Probably my favorite of the "low" positions is #24, as that was the peak position of the following great, glorious horn rock classics (all of them hitting in 1971, coincidentally):
Get It On/Chase One Fine Morning/Lighthouse Questions 67 & 68/Chicago

Here are a few nominations from the Shadoe era of the 90s... not many, but these get pretty heavy airplay:
#11: either "What Is Love" by Haddaway or "Because The Night" by 10,000 Maniacs #12: "Cryin'" by Aerosmith #13: "Walking In Memphis" by Mark Cohn #14: either "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes or "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty #17: "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" by The Spin Doctors #18: "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt #20: "No Rain" by Bonnie Raitt #22: "Soul To Squeeze" by Red Hot Chili Peppers #25: either "Hey Jealousy" by The Gin Blossoms or "Come To My Window" by Melissa Etheridge #28: either "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode or "Learning To Fly" by Tom Petty #29: "Everybody Hurts" by REM #30: "She Talks To Angels" by The Black Crowes #34: "Creep" by Radiohead #38: "A Girl Like You" by The Smithereens
Amazing how few songs outside of the Top 10 from the 90s get any airplay today.

Agreed. Although the 90s are not in my wheelhouse, it does seem like the "same old song and dance" (apologies to Aerosmith) as far as the rock played from that era. If I may, I'd like to add... #39 Cumbersome - Sevenmarythree

A couple of more nominees from the 70s for most famous song at their peak position:
#12: "The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzy #20: "Tush" by ZZ Top
Easily rock station favorites... but they may not get quite the play that a "Take It Easy" or other #20s might get at other stations.

Shadoe #12 Hold on My Heart by Genesis No Son of Mine by Genesis I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty #14 Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty #21 Never a Time by Genesis #23 Jesus He Knows Me by Genesis Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty Hang in Long Enough by Phil Collins #24 Everyday by Phil Collins #25 Both Sides of the Story by Phil Collins #28 Learning to Fly by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers #33 Save Me by Fleetwood Mac Hmmm...sensing a theme here. A good theme but nevertheless a theme. Yeah I know, most of these songs from both replies are my own personal favorites as the OP also said "other reasons" and I'm not sure what kind of recurrent airplay they receive on a national basis, but for me either in the Los Angeles or Chicagoland area, not very many get played anymore! Forgot #29 All About Soul by Billy Joel #37 And So It Goes by Billy Joel

"Pick the most famous song to peak at a particular chart position on AT40...could be based on airplay, or other reasons."
That thread description statement makes selections rather subjective. I like it!
#40 Back When My Hair Was Short - Gunhill Road In The Mood - Henhouse Five Plus Two Wolf Creek Pass - C.W. McCall Resurrection Shuffle - Ashton, Garner & Dyke Spirit In The Night - Manfred Mann's Earth Band Teddy Bear - Red Sovine Good Timin' - Beach Boys Friends - Bette Midler Queen Of My Soul - AWB
