Sometimes you don't need to reach the #1 spot in the charts to become more iconic than most of those #1 hits. Here are some examples: We Don't Need Another Hero (Tina Turner, Material Girl (Madonna, Express Yourself (Madonna, Purple Rain (Prince, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper, Gloria (Laura Branigan, The Wild Boys (Duran Duran, Open Arms (Journey, Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House) etc

Besides her many US #1s, Madonna had four US #2 hits in the 80s: Material Girl, Causing a Commotion, Express Yourself and Cherish, followed by Prince with three: Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret and U Got The Look.
The 80s were so good musically speaking that reaching the Top 5 (and in several cases even the Top 10) was enough of an honor for a hit song to become a timeless classic.

To this day, I'm still shocked that Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me is the band's signature song while a lesser-known single from the iconic Hysteria album, Love Bites, went #1 here in the US. Also, Friends and Lovers from Gloria Loring and the late Carl Anderson was supposed to hit the airwaves in '85, but it didn't hit the airwaves until the 2nd quarter of '86 due to legal issues.

Well, if these songs didn't top the US chart, that just demonstrates the unparalleled power of 80's music. So nice to remember 6: 29 and 7: 33, such a classic American sound of the late 80's. And there's still something new to discover - 8: 09 not only covers the 60's hit but also rips 5: 42 and 7: 58 videos off: ): ): )

Yo, Some random dude. How about a video of songs that were in both the #1 and #2 slots (either order) consecutively Or songs that were in the top 10 for more than 4 weeks at a time (regardless of position)

Foreigner should have had a #1 hit with Waiting For A Girl Like You, but it got held out of the top spot by an 80s juggernaut of a song: Olivia Newton John's Physical which was at#1 for 10 weeks.

No. 1 songs that got the no. 2 only in the charts. FOREIGNER, JOURNEY, DEF LEPPARD, START ME UP by THE ROLLING STONES, ROSSANA by TOTO are good examples about unforgetable songs ever.

Can you please make a video All German #2s of the 70s/ nr. 2 Hits Deutschland 1970 - 1979. And then you have a video #2 hit in Germany from the 80s and 90s, but not from the 70s.

Those n 2 are vastly superior to nr1. Probably nr 3 are even better. And no hits from the albums are the best of all. Nr 1 are bought, my only explanation

I'm saddened with the omission of Roll With It in 1988, and yet a dumpsterfire that is Milli Vanilli (or whatever, who cares) is allowed.
