Saturdays - Work I disagree on. It did manage 90k, which surely is pretty respectable for a song that missed the top 20 and was the fifth single from an album that sold in good numbers.

 

Shark In the Water. Radio 1 are 100% to blame for that imo, it was even top 20 on I-Tunes at one point.

 

"Just Can't Get Enough" wasn't on the original version of the album (such as the copy I've got, which was a present last Christmas), so in a way, "Work" is only the 4th single from the [original] album. It all depends on which version you have, I guess.

 

But to be honest, it was there 5th single overall, and I'd say it's one of the weaker songs on the albums, not what I'd have picked.

 

"Shark In The Water" is my favourite song of 2009, don't know why they didn't play-list it.

ALL of these criminally ignored due to radio stations being snobbish playing the spawn of Simon Cowell, all these stupid rappers like Kayne West and Jay-Z and with some acts hyping their biggest hits instead of the better songs due to the thick public.

In addition to many of the songs that have been mentioned before:

 

T.I. ft. Mary J. Blige - Remember Me

 

When I first heard it, and saw the video, I thought it'd be huge. It peaked at #34. I know he was in jail at the time and the song was basically saying "don't forget me while I'm locked up", but I thought it'd be playlisted on Radio 1 and go top 10 nonetheless.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

 

I'm not saying it didn't criminally flop (which it did) but this failed to reach the top 100 on initial release, but last week it debuted at #98... I cannot figure out what could have possibly propelled it into the chart, or indeed why it didn't chart initially...

i don't know if somebody already mentioned but Empire of the Sun - Wlaking on a Dream was absolutely undeserved flop after decent succes of previous single

These deserved loads more:

 

ARTIST | SONG | PEAK

The Veronicas - 4ever (17?)

Ashley Tisdale - It's Alright, It's OK (100+)

Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad (Top 20)

Jonas Brothers - Paranoid (52)

Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me (30)

 

:(

 

It's ashame The Saturdays - Work did so bad (in terms of peak position) i loved that song!

I don't think that "Red" was a flop. Did you mean "Impossible"?

Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me (30)

 

If this hasn't already been said, I'd also like to point out that the only reason it peaked as high as #30 is because of the whole Kanye West VMAs thing.

It was being used on a Channel 4 advert, to advertise Hollyoaks.

Yeh, I know that :kink:.

Should've got Top 10 :(.

Aha, all is clear now.

"Love Story" got to #2, so I have no idea why Radio 1 haven't play-listed her since then. I love Taylor Swift :wub:

Yes, sorry

Mikas Rain - Although Mika on the whole has flopped this year. It's a shame :cry:

 

The Killers 'Dustland Fairytale'. One of my absolute favourite songs of the year and deserved so much better, although they wern't actively promoting it so i'm not too fussed. At least it's not because nobody likes them :lol:

Daughtry's brilliant original of What About Now only briefly charting while the rubbish Westlife version stayed on the charts.

 

Also

Little Boots - Earthquake

Owl City - Fireflies

Scooter - Je T'adore Hardcore

Scooter's brilliant new album Under The Radar Over The Top which is the follow-up album to their #1 Jumping All Over The World

 

Also

Owl City - Fireflies

 

This isn't out until 22nd Feb. Did you mean Umbrella Beach?
