In case you're searching for it in the playlist, the single came out in 2022.

(that middle bit being where not even songs like 'Into You' and 'Green Light' can go top 10, let alone anything off Lemonade)

I'm sure I'll have plenty of big hits from the earliest third ("the Rihanna years") and 2018-19.
The middle bit - from roughly Beyonce S/T to Pop 2 - not so much.
(btw the default answer for #TheN0ughtie5 is probably Milkshake - 4 weeks - and there are so many 1st-week only peaks)

Oh, and Bad Guy but that was somehow only a 1-week (first week) job.

The bottom three were all stuck behind 'One Dance', as I'm sure you know or could guess :)

I suspect DSN would end up being my choice, though Love the Way You Lie spent 4 weeks at no.2 behind 4 different songs in 2010 and would be a contender.
The only other good 10s no.2s that spring straight to mind are Shake It Off & Rolling In The Deep, but I doubt either managed 3wks.

I like Boy's A Liar, though not as much as the best Fancy That stuff.
Between that and the last two (reverse order) it's very thin gruel apart from the obvious jewel of Don't Start Now. Anywhere is pretty good though, don't know the LM one.

That would rule out my first choice from the 10s (Ariana: 2 weeks)

Mind has now wandered to contenders in #TheTenx5 and #TheN0ughtie5, and whether "stuck at no.2" is meant to imply more than one week.
(even so, can we please rule out Moves Like Jagger...?)

*Finally* off the bottom of the scoreboard - this was the only song with 2 HMs and no other picks.

No harm done! It's for your benefit, so you don't think you're behind or think you have an extra song to pick.

The guidelines make it pretty clear that your approach is far preferable to being "indier-than-thou" :)
