Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Numb/Encore

 

^^Has to be pretty much the ultimate non-top 10, biggest overall sales barring Jason Mraz who hung around at #30something forever and benefitted from a far higher sales period. "Numb/Encore" sold 300,000 when sales were at their absolute pit in 2004/5, far more than most #1s sold at the time.

Please tell me you're joking. :unsure:

 

Why would I joke about songs I like and should have done better.If rubbish like The Club Is Alive, Dirtee Disco, We No Speak Americano, Replay, Green Light and countless others have hit No 1 and have no merit those songs should have done better. :P

Very true but I personally wouldn't call them "criminal". :P

Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite - #30? THIRTY? after topping charts all over the rest of Europe - disgraceful

Nerina Pallot - Everybody's Gone To War - an absolute anthem - went to #13/14 I think :(

 

and then Battlefield/Hey Soul Sister/I'm Yours - I love all three and they've all outsold #1's in their respective years, making their non top ten status laughable...

Katy Perry - Thinking Of You It's disgraceful how this peaked at the unsatisfactory TWENTY SEVEN! The song has everything. Strong vocals, beautiful melody and stunning lyrics. "Like an apple after hanging from a tree picked the ripest one I still got the seed." :snif:

 

Linkin Park - New Divide This song just amazing and was a top ten hit besides in the UK. At least who have brought at a hint that rock music was coming back slowly into the music scene but I was woefully wrong there. ROCK WILL COME BACK IT'S JUST HAS TO :(

 

Livvi Franc - Automatik One of my favourite tracks of the year and it didn't even chart when released. So sad Livvi had so much to give to the world. :(

 

MGMT - Kids Best song of the last year yet it only peaks at #16 while a rip off version peaks at #12. :blink: Just disgusting. This band deserves for more praise for originality. :wub: FIFA!

 

 

 

 

 

Rant over ^_^

That's my favourite lyric too! :o You have phenomenal taste. ^_^

 

I also love "You're like an indian summer in the middle of winter/A hard candy with a surprise centre".

How much has Hey Soul Sister sold, after all it's weeks hanging around low top 40? :o

I love that lyric too. I don't get how Thinking Of You is so underrated it actually makes me upset :cry:

 

You have exquisite taste too my friend ^_^

I know. :( Plus Katy wrote the song all by herself so it just shows how talented she is with a pen. ^_^

 

Oh and I already know that. ^_^:P

I agree with some of the songs others have posted in this thread. Rock That Body, Satellite and Waka Waka all should've gone top 10 really.

How long have you got? :lol:

 

Elbow- One Day Like This- absolute anthem, yet never peaked higher than 35 despite a lengthly chart run

Sigur Ros- Hoppipolla- beautiful and inspiring, it did climb to 24, but should have been so much higher

Muse- Hysteria/Neutron Star Collision/Starlight/Undisclosed Desires/Resistance- as you can can see, Muse have a history of songs charting criminally low :cry:

Linkin Park- Numb- this was their best next to In The End, which thankfully did go top 10- yet just missed out and really should have got there

Johnny Cash- Hurt- Beautiful, inspiring cover and a bit like a tribute just before he died- and reached 32! :angry:

MGMT- both Kids and Time to Pretend- both amazing, witty and brilliant songs and as they were quite unknown, neither went very high

 

theres probably a lot more, but those stand out to me

 

 

 

Sugababes - Denial and Change
The two Sugababes singles i was looking for!

 

 

The latter was released straight into the shadow of About You Now and spent the majority of it's chart run lower than AYN

 

avril lavigne - hot.

diana vickers - the boy who murdered love.

marina and the diamonds - oh no!

kylie minogue - the one.

the ting tings - be the one.

little boots - new in town/earthquake.

kate nash - all singles post-'foundations'.

ke$ha - your love is my drug.

paramore - all singles.

This needs to be said:

 

'Shape' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Denial'/'Change'.

 

Noooooooo, 'Shape' is awful especially in comparison to those two.

Alanis Morissette - Underneath. 99? Really? CRIMINAL.

The Killers - Spaceman, A Dustland Fairytale and The World We Live In.

Dannii Minogue - Touch Me Like That

 

Kylie - Put yourself in my place

Kylie - Finer Feelings

Kylie - The One

Noooooooo, 'Shape' is awful especially in comparison to those two.

 

Don't make me come over there! :P

 

'Shape' is incredibly haunting...plus when I saw the video when I was like 9, I was waiting for the feathers to fall of them all... I know - a pervert at the mere age of 9. :(
