Only one answer to this for me :

 

Another Girl, Another Planet by the Only Ones. Failed to chart when first released, made no. 57 as a re-release in 1992.

How about these three, then :

 

Nerina Pallot - Sophia

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly

Dark Globe - Break My World

 

I thought Sophia made low top 40...

 

I have loads and loads but one that particularly hurt was Do That Thang by Masai in 2003, I think it got to No.42/43...having been low top 40 all week :( I would have loved to have heard it on the chart show

How about these three, then :

 

Nerina Pallot - Sophia

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly

Dark Globe - Break My World

 

Sophia scraped in at #32.

It should have been #1!

Edited by Tobes

Brian Adams-Summer of 69

Towa Tei ft Kylie Minogue german bold italic

Van Morrison-Bright side of the road

Bon Jovi Lost highway

Celine Dion if u asked me to

Ellie Campbell dont want you back

Jump n Joy vamoz everybody

 

Sophia scraped in at #32.

I adored the single version with the added strings, had so much more impact than than the album version

I might put that Nerina song on my iTunes actually, I only have the album version on there...

 

*goes to dig out CD single* :heehee:

 

oh I just thought of another one:

 

Fifth Avenue - Spanish Eyes

 

 

missed the top 75 here, although I believe it went top ten in Ireland

Too many to mention - As I don't go along with the short Top 40. If it you had gone for the Top 75 or Top 100 that would have been easier.

What a great list - remove Brandy and a few others and this would be a very acceptable substitute to the substandard offical Top 50

 

I might put that Nerina song on my iTunes actually, I only have the album version on there...

 

*goes to dig out CD single* :heehee:

 

oh I just thought of another one:

 

Fifth Avenue - Spanish Eyes

 

 

missed the top 75 here, although I believe it went top ten in Ireland

 

My best friend used to love that song :lol: drove me crazy, we have a Fifth Avenue round the corner :lol:

 

Terri Walker - Woopsie Daisy should have been top 40.

for this year

Bodyrox & Luciana - What Planet U on

Buy Now - Bodycrash

Hercules and Love Affair - You Belong

Pendulum - the Other Side

Tikaro, J. Louis & Ferran Feat. Clarence - Shine On Me

Denise Lopez - Don't You wanna Be Mine

Ricki-Lee - U wanna little of this

DJ Disciple - Work It Out

......

No Doubt - Simple Kind of Life

 

One of my favourite songs of all time, and deserved to reach much higher than no.69! :angry:

The All-American Rejects - Move Along???

 

I had it in my head that was Top 10!! Must have just been the fact it was never off Radio 1 for a few months in 06

There must be tons of top notch tunes out there that didn't reach the top 40. A couple that come to mind are:

Julia by The Eurythmics

and

La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier

oh and another:

Today by Zero 7

 

I think it just goes to show that not all that is good are hits and also not all that are hits are good ;)

I'll scour my iTunes for this one. Going by songs that were actually released in the UK and failed to make the UK top 40...

 

As I am extremely bored, I will add a positon for each one. :P
