BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ 7 Top 10 Hits That Did Not Reach Number 1

Posted by: pippa Jul 17 2018, 03:29 PM

As the forum is a little on the quiet side i created this poll to add some activity.
Leona burst onto our screens 12 years ago and had achieved 7 top 10 hits not including her Number 1 Hits.
Please vote for the best song, comments would be great too.

That was hard, I was so close to voting for Trouble as although at the time I was underwhelmed it really has grown on me to be one of my all time favourites.

Anyway I ended up plumping for One More Sleep, as she really came through with one of the best Christmas songs in years and when everyone thought only the classics would return each year she really delivered with it. It would have been incredible if that reached number 1.

I am tied between One More Sleep and Better In Time.
Both are wonderful but in different way.
I totally agree that One More Sleep is one of the best Christmas songs in recent years and is turning into a well deserved classic.

Better In Time

Posted by: pippa Jul 17 2018, 09:18 PM

After a listen to the songs i have voted for Better In Time, stunning ballad.
One More Sleep an extremely close second place.

Better in time but I love one more sleep aswell,these two are miles above the others for me and with run are my fave singles from Leona.

Posted by: diamondtooth Jul 20 2018, 07:52 AM

I really think Happy is underrated! I still listed to it a lot on Spotify.
One More Sleep would be my second choice.

It is a real battle between Better In Time and One More Sleep.

Posted by: Spiceboy Jul 22 2018, 07:31 PM

I really struggled between Better in Time and One more sleep. Both deserved to hit #1 both fantastic songs. I went for OMS in the end just because it's status as a Christmas track is up there with the classics for me!

Posted by: GTH Jul 22 2018, 10:33 PM

Better In Time resonates with me the most, followed by Collide.

Forgive Me would be the lowest by a country mile for me. It is the odd one out with regards to all the songs Leona has released as lead artist. The lyrics just don’t fit Leona, so never felt like there is any genuine conviction behind it. It is just Leona singing a song they thought would please the US market (where it didn’t even end up getting a single release :/).

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Jul 23 2018, 01:43 AM

Forgive is nice but it's also forgettable.

Posted by: pippa Jul 23 2018, 03:11 PM

Forgive Me, Happy and Trouble fall into the forgettable category for me.

Posted by: Karma Jul 23 2018, 03:48 PM

Better in Time is just such a classic, you can see people will keep coming back to that song for years to come. Miles ahead.

Happy is nice, and could of had that impact, but didnt in the end.

Trouble is also nice but BIT is just light years ahead for me and gutted it missed #1 by a few hundred copies in UK and just missed top 10 in US!

Posted by: pippa Jul 23 2018, 07:25 PM

Better In Time truly deserved to make the Top position and missing by so little is so disappointing.

Posted by: Karma Jul 24 2018, 09:30 AM

Poor Collide, that is an actual banger. I think without the legal drama it would of been so much bigger too, it was such a great sound for Leona. Amazing vocals with a great beat. Loved the video too.

Better in Time is just a certified Leona classic though.

Posted by: pippa Jul 24 2018, 02:20 PM

I did believe Collide would have become a much bigger hit than it was.
I also thought she may have possibly done an album of that style of music as i felt it suited her.

Posted by: pippa Jul 26 2018, 03:31 PM

Tied position for a winner with 2 wonderful songs.

Posted by: Hide&Seek Aug 22 2018, 12:32 AM

One More Sleep, a gem !

Posted by: pippa Aug 22 2018, 08:36 PM

It now appears One More Sleep is the crowned winner.
