 on the Hot 100 in 1987, and is by far their best known song. "Carrie" actually reached #3 that fall, but due to being a ballad like "Never Surrender" it remains lost in the 80's.
*General Public are best remembered for "Tenderness," which hit #27 in 1985. Nine years later, "I'll Take You There" hit #22, but, being a cover of a Staple Singers song, was quickly forgotten afterwards. Today, they are usually dismissed as one-hit wonders.

*Sisqo's "Thong Song" reached #3 on the pop charts, but most people have forgotten about his number-one "Incomplete." This is probably because only "Thong Song" was a major hit on pop radio, while Incomplete relied on sales (with a "Thong Song" B-side" and R&B airplay to reach the peak.

*"Dust in the Wind" has always been a classic for Kansas and remains their only top 10 hit, but sometime in the past 10 years it has been displaced as their signature song by "Carry On Wayward Son" (which barely missed the top 10.)
*Boston's only #1 hit is "Amanda" which is a classic ballad but nowhere near as famous as "More Than A Feeling." Even "Don't Look Back" actually peaked higher than "More Than A Feeling."
*The Psychedelic Furs' only top 40 hit was "Heartbreak Beat" but the number 41 "Pretty in Pink" is probably more well known.
*Fort Minor, a side project of Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, had a huge hit in 2006 with "Where'd You Go." The follow-up, "Remember The Name" flopped, but it was used in a lot of movie trailers and is arguably better known than its predecessor today.
*The Romantics had a #4 hit in 1983 with "Talking In Your Sleep" and a #37 shortly afterwards with "One in a Million." Sounds like the typical discography of a one-hit wonder, right? Well, many people would agree with that, just not with "Talking In Your Sleep" being their big hit. Back in 1980, they had a #49 hit with a song called "What I Like About You" (yes, ''that'' "What I Like About You") and that song has completely overshadowed anything else they've done.
