July 8, 200816 yr Most Successful Acts Not To Have A Number 1 Single Depeche Mode have had most Top 40 hits without making No. 1 (42 of them up to Nov 2006). In fact, they've never risen above No. 4. Billy Fury has spent 231 weeks on the Top 40. No other artist has spent longer on the chart without making No. 1. His best chart placing was Number 2 for "Jealousy" in 1961. Special mention must also go to Sash! who has made Number 2 on five occasions. No other artist has been 'runner up' with so many singles without ever making it to Number 1. (Jon) Bon Jovi has featured on twenty Top 10 singles but never made the number 1 position. Three hits behind, Janet Jackson has appeared on seventeen Top 10 singles without reaching the top spot. from Everyhit.com
July 8, 200816 yr It is quite shocking that a band like Depeche Mode has never had a top 3 hit. Classics like Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus, It's No Good, Just Can't Get Enough and People are people are some of the most influential music to come out of the 90s and 80s. They deserved not only a top 3 placing but #1. Oh well, they were #1 in my list with Depeche Mode being my second most favourite band :) Thanks Brutarn for the information. I never knew they were holding that record :)
July 8, 200816 yr Im shocked Janet Jackson hasnt had one too. and also surprised that Bon Jovi hasnt had one!
July 8, 200816 yr Nat King Cole has had 33 singles without going to #1... 31 of them were top 40, including 15 top ten hits.
July 9, 200816 yr Im shocked Janet Jackson hasnt had one too. and also surprised that Bon Jovi hasnt had one! She almost did at Easter 2001, she lead in the midweeks with 'All For You' all week before being overhauled at the weekend by Emma Bunton and Shaggy to end up at No3.
