Hello Lui, You may want to take a look at this popular site which monitors retractions - http://retractionwatch.com/
Following your statement I would even add - even if it is published in the top-tier journals e.g. Science, Nature, Cell which do experience higher rates of retraction. Whether it's because the editors in those journals are actual employees, because the articles get more visibility, or because they take more risk to be the first to publish articles they themselves see as 'higher-impact' is certainly a matter of debate.
