Huge Hits That Didn't Reach No.1

Tonight we'd love to hear which huge hits never made it to No1. Ultravox's Vienna was famously kept off by Joe Dolce's Shaddap You Face, who else suprisingly didn't get to the top.

Tonight we'd love to hear which huge hits never made it to No1. Alongside Englebert Humperdink keeping The Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever & Penny Lane from reaching the top, Ultravox's Vienna was famously kept off by Joe Dolce's Shaddap You Face and Pulp's Common People was pipped by Robson & Jerome's Unchained Melody. Tonight we would love to hear the big hits that never made the top spot.
