Yeah it was easy to miss in the T10, it only had 2 weeks in the region 3 weeks apart.

Mostly just UK artists who are too local - Jess Glynne, Cheryl, Little Mix, most X Factor winners.

Definitely, loads of random dance songs by relatively unknown artists also

 

The interesting answers are the ones that are successful in the US also though

For example Marvin Gaye (the Meghan Trainor song :biblio:) is an interesting example

'Spice Up Your Life' - US #18

'Stop' - US #16

'Goodbye' - US #11

'Holler' - US Bubbling Under #12 :eli:

I think Stop missed #1 in the UK (one of their only songs to do so).

Feels needs to go too 10. I don’t know why they’re not discounting it. Most of the top 20 songs on iTunes are discounted, maybe half of the top 100. It’s in the top 20 without a discount, imagine the wonders it’d do. :rip:

 

On a side note, was Feels discounted in the UK?

The ones in bold all DID impact in the US.

 

And Use Somebody smashed in the US which is basically identical to Sex On Fire.

US has much better taste tbh. 

Some of these uk only top 10s are rubbish. (Except toxic, every time)

They didn't hit the top ten though, which is what the thread was asking for.

Yeah. I thought he said they "didnt impact here".

 

James Arthur's song is another one. It's a UK #1 that hasn't made top 10 in the US, but was still a smash hit.
