  Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc was beaten to #1 by Akon with 'Lonely', yuck!
  
  Coldplay - Speed of Sound famously made #2 behind Crazy Frog with 'Axel F', nowhere near their best track but obviously FAR better than the competition!

  I'm going to go for one from the 80's which is always a :eek:
  
  'Vienna' by Ultravox reaching number 2 on the same week that Joe Dolce had 'Shaddap You Face' at number 1. Despite Ultravox being deprived of a number 1, 'Vienna' ended up selling more copies than 'Shaddup Your Face' by reaching number 5 in the best selling songs of 1981. 'Shaddap You Face' finished 8 in 1981's bestselling chart. Justice for Ultravox!

  Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl was kept off the top spot by 'Always on My Mind' by the Pet Shop Boys. I do like the Pet Shop Boys record but Fairytale of New York is much better in my opinion. :rolleyes:
