'Blinding Lights' and more hits the Grammys left in the dark By Mesfin Fekadu The Associated Press NEW YORK — The wattage in The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" wasn't strong enough to compete at the Grammys — but the song isn't the only electrifying No. 1 hit that the Recording Academy snubbed. The Weeknd joins an exclusive club of songs that were crowned biggest hit of the year by Billboard but fell short at the Grammy Awards. It's been 10 years since a song that dominated the year in music didn't garner a nomination at the Grammys, and that was "TiK ToK," the drunken party anthem and multi-platinum debut single from pop singer Kesha.
