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!!! ![]() Holly |

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. |

![]() 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

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. |

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
