Britney's 'My Prerogative' is a totally awful mess IMO. And it was a #3. :P

 

 

:lol: It's a song I like to dance to when I'm alone XD

kylie has had many number 2's but her better the devil you know should have gone all the way,its still known to this day and its around 15 years old

 

bon jovi always should have gone all the way and likewise shakira's whenever whereever

I agree, Kylie's No.2's were robbed. Lol.

 

And about Britney's "Prerogative", mess or not it was denied from the top spot by the awful "Just Lose It" by Eminem :puke:

Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairy Tale Of New York!!!

Kelis - Trick Me

Kylie - I Believe In You

 

Cant think of any more right now

Edited by Timpo06

ya kylie has been robbed a few times from number 1,i belive in you would easily have been number 1 only it was up against band aid 20
mariah careys all iwant for christmas is another one,and should have definitly been the christmas number 1,its the only decent christmas song that will stand the test of time that has been made in recent enough years

In terms of actual popularity, rather than my personal choices, these...

 

The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York

Ultravox - Vienna

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Madonna - Ray Of Light

M People - Moving On Up

Shakira - Whenever Wherever

Pink - Get The Party Started

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This

Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Kelis - Milkshake

 

 

There are probably HUNDREDS though...

Natalie Imbruglia deserved No.1 with both "Torn" and "Big Mistake", superb tunes!

 

Talking about Christmas songs, I entirely agree about Mariah Carey and also think Wham!'s "Last Christmas": hugely selling single and amazing pop song but only managed No.2.

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Annie Lennox - No More I Love Yous

Let Loose - Crazy For You

Shakira - Whenever Wherever

Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Chumbawumba - Tubtumping (WILL SMITH WAS A LOT WORSE)

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams...

 

'Torn' and Let Loose especially! My favourite #2s ever.

Brandy + Monica - The Boy Is Mine.

It was denied from the top spot by Just Lose It AND Destiny's Child at number 2 with Lose My Breath, IIRC. As a (sort of) Britney fan, I do have to say that those two songs were better. But still :arrr: Car Wash by Xtina deserved higher than 4!

Good post finally with a lot of sensible choices! I was going to give up on this thread after wading through a million "Britney should have got to No.1 with all her songs but was held off by X and X and X and X......" moans.

Probably should add to list:

 

Bad Day - Daniel Powter

 

Shakira's Whenever Wherever was unlikely to get to No.1 as it was up against Will Young's Evergreen and we know how many that sold. :dance:

 

However he was pipped at the post with You and I/Don't Let Me Down by Christina Aguilera's Dirrty (which I personally loathe - but not for beating Will's single).

 

 

Songs that should morally have been #1:

Perez Prado - Guaglione (think how many records THAT would've broken!)

Pulp - Common People

U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Oasis - Wonderwall

Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now

Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

S Club 7 - Two In A Million / You're My Number One

Artful Dodger ft Craig David - Re-Rewind

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400

Girls Aloud - Jump

 

Song that should technically have been joint #1:

Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart

 

But the song that was (quite literally) criminally robbed of #1:

S Club - Say Goodbye / Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You
