Every year, the Billboard 100 chooses the best performing pop song from the previous year, based on units sold and chart performance.
Some of these songs never even hit No. 1, like "Hanging by a Moment," but it was on a Billboard chart for almost a full year, ubiquitous on the radio and in pop culture.
There are also a few one-hit wonders on the list, ranging from "Bad Day" of "American Idol" fame to "Somebody That I Used to Know," by Australian singer Gotye.
