To my knowledge, Brown Eyed Girl didn't get a release over here, hence why it didn't make the chart.

 

Thought of some more that should have been huge:

 

Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down

Dead Or Alive - Brand New Lover

Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison

Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes

Voyager - Halfway Hotel

Dobie Gray - Drift Away

The Who - Who Are You

Prefab Sprout - Cars And Girls

To my knowledge, Brown Eyed Girl didn't get a release over here

 

Oh yes it did! Three times in fact: 1967, 1970 and 1974. Amazed it never charted! It must be the most famous non-hit ever!!
