September 11, 201311 yr 50 Cent feat. Eminem & Adam Levine My Life Where's 50 Cent gone again? :lol: He's released some more music since My Life! :lol: My Life just got Radio 1 playlisting because of Eminem and Adam Levine probably, I don't think they'd playlist 50 Cent by himself. :(
September 11, 201311 yr Author Some I thought of: Flower - Sweet Female Attitude U Know What's Up - Donnel Jones feat. Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes Flip Reverse - Blazin' Squad The first 2 songs are definatly not non number twos. Childhood classics of mine :wub: The cockney chavs in my secondary school use to sing Flip Reverse :lol:, but i agree it probably is a non number two. The instrumental makes me laugh. "qwa q q qwa qwa q q qwa qwa qwa" :lol: Edited September 11, 201311 yr by Mr Escobar
September 11, 201311 yr 'Flowers' even re-entered the charts not long ago, I hear it all the time still and everybody knows it. It's a classic.

September 11, 201311 yr Just to point out that I Hope You Dance is a cover of Lee Ann Womack's country classic so whilst Ronan Keating's version is forgotten, the song itself certainly is not.
September 11, 201311 yr Some I feel are both forgotten and horrendous at the same time. Cliff Richard - 21st Century Christmas U2 and Greenday - The Saints Are Coming U2 - City of Blinding Lights Holly Valance - Down Boy Gordon Haskall - How Wonderful You Are
September 11, 201311 yr Jeff Buckley is perhaps one of the most FAMOUS songs that peaked at no.2. Agree. However, and I could be wrong, chartwise it wasn't all that enduring, was it
September 11, 201311 yr Some I feel are both forgotten and horrendous at the same time. Cliff Richard - 21st Century Christmas U2 and Greenday - The Saints Are Coming U2 - City of Blinding Lights Holly Valance - Down Boy Gordon Haskall - How Wonderful You Are I love How Wonderful You Are and I always prefered Down Boy (and State Of Mind) to Kiss Kiss.
September 11, 201311 yr Some I feel are both forgotten and horrendous at the same time. Holly Valance - Down Boy Played that earlier today! She has some absolute solid gold pop songs. 'Flowers' is a modern classic, and most people I know still remember it fondly! The kind of song that would make people go nuts at a party.
September 11, 201311 yr Agree. However, and I could be wrong, chartwise it wasn't all that enduring, was it Chartwise, it "technically" would be, but I would define a 'non-number 2' as a song that didn't sell in great numbers and is almost totally forgotten these days (same also for the number 1). I know that's subjective, but Hallelujah is probably one of the most recognisable songs of all time worldwide and Buckley's version, in particular, is a classic. It only fell very quick because of the circumstances behind it at the time (post Christmas, X Factor etc.), so I definitely wouldn't call it a non number 2. The suggestion of My Life earlier is spot on, that is definitely what this thread is about (and its not even been out a year has it?) Edited September 11, 201311 yr by Chez Wombat
September 11, 201311 yr Lazy? No freaking way. Probably the most overplayed dance song of this century...
September 11, 201311 yr Agree. However, and I could be wrong, chartwise it wasn't all that enduring, was it But then that brings us back to the question of what is more important: sales or cultural impact? Is that Flowrs song the one that goes, I'll bring you flow-aaars i the pyouring raayyyn? As if it is I hear it a lot.
September 12, 201311 yr You Got the Dirtee Love - Florence Welch/Dizzee Rascal (Have no idea how this version goes!)Basically the chorus of You Got The Love with the verses of Dirtee Cash by Dizzee...not too difficult if you know both songs! :lol: It had 2 weeks at #2 and 5 weeks top 10 but you may be right, if it's truly forgotten :nocheer:
September 12, 201311 yr Is that Flowrs song the one that goes, I'll bring you flow-aaars i the pyouring raayyyn? As if it is I hear it a lot. Yes it is. And it deserves to be remembered!
September 12, 201311 yr Flowers is a tuuuune! How anyone can consider it "forgotten" or a non-Number 2 is ridiculous!
September 12, 201311 yr Flowers is a tuuuune! How anyone can consider it "forgotten" or a non-Number 2 is ridiculous! This. Such a shame if Florence IS forgotten with that song as it was amazing, shame the Brits didn't boost it allt he way to #1, might be more remembered now! At least her cover is remembered. Does anyone know the year this happened? Also, if it's Lazy, that is not a non no.2 at all.

September 12, 201311 yr That Dizzee/Florence thing was HIDEOUS and hung around far longer than it should have done.
September 13, 201311 yr In a year with so many classics that hit #2 (My Name Is, Better Off Alone, Turn Around, Right Here Right Now, Beautiful Stranger, Wild Wild West, S Club Party, If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time, Re-Rewind) this one seems to be off-place, doesn't it? aBZ-3_Bm9U8
September 13, 201311 yr I adore The Launch :wub: It's not exactly well remembered but I did hear it on the soundbed to some Channel 5 TV show the other day.
