A run of consecutive losses by (say) the team the main character is on, or of consecutive wins by the team's rivals, or both, comes to an end. Exceptions are when Failure Is the Only Option, or your would-be streak breakers get diabolically unlucky...or stupid. In other words, if the opposition wins, it's by luck rather than skill. As this is a Victory and Defeat Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the protagonists break Slytherin House's seven-year winning streak in the House Cup. Dumbledore gives the Golden Trio enough last-minute points to put Gryffindor in joint first place, and then awards Neville "Why is it always me?" Longbottom another ten for being brave enough to stand up to his friends (the same ones who taught him to stand up to people in the first place) when he thought they were making trouble. | |

Tracy Lawrence had a #1 smash in 1991 with "Sticks and Stones", the first of 19 consecutive top 10 hits for him. But after some domestic dispute issues and an ensuing lawsuit, radio dropped him like a hot potato, blunting his 1997 single "The Coast Is Clear" at #26. While he did spordically return to the charts afterward, his momentum was gone. | |

In DEATH BATTLE!, this can be common over the franchises in the series. Highlights include: Donkey Kong winning against Knuckles marked the first time the Mario franchise won against the Sonic franchise. Sephiroth beating Vergil marked the first victory for Final Fantasy VII since Season 1. Ryu taking the win over Jin ended the five year long loss streak that the Street Fighter series had been suffering. Johnny Cage losing to Captain Falcon ended Mortal Kombat's 5-year winning streak. Red Ranger Jason Lee Scott's victory over Leonardo breaks not only the Rangers' six year losing streak, but also the Turtles franchise's winning streak as a whole, as well as Leo's own winning streak. "Danny Phantom VS American Dragon: Jake Long" had a twofer. In a meta sense, Danny's VA in the episode had played 4 characters who had lost, with Danny being his first role as the winner. As for Jake, he's the third in-house character owned by Disney, following Goliath and Scrooge McDuck, and is the first to lose. "Zuko VS Shoto Todoroki": Zuko is the third Avatar character, following Toph and Aang, as well as the fourth in-house Nickelodeon character, following Danny Phantom. His loss ended the winning streak for both. It also breaks the win streak between Western Animation vs. Anime characters for the former. Shadow's win over Ryuko Matoi not only ended his losing streak against both Vegeta and Mewtwo, but also ended the Sonic franchise's 3-episode losing streak. Reverse-Flash's victory over Goku Black not only ended Dragon Ball's six year long winning streak, but also ended the year long losing streak DC had been having (though also continues the series long win streak DC has over non-Marvel characters). "Akuma VS Shao Kahn" ends 2 losing streaks. Not only does Shao Kahn's victory end Mortal Kombat's losing streak since Johnny Cage VS Captain Falcon, but also ends the losing streak of voice actor Gianni Matragrano, who previously lost 5 times, with Shao Kahn being his first victory (although this episode continues Mortal Kombat's winning streak over Street Fighter). Jinx's victory over Harley Quinn provides what is quite possibly the biggest example in the series by finally ending DC's series long (i.e. over 10 years) win streak against non-Marvel characters. After Carol Danvers losing to Android 18 and Hulk losing to Broly, Thor vs Vegeta ends with the God of Thunder being the first Marvel character to defeat a Dragon Ball character. The Bonus episode of Excalibur vs Raiden not only makes the latter the first Konami owned character to lose since Bomberman in season one, but his loss denied the Metal Gear series a third victory (with Raiden previously defeating Wolverine and Solid Snake taking the first win over Sam Fisher). The fight between Xeno Trunks and Archie Silver plays with this. Their canon selves faced off against each other in both 1 Minute Melee and DBX, with Trunks winning in both instances. However, when their more powerful Alternate Selfs were pit against each other, it was Silver who stood victorious over Trunks, finally scoring a victory for the psychic hedgehog. Frieza vs Megatron ended a three-episode losing streak that started with the aforementioned Goku Black vs Reverse Flash, as well as the first character voiced by Tom Schalk to lose since his voicing the Kool-Aid Man two seasons prior. |

Gilmore Girls, "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?". Lorelei is desperate to break Kirk's winning streak (and her own streak of futility) at a dance marathon and almost does it (just like last year), but her partner / daughter Rory runs off the floor with 15 minutes left after breaking up with her boyfriend Dean (the real important event in this eppy), leaving Lorelai with yet another 23rd-hour loss as Kirk outdances the others to win his 5th in a row. | |

In Girls und Panzer, Black Forest Peak High School, the reigning champions of tankery, had its nine-year winning streak end when Miho Nishizumi, then vice-captain of the team, abandoned her tank to help save the crew of another. With the flag tank vulnerable, Pravda fired on it, winning the match. | |

Used in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, when Rosencrantz spends the first ten minutes of the play desperately trying to break a streak of turning up heads every single time he flips a coin. He can't. It's their first clue that reality is warping, and that they're stuck in something powerful that they might not be able to escape from by following any of the usual rules. | |

Ted Danson, despite starring on the incredibly popular sitcom Cheers, started to become known for consistently losing the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series race at the Primetime Emmys, to the point where his co-star Kirstie Alley made jokes about it at his expense when they presented together. He finally won for Cheers for the 8th season in 1990, on his 9th overall career nomination (8 for Cheers and 1 for Something About Amelia). | |

The Mighty Ducks: Gordon Bombay's first game as a court-ordered pee-wee hockey coach happens to be against The Juggernaut Opposing Sports Team Hawks, whose home arena displays the unbroken string of black-and-silver banners the team has for winning the Minnesota State Pee-Wee Hockey championships going back decades...except for that one single yellow-colored second-place finish banner for 1973, when Gordon Bombay was on that team and could have won the championship if the penalty shot he got at the end of regulation had gone a quarter of an inch to the side to go into the net. His old coach Jack Riley's still coaching the team twenty years later, and when they happen to meet before the game they reminisce a bit about the past — specifically, Riley expressing a wish that that one second-place banner be taken down. One movie and half a season later, Bombay breaks the Hawks' championship streak again by coaching the Ducks to victory in the final. | |

Inside Out ended the studio's #1 Openings streak as Jurassic World beat it out on its opening weekend, though Jurassic World exceeded even the most optimistic box office predictions and Inside Out managed to open with $90.4 million in the US and Canada, which is not only Pixar's best opening weekend for an original film by almost $20 million (beating out The Incredibles' $70.4 million opening weekend), but the biggest opening weekend ever for an original film, besting Avatar's $77 million debut. The film did go on to take the #1 spot in its third weekend, though. | |

Despite winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series 4 times in a row, Mad Men always had difficulty winning an Emmy for any its main cast members (whether they were lead, supporting, or guest stars). As time went on, it became especially notable about Jon Hamm, who was credited for helping to carry the show on his back and who would often show his range by jumping back and forth between Mad Men and appearances on comedy programs like Saturday Night Live or 30 Rock (occasionally earning Emmy nominations for the latter without ever winning either). Matthew Weiner would frequently talk about how surprised he was that Hamm would never be able to take home the prize, and the losses came in spite of Hamm winning the Golden Globe, TCA Award, and Critics Choice prize for his performance while the ensemble won the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama multiple times. It finally came to an end for the show's final season, when Jon Hamm won on his 8th nomination for Don Draper (and 16th career nomination). It was also the only acting win for Mad Men out of 37 nominations throughout its run. | |

In Yandere Simulator Raibaru Fumetsu, the former Martial Arts Club leader, had a perfect undefeated streak, with no one unable to defeat her, until her protege Budo Masuda surprisingly challenged-and defeated her. Raibaru is actually relieved by this, as she wanted to retire from martial arts to pursue other interests, but felt obligated to stay on as club leader due to her 'Indestructible Rival' reputation. She promptly passes the leadership on to Budo and leaves the club, soon befriending the first rival, Osana Najimi, making her a formidable obstacle for Yandere-chan to get around if she wants to eliminate Osana. | |

Medaka Box: Kurokami Medaka's specialty is winning. Beginning with her winning the student council president election with 98% of the vote, her absurd talent and drive lead to every subsequent conflict ending with her victory, and what "losses" she does get are either self-inflicted or by-products of a greater victory. She's been winning so long that she can't understand the people she wants desperately to get along with, to the point that when Ajimu Najimi's arc rolls around, the goal of the story winds up being to make her finally, legitimately lose at SOMETHING so she can start maturing as a person. This goal is met when, with no whims of fate allowed to interfere thanks to Zenkichi's "Devil Style" Skill, and Zenkichi himself reaching the student body along with the five council candidates, Medaka loses that election with only 2% of the vote. Despite her effort to take it gracefully, being defeated like that was such a shock to her system that she lost her reason for living (making strangers happy). But this allowed her to learn how to live without being given such a reason. Other way around for Kumagawa Misogi, the Minus who never wins. Nothing ever goes his way, and he paradoxically keeps trying to essentially win BY losing. Even after his "incomplete reform", he keeps on intentionally betting on the worst odds, assuming that all of his gambles will end in his perpetual defeat. In the endgame, he bets that Medaka will return from her trip to destroy the moon (long story) in time for the seniors' graduation ceremony, which of course indicates that he DOESN'T expect that to happen despite wanting it to. But then, right after his speech at that ceremony, Medaka bursts through the auditorium doors. Tearing up, Kumagawa, without his usual insincere speech patterns, states "At last, I "won"!" |

After 11 films, all certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, they released Cars 2, which is currently at 38% on the Tomato-meter. Also, all Pixar films released since the establishment of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2001 have been nominated for it, until Cars 2 (more followed, with Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Cars 3, and Lightyear). | |

Ever since Iron Man back in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has enjoyed entirely Fresh ratings on Rotten Tomatoes...until the Netflix show Iron Fist was released in 2017 to a whopping 16% on the site, putting an end to the MCU's 9-year streak of fresh ratings. However, the audience rating stands at 79%, continuing the fresh streak. It would be Inhumans that would break that area later in the year, having an audience rating of 51% alongside a critic rating of 8% - officially putting an end to the MCU's streak of fresh ratings. | |

A more personal version in Order of the Phoenix: Gryffindor has limped its way to the Quidditch Cup final despite Umbridge kicking Harry and the Weasley twins off the team and Ron's year-long Performance Anxiety issues. No one's feeling optimistic, so when Hagrid asks Harry and Hermione to meet him in the forest during the match, they do so. When they hear what sounds like the Slytherins' 'Weasley is our King' song on their way back, they assume Gryffindor lost. Then they notice that the actual lyrics have changed a bit, and see Ron being carried across the field by his teammates... | |

In the Littlest Pet Shop (2012) episode "Pitch Purrfect," Zoe loses an audition for the first time, and in singing, which is her forte no less. However, it's not because there was a better singer, but because Zoe is a dog and tried out for a cats-only audition. | |

After returning to WWE in late 2016, Curt Hawkins (best known as Zack Ryder's former tag team partner) was said in 2017 to be in the middle a 100+-match losing streak, which would end in 2019 at 269 matches, reuniting with Ryder to defeat The Revival for the Raw Tag Team Championship in the WrestleMania 35 pre-show. | |

For most of 2018, there was a streak of positively reviewed superhero movies like Black Panther (2018)note which went on to break the MCU's 10-year streak of Academy snubs by winning three Oscars, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Incredibles 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Aquaman (2018), all of which were rated fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. However, Venom (2018) received a rotten 29% score, making it the only critically panned superhero movie of the year. | |

Funky Winkerbean: During the gag-a-day era (pre-1992), the Westview High School football team's losing streak was legendary in Ohio, often having an absurd number of consecutive losses, virtually every one of them completely one-sided (and providing fodder to Coach Jock Stropp's pre- and post-game talks). The team would win on occassion, usually as the storyline dictated, but the game would quickly be retconned by the following fall (when most of the football-related strips appeared), or somehow the team would have to forfeit for a (typically comic-of-the-era) reason. Today, Westview is a generally competitive team that wins more than it loses. | |

The fight between Xeno Trunks and Archie Silver plays with this. Their canon selves faced off against each other in both 1 Minute Melee and DBX, with Trunks winning in both instances. However, when their more powerful Alternate Selfs were pit against each other, it was Silver who stood victorious over Trunks, finally scoring a victory for the psychic hedgehog. | |

Harry Potter: In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the protagonists break Slytherin House's seven-year winning streak in the House Cup. Dumbledore gives the Golden Trio enough last-minute points to put Gryffindor in joint first place, and then awards Neville "Why is it always me?" Longbottom another ten for being brave enough to stand up to his friends (the same ones who taught him to stand up to people in the first place) when he thought they were making trouble. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry fails to catch the Snitch and loses a game of Quidditch for the first time in the series. A more personal version in Order of the Phoenix: Gryffindor has limped its way to the Quidditch Cup final despite Umbridge kicking Harry and the Weasley twins off the team and Ron's year-long Performance Anxiety issues.

During the last five years, Hien dueled many opponents and he never lost, to the point of getting known as the "Invincible Swallow" (Hien is written as "Flying Swallow"). Deconstructed, as the series of victories made him jaded and cold. Iori manages to defeat him, snapping him out of his mindset, but he's then killed before anything comes out of it. | |

The Undertaker had made his appearance at WrestleMania twenty-seven times before his retirement. After about the tenth time, everyone started making a big deal about who would be the first to beat him. Brock Lesnar finally broke it at WrestleMania XXX (2014), leaving Taker's record at 21-1. He won his next two matches, however, but then lost to Roman Reigns before winning a Squash Match against John Cena. While he didn't appear at WrestleMania 35 (2019), he did appear the following year at WrestleMania 36, where he defeated AJ Styles in a cinematic Boneyard match. This would prove to be his final WrestleMania match, as he retired later that year, with a final record of 25-2. | |

Ever since the release of A New Hope back in 1977, Star Wars has made a name as a roaring box office success of a film series, with The Phantom Menace, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi all crossing the one billion mark at the box officenote Though Phantom Menace only reached ten digits after its 3D re-release in 2012. and The Force Awakens crossing the two billion mark, a feat shared only by Avatar, Titanic (1997), and Avengers: Infinity War. However, Solo came out exactly 41 years to the date (May 25), after A New Hope, and unfortunately flopped at the box office, becoming the first Star Wars film to ever lose money. It had a budget of $275 million and would've needed to have grossed $500 million to break even, and its final box office gross fell very short of that number at $390 million. | |

Usually the protagonist is trying to break the streak. In the case of a Boy Meets World episode, Cory is trying to sustain Mr. Feeny's streak at a geography competition (the resident egghead is uninterested since they're not giving out the usual prizes this year). In the end, Feeny's streak is broken, while the winner spazzes out upon finding out she's getting a different prize from the norm. However, Feeny decides to pin up Cory's A on a geography test where his previous wins had gone. | |

Downplayed in The Lion King (1994). Simba was beaten by his best friend Nala three times throughout the film. He got pinned by her easily twice when they were just cubs, even when he attempted to cheat the second time, and years later when they briefly fought seriously as adults he lost again, despite putting up a much better fight against her and even managing to startle her and briefly hold her down at the start of the fight. During their Falling-in-Love Montage though, the two begin to playfully wrestle together, until they end up accidentally tumbling down a hill together. When they reach the bottom, Simba ends up the "winner" by landing on top of Nala and finally pinning her, ending her winning streak against him. Though this was by complete accident, it is still the only time Simba has ever managed to beat Nala. Nala for her part acts as a Graceful Loser and rewards Simba for his win against her with a surprise lick on the cheek, and also noticeably becomes even more affectionate to him after this, staring up at him seductively as he lays on top of her. | |

On the flipside, the DC Extended Universe has suffered from a three-movie critical panning (with a hefty dose of Critical Dissonance) until Wonder Woman was released to critical acclaim. For comparison, the previously highest rated DCEU film was Man of Steel with a 55% critic rating in Rotten Tomatoes. Wonder Woman beats it at 92%. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright has broken the winning streaks of Miles Edgeworth, Manfred Von Karma and Franziska Von Karma, while his mentor Mia broke the winning streak of Winston Payne. (Godot lost in his first case) And depending on what ending you get in the last case of Justice for All you can end up breaking Phoenix's winning streak as well. Note that the good ending actually has Phoenix losing, because saving Maya and putting the guilty man behind bars is much more important than a perfect record. You can also subvert this, in that the good ending also allows you to save Maya and still get a "Not Guilty" verdict...at which point your guilty-as-sin client willingly pleads so and goes behind bars anyway, since the alternative was being marked for death by a world-famous assassin. |

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja: Norrisville High's Chess Team has defeated Flackville High's eleven times in a row. When they tried the twelfth time, Hannibal McFist replaced one of Flackville's players with a robot that broke that streak, making several Norrisville students depressed enough to be stanked by the Sorcerer. The students reverted back to normal when Howard Weinerman, who knows practically everything about chess except for the pieces' names, defeated the robot. | |

Sasaki Kojiro in Record of Ragnarok never won a single battle throughout his time alive and he was killed the only time he ever actually wanted to win. His losing streak finally ends when he defeats Poseidon, which also ends humanity's losing streak against the gods after Lü Bu and Adam were killed. | |

In The Fairly OddParents!, this is how the Bronze Kneecap became the Crimson Chin's Arch-Nemesis. He was once a jai alai player famous for a continuous streak of 3rd-place finishes, never quite being good enough to win. During a charity game, he was moments away from winning and finally breaking his streak when he tripped over the Crimson Chin, broke his kneecap, and came in 3rd once again. He vowed revenge on the Crimson Chin and has been fighting him as the Bronze Kneecap ever since (with equally little success). Also of note is that Bronze Kneecap only continues being a villain because, according to him, Crimson Chin never said he was sorry about being the cause of his loss. Also becomes a Chekhov's Gun later in the episode this story comes from when Timmy apologizes to a teacher who became a villain. | |

In Saki, Kazekoshi's long winning streak in the Nagano prefecturals of the national mahjong tournament was broken a year before the start of the story, when the newly formed Ryuumonbuchi team managed to win. Meanwhile, in Saki Achiga-hen, the protagonists break a 10-year winning streak by Bansei High School in the Nara prefecture, replicating their advisor Harue's feat from a decade ago. | |

Father Ted - where failure (to get off the island) is the only option - broke their losing streak...in such a fashion that Bishop Brennan was about to reassign them somewhere even worse. Therefore a success was required to maintain the status quo. They blackmailed the Bishop about his breaking his vows of celibacy. | |

In the Peanuts movie Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown, the title character, as he is leaving for France, tells Schroeder to take care of the baseball field, whereby Sally bluntly tells him that "the last time you went away, our team won three games in a row." The only time Charlie Brown's baseball team had a winning streak where Charlie Brown himself wasn't benched for some reason, it was because a bug was going around that made all the other teams too sick to play. Said streaks invariably ended when Charlie Brown returned to the game or the other teams recovered. There was also the time he had a two-game winning streak, but that time it was because both opposing teams couldn't make it, and thus forfeited. |

Theatre: From 1993's Mystère onward, all of Cirque du Soleil's shows enjoyed indefinite runs in one venue or another. This streak of successes ended in 2010 when Banana Shpeel, a Genre Throwback to Vaudeville, bombed in New York City and couldn't make a go of it as a tour — ushering in a gloomy few years in which several other shows (most of which premiered in 2008 or afterward) were also shut down. | |

Goldberg's 173-win streak (the longest in the history of pro wrestling at the time, though Asuka has since surpassed it) finally ended when he got tasered behind the Easily-Distracted Referee's back, courtesy of Scott Hall and opponent Kevin Nash and Nash's new booking superpowers. The losses he suffered before the streak storyline begun were retconned. | |

Dierks Bentley had his streaks broken twice. The two singles off his bluegrass-tinged 2010 New Sound Album Up on the Ridge (the title track and "Draw Me a Map") were his only two singles since 2003's "My Last Name" (second release from his debut album) not to reach Top 10. And again in 2013, "Bourbon in Kentucky", the lead single to his 2014 album Riser, failed so badly that it didn't even make Top 40, leading to the album getting pushed back. (However, he quickly got back on track, as the other three singles off the album all went to #1.) | |

On the topic of DC/Marvel movies and Rotten Tomatoes, 2017 saw a long streak of acclaimed and positively received superhero films after the mixed bag of 2016 (where exactly halfnote Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Suicide Squadgot a Rotten rating and halfnote Deadpool (2016), Captain America: Civil War, and Doctor Strange (2016)got a Fresh rating). The LEGO Batman Movie got a 90% Certified Fresh rating, Logan got a 93%, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 got an 83%, and Wonder Woman (2017), Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok all happened to end up with a 92%. And then along came Justice League, which got a rotten and comparatively paltry 40%, preventing 2017 from being a year where every superhero movie got a good rating. | |

The progression of super-lengthy consecutive No. 1 hit streaks on Billboard magazine's country chart dates back only 50 years. Prior to Buck Owens (when only A-sides are considered), lengthy streaks were a rarity. For instance, Eddy Arnold, who for years held the overall record for most No. 1 country songs at 28 (from 1968 until broken in 1982 by Conway Twitty), never had more than five No. 1 hits in a row. Other contemporary artists – including the Judds, Ronnie Milsap, Brad Paisley and others – never had more than 11 No. 1 hits in a row. So the progression is as follows: Owens, who first hit No. 1 in 1963 with "Act Naturally" (later covered by The Beatles). During the next four years, Owens released 14 more singles, all of whom had their A-sides — and among them one B-side (1964's "Together Again," the B-side to "My Heart Skips a Beat") — reach No. 1. The final song in the streak came in September 1967 with "Your Tender Loving Care." The following up to "...Care," "It Takes People Like You (To Make People Like Me," stopped at No. 2 in January 1968, held out by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard duet "For Loving You" and Merle Haggard "Sing Me Back Home." note Per the Joel Whitburn rule, all other B-side songs that had their own chart runs and any Christmas songs...any failing to reach No. 1 are disregarded in considering such chart-topping runs. Sonny James, who began a 16-song streak — one better than Owens — in May 1967 with "Need You." Every song released reached No. 1, with No. 16 in the streak coming in November 1971 with "Here Comes Honey Again." The song breaking the streak was "Only Love Can Break a Heart," which stopped at No. 2 in March 1972, held out by Tammy Wynette's "Bedtime Story" and Freddie Hart's "My Hang-Up Is You." Alabama blew past Sonny James in August 1985 when they had their 17th non-holiday/non B-side No. 1 hit "40 Hour Week (For a Livin')." The Fort Payne, Ala.-based band of cousins began their streak five years earlier with "Tennessee River," and their streak eventually reached 21 in April 1987 with "You've Got 'The Touch'." The follow-up single to "...Touch," "Tar Top," stopped at No. 7 in November 1987, ending the streak. That said, some critics contended that Alabama's streak never came close to matching James'. They point to the 1982 holiday single, "Christmas in Dixie," peaking at No. 35. However, Billboard magazine officially declared "40 Hour Week" having set a new standard, and James — also an Alabama native and supporter of the group — was there to celebrate with Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, Jeff Cook and Mark Herndon. Although he never topped Alabama, Portsmith, Ohio-native Earl Thomas Conley quietly established a lengthy streak of No. 1 hits of his own, scoring 16 in a rownote — discounting a pair of top 10 duets, including "All Tangled Up in Love" (1985, with Gus Hardin) and "Too Many Times" (1986, with Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters) —. The streak began in August 1983 with "Your Love's On the Line," and No. 16 in the streak came in June 1989 with "Love Out Loud." A song called "You Must Not Be Drinking Enough" was a flop in the fall of 1989, stopping at No. 26. Blake Shelton began his streak of 17 No. 1 country hits — starting with the all-encompassing Hot Country Songs chart, and extending to the Country Airplay component chart — in February 2010 with "Hillbilly Bone" (a duet with Trace Adkins). Shelton's streak continued to June 2016 when he peaked with "Came Here To Forget," his 17th No. 1 song. In the late summer of 2016, his wordplay song "She's Got a Way With Words" peaked at No. 7, ending the latest super streak. This is because some stations objected to the line "she put a big FU in my future" and thus refused to play the song. While all of these lengthy No. 1 streaks are impressive, it should be noted that Joel Whitburn and his Record Research group, as the official Billboard magazine statisticians, disregard certain single releases, such as Christmas releases, duets and separately-charted "B" sided records (unless they, too, reach No. 1). During each of their streaks, all of the above-named artists – Owens, James, Alabama, Conley and Shelton – each released holiday songs, some of which never charted and others barely reaching the top 40. |

Pokémon: The Series: Late in the Battle Frontier saga of Ruby and Sapphire, Ash only won against the final Frontier Brain, Brandon, during their third and last matchup; the previous two battles had Ash losing soundly. When she decided to pursue a contest career, Team Rocket's Jessie suffered a long losing streak throughout the entire Hoenn and Kanto contest run. When she actually won a Contest during Diamond and Pearl, Jessie was convinced James and Meowth had helped her cheat, but they eventually tell her they played no part. Jessie continues winning ribbons and even makes it to the semi-finals of Sinnoh's Grand Festival. Also from Diamond and Pearl, Dawn has had a losing streak in her Contest run (not even making it past the first round), breaking down and almost even made her consider changing careers. It took until the special Coordinator Tournament Arc, the Wallace Cup, for her to break her streak. In Pokémon the Series: XY, Ash and Greninja had a losing streak starting with a no contest via Power-Strain Blackout against Alain, followed by losses against Sawyer and finally Wulfric, causing Ash to have a Heroic BSoD. After getting out of that funk and mastering Greninja's Super Mode, Ash would then beat Wulfric in their official rematch. Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon had Ash FINALLY winning a Pokémon League after 7 generations of trying. Pokémon Journeys: The Series saw Alain lose a match after winning nearly all of his matches since his first appearance in the first Mega Evolution special. Perhaps the greatest example and just like in the games: Leon's long-lasting streak comes to an end thanks to Ash Ketchum here, with the battle being Ash's last greatest bout and the one that crowns him the World Champion. |

In the backstory of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, England's Gentle Chapman won the Gundam Fight an unprecedented three times in a row; the international tensions caused by England having control of the world government for twelve years running caused the next Fight to be put off for four years, and resulted in the other nations focusing on long-ranged combat (since Chapman was a Cold Sniper). But then in the 12th Fight, Master Asia defeated Chapman with martial arts, breaking England's streak and inspiring the other nations to focus on hand-to-hand combat again. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: After a consectutive string of losses in the titular games against Crystal Prep, Canterlot High doesn't lose that year's games. Granted they don't win either due to some magical shenanigans and the reveal that the Principal of Crystal Prep, Abacus Cinch, flat out tried to cheat when she found human Twilight had been unwittingly collecting magic. But they're more then happy to take a tie. Even better it's a fitting punishment for Principal Cinch who prided herself on having a spotless winning streak. | |

Eyeshield 21 has the protagonist team, the Deimon Devil Bats, break two streaks: The first being the nine-year reign of the Shinryuji Naga in the Kanto region who the Devil Bats eliminate in the first round of the tournament. The second, and biggest streak, is their upset win over the Teikoku Alexanders, the perennial Christmas Bowl champions ever since its inception. | |

Subverted in Only Fools and Horses. In one episode, Del constantly says to Rodney that the reason he keeps losing money to Boycie at poker is because he is on a "losing streak" which he feels is about to come to an end. It's actually because Boycie cheats. Del does end up winning a lot of money off of Boycie, but the reason he does so is by cheating better. | |

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune hands out special titles for defeating a player with a sufficiently long victory streak. Additionally, it hands out a title for losing in Story Mode after winning the first 40 stages without a single loss: "First Black Mark". | |

Cole Swindell's first seven singles all went to #1 or #2 on the country charts, then "Stay Downtown" stalled out at #28 to break the spell. | |
