records that never made no 1 but should have done

[dionysus]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned the worst travesty in the history of the charts.......

No.1 Please Release Me Englebert Humperdink
No.2 Strawberry Fields Forever The Beatles

OI! Humperdink....Noooooo!!!!

wat about pet clark no 1 in 67 with this is my song[yawn]

[buttsie]

The Scorpions version of 'this is my song' was much better but for some reason I'm betting the 2 weren't the same


cheers

no buttsie,the pet clark 1 was written by charlie chaplin.

[rhubarb]

best song never to get to number 1 music by John Miles period

[David Watts]

Waterloo Sunset only made number 2, but then I guess most people were fed up with songs about Liverpool by then...

[buttsie]

The Nutty Theme by madness...exceptional

Give me head by the radiators...

Smut by skyhooks

cheers

horror movie!is on a old c90 of mine somewhere,good song true too!.

[buttsie]

Horror Movie was a political statement about the horror on the nightly news
hardly grounds for a number 1....I prefer tall timber or jukebox in siberia meself
