I did think that too for a long time!

I only found out recently this peaked at #18 :o I remember buying the cassette of this in Asda back in '01 and it honestly felt like the song was everywhere even if for a short period of time. Were Bellefire expected to do a lot better with it? I quite enjoy the song on relisten. :blush:

 

Love a bit of Bellefire. Also loved their cover of All I Want Is You

'Perfect Bliss' is such a great song. Also got the CD for it. I did know it didn't go top 10 or 15 at the time though probably cause the radio was on. Even when there was no online midweeks as such then lol.

I didn't listen to the radio at that point. :kink: I always thought it was a cute #4-#6 hit or something. :lol:

All I Want Is You also peaked at No.18 :( I loved both. They got a reasonable push at the time, but I can't remember it being expected to go top 10, maybe top 15.

Love Bellefire's singles.

Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More To Life #12

 

 

Still blows me away this only got as high as #12!

 

-

 

Linkin Park - Crawling #16

 

 

This always felt like one of those #5/#6 peak hits to me! My favourite Linkin Park song!

 

-

 

Linkin Park & Jay-Z - Numb/Encore #14

 

 

This was an absolute MONSTER of a hit. I assume a lot of people would have thought it was a top 10 hit, it really felt like one. Looking at it's chart run it is insane that it didn't get a top 10 peak! Instead it ended up at #14... THREE times!

That's absolutely INSANE. That chart run is even crazier when you realise it's a 2004/2005 era single.

 

In fact Linkin Park have quite a few sogs which you probably assumed would have been top 10 hits. 'One Step Closer', 'Papercut', 'Faint' and even the original 'Numb' (which also got to #14!)

@Tafty - yes to Stacie Orrico (I think I put it in the OP) it seemed like a massive hit at the time (going by its airplay on music channels lol).

OMG you did! Sorry! (You also even mentioned Linkin Park - Numb lmao!)

OMG you did! Sorry! (You also even mentioned Linkin Park - Numb lmao!)

 

Oh by all means mention them again :lol: both are fantastic tracks :wub: Stacie’s I’m Not Missing You was also a gem but not shocked that missed the top 10 :lol:
