Top 10 Best Billboard Year-End #1 Hit Songs of All Time

This is based on a series of lists that i have been making in the last couple of days where i rank the Year-End #1 hit songs between the 1950s through the 2000s (user Martinglez already made a list for the 2010s), i will rank them by how important and relevant they are to this day and according to my personal taste

WARNING: Do not post random hit songs that didn't even hit #1 for a weekend to post here, just songs that genuinely ranked at #1 at the Billboard's year end list

The Top Ten

1 Hey Jude - The Beatles

Year-End #1 Song of 1968: What else can I say about this song? Is the biggest song on the Beatles career and one of their most acclaimed and remembered songs, I'm not sure if I can say pridely that is their best song, but it's definitely one of my personal favorites, and the best song to ever hit #1 in a billboard year end list in my opinion

2 Call Me - Blondie

3 Every Breath You Take - The Police

4 Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson

It just occurred to me this was your 3rd best hit song of the 21st century. Every Breath You Take was your 6th best hit song of 1983. Wow was it really that good?

5 Rolling in the Deep - Adele

6 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

7 When Doves Cry - Prince & The Revolution

8 California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas

9 I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

10 Yeah! - Usher

The Contenders

11 Somebody that I Used to Know - Gotye

I might be a little biased but still I think most can agree this is one of the best year end number one hits. Also I would say it’s one of the most surprising it doesn’t really sound much like anything that was popular at the time.

12 Blinding Lights - The Weeknd

13 One Man Band - Old Dominion
