Close but no cigar: in Steve Miller's Swingtown there is always an open hi-hat on the & of 4, with the only snare hit in the measure on 4.
I would venture to say the *most common* place for an open hi-hat is on the & of 4, but it's usually a grace note for a bass drum.
There's got to be more examples where & of 4 is followed by *nothing* ...
