So, what is this thread? I want you to tell me the songs that you think shouldnt have flopped, but sadly they did.

 

For me, its got to be Vampire Weekend - A Punk. I downloaded it but it peaked at #55, I think.

 

I'm expecting a few 'Gabriella Cilmi's' which I agree with because Save The Lies was better than Sweet About Me IMO!

 

But, back to you, what song flopped that you think shouldnt?

 

Cast your opinion!

This probably should be in UK Chart Chat, I accidentally put it in the wrong place.

Moved to Chart Chat.

 

My list aswell:

Ashlee Simpson - Outta My Head

Solange - I Decided

Sandi Thom - Devils Beat

Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Dont Drop It

Sonny J - Hnadsfree

Gabriella Cilmi - Save The Lies

Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn

Estelle - No Substitiute Love

Wideboys - Daddy O

Christian Falk/Robyn - Dream On

Annie - I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me

Alicia Keys - Superwoman & Teenage Love Affair

Avenue - Last Goodbye

Atomic Kitten - Anyone Who Had A Heart

Kat DeLuna - Run The Show

Brit & Alex - Let It Go

agree with the majortiy of Aled's list, Sandi Thom and Christian Falk/Robyn particularly sticking out

 

Boyzone's Better should not have ended their consecutive top tens run :cry:

Atomic Kitten - Anyone Who Had A Heart

 

now this one definitely deserved to flop - surely one of the worst cover versions of all time by Britain's worst-ever girlband?

Agreed great song :P

For me, its got to be Vampire Weekend - A Punk. I downloaded it but it peaked at #55, I think.

Of course A Punk is amazing, but it's peak was fine. Its still the 2nd biggest song by them and it was released twice ^_^

I thought it at least deserved Top 40, its a really good IMO.

Well if anything it was Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, which was just as good and did much worse :(

Mariah hasn't had a great year and Sam Sparro's 21st Century Life deserved at least Top 40 IMO. :(

My MAJOR Flop:

OneRepublic - Say (All I Need)

=======================================

Avenue - Last goodbye

Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn*

Kat DeLuna - Run the Show*

Christian Falk feat. Robyn - Dream On

Solange - Sandcastle Disco

Cascada - What Do You Want From Me (I know a few people will disagree, but it's one of my faves off the album :cry:)

The Cribs - I'm a Realist

Goldfrapp - A&E (Not exactly a Flop, but deserved to stay in the chart ALOT longer than it did :()

Cassie - Is It You

Alphabeat - What Is Happening?

Basshunter - I Miss You (But 4th single from an album that's almost gone platinum, nowadays is to be expected)

Lemar - If She Knew

Craig David - Insomnia*

 

* = Released as Download Only.

Even though this hasn't really charted yet, I know that No Can Do by Sugababes will be a flop. :cry:

 

Other songs:

 

Christian Falk ft. Robyn - Dream On

Solange - I Decided

Solange - Sandcastle Disco

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye

Duffy - Stepping Stone (I know this still peaked Top 25, but I thought it would do better)

Duffy - Rain On Your Parade (same as Stepping Stone)

Gabriella Cilmi - Save The Lies

Gabriella Cilmi - Sanctuary

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye #30 :drama:

 

This was the year's most deserving flop, I think. There are no words to describe how awful this song is. :puke2:

Sandcastle Disco / Catfights & Spotlights in general :cry:

Ashlee Simpson - Outta My Head

Annie - I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me

 

Those two should have been top3 at the very least :(

 

Duffy's last two singles should have charted much higher too.

Dream On, deserved to be higher, it just got lost with all the Xmas releases it would be better off released early Jan 09, it would have done a lot better, dance tracks tend to do quite well at the beginning oif the year

My MAJOR Flop:

OneRepublic - Say (All I Need)

=======================================

Solange - Sandcastle Disco

Alphabeat - What Is Happening?

 

I completely agree with them. Love them both.

Darren Hayes - Casey

Atomic Kitten - Anyone Who Had A Heart

Avenue - Last Goodbye

Single was a singe!? :P :o

 

Yes it was - Download and physical release and still could not make the Top 75 :cry:
