I'd agree with Sit Down, but I'd say that their other best-known song is instead "Laid", being their biggest streamed song on Spotify (indeed, a few years ago it was the biggest streaming song released the year it came out on the service), and it's probably better known in America than "Sit Down" is.

You seem to have highlighted a glitch in Polyhex! If you do a search on all songs with Wow anywhere in the title, it selects the Post Malone “song”. If you restrict it to songs where Wow is the whole title, it isn’t included. Maybe there’s a rogue unprintable character in there.
