Yeah, trying to stick to one per artist but very open to suggestions. Go ahead and add, especially if you can think of more things by big acts that didn't make the Top 40 in the days when it was relatively easy to. Just realised it needs some pre-Born Slippy Underworld! If anyone wants to add them in at the bottom, I'm sure I'll find a suitable place to slice them in!

Okay, using my very random brain, I've quickly put all the suggestions into what could be a coherent order, but I'll have to go through it properly to make sure. Went for 1 track per artist. I definitely don't think this was a waste of time in any way, I've come out with exactly what I wanted. Transmission into Bizarre Love Triangle is a great one-two punch opener if I do say so myself. No they're not the same band. And BLT into Like a Motorway sounded fantastic. Let's Go To Bed - The Drowners - Stairway To Heaven - Piano Man has been a fabulous run too. Great to hear Straight Outta Compton again too. Word to the motherf**ker! Went into Mama Said Knock You Out* flawlessly. Okay, got to 84 using some of Dermot O'L's choices from the Radio 2 show, can we credibly get it to 100 without resorting to DJ Supermarket and MC Catflap who got to #98 in July 1990 with Pot Noodle Time (In The House), which I completely just made up off the top of my head? Might add My Book by The Beautiful South, best commercial suicide follow-up to A Little Time they could have possibly come up with. *Jaz13Music is a legend for suggesting this. When I was compiling my 90s playlists it was all about the biggest chart and radio hits so I missed it but I forgot how banging it is, great to hear it again. Not overwhelmed with the 'this is subjective, what's the point' comments but I've road-tested the first half of it and it's mint so thanks so much to the people that did co-operate. Also, there are much worse ways you could spend a Sunday afternoon if you're at a loose end today, so sit back, press play and let the prestigious flops wash all over you. It's reconnected me with a load of bangers I haven't heard for ages, like W.F.L., which sounds brilliant! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2hl27S0jL3ftrG1RUmjgNe?si=17165a84a20a4354&pt=0a0fb8abb92ea99d99d374e316e9b75a

It does tend to be a ten-year limit unless they're really big.

Yep, I presumed this was a UK single for a long time as I'd heard it so many times on the radio etc. Looking forward to compiling all the best suggestions into a playlist tomorrow!

That's a great playlist right there!

Considering the suggestions have mainly consisted of VERY well-known songs by very big names that I'm amazed didn't chart and I previously presumed did well in the hit parade, I'd say you 'just said' wrong. It's been very helpful to me and others, apparently. Also had no idea Crazy Train didn't go Top 40 at the time until this week.

WOAH, I had absolutely no idea these didn't go Top 40. Thanks! Somehow many of these got on my retro playlists anyway, not sure how, it's about seven years since I compiled them. See, there IS a point to this thread!

Not hurting anyone is it?

Thanks to everyone that didn't moan, I'm glad some people are getting something out of it. I know I have!

(mod note - merged with "ARTISTS PREMATURELY BINNED OFF BY RADIO 1/SENT TO RADIO 2") Hi everyone, I'm back with another annoying thread that people will criticise but contribute to anyway. I'll get the ball rolling with Jessie Ware and Two Door Cinema Club. Not a massive fan of P!nk but her songs still do well on streaming and in the charts etc and it seemed they binned her off the second she turned 40. Kylie an obvious example. She only got on twice in two years because one went viral and the other was with The Blessed Madonna, who isn't exactly 20 herself but still a relatively 'new' artist. I'd never heard of a Trust Fall/Trustfall until a few years ago.

Plastic Box not quite clicking for me I'm afraid. I was surprised at Dior returning to #1 too, guess I went overboard with Victory Lap just over a month ago and now those stats don't count and it's settled back!

Inspired by the other thread, I thought we would go for even more. Sorry if some of these are already in that. Also open to things that weren't even released as singles in the UK but are extremely well-known anyway. Obviously it's normal for big songs to miss the Top 40 all the time now so should we keep this to, I don't know, 2009 max? It's largely to help me fill gaps in my retro playlists. Basically tunes that are pretty famous now but didn't do a lot then. So please help me. Sorry if I or six million other Buzzjackers have done this before. I can't remember! I know I'll probably get sh!t for this. But it will really be really useful, I don't want my throwback playlists to be missing a single non-charting classic (nothing since about 2006 really matters as I used Radio 1 last.fm stats to compile those)! Many of these will be guitar bands. I'll get the ball rolling with: Joy Division: Pretty much everything apart from Love Will Tear Us Apart and Atmosphere The Cure: Boys Don't Cry (at least originally), Jumping Someone Else's Train, Charlotte Sometimes, Let's Go To Bed etc New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle, The Perfect Kiss Elbow: Powder Blue Manics: Motown Junk R.E.M: Stand, By The River Pixies: Monkey Gone To Heaven Suede: The Drowners Annie: Heartbeat Rick James: Superfreak Stevie Nicks: The Edge of Seventeen Robert Palmer: Johnny and Mary A Flock of Seagulls: I Ran St. Etienne: Like A Motorway (remember this from when I was 11 somehow but only realised it didn't chart a few months ago. They were great on Top of the Pops, Pale Movie is ace!) Turns out Dermot has some too Some of those charted the second time round though. These are just from the top of my head, feel free to come up with more options that are a bit less guitary. Just found out this got to #77 in 1991. Had no idea! Also Come Out And Play by The Offspring got to #98 for one week in autumn 1994, but I had to keep that separated. EDIT: Google says there have been several threads along these lines, but not one exactly like this and some of them were quite short or a very long time ago. Doubt most of these have gone platinum either.

Great idea, gonna use these for my retro playlists (kind of just gone Top 40-only for most pre-download ones).

Also one of the very few times when I've shared a #1 with the Official Singles Chart. It's taken MK a long time to get here as a lead artist, amazing scenes. John Reid (RIP) would be very happy.

I would appreciate it if they did the 00s properly, these years deserve a deeper dive and some of the Millennium choices were very random. I have bought all the Yearbooks so far aside from 1997 and 1998 because there are too many important omissions and they were hardly my favourite years anyway. I COULD end my collection at 1994 or 1995 but let's face it, I'll probably get the standard editions if/when they're cheaper. Just happy to have finally completed the 80s!

Do not be surprised if Victory Lap is at the top of my chart for the next 400 years from Friday. It's right up my street, it could have been designed for me, it makes me feel so good! Hope you're well.

Cheers, here are all the biggest and best bangers from the past few months of HiyaLuv charts if you like that sort of thing! ALTERNATIVE NOW 121
