yup! At the time Bryan Adams didn't do too well in the UK, only "Run To You" from the same album sold well enough to make the top 20...

most early U2 singles either charted too low or missed completely - quite how "I Will Follow" managed to miss the chart completely in 1980 is still a mystery to me. It even managed to chart in the US, albeit in 1984 (though it only reached #81).

 

if its like 1980, wont people not know who they are? thought they didnt get famous till something like 1987.

 

thats 7 years which is like two pop lifelines

1987 was the year they made it big, but their first top 20 song was in 1983. They didn't hit the top 10 until 1984 and then it was 1987 when they crossed over big time...

so i bet if you've got that record you want to put it in a safety depo box in switzlerland as it will be worth loads to eBayers

43 - Prince - Black Sweat - how could this sublime song miss the top 40? If it was by anyone else other than Prince it would have been top 20 guaranteed -_-

 

60 - Prince - Fury - ditto the above

 

41 - Har Mar Superstar - D.U.I - this was quite good, and only just missed out -_-

kt tunstall - another place to fall

 

I think that did make the top 40. Didn't it make number 38 or something silly like that?

euro music, I dont La Tortura was released in the UK
