This is going back a bit but... GROOVE IS IN THE HEART by DEE-LITE, a true dance classic. It got beaten by THE STEVE MILLER BAND and THE JOKER, apparently by something like 12 copies. Damn those sh***y jeans ads :angry:

Leona Lewis- Better In Time (though shoving it with the poor FITS didn't help)

Darude- Sandstorm :w00t:

Natalie Imbruligia- Torn

Edited by Harve

Ultravox - Vienna

Mr Blue Sky - ELO

Something About You - Level 42

 

Oh and Rule The World by Take That - but fair do's it was beaten by a good song. And RTW is having the last laugh I suppose by still being in the chart over a year later!

 

There are loads of others ... can't be bothered to look! I've got a cold and I can't even have the day off work tomorrow because its a new job!

 

Norma

not nearly ALL of GA's back catalogue can be added They have really good songs, but some didn't deserve Number 1
Thats where the word 'nearly' comes into the equasion!

I'd say 'No Good Advice', 'Love Machine', 'Biology', Something Kinda Oooh' and 'Call The Shots' deserved it. Add that to their actual four #1's id say thats over half of GA's back catalogue of singles!

Pulp - "Common People".. Just DO NOT understand why this didn't make No1 at all...

Evanescence - "Lithium".. Well, I think we all know what happened there, the fukkin' record company absolutely making a hash of the promotion... It should have been No1 for about a MONTH, a gorgeous, contemporary Rock Ballad, which deserved a LOT better...

Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Lithium" (not the same song as Evanescence by the way LOL)... Both almost certainly should have made it

The Sex Pistols - "God Save The Queen"... Well, er, that actually DID sell the most records, but let's face it, was NEVER gonna be allowed to be No 1 in the Queen's Silver Jubilee year.... :rolleyes:

New Order - "Blue Monday"... The 12" has sold over 1 million copies (the sort of sales the likes of The Saturdays and Girls Aloud will never see for a single, let's face it..) and is regarded as the most successful 12" single of all time, and yet, NEVER made it to No 1 in UK singles chart (it got No 1 in the Indie charts however)... I mean, WTF, how does that even HAPPEN?????? :wacko: :wacko:

I agree with that.... No one even gave a flying fukk about sodding Steve Millar until that advert came out.... It really p!sses me off that people seem to define their musical tastes by what tunes appear on some bloody telly advert.... It's like, "GO AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO SOME FUKKIN' RECORDS RET@RDS....." :angry: :angry: :angry:

 

Sorry, but that has always yanked my chain tbh...

I never knew 'Put Yourself In My Place' was a cover.

And Piece of Me :o I was shocked when Basshunter got to number 1 over that :o

 

I wasn't, I was surprised it even got as high as #2 that week but it did deserve it.

 

I honestly thought 'Gimme More' was a 100% shoe-in for #1 and would be one of the biggest hits of that year.

Those are the mine 5 i agree, I'd also add Jump to this list, it sold enough on the week didnt it and is one of their best sellers. Damn that blooming Westlife :angry:

Your sig just completely reminded me of Spice Girls - Headlines...

 

I was sooooooooooo expecting that to go #1...at least it was #1 if you don't include the Top 10 :lol:

Down to personal opinion i suppose

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone :(

 

indeed, beaten one week by Ronan Keating, Westlife and Geri Halliwell, all on separate weeks :cry: and the week Westlife beat it, they were just 500 copies ahead :(

 

Robbie Williams - Angels

Pink - Who Knew

Take That - Rule the world

Cascada - Everytime We Touch

Shakira - Wherever Whenever

 

Thats as far as i can think :D

You know, i was convinced until a few years back that Angels had been a #1. Incredible that it only reached #4 yet is still his best known song IMO.
