HiyaLuv!

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).

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

It's a contractual obligation, you know this. And is The Great Pretender even that good? It's a cover too!

Mr Hadji, The lead times on vinyl are ludicrous. By the time the records were available, every song on the album would be absolutely ancient and there would be limited public interest in them. But you already know this, yet choose to persistently ignore these obvious massive obstacles. It's like talking to a brick wall. But you rarely respond to anything, you just double down on your crazy ideas, like this forum's pjex (if you know, you know), and just say "they should" a lot. Happy Monday!

2000 playlist looks massive, it's a long time ago but I was listening, did they just play fewer recurrents then to accommodate the extra stuff? Can't remember!
