Which song from the above list stalled at #11 for the most weeks, which would make them an even bigger loser. I know Karyn White - Superwoman stayed at #11 for 3 weeks.

Perhaps a worthy mention for Love Me Tender, Blue Christmas alongside the already included If I Can Dream
Bengy
Cliff Richard also had 3 songs peak at no. 11.
EAKMUSIC
You should make a page for every song that peaked at number 2!

I heard that "Coffee & TV" by Blur missed out on hitting the top 10, because apparently some sales went missing due to "computer error" and Blur themselves had requested a recount.

That is true, but I remember reading that although the miscalculation had been made, it was in favour of Blur. The new corrected position was actually lower than the original miscalculated one!
I think it was an OCC article that pointed that out. The original position being 11, the corrected one being 13 if I remember rightly.
I may be wrong on the exact positions, but both corrected and incorrect original positions were outside the top 10.

I went and bought that "Northern Lites" by Super Furry Animals and it stalled at No.11, and they never did get a top ten hit. I should have bought a few more copies!
Blank
3 Colours Red had the same fate with Beautiful Day at a similar time. The closest by some distance that they ever came to top 10.And I bought both CDs and the 7"!

Eric
How about songs before 1966, like at least 12 more years? And in the same vein how about songs that never peaked higher than 41 over the last 65 years?
Thomas Sales
Any chance of similar articles for each of the 100 chart positions? What I really want to know is what was the highest selling single to peak at each chart position between 1-100.

"24-Jul" by 3T is an Excel interpretation of "24/7". Can you correct that?
A Taste Of International Music
Nice! Very interesting, thanks! Some of them really should have made the Top 10!! :)
