33. The Killers - Mr. Brightside

This going back in the top 40 would be amazing!

Come on 'Mr. Brightside'. NEEDS to re-enter the top 40 at least.

FINALLY! :cry:

Come on 'Mr. Brightside'. NEEDS to re-enter the top 40 at least.

 

One of the best songs in the past decade... masterpiece!

What was done with 'Anything Could Happen'?

 

Ellie herself duetted with Luke Friend. :)

 

Yeah, Ellie duetted with Luke. Best performance of the series (though I haven't been paying a huge amount of attention).

 

Wasn't expecting 'Human' to be so close behind 'Mr. Brightside'! If they could both re-enter the top 40 that would be fabulous but it's probably very unlikely (not even 'Mr. Brightside' is guaranteed to re-enter probably :()

If 'Mr Brightside' did re-enter the Top 40, am I right in saying this would be the first time since it first left the Top 40 back in 2004?

Luke helping 'Anything Could Happen' re-enter is the only thing he's been useful for.

Correct, the highest it has re-entered has been #48! :P

Yes. It spent 3 weeks in the top 40 (10-26-38) and has never returned since - but it has added 90 additional top 100 weeks since then, as well as being in the top 200 close to every week since the start of 2007 (might have stopped being so regular in the last year or so actually, but it has had 8 top 100 weeks in 2013 alone).

Cheers, I thought so! It's quite extraordinary that a song with an original underwhelming chart run could become so successful on downloads and is probably presumed to have been a #1 by many.

 

How well-know/liked was it back in 2004?

Fairly averagely, for me it's the prime example of a track to grow in fame after its release.

That bolded part is so so wrong that it hurts me.
