"The Sign" - Ace of Base
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for six weeks (1994)
Arista A&R VP Richard Sweret was on a Stockholm bus with Jonas Berggren of Ace of Base when the musician played him a new demo intended for the group's second album. Sweret loved "The Sign" and insisted the quartet record it immediately. He added it to the group's first album for its U.S. release and changed the CD title from "Happy Nation" to "The Sign."
59
"Apologize" - Timbaland feat. OneRepublic
Hot 100 Peak: No. 2 (2007)
While most people know this song is by OneRepublic, the artist credit is "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" because the hip-hop artist signed the group to his Mosley imprint and remixed "Apologize" for his album "Timbaland Presents Shock Value."
58
"Gold Digger" - Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for 10 weeks (2005)
West wrote the song from a female point of view for rapper Shawna. When she didn't record it, he rewrote it for himself, and enrolled Jamie Foxx as a featured artist. The result was West's first No. 1 as a lead artist.
57
"I'm a Believer" - The Monkees
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for seven weeks (1966)
Music publisher Don Kirshner asked his friend Jeff Barry to find an even bigger hit to follow "Last Train to Clarksville." Barry was working with Neil Diamond and thought his song "I'm a Believer" would do the trick. The single had an advance order of 1,051,280 copies.
56
"Tik Tok" - Ke$ha
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for nine weeks (2010)
With nine weeks on top, this became the longest-running No. 1 debut single for any lead artist since Ashanti led the list for 10 weeks with "Foolish" in 2002.
55
"Lady" - Kenny Rogers
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for six weeks (1980)
Charting pop, R&B and country, "Lady" was the ultimate crossover hit and the first production work for Lionel Richie outside of the Commodores, resulting in Richie signing with Rogers' manager, Ken Kragen, for his solo career.
54
"Stayin' Alive" - Bee Gees
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1978)
Robert Stigwood was expecting a song from the Bee Gees called "Saturday Night, Saturday Night," so he was not happy to hear a demo titled "Stayin' Alive." Heard in a 30-second trailer played in theaters one week prior to the release of "Saturday Night Fever," a demand for the song was created before the LP hit the street.
53
"Let Me Love You" - Mario
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for nine weeks (2005)
Kameron Houff, who wrote the song with Scott Storch and a then-unknown Ne-Yo, remembers when their tune hit the top of the Hot 100. "Every week, my wife would look online and come into the bedroom and say, ‘Baby, it's No. 1.' It was like ‘Groundhog Day.' It was the greatest nine weeks of my life waking up and hearing her tell me every week it's still No. 1."
52
"Call Me" - Blondie
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for six weeks (1980)
Giorgio Moroder composed the music for the film "American Gigolo" and wanted Stevie Nicks to sing the title song. When she turned him down, Moroder asked Debbie Harry of Blondie to write the lyrics and record the movie's theme. "Call Me" was Billboard's No. 1 single of 1980.
51
"Boom Boom Pow" - The Black Eyed Peas
Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for 12 weeks (2009)
will.i.am told Billboard that this song was, "made for underground clubs. Like, if I would have thought it was going to be a radio song, I would have made it different." Radio loved "Boom Boom Pow" just the way it was and the single became the Peas' first No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Just Dance and Poker Face were both higher in the year-end chart than Boom Boom Pow. Surely those two must have made the list or else

No, Boom Boom Pow was number one on the Year End. I Gotta Feeling was #4
And Year Ends aren't based on the same methodology. In terms of chart runs, Just Dance and Poker Face didn't do nearly as well as BBP or IGF.

Mess @ two near 7 million selling songs not making it though

Well, if they based it off of sales, then We Belong Together wouldn't be in the top ten like it was in 2008.
What matters is chart run. JD and PF charted for a good while (49 and 40 weeks respectively), buut both spent too much time in the lower half of the chart. They weren't instant like We Found Love, which spent its entire run in the Top 50.

Rolling in the Deep is going to end up high on this list.
Someone Like You and Set Fire to the Rain should be in too.
