  Every song from my most favorite singer James Otto to me should have gone all the way, but sadly only one song from him did.
  
  "The Ball" (peak position #45)
  "Long Way Down" (did not chart)
  "Days Of Our Lives" (peak position #33)
  "Sunday Morning And Saturday Night" (peak position #58)
  "Just Got Started Lovin' You" (his only #1)
  "For You" (peak position #39)
  "These Are The Good Ole Days" (peak position #36)
  "Since You Brought It Up" (peak position #37)
  "A Groovy Little Summer Song" (peak position #26)
  "Soldiers & Jesus" (peak position #34)
  "Somewhere Tonight" (has not charted yet)
  
  God bless you and him always!!!

  Never liked " Vienna"" by Ultravox but I still it should've made the top.

  SO many by Kylie:
  
  Got To Be Certain, The Loco-Motion, Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi (all spent 3+ weeks at #2 iirc), Better The Devil You Know, Confide In Me, Love At First Sight, I Believe In You, 2 Hearts (she would've definitely been #1 if this was a stronger single) and All The Lovers.

  This was #1 - it's one of her best!
  
  It's a bit of a random one, but I'm always surprised that Good Luck by Basement Jaxx not only failed to make #1, but actually failed to make top 10. It has all the makings of a massive hit, got tons of airplay too

  Whole of the Moon- Waterboys. A classic song and a classic case of "Woz robbed"

  I nearly mentioned that. Really should have been at the top.
  
  I would also say Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues.

  Roxy Music - Dance Away
  Duran Duran - Save a Prayer
  Madonna - Beautiful Stranger
  Robbie & Kylie - Kids

  
  I agree with all of those except Kylie- All The Lovers. A terrible song that never deserved to be number 1

  Yep agree with all of those, and I'd add -
  MJ - Bad and Beat It and although not one of my favourite MJ tracks Man In The Mirror really should have been number one after he died.
  ABBA - I Have A Dream which should have been Xmas number one.

  We Belong Together by Mariah - considering that Ghetto Gospel (?) song is largely forgotten, it kept it from no.1, We Belong Together is still remembered. She promoted this like crazy over here the week it was released and it settled for no.2
  
  Hold It Against Me by Britney - now had this not been released on a Monday and on a Sunday instead this could have easily been her 6th no.1 considering at the rate it was selling. Debuted at no.6 instead.

  Is it? I wouldn't have said so.
  
  Somebody above mentioned Tina's The Heartache is Over, but what about 'The Best' I was shocked when I discovered that never made #1. According to Wikipedia it made #5, and has reached the top 10 on two occasions, so it's not all bad

  I was going to add that it is almost criminal that OMD never had a number one in the UK, and didn't Deee-Lite miss out by just a few copies ?
