'Green light' by Roll deep and their other song which sounded exactly the same.

 

"Good Times" funny that was #1 the week that shower of shit were elected.....if only people knew what they were really like.

 

I think it was "chav power" that had a part to play with their #1s

Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Disco

DJ Pied Piper - Do You Really Like It (was massive at the time, but haven't heard it in ages)

Gary Barlow - Love Won't Wait

Michael jackson. BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR

 

One of his weakest singles but went to number 1.

I love it, one of his best and most underated, in my eyes!

I love the Roll Deep ones but definitely think they're mainly forgotten now.

 

From the 2000s:

 

A good handful of Westlife, Busted and McFly #1s that only went there briefly because of their loon fans.

Manic Street Preachers - The Masses Against The Classes (doubt many could hum that one)

Black Legend - You See The Trouble With Me (brilliant, but you never hear it)

All Saints - Black Coffee (never mentioned/played when it comes to AS nostalgia)

Bob The Builder - Mambo No. 5 (astonished it ever made it especially only 2 years after the original)

Gareth Gates - Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake) (bet 95% of people could only name "Unchained Melody" or "Spirit In The Sky")

David Sneddon - Stop Living The Lie (most people would only associate Lemar with Fame Academy)

Daniel Bedingfield - Never Gonna Leave Your Side (it was "IYNTO" pt. II anyway)

Sam & Mark - With A Little Help From My Friends/Measure Of A Man (terrible and very flash-in-the-pan)

Nelly - My Place/Flap Ya Wings AND Ja Rule ft. Ashanti & R. Kelly - Wonderful (god 2004 WAS an awful year!)

U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (great song but I had completely forgot if even got near #1)

Nizlopi - The JCB Song (again, could anyone even hum this now)

Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua - What A Wonderful World (zzzzzzzzz)

Mint Royale - Singin' In The Rain (all down to BGT, probably stayed in public conscious for not long after)

Kid Rock - All Summer Long (has anybody ever heard this since summer 2008?!)

Vanessa Jenkins & Bryn West ft. Sir Tom Jones & Robin Gibb - (Barry) Islands In The Stream (one joke too far, just dire)

Peter Kay's Animated Allstar Band - The Official BBC Children In Need Medley (cute for about a week)

Hope For Haiti - Everybody Hurts (I could barely name 5 people who were on this)

Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Disco (nobody will ever remember him for this one)

Shout For England ft. Dizzee Rascal & James Cordon - Shout (YAY ITZ DA WORLD CUP... OH FFS WE'RE OUT *drops 25 places*)

JLS - The Club Is Alive (came from nowhere and got left firmly in 2010)

 

Give it a few years...

 

Nero - Promises

Wretch 32 ft. Josh Kumra - Don't Go

Cover Drive - Twilight

Jeez- quite a few- i'd say Boyzone's "All That I Need" and Ne-Yo's "So Sick" are probably forgotten by the general public, as is Ciara's "Goodies".

Nizlopi - The JCB Song (again, could anyone even hum this now)

 

oh I could easily sing this back to you! well the chorus anyway :lol: I don't think thats forgotten, I agree with the rest of your list though

"Stomp" was quite a random song for Steps to top the chart, especially since they only have other (and far more remembered) #1.

 

Such a shame that they didn't lead with It's The Way You Make Me Feel, would have been a FAR more deserving #1 and then Stomp could have slipped in at #3 in January as the second single and let Fragma peak at #2 with Everytime You Need Me!

It did, another one from 2009 is Oopsy Daisy by Chipmunk, what a rife year for non-number 1s, we've come up with 4 more or less right away :lol:

Really? I don't think I'd class 'Oopsy Daisy' in this category, personally. I can see why people would think 'Never leave You' as 'Number 1' and even his non-number 1 'Take Me Back' are far more memorable. But I still hear a few people quote Chipmunk now and again.

 

Nizlopi 'The JCB Song'? Really? I sadly agree with Nelly 'My Place' though. :( Such an underrated song.

 

Oh and 'Good Times' and 'Green Light' are still pretty much doing the rounds in my circle of friends. :wub:

'Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)' is the Gareth Gates #1 that I remember best!

 

'JCB Song' is far from forgotten for me at least.

 

I still hear 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' quite a lot.

Edited April 4, 201213 yr by M.I.É.

I think Evacuate the Dancefloor by Cascada and Bulletproof by La Roux are the two most forgotten #1s in recent years (although there's probably some more, but I've forgotten about them :lol:).

Going further back....I doubt many people remember this from 1982:

 

 

I've never even heard of this song. I doubt many people on here were even in existence when this came out.

Dirtee Disco's definitely one of the most unmemorable of recent years. I don't think I can recall ever hearing it, even at the time!

 

I wouldn't say Bulletproof's been forgotten...

I love "The Hindu Times"! In my Top 3 songs of theirs, but then again I'm not really a fan.

 

I remember this wonder VIVIDLY but go outside music fanatics and I think we have a bit of a HUH? moment...

 

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned '3 Of A Kind - Baby Cakes' - or perhaps that's because it's *so* unmemorable that everyone has forgotten it? :lol:

Are you joking? I understand not everybody likes that song, but I'd say it's one of the more memorable ones (partly for that reason). :lol:

 

Another one is Don't Hold Your Breath by Nicole Scherzinger. It's only a year ago aswell. :lol:

I think we have a future "unmemorable" Number 1 sitting at the top right now in Chris Brown.

Ok picked a random year - 2010

 

Songs I can't even hum...

 

Helping Haiti : Everybody Hurts (I can hum the REM version but can't even remember a cover being number 1)

Jason Derulu : In My Head (?)

Scouting For Girls : This Ain't A Love Song

David Guetta : Gettin Over You

Roll Deep : Green Light

 

 

Ciara - Goodies

Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers

 

Both good songs. But totally fogettable that they were once #1.

Jason Derulo's 'Don't Wanna Go Home' from as recently as last June I still can't believe was number 1 :blink: Similar with Ke$ha's 'We R Who We R'...in a few years if you asked me what their number 1 hits were, I'd probably name 'Ridin' Solo' and 'Tik Tok' over those!
