Songs That Should Have Been Number 1

[renegadefm]

We have all bought singles over the years or heard them on the radio and thought my God that is a sure fire hit, or even a number 1, but so many has stalled in the lower top 40.

 

My song I wanted to mention tonight is Status Quo - Restless from 1994, and I wanted to add it here to see if anyone feels the same as me and it's a hit that got away.

We were standing at a Craft Fair today. This came on over the sound system and at least 80% of the people were a'movin and a'groovin by the end.
