Within an Inch of First Place – Top 10 Songs That Never Reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100

9. “Wake Me Up!,” Avicii, No. 4, Oct. 5, 2013

Avicii’s Wake Me Up was one of the most popular songs in most of the European countries, and it topped many of the charts in Europe. Even in the Billboard Top 100 Chart, it remained in the top 10 list for 21 weeks which is quite impressive for a dance/electronic number of this kind.

However, due to the presence of spectacular hits like Katy Perry’s Roar and Lorde’s Royals, Wake Me Up never made it to the top 3 in the Billboard Top 100 Chart. Written by Swedish musician Avicii with locals by soul singer Aloe Blacc and acoustic guitar by Mike Einziger, Wake Me Up remains one of the best songs that you can dance your heart out to.
