20 fantastic records that never reached UK No.1 on their original release! Every one of these songs has, according to our best research and estimates, sold more than enough over its lifetime to have been a UK No.1 hit. Some have sold vastly more than many actual chart-toppers! Think of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers or “Wonderwall” by Oasis. Neither reached UK No.1, yet both became enormous long-term successes. Some came agonisingly close, while others found their greatest success years later. They may have missed the top spot, but they certainly didn’t miss out on success!
