I should have thought of those two! Great examples, and polar opposites!

A Little Help From My Friends--Beatles
Nowhere Man--Beatles

Again, somewhat ironic when the same group that came up with "A Little Help From My Friends" and "All You Need Is Love" would (in their solo careers) dedicate songs like "How Do You Sleep?" back and forth to each other! Further ironic when considering that "How Do You Sleep?" was from Imagine, whose title song was all about peace and love!

Nothing But Heartaches - The Supremes

That title turned out to be prophetic as it broke the chain of consecutive #1s for the Supremes, and ended their streak at five in a row. Not only did it not reach #1, it didn't even make the top 10! It stalled out at #11, and was actually considered a "failure" for them! Although if they had gone that high at any time prior to "Where Did Our Love Go?" they probably would have been out celebrating in the streets! ;D
