What songs do you think should have gotten #1 this year? I was just reading the "flops" of 2009 thread, and saw so many great songs that could have done brilliantly with the right promo. So what songs do you believe could have topped the charts with the right promo?

Kid Cudi vs Crookers - Day n Nite should be number one. One of the best dance tracks of the year same as Duck Sauce - aNYway

Edited by SoManyOstriches

Looking at #2s alone, these deserved to be #1...

 

Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Taio's 3rd week, there was only a 2k gap, what a missed opportunity)

Kid Cudi vs. Crookers - Day 'N' Nite (GaGa blocked them on her 2nd and 3rd weeks with JD)

La Roux - In For The Kill (Calvin once, Tinchy thrice blocked them, this was evil... it should have gone #1 after Tinchy's 2nd :()

Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror (blocked by freaking CASCADA)

Mr Hudson ft. Kanye West - Supernova (JLS' 2nd week blocked it, with such a quick start on iTunes I really thought this would be #1 :()

Noisettes - Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go) (blocked twice by GaGa, 2nd and 3rd weeks of PF - such a massive iTunes lead but PF was still #1 with a big lead, what a scam)

Robbie Williams - Bodies (blocked by Alexandra's shit song)

 

There are obviously so many more, but those are the circumstances where a #2 peaking single really should have been #1 on that week.

I think its fair to say la Roux - IFTK is the biggest case of 'Should have been number 1' of 09.

Empire Stae Of Mind, man In the Mirror and Supernova should all have been number 1 too.

 

even though it only got to number 5 i think Ke$ha would have been an amazing number 1

 

 

Mariah - Obsessed

VV Brown- Shark In The Water

Bat For Lashes - Daniel

 

Barely made Top 40 so surely they can't be included....:???:
