Posted April 30, 20187 yr Inspired by Midge's thread discussing #1's of this current decade which songs that peaked in the top 10 between #2 - #10 would you say are forgotten, undeserving of their top 10 status and caused a surprise when it achieved a peak of that nature or in hindsight looking back a few years later? This would be some of my suggestions: Forgotten Top 10's Inna - Hot Ben Pearce - What I Might Do Alyssa Reid ft Jump Smokers - Alone Again Foxes - Let Go For Tonight Surprising Top 10's Redlight - Lost In Your Love Krept & Konan ft Jeremih - Freak Of The Week Ten Walls - Walking With Elephants For the underserving top 10 hits it'd have to be any song that got into the top 10 because of ACR or whatever it's called.
April 30, 20187 yr Forgotten top 10s: - Charlie Brown - On My Way - McLean - My Name - Mike Mago & Dragonette - Outlines - Sway - Level Up I have absolutely no recollection of how 'Outlines' goes at all and it was only 3 years ago :lol:
April 30, 20187 yr There are loads of songs worsely remembered than Let Go For Tonight which is used on telly all the time
April 30, 20187 yr There are loads of songs worsely remembered than Let Go For Tonight which is used on telly all the time Yeah Let Go For Tonight is used on shows like BGT all the time, I'd say that one's actually reasonably well remembered! A couple of suggestions from me: Loveable Rogues - What a Night Marcus Collins - Seven Nation Army John Martin - Anywhere For You
April 30, 20187 yr 'Hot' is always one of my go-to songs for the summer btw! *.* that and 'Stereo Love' were the first couple of songs I thought of when compiling a playlist a couple of weeks ago when the sun came out. A shame that's a bit forgotten, I'm sure people would recognise it if it came on (well, my mum did anyway *_*) but yeah, I imagine lots wouldn't be able to recall the Inna - 'Hot' artist and title combination.
April 30, 20187 yr Who cares if they were not well remembered, couple of you have just reminded me of some banging tracks. Anywhere For You and Outlines are quality.
April 30, 20187 yr Pepper and Piano - You Took My Heart and Emma's Imagination - This Day I challenge ANYONE to remember the above or where they came from (don't cheat if you followed the charts at the time x)

Thats true about the artist/title combination, I imagine if people heard the song, a lot would not be able to identify the title. I was the same when I made my summer playlist! Most of summer 2010 music brings so many memories!
April 30, 20187 yr DJ Cassidy - Calling All Hearts This was SO bad :lol: That 'Anywhere For You' song also sprung to mind for me - and I haven't got the slightest idea how 'Outlines' goes. 'On My Way' was one of the songs of 2013 thooo :wub:
April 30, 20187 yr Matrix & Futurebound feat. Max Marshall - Control Sub Focus feat. Alex Clare - Endorphins ^ another couple. The former actually spent three weeks in the top 10 and only six weeks in the entire top 40 :mellow:
April 30, 20187 yr Pepper and Piano - You Took My Heart and Emma's Imagination - This Day I challenge ANYONE to remember the above or where they came from (don't cheat if you followed the charts at the time x) I still listen to You Took My Heart quite a lot :lol: it was very Adele just before she came back bigger than ever. Adore the John Martin song, I’ve always found it very near as euphoric as Don’t You Worry Child! I’ll offer up any of Angel’s multiple No.9 hits, Show Me Love (America) by The Wanted and Do It All Over Again by Elyar Fox.
April 30, 20187 yr 'Freak of the Week' wasn't a surprise Top10 for me! It was bang on-trend and received heavy airplay. Still a regular during R&B sections of DJ sets. 'Level Up' is a great shout, haven't heard that in years. Sway had so much better (Still Speedin' for one).
April 30, 20187 yr A more thought provoking question is what Top 10s are/will be forgotten since OA/OS and streaming became widespread? Think 'River' is definitely one.
April 30, 20187 yr Author What do you mean by "undeserving " ? Songs that got into the top 10 through luck or narrowly scraped into the top 10 by a very close margin on sales. Or songs that got into the top 10 because another song lower in the chart did not have a full 7 days to accumulate sales in a particular week. Or it could be songs that have not made as big of an impact in the long term as most top 10 hits. It's all objectively speaking of course!
