Tbh I think the most 'undeserving' hits are the ones that are clearly bought in bulk for one reason or another and left on the shelf (or equivalent)... not bought for its musical merit

QUOTE(ML Hammer95 @ Apr 30 2018, 09:55 PM)  A more thought provoking question is what Top 10s are/will be forgotten since OA/OS and streaming became widespread? Think 'River' is definitely one. the ones propped up by Spotify payola most likely, i.e. Maggie Lindemann 'Pretty Girl', Starley 'Call On Me', Martin Jensen 'Solo Dance', NF 'Let You Down'. Also from last year the Ed Sheeran and Drake album tracks, Eminem 'Walk On Water' (if that isn't already forgotten!), Louis Tomlinson 'Back To You', David Guetta '2U', Justin Bieber 'Friends', and the charity/X-Factor ones. |

Mclean - My Name is definitely the best shout so far.
Also perhaps Tchami - Promesses, completely forgot that actually went top 10! |

QUOTE(ubɹǝɯbƆ @ Apr 30 2018, 10:31 PM) I think these will be remembered! Only vaguely, I think. A lot of passive streams for those songs would have happened. Won't be forgotten in the same way as fluke top tens from the early 2010s (McLean etc) of course but nothing but the charity / campaign singles will be quite that forgotten. |

Tbh I remember 'Let Go For Tonight' quite well but I actually completely forgot it charted as high as the top 10. 'Youth' should have been the one to smash for her x
'Outlines' is a song that I only remember existing because of the last time I saw it in a list of top 10s and thought 'wtf I completely forgot this song existed', that has to be the ultimate forgotten top 10 hit of recent years for me at least. Birdy's 'Wings' and James Bay's 'Let It Go' only ever made the top 10 because of the 5 day week with no Spotify included so I guess they are 'undeserving' top 10 hits, even though the latter was obviously a gigantic hit (and 'Wings' is still pretty well-known too). |

'Outlines' is a massive bop and pretty well remembered for me, but then again I've got it on a few Spotify playlists. Same with 'Control', although I believe R1 give it a spin here and there which probably helps.
QUOTE(JosephAvery @ Apr 30 2018, 09:48 PM) From the same week: Flo Rida - How I Feel  This has been been the most apt example for me. I still barely remember it after listening to it, yet recall the release week rather well because of Pixie and Kylie. Probably for the best because it's bloody dreadful. '(I'm a Freak' from that same week's a good example too, and even the #1 ('Tsunami') is kind of forgettable. |

I wouldn't say 'Hot' is particularly forgotten, surely if that is then pretty much every top 10 from that era is too?

I'd say that Ready Or Not by Bridgit Mendler & Billionaire by Travie McCoy are not played or talk about much these days.

Those are two songs I actually hear on radio and talked about a lot more than I'd expected them to be tbh!  (Though I doubt anyone remembers Bridgit as an artist though  )Yeah I agree with about half the ones mentioned so far, outlines is probs the one that jumps out the most as I don't even have any recollection of the song title |

Most of Ed and Drake’s album songs last year were undeserving as they were only propelled so high thanks to people putting the album on repeat as opposed to people actually enjoying them as distinct songs.

There’s a lot of forgotten top 10s from 2010-2013, recent ones include walk on water, and also some earlier ones are outlines, promesses, you got it all (Union J) (most Union J songs), John Newman - Cheating, The Saturdays (cant remember what it’s called debuted same week as cheating), the wanteds later singles, Lawson’s singles, GRL - wild wild love (how many remember this?), avicii, leona Lewis - collide, Leona Lewis & childish gambino single, can’t stop playing (makes me high), don’t look down by usher, nasty pixie Lott.... and many more

I've hardly heard those two songs in recent years. I agree about Outlines being largely forgotten but it was a tune back then and listening to it now it still remains a tune for me. Candy & Like U Like by Aggro Santos definitely are two top 10 hits that don't get referenced much now. Like U Like in particular which I think got top 10 mainly because of Kimberley from Girls Aloud and because he appeared on I'm A Celebrity around the time of release. |

Is it sad that I didn’t remember Barking until seeing this thread
Also was 5SOS - Amnesia a top 10 in the UK? |

I remember some of the others as well by the titles but can't remember what they sound like. And Alex Day with his 50 versions on iTunes haha. Sad that I can't remember the Wretch 32 song because I love his music (and especially considering I remember the PARADE song of all things...). I think I might know Blackout but I'm not 100% sure. I was actually doing work experience for Andreya Triana's record label (Ninja Tunes) when Breach - Everything You Never Had was out! I had to go around the city putting posters up everywhere lol. I still have one of them in fact! I was pretty chuffed when it went top 10, although I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with me. Also, I think it's a great song, but I will admit it was a surprise top 10. Jack was a MUCH bigger song, but Everything You Never Had is a lot more radio friendly for sure. I saw a while ago that Andreya Triana had one of her own songs playlisted on Radio 2, so she had some more success after this song. This post has been edited by Eric_Blob: 1st May 2018, 06:45 AM |
