Shortlist for Official Charts Pop Gem #77: Under-appreciated Number 1s
Each week we ask for your overlooked classics, or big hits of yesteryear that deserve some more love, to add to our Pop Gem Hall Of Fame.
This week we were after long lost chart-toppers, those Number 1s that maybe aren’t quite as appreciated as they should’ve been.
They may have reached the peak of the charts, but time can be cruel and only the strong survive the collective poor memories of us pop lovers.
You nominated your favourite overlooked Number 1s and we narrowed it down to the following 10 songs. Who are you backing? Don’t forget to check out our video playlist of all the contenders.
