The worst-selling singles of 14 iconic musicians

• All 14 of these musicians are prolific in their own genres — they've broken records, won awards, and even made it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• However, every song in their discography can't be a hit.
• Beyoncé recorded "Spirit" for "The Lion King: The Gift" soundtrack album but it peaked at No. 98 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Madonna's 2014 single, "Living for Love" peaked at 108.

Not every song can be a No. 1 hit — it's impossible. That's why these 14 musicians, who are each legendary in their own right, have made this list. They've all released what Gen Z would call "flops."

Insider isn't making a quality judgment on these songs: For whatever reason, they just didn't climb the charts the way their other hits did. To create this list, we chose some qualifications: The musician in question has to be the lead artist, promotional singles do not qualify, and these are based solely on the Billboard Hot 100 and Bubbling Under chart.
