 Zedd feat Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know ... Still listen to this daily... Again didn't even go top 10 Eva Simons - Silly Boy ... Not even top 40 |

Isn't this just a thread for listing all your favourite flops? I could literally name hundreds

I think by living in the US and following charts like these has made me think that songs that have peaked lower in the UK seem bigger in a yearly scale than they really were. I've seen "Talking Body" being mentioned and that's a GIANT example. I think "Love Me Harder", "Roses", "Same Old Love" and many more fit the bill as well.

QUOTE(timjimlee @ May 15 2016, 10:27 PM) It's an oldie but surely "Maniac" by Michael Sembello "should have charted higher" than number 43 ! For some reason I thought this got to number 2! |

If we're talking about songs that charted a lot lower than people expected, then you just have to look at 'Brown Eyed Girl' (#60) and 'Summer of 69' (#42)

Solange - "Losing You" - in my opinion it is far superior to almost anything her sister released up to that point. It was A-Listed on Radio 1 (if I remember correctly) and I think it got some belated attention during Glastonbury coverage on the BBC which saw it climb on iTunes but it just didn't do anything in the official charts. I know Solange is on an independent label but the song received huge critical acclaim.
Michael Jackson - "Thriller" - I know it was one of the later singles of the album campaign but for such an iconic song with an equally iconic video, a #10 peak just seems a bit odd on paper. |

Agree with Colm/Joe in that I could probably name a huge number of singles here, but nevertheless one that springs to mind is 'Think About It' by Melanie C. Entering and peaking at #95 made it the lowest charting single of her UK chart career up to that point (September 2011), which was highly unjustified for what I'd consider to be one of her strongest and most "commercial-sounding" songs.

Totally agree, especially "Thriller". Also, I loved Solanges' "Sandcastle Disco" too which reached #149 |

Kygo - Stole The Show
This had top ten written all over it! Why didn't it happen?? Kygo - Firestone Should have been number 1 instead of top 10 |

Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. Never even charted in the top 60 until 2012 - and even then only got to number 59

Bakermat's Teach Me deserved a lot higher than #22, very catchy.

I was also shocked at Girls Aloud - Something New not being a bigger hit. It came on shuffle the other day and I forgot how good a pop song it was.
The Saturdays - Notorious, at the time, I think could've been a much bigger hit for them had it not been released OA/OS which was a fairly new thing at the time. Ciara - Work, my jam of 2009, such a shame it didn't make the Top 40. |
