January 28, 201015 yr The pop whore in me wants to mention Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man and Shakira - Hips Don't Lie. Although I was majorly pissed at the time seeing as HDL had already had its turn :( thank god that underwhelming comeback single didn't dethrone the GREATEST #1 OF ALL TIME!
January 28, 201015 yr three stick out as particuarly haunting for me; N-Trance - Set You Free - stopped by Celine Dion's Think Twice Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone kept off No.1 for three consecutive weeks by a string of horrors from Ronan Keating, Westlife and Geri Halliwell :drama: Shakira - Whenever Wherever stopped by Will Young's Evergreen though I far prefer Rule The World and Runaway, I don't class Bleeding Love and Baby One More Time as poor songs, so I won't mention those...
January 28, 201015 yr I have a Digital Spy account but Digital Spy won't let me operate it. Try creating a new account. I know it seems a lot of unneeded bother but i couldn't acsess mine so i created a new one and it worked fine
January 28, 201015 yr I think it's only truly an injustice if the number 2 goes on to outsell the number 1.
January 28, 201015 yr Is it safe to say that Shakira's "Whenever wherever" was better than that Will Young record?
January 28, 201015 yr I think it's only truly an injustice if the number 2 goes on to outsell the number 1. that's what makes Better Off Alone's status as a #2 so much worse - all three of the songs that stopped it from topping the chart sold less in total :(
January 28, 201015 yr Ones that stand out as particular crimes to me: Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Take Me Home kept off by Five's 'Let's Dance' (I mean what the fuck?! :mellow:) Kylie Minogue - Love At First Sight kept off by that Elvis vs JXL thing (as above) Girls Aloud - No Good Advice beaten by R. Kelly's 'Ignition', also 'Jump' by Wasteoflife Dannii Minogue - I Begin To Wonder kept off by Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' (Brilliant song but it had already been at #1, that was Dannii's only chance gone :() Deee Lite's 'Groove Is In The Heart' and that Joker thing I'll add more as they come to mind. I like Let's Dance :) Ugh how could I forgot that dirge "Beautiful". Kept Dannii and DJ Sammy of the #1 spot, they would've been much better #1s imo
January 28, 201015 yr Better in Time by Leona was held off #1 by Duffy's Mercy. Though granted I do love that song...but that's the only one that really jumbs to mind :P
January 28, 201015 yr Better in Time is excellent. Mercy is just an average song from a below average singer. How anyone can listen to Duffy is beyond me.
January 28, 201015 yr You stole my thread AND every word from my post! :o http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1088443 LMAO. Busted. :lol: :lol:
January 28, 201015 yr Girls Aloud - No Good Advice Girls Aloud - Jump Girls Aloud - The Show Girls Aloud - Love Machine 'The Show' and 'Love Machine' especially deserved it! :( Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend Britney Spears - Piece Of Me Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry Leona Lewis - Better In Time That's all I can think of currently. :P
January 28, 201015 yr Ooh yeah definetly 'Piece Of Me', especially as it lost out to f***ing Basshunter!
January 28, 201015 yr I like Mercy but it had already been #1 and Better In Time was so close with only 302 copies separating them. :( Having said that, the fact it didn't get to #1 made the Forgive Me #5 more bearable. :P Edited January 28, 201015 yr by Rain
January 28, 201015 yr didn't Forgive Me come out about 3 months after it had premiered or something? I recall being sick to death of it by the time it finally got a UK release, really can't have helped her chances for the best possible peak :lol:
January 28, 201015 yr You stole my thread AND every word from my post! :o http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1088443 LMAO. LMFAO :lol:!
January 28, 201015 yr La Roux- In for the Kill. Atleast it was the best elling number 2 of last year, and overall it sold more than the majority of number 1's.
January 28, 201015 yr Coldplay - Speed Of Sound. MJ - Man In The Mirror. Deee-Litr - Grove Is In The Heart. All have already been mentioned, but they need reinforcing. Even though Crazy Ftog was a guilty pleasure of mine :lol: Also Noisettes should have got at least 1 week at #1 but it was blocked twice by GaGa's Poker Face...
January 28, 201015 yr Defo Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc being kept down by Akon's Lonely. I remember that, I was pretty annoyed. I like the Akon song though, so it isn't that bad. That's the only one I can think of really :lol:
