The Killers’ Mr Brightside becomes biggest song to never reach UK No 1
Band overtake Oasis’s Wonderwall and celebrate how the much-chanted chart staple ‘has been completely embraced by the British public’
The Killers’ Mr Brightside, already the longest-running Top 100 hit in UK chart history, has been named the biggest song on record not to reach No 1. Following the Killers and Oasis in the ranking of the most successful non-No 1s is John Legend, whose open-hearted piano ballad All of Me is another wedding staple – though more for walking down the aisle than slipping over on the dancefloor. Hozier’s Take Me to Church and the Pogues’ Fairytale of New York round out the top five, followed by Ed Sheeran’s Castle on the Hill, Vance Joy’s Riptide (another song that only reached No 10), Bastille’s Pompeii, Passenger’s Let Her Go and George Ezra’s Budapest.
