Best single that never made the UK top 40 singles chart

What is your favourite single that never reached the UK top 40 singles chart?

For me it would have to be Alphaville's Forever Young. It is a great song that only reached a measly no. 98 in the UK charts. How, I don't know, it must have been marketed badly as it is a fantastic track, the 12" version is even better!

Don’t know about that, but loved their better known single. I recall being briefly obsessed with the lead singer’s lips; so very red.


... I’m only typing this in my head aren’t I?

Lack of air play due to lyrical content didnt help lol
Was it Rising Star that was picked for TOTP when at number 41 but technicians went on strike so the show was cancelled?

Dont know about Rising Star but I know Take 5 was the first single outside the Top 40 to ever be performed on TOTP.

This is the performance
