7. Adele, "Someone Like You," 3,750,000. In September, this tearjerker became the first recording that consists of just piano and vocal to reach #1 in the 53-year history of the Hot 100. The song spent five weeks at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. It was the first song to spend five or more weeks at #1 in both countries since Katy Perry's 2008 smash "I Kissed A Girl."
