Looks like the ball had a slow puncture :p

I had an idea for a compilation of airplay hits. That is songs played to death on the radio which didn't chart from the 1960's,1970's 1980's 1990's and 2000's.Anybody want to suggest the ones for the current decade is welcome to.
Here's some examples 1960's The Days Of Pearly Spencer

I've never understood why 80's shows and "drive time hits" insist on playing a band most quite likely won't remember called C0ck Robin* who's only hit 'The Promise You Made' had an unillustrious three week stint in the top forty peaking at 23 in August 1986. :confused:

At the very same time Furnitures 'Brilliant Mind' was five places higher at 18 and J&MCs 'Some Candy Talking' was five places higher again at 13. I have NEVER heard the Furniture song on any radio show and the Mary Chain track only on the obvious indie shows.

It's a mystery wrapped in a conundrum and shrouded in an unfathomable.

EDIT: :-D the filter doesn't allow you to use the word C O C K. **** a doodle doo!!!

If I were to put together a compilation album right now, it'd be all Funkadelic.

Heggy, there's a similar kind of thread here and here

Mostly didn't chart due to poor sales. In some cases cause people bought the albums the songs were on instead. But then people are strange. Everyone says Scott 4 by Scott Walker released in 1969 was his best 60's solo album. And I would agree. It's the only one of his first four that didn't CHART!

Lionel Richie

At various different times in the 1970's and 1980's certain singles weren't released promptly in Ireland. The result the songs were charting in Britain sometimes top 20 and they could not be got for love nor money here.
This was due to sometimes being on independent labels who had not organised a distribution deal for the Republic Of Ireland.
That's why back in the 1970's I joined Radio Luxemebourg's Club 208 so I could order stuff from England. I only called on their services twice and one of them was for Jonathan Richman's '' Roadrunner '' which reached no. 11 in Britain in 1977 and didn't get a release over here.

Here's my Airplay selections one per year from 1967-86 Some of these charted but not in the UK Top 40.
1967 The Days of Pearly Spencer - David McWilliams
1968 Soul Coaxing - Raymond Lefebvre and His Orchestra
1969 Brown Eyed Girl -Van Morrison
1970 Bell Bottom Blues - Derek And The Dominos
1971 Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin ( never released as a single)
1972 Johnny's Wedding - Horslips
1973 A Rainy Night in Georgia - Brook Benton
1974 Run And Hide - The Philadelphia Flyers
1975 Comin' Home - Deep Purple
1976 Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck
1977 Oxygene part 6 - Jean-Michel Jarre ( b -side of the famous one)
1978 I Will Love You Tomorrow - KC And The Sunshine Band
1979 Driver's Seat Sniff N' The Tears
1980 Falcon - Rah Band
1981 Love You Like I Never Loved Before - John O'Banion
1982 Parade - White And Torch
1983 When Sly Calls - Michael Franks
1984 Guardian Angel - Masquerade
1985 Forever Man -Eric Clapton
1986 Slow Train To Dawn -The The

Now that you have the general Idea does anyone want to pick one from each of the last 20 years?
