What's your forgotten top 40 singles that have made the singles chart?

 

The following from 2009 were BIIIIIIIIIIG FAVES of mine:

 

Carolina Liar - Show Me What I'm Looking For #31. GORGEOUS song and lyrics. Should have been huge.

 

 

The Yeah You's - 15 Minutes - #36.

 

 

 

I remember The Yeah You's. They had this song, which I was sure was going top 40, because I heard it so many places, Galaxy FM, Radio 2, BRMB, etc, but it didn't make it.

 

 

There's probably a lot of top 40 hits that I've forgotten, but I can't remember any of them atm.

I think it made 80 something. Shame as it was a great song. Guess, it wasn't enough to capture their imagination. I did have their album, probably lost it whilst moving twice or it's locked away in my cupboard.

 

You a Midlander? I'm from Brum, lived in Tipton now based in Weston-super-mare.

I presume this is for songs that were actually forgotten, not ones released back in the 60s and 70s that people just don't remember because they didn't even know them? :P

I remember that follow-up to 15 Minutes. It was Terry Wogan's Record Of The Week at one point. :lol:

 

It wasn't as good as 15 Minutes though. :wub:

Yeah. I live in Birmingham. I guess you got that from the radio stations I listed. :lol:

 

I like that song too, that why I still remember it. It's so happy.

For me, there's probably a one or two in the current top 40 that I wouldn't recognize if I heard them. I might look back through some old charts and see what I can remember.

This is ones you like/remember even if you hated them, but don't get played on radio - can be any decade but modern ones will grab the attention.

Yup :D Shame BRMB and Galaxy declined when the name changes came in. I stopped listening once I moved to Tipton, switched to Absolute 00s through my phone.

 

The username gives it away for me....one of the few things I miss in Brum ;)

 

It's a positive song, and a nice video.

Okay. :D

 

Agnes' I Need You Now is one of my faves:

 

 

Agnes was such a one-hit wonder! :cry: I loved Release Me and expected big things for her follow-up which I found really catchy too, but instead it scraped a week at #40. :( I loved On and On too which missed the Top 75, but thankfully, that was a hit in some other countries. Come back to our charts, Agnes!

Yeah, BRMB was a great station, as was Galaxy. They've both become soooo repetitive in the past few years though. :( Before I liked listening to them, because you'd often hear a song you'd never heard before, or hadn't heard in ages (like Getting Up With You), but not anymore. :(

 

I remember Need You Now by Agnes actually. And there's the Cahill remix which sampled Clocks/When Love Takes Over.

"I Need You Now" should have been a huge hit. Poor Agnes. I prefered the UK remix to "On and On" to the original arrangement

 

 

The former's video isn't even on her VEVO. :(

I was expecting you to! :D I've heard quite a few remixes of Release Me/I Need You Know/On and On, but none compared to the originals and tbh, they didn't need remixing anyway.

I think LMFAO did a remix of Release Me. It sounded completely different to the original though! :lol:

It's the power of Bauer/Orion. Repeat, repeat, repeat. No wonder the chart is in a bad state. I only know of three stations here which are Breeze which is very Heart FM esque though you do get a 90s hit you've not heard for a while on there (I'll publish it very soon :)), Heart and Kiss.

 

 

 

This song inspired me, I wouldn't say that about many songs either.

I don't listen to the local radio stations as much as I used to, but the ones I remember getting were Radio 2, Radio 1, BRMB/Mercia/Beacon/Free, Heart, Galaxy/Capital, Touch, Smooth, Kerrang!

 

I wish we got Choice FM in Birmingham. It's owned by Global too, but it's not quite as repetitive as Capital, and you hear lots of non-chart stuff on there. And they don't play The Wanted, Lawson, etc. either (but they do play Cover Drive).

 

 

 

 

 

I remember thinking Pass At Me would be a big hit at one point, L.O.L.

Last Ones Standing and On My Own deserved better :(

 

I would mention James Blake's

(one of my fave songs from 2010), although i'm not really sure if it's "forgotten" or not...but still, I was ECSTATIC when that made the Top 40 :heart:

 

What is with Pitbull and these slaggy women in most of his videos?

 

"Last Ones Standing" LOVE!!! Most of Example's songs have been forgotten imo despite him being a current artist.

 

LOVED NEVA SOFT!!

I loved the Example's songs from the Won't Go Quietly era - Kickstarts is such a summery tune. Last Ones Standing should have done much better, as should of Watch the Sun Go Up (it's probably less remembered than LOS).
