Canon-forming and pop

On today's poll thread Cis raises the spectre (which may be a benign spectre, and may not be spectral at all) of a 'pop canon'.
I have a couple of questions which may or may not relate to it:
Are there any very well-known (and ideally well-loved) pop songs that weren't especially popular when first released?
Are there any very well-known and well-loved pop songs that have never actually been hit singles?
