Can you think of any singles which unjustly peaked at #2 and should've gone all the way?

 

For example, Coldplay's 'In My Place' is now seen by many as a modern classic, but it was held off the top spot by Darius' 'Colourblind'. Similarly, 'Speed Of Sound' was famously kept from #1 by the Crazy Frog :lol:

 

So what classic songs have been kept off #1 by comparative monstrosities? :lol: And with so many novelty and reality TV acts hitting the top, is #2 the new #1?

Robson and Jerome, R Kelly, Crazy frog, Akon, Simply Red, Puff Daddy and Darius have alot to answer for :angry:

It really is true that the best songs always get to #2. :lol:

 

Kylie's 'On A Night Like This' and Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 'Take Me Home' are two of my very favourite songs ever that got to #2, they really deserved #1.

Britney Spears and Madonna's "Me Against The Music" was kept off the top of the charts by Busted's "Crashed The Wedding" :rolleyes:
