There will be a dimension of subjectivity to how everyone regards "overlooked" no matter what, but I suggest any of:
(1) Referencing how a song charted compared to the rest of a musician's catalog
https://www.musicvf.com/
(2) See if or where it ranks on an artist's Top 10 most listened songs on Spotify (presumably, it shouldn't rank there)
https://open.spotify.com/
(3) Total views on YouTube after searching the artist's channel/name, then organizing with the filter by total views
https://www.youtube.com/
I'll start with Stevie Wonder. I believe "Ribbon in the Sky" is his most overlooked song despite that it isn't obscure, and it was a hit, but it only peaked at #54 on the US Billboard, and #45 on the UK chart (he had 10x #1 hits, and 28x Top 10's). It's not one of his Top 10 most listened on Spotify.
