Steps - 5-6-7-8

 

The biggest selling record never to make the Top 10. Despite shifting 300,000 copies, it never reached higher than number 14!!

 

 

Wham! - Last Christmas

 

The biggest selling record never to make Number One. Selling 1.42m copies, it was kept off the top spot by Band Aid's version of the EFM classic Do They Know It's Christmas!

 

 

Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter

 

With less than 100,000 copies sold, it has sold less copies in total than any other chart-topping single.

 

 

Daniel B'dingfield - Gotta Get Thru This

 

Sold only 25,500 copies during the week it was number one in early 2002, fewer than any other single during a chart-topping week.

Beddingfield nearly died in a car crash, there goes my christmas wish again.

Would have been the xmas number 1 but the "powers that be" (to use a brent-ism) decided it wouldn't be a good xmas number 1 so they witheld sales allowing Cliff to get to number one <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Only thing is, FleetBoy, had it been released that previous week, it only actually sold enough copies to make it about number 4, so Cliff would still have been no.1 anyway.

I'd like to believe anybody who cared about music would have gone out to buy that to make it xmas number one!
